Cool, now do US companies.

"But they're on OUR side"

[-] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

On one hand the US is giving China a little taste of their own medicine. On the other hand it‘s still blatant hypocrisy. As usual they only care about illegal activities when others do it but they will protect their own darlings with tooth and nail.

I love how spicy ironic this is coming from the US.

[-] holy_scroller@lemmy.zip 29 points 1 day ago

Pretty much. Most administrations historically try to use the US spying power, financial power, ect. prudently. Trump has taken every little advantage we have over other countries (especially financial institutions) and put the screws to everyone. A century of trust building pissed away for his personal gain and random grievances. Not saying no one else did this, but several magnitudes less.

[-] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 14 points 1 day ago

Pretty much this. It'll take a few decades but Trump has given the world a reason to diversify away from the US. He's kick started the decline.

Meanwhile, the US bond yield hits 5% for the first time since the housing crisis.

They just did it in the shadows

[-] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 15 points 1 day ago

I hope they set a precedent that later gets used against all the big tech companies.

The revolution will not be litigated.

Ah yes Huawei bad LG good.

I really wanted a Huawei phone couldn't believe they banned them, but i guess it's the same with the Chinese EV everyone around the world is buying over teslas but here we dont have the freedom to buy the car we want.

[-] kablez@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

Because American tech companies are perfect little angels lmao

“It’s about competition, not conspiracy. Innovation, ⁠not theft. Ordinary business dealings, not criminal conduct,” Brian Heberlig, one of a team of lawyers representing Huawei, said in his opening.

eep

Three it's-not-x-it's-ys in a row. I don't need to know a watermarking algorithm to know the author isn´t Brian Heberling.

Look, a bot might have written that text, but as part of the legal team responsible for the case he must own what he says. As long as he vets and stands behind all the statements he makes, it shouldn't matter whether the text comes from himself, another lawyer, an intern, or a bot.

In fact, in the US at least, only humans can be authors. Bots cannot.

The problem comes when people abdicate their responsibility to the bot. Then they let mistakes through that a human would never had done if they came up with the content themselves. For some content, an "oops" is OK. But in court, a blatant "oops" (like citing cases the AI hallucinated without checking them first) should be a career-ending mistake.

"It's not illegal." Hoo boy.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That's not what I said at all. Quite the opposite. Whether a thing is generated by AI or not is irrelevant, especially in court. What matters is that everything presented in court is backed by the legal team that is presenting it. If a lawyer ever uses "The AI did that" as an excuse for an error, they should be immediately disbarred.

If he had an AI write some text and he presents it, that's not a problem. The problem occurs when he views that as permission to not do his job correctly, because the bot did it for him.

Treat AI like an overly enthusiastic, book-smart intern. There is no ethical dilemma having that intern do research for the lead lawyer, but if the intern makes a fundamental mistake and the lead lawyer introduces it in court, the lawyer would face a reprimand, even though he didn't make the mistake, for not checking the Intern's work.

I'm observing "This guy used AI" and you reply with a multiple-paragraph comment arguing about the legal ramifications of a lawyer using generative AI. I'm just saying he used AI. I'm implying that's embarrassing, but I'm not calling for their disbarment; so I don´t know what motivated your detailed legal analysis.

Imagine if I observed, "Is that priest wearing only a Speedo-brand grape smuggler during his Sunday sermon?" and you started explaining it's actually legal for the priest to do that and here's the case law and here are the situations in which the priest would be putting himself in legal jeopardy by wearing a speedo. I mean, you're not wrong, but, like, what?

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You noticed that his text followed a common AI pattern. I replied, basically, with "So what? He's responsible for it regardless".

The legal stuff is relevant because he is a lawyer and is discussing it in the courtroom.

[-] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

You don't find it at all embarassing or noteworthy that a law firm likely charging hundreds if not thousands of dollars per billable hour is outputting chatbot dialogue?

I do. And I want to live in a world where that is professionally unacceptable.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I think those firms justify their bill rates by results, not by a literary analysis of their filings.

[-] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, and then they bill by the hour.

[-] Aatube@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

That’s not the point. Using AI generates much weaker rhetoric when lawyers’ job is to persuade. The AI voice is not good (and FWIW your last paragraph sounds that way ).

[-] dhork@lemmy.world -4 points 2 days ago

You're lucky this community doesn't explicitly list accusing humans of being AI as a reportable offense. I've been reported in other places for saying "beep boop"....

[-] Aatube@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

beep boop

that wasn’t the point either…

[-] chloroken@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 day ago

I can't imagine living like this. You see a handful of sentences and because you're too stupid to imagine someone actually writing it without AI, it must have been an LLM.

What if I told you this exact literary structure of "x not y" has been used since the advent of speech? And that pre-LLMs, you would not have batted an eye at this.

[-] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I don't get exercised about em-dashes, but this is two overlapping AI ticks and it feels unnatural, forced. That's three strikes.

Maybe you just don't have a very good eye for writing and so can't imagine others might.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

AI learned to write like that from somewhere, remember that.

[-] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

As someone who still stubbornly uses the em-dash, I am well aware of that!

That said, it's a feat of style-blindedness not to see that thereś a default writing style that is particular to LLMs, and it behooves readers to be able to recognize it (to avoid wasting their time reading slop), and writers to avoid it, depending on context, (to avoid being accused of writing slop).

[-] LocalAreaMan@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

This the death throws of an empire, desperately lashing out.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

i think you meant throes. as US has thier own spying companies, like MS, PALANTIR, anthropoic,,,etc.

[-] heavy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

Lot of companies need to go on trial like this.

[-] Sims@lemmy.ml -4 points 2 days ago

Notice that these ridiculous 'news' are NOT immediately pulled apart by 'The Guardian' - even when it is completely obvious.

The Guardian are NOT an unbiased 'lefty' news-paper, but just a standard western/UK for-profit oligarch owned propaganda outlet. They regurgitate what they are paid to say.

If their articles have absolutely NO relation to current geo-politics, or western power structure, we might get an almost unbiased article, but there are no 'journalism' or journalistic standards from that outlet - at all.

[-] Aatube@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

oligarch owned

literally false. the guardian is the only independent outlet out there that does not give profit to shareholders. they are known for their bylaws independent finances.

how do you want them to have it “pulled apart”? the #1 rule of writing says that if something is ridiculous, you don’t need to say so, not to mention news writing is not meant to editorialize.
