Because #Codeberg Pages is under indefinite development, and Microsoft et al. more evil by the day, I've updated this Github Pages to Codeberg tutorial: arscyni.cc/file/codeberg.html

It simply offloads the hosting to statichost.eu whose founder was kind enough to answer even trivial questions.

“Suno, for those of you not familiar, is an #AI #SongGenerator: enter a text prompt (such as “a jazz, reggae, EDM pop song about my imagination”) and a song comes back. Like many #GenerativeAI companies, it is also being sued by all and sundry for ingesting #copyrighted #material. The parties in the suit — including major labels and the #RIAA — don’t have a smoking gun, since they can’t directly peek at Suno’s #TrainingData. But they have managed to generate some suspiciously similar-sounding AI generated materials, #mimicking (among others) “Johnny B. Goode,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and Jason Derulo’s habit of singing his own name.

#Suno essentially admits these songs were #regurgitated from #copyrighted source material, but it says such use was legal. “It is no secret that the tens of millions of #recordings that Suno’s model was trained on presumably included recordings whose rights are owned by the Plaintiffs in this case,” it says in its own legal filing. Whether AI training data constitutes fair use is a common but unsettled legal argument, and the plaintiffs contend Suno still amounts to “pervasive #illegal #copying” of artists’ works.”

British journalist Carole #Cadwalladr who exposed #CambridgeAnalytica is on the #DailyShow with Jon Stewart explaining that what tech bros are doing right now with our data is theft and therefore illegal.

This is not news, but the fact our governments are not defending us and are actually working in collaboration with the tech bros should be making the alarm bells go off in all are heads.

We have to act now.

The hard-working folk of the Australian Signals Directorate, a department that rarely gets mentioned (and they like it that way) has completed a major coup ASD against the Russian group who snatched millions of records from Australia's Medibank health insurance provider a couple of years ago.

With the help of the UK and US, they identified the major players, located the servers, and wiped out 250 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘺𝘵𝘦𝘴 of stolen data; the Australian info, and that of many more organisations.

All gone, bye-bye. 😂

The people who ran the show went out for a drink (Russian style, so they got blotto), and while they were in no position to respond, the ASD snuck in to their system and did the deed. The show runners are now sanctioned and on catch-and-keep lists.

Well done, everybody!

With Elon the #oligarch getting full access to Treasury systems, his goons now have access to our SSN and bank details that we provide to IRS for tax refunds and payments, all without our consent. Musk is not a Senate-confirmed government official. Can we all get together and sue him for stealing our sensitive financial data? A class action law suit with 100+ million Americans.

Any #lawyers on here who can weigh on the feasibility?
