If so, it is time to start crafting some cool-ass laws. What a time to be a state legislator or an AG in a blue state. The Supreme Court just said you no longer have a boss. It's the last day of school, Democratic state majorities and AGs! Time to abuse some power.

The Supreme Court's conservative supermajority just took away lower courts' single most powerful tool for reining in the Trump administration's lawless excesses, stripping them of authority to issue universal injunctions that block illegal policies nationwide. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

No this is specifically the MCP server for SQLite.

Granted, I know almost nothing about MCP, but for any other kind of project, this would seem like poor cricket.

That, I suspect, will be hotly contested. Other cases in progress do argue on the outputs. And we have nothing yet about model owners' responsibility for preventing copyright infringement by users, do we? What we have is prevention for their own liability.

On the non-destructive scanning point: this video is 12 years old and I'm still waiting for this to become a reality at scale. Note that the 250 pages/min absolute wrecks the Google Books non-destructive scanner rate of 1000 pages/hr.

Therefore the digitization of the legally-obtained books was totally fine. Although the ruling suggests that the destruction of the original matters, since "one replaced the other."

Another interesting note from this ruling: it codifies the legality of ripping your physical media.
"Storage and searchability are not creative properties of the copyrighted work itself but physical properties of the frame around the work or informational properties about the work."

The plaintiffs specifically did not focus on the output of Anthropic's models, but on its input. It is asserted that Anthropic's models have not reproduced authors' works in part or in whole as output. If this were ever to be disproven, a major pillar of the ruling disappears.

Pretty disgustingly wasteful, but this mechanism is how books commonly get digitized. There is no production-scale non-destructive book scanner, as far as I know.
The fair use ruling in this case boils down to, as I read it, the "transformative" nature of processing the books for training.

And this in large part why, despite there being "competition" in security tooling, awful products survive. The "value" is entirely in the reputation of the product, not its function, which few can understand and even fewer can evaluate.

Nah, my man has a track record. These exotic attacks are great research, but they are rarely executed in the wild—thinking about the PWA phishing research in particular.
What's more, I believe a child process of Chrome would be subject to sandboxing and of less value than the Explorer-based attack.

Crazy that the operators of a cryptocurrency wallet service wouldn't want to shut down all crime on their platform.

One of the most terrifying parts of a theology where the "chosen" inherit paradise is that the true believers are not playing the same game as everyone else. In fact, their game allows setting fire to the board.
