while I think this is a fun idea -- we are in such a dystopian timeline that I fear you will end up being prosecuted under a digital equivalent of various laws like "why did you attack the intruder instead of fleeing" or "you can't simply remove a squatter because its your house, therefore you get an assault charge."
A kind of "they found this code, therefore you have a duty not to poison their model as they take it." Meanwhile if I scrape a website and discover data I'm not supposed to see (e.g. bank details being publicly visible) then I will go to jail for pointing it out. :(
I think if we're at the point where posting deliberate mistakes to poison training data is considered a crime, we would be far far far down the path of authoritarian corporate regulatory capture, much farther than we are now (fortunately).
Look, I get the fantasy of someday pulling out my musket^W ar15 and rushing downstairs to blow away my wife^W an evil intruder, but, like, we live in a society. And it has a lot of benefits, but it does mean you don't get to be "king of your castle" any more.
Living in a country with hundreds of millions of other civilians or a city with tens of thousands means compromising what you're allowed to do when it affects other people.
There's a reason we have attractive nuisance laws and you aren't allowed to put a slide on your yard that electrocutes anyone who touches it.
None of this, of course, applies to "poisoning" llms, that's whatever. But all your examples involved actual humans being attacked, not some database.
Thanks that was the term I was looking for "attractive nuisance". I wouldn't be surprised if a tech company could make that case -- this user caused us tangible harm and cost (training, poisoned models) and left their data out for us to consume. Its the equivalent of putting poison candy on a park table your honor!
That reminds me of the protagonist of Charles Stross's novel "Accelerando", a prolific inventor who is accused by the IRS to have caused millions of losses because he releases all his ideas in the public domain instead of profiting from them and paying taxes on such profits.
Audio is also great for busy people. Doing chores, driving, shopping, at the gym, even at work depending on your job. A lot of video content is mostly just audio anyway with either a person's face or filler images anyway. Audio and audio-heavy video is a way to get information or entertainment if you don't feel like you have the time to sit down and read.
Certain size/watt combos are still available for things like appliances and nightlights, but I think that includes 20W E26/A-something bulbs, and the bulbs for plug-in night lights. I can still find them on the Home Depot and some other places. No idea about quality but I still prefer how they look. There are so many other horrible energy efficiency problems with heating my home that the inefficiency of a few incandescents in key places doesn't bother me in comparison to the enjoyment I get from the nice light.
I have a theory that they're bad for humans too. I think the same is true for computer screens too. Something about the flickering and the "unnatural" color spectrum messes with people's heads (anecdotal/subjective). Maybe our brains do extra processing work that detracts from other systems.
Cost? Apple stuff is expensive and unaffordable or inaccessible to a lot of the world. Google'd Android is the only option if you can't shell out for an iPhone (assuming you don't want to buy an unsupported 5+ year old device second/third-hand).
Does Fastmail have any clout in Europe? I've been a customer for the better part of a decade (with my own domain name) and I've never had a mail delivery issue.
I was going to suggest Fastmail too. I don't know about Europe in particular but have been a very happy Fastmail customer for several years, running mail for 2 small corporations plus personal, zero problems ever.
Other types of ships also had castles, such as the carrack and galleon. They are super tall and ungainly looking compared to modern ships, even those from the 19th and 18th centuries.
I came across this medievalists site the other day in a search and quickly realized it's SEO slop. Unsurprising that they are branching out into niche topics now that more typical areas (food, home improvement, software, etc) are becoming saturated.
