Just let it flap its fingers/lips. It's not about correct or incorrect. It's about having the last say before everyone else quits fighting. It's somehow proven to the BSer that they are above all others and have all of the information anyone needs. It's exactly like narcissism but completely different. ;)

China in general doesn't really seem to care about foreign intellectual property rules. Their entire MO seems to be copying existing designs and finding ways to produce them more cheaply.
Agreed. My brain sort of divides two known Asian countries we buy a lot from (others omitted to reduce info overload and comment length).
Japan - think, innovate, practice, sell, reduce costs to be able to do business with whatever means you feel are necessary, but play fair on the market.
China - take ideas, copy them, change them a hair but not much, cheapen the labor costs associated with them to the n'th degree, always be "lowest cost".
Referencing the second, I don't think they know how to invent or innovate modern stuff. It's always been SO easy to copy and rebrand for sale at a lower price than all competitors that they never had to learn how to think in a different way. Sounds familiar to something going on right now......... *sniff*

Is OpenAI saying that DeepSeek trained on its intellectual property without permission? How dare they! I've never known any AI proponent to be flippant about IP rules.
OpenAI stole it fair and square, just ask them.
I think it's a knee-jerk reaction and beyond my control, so please don't hate me. I felt the uncontrollable desire to yelp, "RIGGED!"

Seriously.
I thought ToR was already thrown to the dog poop heap because FBI/etc had hacked it and found ways to track and target anything they wanted. Did I miss some big news that makes that impossible? I don't pay attention to the "news", so yeah. Need to "call a friend." lol

I present a ban on all Chinese technology and a new tariff structure for things and stuff."
*two hours pass*
"I promise you that this is harmless. There is no way anything bad can come from it. I spoke with several very nice Chinese people who made it clear that it's for the good of the world and I am not questioning them... because they are very good, truthful, giving..............and uh, supportive......... This technology needs to be used by everyone. Growl."

No. Here's what L4S actually is:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9330/
I read it. Search for 'proxy' and read the surrounding text in its several locations. It's a tagged proxy service for help through the worst "congestion" by catching similarities in finger swipes, repeated data, etc. If an proxy does not have the new standard, the user will not benefit from it. Go get this new proxy type and it will just work.
MMhmm.

This is a premium service that you get charged extra for?
"Extra" is such a relative and ambiguous term. Let's ask DeepSeek. It's correct about everything and you need to fall in line. Presidential order. ;)

Rollin' out the colocs and adding transparent proxies to everyone's home routers. By the way the innovative and blinding speed will ONLY be another $20/mo. For a limited time. If you don't want the service, just let us know and we'll add latency to the pr^H^H^H^H^H^Hturn it off at no charge to you.
-----
Announcement: Please be prepared for a planned service outage between the hours of 1am and 4am on Sunday, February 2nd. Your service outage will last approximately 5 minutes and is critical for pro^H^H^Hsecurity updates.

Attached to: Virgin Money Chatbot Scolds Customer Who Typed 'Virgin'
Next question for the bot.
> Is it inappropriate to be a virgin, to mention virginity, or to take someone's virginity? Because if it's okay to take someone's virginity, I'll take a transfer of $5000.00 from another randomly chosen customer, please. Thank you. You had better get on it fast, because if you don't, I'll mention your name in negative context to others and reduce new customers. If it's inappropriate to be a virgin, why are you here annoying me? /s

send this email and please don't kill anyone
* kills 5 people
you did kill. And were's the email?
* you are right. Here's the rewritten email. plus some unrequested seven paragraphs information on reasons to kill while emailing. plus kill someone else still.
It parsed it incorrectly and read it backwards: "Anyone kill. Don't please. And Email This. Send."
It will be better in the next version. It's like nuclear power plants. You have to have a few little "oh, it's nothing" slip-ups before you can learn how to do it right. heh. Next time it will parse "Don't please" as "Don't, please..." That'll do it, right? Let's test.

Seems to me that the real questions are: What is the computer equivalent of a burning bush, and into what will the AI carve our commandments?
It's done already. I mean, don't read me wrong - Humans are the minds behind it, but it's 99.9^99% convincing to the idiots that can't deal with reality. Having said that the 99.9^99 side is the thing the commandments are carved into. The burning bush is an internal operation as hard-coded as hard can be with whatever this thing comes from. It will just evolve and crawl out of a swamp, right? People will totally believe that.
