I think we need stronger legal protections against searching our data, even when we put it into the custody of others.

For example, I would like to have security cameras that record to the cloud, but all the big NVR providers will cough up data to law enforcement upon request. That means that a Ring/Nest camera is effectively a police camera.

But that’s bullshit, because the best place to store security camera storage is somewhere other than the property you are surveilling, but I still want my goddamned privacy at home!

So I can either run Chinese network security nightmare cameras whose operators are outside of my jurisdiction, or I can run standard RTSP to my own cloud VPS and hope that it’s harder for the police to get their hands on that footage since I am the NVR operator and can encrypt my footage at rest.

The VPS option I chose is also the most expensive option, and it wasn’t easy to set up.

Lots of weirdos in here who will be commiting virtual crimes all day when GTA VI comes out, but somehow think making the LLM role play a torture victim is a red flag.

LLMs are not conscious. They cannot suffer. They are token generators. You are literally getting upset by a worthless mix of math and words. The person who did this is not deranged for torturing LLMs, y’all are deranged for having empathy for an algorithm.

Your Nvidia GPU is not alive. I cannot believe this needs to be explained to anyone.

GTA VI is coming out next month. Do you think that players are likely to steal cars and murder sex workers after playing? Do you regard the players as future criminals, given their dedication to a crime simulator?

Should the players who drive on the sidewalk be investigated?

Give Jack Thompson call… Oh wait, he got disbarred for this nonsense.
