I'm confident that ICE and other US law enforcement agencies already have access to it. There is no presumption of privacy on anything you enter into any cloud-based LLM like ChatGPT, or even any search engine.
The consequences are already there and have been for like 15 years.
I think this should piss off a lot of people. Instead of doing something, they opted to do nothing, and now they're exploiting the tragedy as a PR opportunity. They're trying to shape their public image as an all-powerful arbiter. Worship the AI, or they will allow death to come to you and your family.
Or perhaps this is all just rage bait, to get us talking about this piece of shit company, to postpone the inevitable bursting of the AI bubble.
Edit: This is a sales pitch from OpenAI to the RCMP, with them saying they'll sell police forces an intelligence feed. It just comes across as horribly tone deaf and is problematic for so many reasons.
I like that this looks like OG Steam.
DirectX 5, that brings back some memories lol. That's when 3D started to get serious and it felt like there was a lot of innovation happening quickly (competition with 3dfx's Glide?).
I'm confident someone has done a price model comparing doing these "fake sales" vs. "real sales" vs. "no sales", ergo it is possible to quantify the damages. Smart/big businesses don't make decisions without doing the math first and then testing the price strategy, and that diligence could have been used against them to determine damages.
I'm late to the party here, but did you consider just paying for Mattermost? If it meets your needs, and your organization has 250 people, the cost for licensing is going to be relatively small compared to your IT budget (right?). They have "contact us" pricing, which means you can negotiate it.
This is the new horseracing. Call OLG
As others said, spin down the drives when they're not in use. Make sure power saving is enabled on the drives and tune them to spin down after some appropriate amount of time. (hdparm lets you customize it on Linux)
Consider also sleeping the NAS when not in use. You can try using Wake-on-LAN to remotely wake it up when you need to use it. Saves on electricity and heat! You could also sleep it on a schedule, in case you need to be online for backups to run at particular times.
Licensing representation matters
It doesn't, because they're the copyright owners. Think of their software as dual licensed: They run it themselves under a proprietary license, under which they reserve all rights. That has nothing to do with the AGPL version that they license to you. The AGPL doesn't take away the rights they have as copyright owners, nor does it preclude dual licensing.
(Are you a bot? Your reply is written like ChatGPT, and it has that self-defeating logic that ChatGPT has sometimes.... eg. you wrote that you disagree with me, but then parroted the exact thing that I said.)
This is flat out wrong. If you're the copyright owner, you're not licensing the code to yourself. The AGPL is the license under which they're making the open source version available to YOU. The version they run themselves is proprietary.
42 minute long video on dishwashers is a hard sell, life is too short to spend that much time on this
I have some bad news for you. Like 90% of stories are planted and fed to journalists as part of PR campaigns.
