So is this what Mozilla meant when they announced a privacy push back in February

How's it compare to greenshot?

California has pushed out badly worded laws in the past. Here's a definition from the bill.

“Artificial intelligence model” means an engineered or machine-based system that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs that can influence physical or virtual environments and that may operate with varying levels of autonomy.

Tell me that wouldn't also apply to a microwave oven.

After several years of using Linux for work and school, I made the leap to daily driving linux on my personal computer. I stuck with it for two years. Hundreds of hours I sunk into an endless stream of inane troubleshooting. Linux preys on my desire to fix stuff and my insane belief that just one more change, suggested by just one more obscure forum post will fix the issue.

... the lack of an increment operation, no “continue” instruction, and array indices starting from 1 instead of 0. These differences can be jarring

Understatement

It depends. It will not affect many of them until 2025 when enterprise support for v2 ends and by then other arrangements and fixes might be. Brave in particular I would not worry yet.

Something I often see missing from discussion on privacy is that it's not always about you, the listener. Sometimes it's about protecting the most vulnerable people around you. For example, someone escaping from domestic violence might have a different view on how their information is protected. People struggle to see the value in privacy because it's not been a big problem for them personally or because they think it's hopeless. An introduction to privacy in my view is all about teaching empathy, hope, and advocating for others.

Once they have that goal in mind, you can tie in how open source helps empower people to take back their privacy

I wonder how good this model would be at an obfuscated code challenge.

This is all they really said IMO:

My tendency these days is to try to use the term “machine learning” rather than AI

The initial results showed something that should have been obvious to anyone: *More data beats more parameters.

That makes a lot of sense!

Purely speculation but, I wonder if this is a case of having some old, very low quality photos and trying to enhance and upscale them for the show.

*Ten things that will pad out my list of generic rpg book topics. I definitely didn't start with a clickable title and then fumble coming up with the ten things.
