Google Sues Men Who Weaponized DMCA Notices to Crush Competition * TorrentFreak
Two men who allegedly bombarded Google with fraudulent DMCA takedown notices targeting up to 620,000 URLs are being sued by Google.
Google goes on to highlight its position as a major intermediary that processes DMCA notices targeting 600 million URLs every year, and the requirement under the DMCA to remove or disable content notified as allegedly infringing. If the company fails to act expeditiously once in receipt of a DMCA notice that complies with the statutory requirements, the company risks losing its safe harbor protection, Google notes.
That last line explains why DMCA enforcement on YouTube is such a criminally unfair mess. Not surprised it’s the legislators fault.

Most of the legislators are almost Tazz’s age and would be better at regulating wagon wheel builders than internet companies. Also why can’t those Viet Cong assholes just stop abusing the system?

The ALPHV/BlackCat ransomware operation has taken extortion to a new level by filing a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission complaint against one of their alleged victims for not complying with the four-day rule to disclose a cyberattack.

Omegle is dead before I ever had a chance to try it.
Also this dude can shred.

I hope he removed the guts first. Even a drill-stop would not have helped.

I guess he never opened it so he didn’t void the warranty.

Speed holes!

He may have changed the airflow pattern so the CPU will even run hotter.

Dumbass would have baked the fan if he knew what he was doing.

Dunno where this goes:

This openai thing is weird. Whoever did it had no support from the investors and not they are trying to put things back the way it was. Would be funny if next week Altman was back in and the board out on their ass.

I obviously haven’t read the company by-laws but I’d be surprised if they managed to get control. Seems from everything I’ve read including your link that he set it up for the board to operate like it did. There might be an injunction but it would take a long while to play out in court I think.
But they presumably aren’t going to be able to spin up a new company and have it be competitive / reach parity with OpenAI overnight either. And then there will probably be accusations of IP theft and contract breach etc that might also play out in the courts.

Usually the shareholders can fire the board though so we will see. Definitely asshole like Lob will get rich on this one.

Dunno how reliable this is but the Verge is pretty good usually I think (unless I’m mixing them up with another tech news source).
OpenAI board in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO
Altman is “ambivalent” and wants governance changes.
-
Three CEOs in three days and probably a bunch more resignations once Altman sets up an alternative.
The board clearly isn’t motivated by this metric but they were recently valued at 80+ billion. Fascinating to watch such a celebrated success story just fall apart.
-
I don’t know but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a big lawsuit trying to settle how the board must act in such cases? What if they believe course A is dangerous for society but the one that makes most money for it’s shareholders? I think the board was there to placate AI worriers and now they maybe did what they think they were supposed to do, but they weren’t really.

Lol Microsoft hired Altman to lead MS’s new advanced AI research team
