  • Yes, and that paragraph completely contradicts an earlier one.

    It might not look like it, but the person on the other side has the same tools you do. If they wanted the generic answer, they’d have it in a couple of seconds.

    They’re not asking you because they want you to “polish the text” from AI. They could also do that themselves.


  • Resproxies are not inherently illegal. Some are used for evading censorship by routing internet traffic through ordinary looking residential homes. AI companies, for example, increasingly rely on resproxies to scrape data from multiple places on the internet in one go to train their AI models.

    I “love” how that paragraph tries to paint AI companies use of hijacked residential TV’s to avoid being detected as they scrape the web for training data to steal as some kind of legitimate use of hijacked TV’s.

    Pro tip to Zack Whittaker, the Techcrunch author: There is NO legitimate use of someone else’s Internet connection without their knowledge and consent. Full stop.





  • I went digging around, found some videos (interviews of victims) and audio recordings (apparently recordings of phone calls interviewing victims), and the audio in a majority of those I checked are absolute garbage. Static, distortion, etc.

    I’m not even talking about redactions. You can tell the redactions because the audio completely cuts out for a moment (including the static). But the rest of the time, you can’t even understand a majority of the words. If this is normal for the DoJ, I’m surprised they ever convict anybody of anything.

    So, I’m suspicious of them adding the static to make it impossible to get anything useful out of these.
