  • Tesla reaches settlement in autopilot death case of Apple engineer

    ... my fsd trial was trurned off after 20m...
    It generally works yet seems to hit the brakes for the occasional low bridge and off ramp speed reduction signs...
    Auto wipers too have been problematic.
    There is a lot to like about the cars, however with anything software caution is advised...

    Leave The World Behind has a related scene: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TCXvkaUyzM

  • Apple licenses millions of Shutterstock images to train its AI models

    Further to that, as I read Apple's iOS10 disclosures, Apple did say they may use other data from us for AI training, but anonymized with differential privacy so it could no longer be connected to us as personal data.
    What does this mean for human content creators...?  Is there also a legal argument for moral rights requiring credit where credit is due ?


    "The preserving of the integrity of the work allows the author to object to alteration, distortion, or mutilation of the work that is "prejudicial to the author's honor or reputation". Anything else that may detract from the artist's relationship with the work even after it leaves the artist's possession or ownership may bring these moral rights into play."

    "Even if an artist has assigned his or her copyright rights to a work to a third party, he or she still maintains the moral rights to the work"

    Does this create as well an embedded risk for anyone using or relying on AI as a basis for derivative work ?

    Lawyers start your engines...

    ... when Photos was introduced shortly after Steve Jobs died it 'featured' always on image tagging and iCloud sync vs the 2' usb cable on the desk ...
    ... would this also apply to all the contact data customers sync which might include headshots without the contact's knowledge or permission ...?

  • Google could charge Apple users for AI tools in iOS 18

    ... and so to me one fundamental ask is where is all this AI 'intelligence' (for profit) coming from ...?

    This red flag went up with the first post Steve Jobs introduction of Photos where all images were to be scanned, tagged and referenced at a customer's computer time and expense and then remotely updated to other devices (vs the 2' USB cable on a desk) via Apple servers - for most in a foreign jurisdiction...

    This all under a guise of improving on iPhoto despite the many complaints and loss of Aperture, iWeb and other elegant synchronized productive software that seemed more about a 'bicycle for the mind' than 'all roads lead to our data servers' sync requirement... Does ANY core 'free' Apple software come without a privacy warning now ?

    And then there are the 'Learn from this App' Siri settings - granularly on by default with no global off privacy setting - every new app download requires follow up to turn this off...

    Who owns and deserves to be paid for AI...?  Lawyers start your engines...?

    How many are disclosing their valuable IP via gmail, iCloud or other online publication that may be missing the bigger picture...? 

    '... but it's free...' will time tell...?

    Has the mac changed from a bicycle to a dragnet for the mind...?
