Show Your ID to Use ChatGPT? How New York’s New AI Law Ends Online Anonymity
(www.gadgetreview.com)
Never scan your ID.
Is there a way to physically make it unscanable?
facism, the true bipartisan movement. look, sure voting democrat will be a net positive but democrats want to age gate your operating system, web, products, and track you and what you print.

When they show me their ID, I'll show them mine
I'll show you my ID if you show me your weights and training material.
I won't show them my ID. And the training material should be public in any case
the WWW is a 30+ year honey pot
Customer-service tools, technical or research systems, and certain internal corporate uses are exempt under Senate Bill S9051B.
Does technical systems mean API based inference providers are off the hook or not? Otherwise I guess it's time to break out the jailbreak prompts for the Chipotle chatbot.
Dumb as hell
oh no those poor, poor aiholes
It's social media today, AI tomorrow... Day after that it'll be something you actually care about.
The ai already took everything I cared about...
Only thing that would ever right these wrongs is nothing short of Sam altamnns head on a spike.
According to the headline, this is about chatgpt, I care about it and its users burning in hell, if that helps. They are not victims, and deserve no defense, it is a corrupt industry, owned by the worst people.
Yes, and tomorrow it'll be search engines and day after that it'll be all websites.
*Tomorrow it will be google and the day after that it will be facebook, instagram, and twitter, and the zombies who use those things will happily oblige.
The ID trash is already used in Australia to block under 16s from social media (although apparently it doesn't stop most of them)
Might convince some people to try out a local AI that runs entirely on one of their systems instead and is thus inherently private and can be uncensored. That is, if they ever hear about this being a possibility.
I consider myself an AI skeptic, but if one wants to use AI for whatever purpose (mine is curiosity - I don't use AI for anything other than experimentation), local AI is the way to go, in my opinion. You can run pretty impressive stuff on any halfway decent PC (I first started out with with hardware from 2017) - and if you have a powerful system (good CPU, 64 GB RAM, modern GPU with at least 12, better 16 GB of RAM), you can use a software like Strata to run AI models at impressive speeds that would normally require hardware that is out of reach for ordinary people.
Trouble is that's like 2 grand or more just to be able to run Strata.
I built my current system in early January 2025. I felt like prices were bleeding me dry back then (especially the GPU - I paid over 750€ for a slightly used 4070 Ti Super), but in retrospect, I lucked out with the timing, picked exactly the right moment for using the money I had saved up over a long period of time and am feeling extraordinarily privileged for having a really good machine right now. I recently needed a RAM upgrade anyway, which was extortionately expensive, but I felt like it's now or never. The machine wasn't built with AI as its main or even secondary purpose in mind - I only learned about Strata after the RAM upgrade.
That said, if you are using AI in e.g. a business context, Strata drastically lowers the barrier of entry for a serious local LLM. Two (more like three these days, I'd guess) grand isn't a large expense for anything but the smallest business (compared to the substantial five digit sum you'd have to spend without it), although it should be stressed that you can't really do many simultaneous sessions on a PC or server rack that just meets the minimum requirements for Strata - and it'll eat up most system resources as it's running, only leaving enough for very light other tasks, at least if you're trying to run the version of Qwen that does the most with your system.
AI glazers will happily just hand it over.
What is the meaning of a glazer? Someone who makes windows? I don't get it
That...doesn't help either. Someone who makes doughnuts?
*glazier = a person who cuts and sets glass
I, too, want everyone who uses AI to be on a list.
Sure, but that list should be public it's worse if it's only in the hands of corporations and the government
tattoo on the forehead, and a mouldy tarnish around any online avatar
Wasn't it always that way?
One of the reasons I've not used any of the AI systems is it seems to not allow me to use it anonymously

What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
