That’s been exactly the case with multiple researchers and professors for the past decade. They’re not complying with disclosure laws.

Are you sure that you know how it works? They are legally required to disclose those relationships and payments received.

Not really. Sinclair broadcasting bought up most of them. Unfortunately all of the best investigative reporting is being relegated to bloggers and independent journalists.

We really need to bring back laws on limiting media ownership.

The Intercept revealed Reality Winner as their source to the government, and helped bury the Hunter Biden laptop story. Fuck the Intercept.

Incorrect. If they weren’t doing anything wrong, they wouldn’t be hiding supplemental income from and agreements with Chinese sources.

I don’t even oppose partnerships with China. I’m fairly pro-China. But it needs to be done out in the open, with proper procedure followed.

The press remained almost unanimously silent on the Assange persecution, the abductions & assassination of journalists by US allies, and the slaughter of journalists by Israel.

The press itself played a pivotal role in eliminating the free press.

ETA: Let me be clear- I don’t simply mean “eliminating the free press” in principle. I say it in the most literal sense. I mean literal wholesale slaughter of journalists by the west.

I’d be shocked if this isn’t another professor that’s been caught working with China. Been a lot of that being brought to light throughout academia.

Doesn’t look good within the context of everything else going on right now.

It’s a metaphor.

But also, the distinction may become irrelevant: https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-close-are-computers-to-automating-mathematical-reasoning-20200827/

They’re not replicating children’s art. It’s complex art that takes more study to produce. Children learn math, too. Calculators still help.

I don’t see mathematicians pitching a fit that lesser skilled people can use calculators to produce their results. I don’t understand the artists’ complaining that AI allows the lesser skilled people to produce an image of their ideas.

As always, the problem isn’t the tech. The problem is capitalism forcing people into competing with the tech.

I’m fairly certain they misled investors on their last earnings call. I noticed some banned accounts suddenly had their ban lifted right before the call, and then reapplied right after.

On the last investor call, they said they had a lot of returning users. This was after their election ban hammers, and prior to the Luigi ban fest.

Can’t wait to see how they try to spin things on the next one.

I didn’t mean for transparency or compliance with disclosure. I meant more secure for classified level communications.

Out of curiosity, what’s a better app for that use?

What about those of us who are related to the people who took the test, and never consented to the t&c? They have our data, too.

I hate this understatement so fucking much. No, those 15 million are just the people that directly gave their dna to 23 & me.

In reality, you only need to sample the genetic data for a small sample of the population to get the genetic information for the majority of the population. These people have relatives, and 23 & me has their data, too. They have most of ours.

Saying it just affects those 15 million is such an abysmal misunderstanding of genetics.

It’s better than nothing, but I think it’s more prudent to discuss it, write down the plan, and consult an immigration lawyer.

Stop being avoidant, and make plans for when you’re caught so you & your family know what the steps will be. Go ahead and contact a lawyer.

Respect.

I’m imagining a sci-fi spin on this where AI generators are used to keep AI crawlers in a loop, and they accidentally end up creating some unique AI culture or relationship in the process.
