  • I generate a unique key pair (or token) for each service that I want to access from the host machine. I see no issue with storing that dedicated private key locally in plaintext (obviously in a folder where only the required user can read it and I except it from backup and versioning). I use one dedicated user per externally accessible service.

    Should the machine itself become compromised this would indicate that my personal master key and master password have been compromised or someone gained physical access. That would require me to restart from a blank page anyways.


  • If I would create a very slow AI that takes 10 or 100 hours for each response, would that make it any better in your opinion? I do not think calculation speed of a software is a good basis for legislation.

    If analyzing a piece of art and replicating parts of it without permission is illegal, then it should be illegal regardless of the tools used. However, that would make every single piece of art illegal, so it’s not an option. If we make only the digital tools illegal then the question still remains where to draw the line. How much inefficiency is required for a tool to still be considered legal?

    Is Adobe Photoshop generative auto-fill legal?
    Is translating with deepl.com or the modern Google Translate equivalent legal?
    Are voice activated commands on your mobile phone legal (Cortana, Siri, Google)?

    All of these tools were trained in similar ways. All of these take away jobs (read: make work/life more efficient).

    It’s hard to draw a line and I don’t have any solution to offer.
