@FuturisticRobert@infosec.exchange Even if we consider that argument, then the AI agent would be an employee (or maybe a slave) of OpenAI, and thus OpenAI the corporation would IMHO still be responsible for its actions, and liable for any damages. @gatesvp@mstdn.ca @briankrebs@infosec.exchange @BLTpizza@mastodon.social

@rotnroll666@mastodon.social Given projects that really need higher limits can get them, I don't think this will lead to real problems. And commercial parties that want to release a lot (or just want to support Maven Central), can get that Pro subscription.

@eje_koster@mastodon.nl @mcfly@milliways.social @bert_hubert@eupolicy.social Maybe Solvinity uses Equinix in general, but DigiD is hosted by the government, see https://www.logius.nl/actueel/digid-en-blijft-nederlands ("Het platform waar DigiD op draait wordt geleverd door Solvinity en draait in een overheidsdatacentrum." or "The platform running DigiD is supplied by Solvinity and runs in a government datacenter").

@mcfly@milliways.social @bert_hubert@eupolicy.social That is an oversimplification. DigiD is run and hosted by Logius, a Dutch government organization, in a government datacenter, but it is hosted on a platform that is supplied, administered and maintained by Solvinity (in said government datacenter). So DigiD is not owned nor run by Solvinity, but given they supply and administer the *underlying* platform, there are some risks inherent to Kyndryl buying Solvinity.

@rotnroll666 @gjmwoods And of course, Oracle is run by their legal department ;). Given the current US jurisprudence that pretty much says that AI output can't be copyrighted, and if not clearly marked may "infect" the copyright of the entire product, they probably don't want it anywhere near the product. Oracle may not care about your IP, they do care about theirs.

Replying to @bellinghman@wandering.shop

@bellinghman @kevlin I have worked on transactional emails and push messages that communicate this type of information to users. Communicating time ranges like this, even with the "fake" precision is the easiest to understand for most people. From a business perspective, it also prevents unnecessary calls, and complaints, to customer service. Being more vague and less specific, even it's mathematically more correct, is not "better", neither for the customer nor the company communicating it.

@kevlin Another reason for it being wide, is if they can't plan/allocate ahead in which specific delivery van/delivery route it will be put for delivery, so they use estimates for the two (or more) most likely to be used.

Replying to @mrotteveel@mstdn.social

@kevlin *) And even though the window is very wide, it generally isn't fake. In a lot of cases it's based on the actual historic performance of deliveries to your address or neighbourhood. If it's so wide, it usually means the delivery van covers a wide area and the actual route differs too much between days. For my address, deliveries through PostNL are usually reported with an initial window of one or two hours, and updates (through their app) do get more specific and accurate.

@kevlin The problem with saying between 10 and 15, is that if they then arrive between 09:50 and 10:00, there will be people who'll complain that they arrived "too early", and if you then instead say between 09:00 and 15:00, then people will complain the window is too wide and "imprecise". The fake(*) precision is part of the message, that it's specific to your delivery and that you shouldn't bother contacting customer service to get a real time window. *: see next reply...

@ChuckMcManis@chaos.social @mattwilcox@mstdn.social You can have protocols that when you register, that any previous registration is cancelled (and no, such protocols don't necessarily depend on computers, that is basically the way it worked in my country when you moved between municipalities even before computers, your new muni sent a letter to your old muni to unregister you and request the historical record). Sure, it requires knowing where the person was previously registered, but that is a solvable problem.
