    I suspect under international law if you aid or abet a crime against humanity that will be at least a #felony and will get you at least 10 to 20 years. As it should. And that would be mercy. If you are part of a #crime #against #humanity you never come out if I'm in charge. Never.

  17. Y'all remember back in the days ago when an #OpenAI model "escaped" and it was all the news for a minute?

    #Anthropic said "hold my beer" and admitted that its Red team had left access to the internet open, and allowed the models to commit felonies unsupervised.

    The model performed actions that if you or I did it, we'd be getting a visit from men with dark glasses...but with AI companies it's just "Whoopsies! Sorry about the infiltration, stealing your credentials, uploading malware and stuff. Our bad. Oopserdoodles! Hey, have you tried our chatbot, tho?"

    There must be a reckoning. Wealth should not shield one from consequence. If corporations are people, then the executives and board can stand trial when they break the law.

  26. The federal #statute underlying the charge makes it a #felony to destroy #evidence or transfer assets to keep the government from seizing them, or to tip someone off about an upcoming search or wiretap. It carries a penalty of up to 5 years in federal prison, a fine, or both.

    The act applies before, during or after a search. If the target of an investigation knows that a search or seizure is imminent, & that person acts to thwart it, they would fall under the statute, experts said.

    In early 2025, Atlanta resident Samuel Tunick was on his way home following a trip abroad. After landing in the US, #customs agents demanded access to his Pixel phone, which was running an alternative version of #Android called #GrapheneOS. Rather than hand over his data, Tunick used a clever feature of the software to delete everything. Now, he's facing federal charges.

    It occurs to me that once you take deliberate action to evade a mechanism that has been put in place to restrict access - particularly *your* access - to a computer system, you are now in "unauthorized access to a computer system" felony territory.

    US Title (?) 18, § 1030 - Fraud and related activity in connection with computers

    > (a) Whoever— ... (2) intentionally accesses a computer without authorization or exceeds
    > authorized access, and thereby obtains— ... (C) information from any protected computer;

    Scraping content would seem to qualify as obtaining information.

    "Lock 'em up!"
