This is A/B testing. Lego owns bricklink, so they shutter it in a few countries, see how it impacts sales, decide from there

It's not delisted. Anna's Archive is huge. The fact that Google participates in an entirely voluntary transparency log that gives you this information should illustrate to you where they stand on the issue of their needing to be compliant to the DMCA. It isn't clear to me why online communities constantly invent fan fiction of evil enemies when organizations merely comply with a reasonable interpretation of the law of the land they are incorporated in.

Here in Germany its invisible deleted, and the process handle by a private company

That's just a diffusion model (Stable Diffusion 1.5) with a custom encoder that uses CSI measurements as input. So apparently the answer is it's all hallucinated.
Right but it’s hallucinating the right colours which to me feels like some data is leaking somewhere. Because no way wifi sees colours
So, uh, game cartridges?
pftburger commented on AI promised efficiency. Instead, it's making us work harder afterburnout.co/p/ai-prom... · Posted by u/mooreds
AI efficiency gains don’t benefit employees, they benefit _employers_, who get more output from the same salary.
When you’re salaried, you’re selling 8 hours of time, not units of work. AI that makes you 20% faster doesn’t mean you work 20% fewer hours or get a 20% raise. It means your employer gets 20% more value from the same labor cost.
Marx: workers sell their capacity to work for a fixed period, and any productivity improvements within that time become surplus value captured by capital.
AI tools are just the latest mechanism for extracting more output from the same wage. The real issue isn’t the technology—it’s that employees can’t capture gains from their own efficiency improvements. Until compensation models shift from time-based to outcome-based, every productivity breakthrough just makes us more profitable to employ, not more prosperous ourselves.
It’s the Industrial Revolution all over again and we’re the Luddites
Come on. It’s in BrowserMCP on a users machine. Capture is not testing for this and that’s fine

Oh come on… if you’re running a shell executing MCP, then this is fair game.
It’s like saying the PC is vulnerable because people leave their passwords on post it notes on the screen.
Ok wait, apple said that and then made better auth.
Nevermind, continue
