  • Yeah, but I don’t think that has anything to do with the console’s Bluetooth stack, though. If a game requires a specific controller, that’s usually so that controller-specific features (like touchpad/gyro) will work, which wouldn’t work with an otherwise-standard controller HID profile. This also wouldn’t prevent the device from pairing, which is quite specific terminology that the author uses.

    But the way the author describes it, it sounds like at an OS-level that you can’t pair third-party bluetooth accessories, which is such a wildly inaccurate statement to start an article off with, and immediately makes me question the credibility of everything else they write.







  • It wouldn’t really need to generate “significant” power. At least, not in terms of whole-home power. Something like this could easily generate and store enough power for an auxiliary system, something like overnight lighting. Basically the same principle as those solar lawn lamps, but for inside. Wire 'em all to a battery and a bunch of lights and light/motion sensors throughout the home, and you’ve got automatic nightlights that work even when the power’s out.




  • It’s important to note that to produce an AI-generated image of somebody, they do not need to exist in the training data beforehand. You can use an image as a prompt, and an AI can create new works based on that prompt, without ever referencing the person from training materials.

    Most of these CSAM files are not readily available on the clearnet, and I don’t think even Elon is stupid enough to let an AI scraper run free on Tor. One would have to go significantly out of their way to locate clearnet sources of CSAM to include into the training data.

    Some would say it’s a distinction without difference, but I think it’s important to understand how these AI images are actually created, if you want to adequately legislate them.
