Security nerds have launched a Gofundme to buy back securityfocus.com, a domain that hosted the Bugtraq site and more than 120,000 links from the National Vulnerability Database that are now dead.@briankrebs publicly declaring a campaign to buy the domain back seems like a great way to make the price go up.

Writers: Generative AI models were built on our stolen works, are deeply unethical, and risk devaluing our entire profession.@jamesthomson writers and artists have been dealing with their craft being devalued for an incredibly long time, so they get it. Developers have never really had to deal with that, and generally speaking a lot of developers look down upon anyone not in tech, so they're just not going to trust what non tech people say. Developers are also, generally speaking, really bad at thinking about labor, and organizing. I've spoken to countless developers who said they'd never join a union, even if it was an option.

I think it's interesting how software engineers are (among?) the most eager working class group to replace themselves with LLMs.@vie I'm sure I don't truly know, but I think that it's essentially a form of short sighted eagerness, combined with imposter syndrome. They feel like they're able to do things they could not do before, and they want to be the first/most eager to do it because they feel like that will keep their job secure. But really, if your whole job can be automated with an LLM what incentive is there to keep you? What value are you providing if you don't understand what the code being produced does?

I'm gonna scream@packetcat I thought you were making fun of them maybe trying to justify the energy usage of LLMS but that's a direct quote and holy shit that is so sociopathic. Why would anyone write that.

Dear f***ing lord!@campuscodi They've already factored in the cost of government enforcement. I don't have the exact numbers, but they calculated that at most they'd lose something like 10% of the revenue from the scam ads due to enforcement, so it was worth it to keep allowing them.
I'm not saying that governments shouldn't crack down on this, but I don't think we can expect enforcement to make a difference until laws are changed that make the enforcement actually meaningful, until then they'll keep exposing their users to scams, and they'll keep profiting, while paying a small enforcement tax.

Feds have created a drone no fly zone that will stop people from filming ICE.@ianturton @josephcox no, they don't need to predefine their route. Instead they can just punish you for flying a drone if they're nearby.
