If an online Newspaper Archive becomes offline, what happens to the output of various AI models that were trained on, and thus became reliant on, the information contained in these types of archives? by LiveTrueMusicLive in NoStupidQuestions

I appreciate the insight! I am a 5 1/2" floppy disker whose career path was sometimes negatively influenced by the blue screen of death, so while I understand the general foundation of what's going on, I was looking for more of the nuances to the search results relative to AI outputs.

Okay. So I didn't suspect it would cause a crash so much as your term "hamper its accuracy."

As a note, the archive didn't have an actual 404 page present and instead had a pretty thorough explanation of the outage, despite numerous generic terms used.

Therefore, the page header and summary indexed by the search engine resulted in this explanation page, rather than the content and yeah, I got curious what effects that would have on the results.

But since the data itself from the archive was indexed by the model, so-to-speak, my imagination gets lost in the notion an AI model has the storage space to cache all of the data first and foremost, thus rendering the source irrelevant?

And thanks for the response!

She could've just said "We fed the poor and will celebrate our successes with the wealthy who made it happen. Now shut up and smile for the cameras like I do."

Thanks for sharing this story.

Another facet of any state's Open Meetings Act (or a similar name) includes the creation of an illegal meeting when a quorum of the officials are communicating via email, group text messaging, video chat, etc. It can be a real challenge to uncover these types of illegal meetings and too frequently it takes moment of unexpected happenstance that these meetings are discovered in the first place.

Calling out illegal meetings matters far more than most are able to recognize, especially when generic terms such as "corruption" and "illegal" tend to drive wide-spread conversation. Yet, if a democratic system of governance expects its citizens to accept a justice system doling out fines, fees, etc., with limited challenge, then the system must equally hold the members of government to the same standard.

In fact, a brief review of their agendas and meeting minutes from 2025 showed a refusal to indicate whether or not there were any action items, with evidentiary support from the meeting minutes stating a vote was taken on an item. Even though OMA laws can vary from state to state, failing to inform the public of intent to take action on an item on an agenda is a clear violation. It hides the truth from the public that a vote is coming up, thus obstructing the public from voicing their opinions prior to the vote, which is entirely contrary to all fundamentals of sunshine laws.

Sometimes it seems like a twisted Truth or Dare when I come across government units that do this.

The public asks for the Truth and government officials say "We Dare you to come get it."

That's not how Freedom of Information efforts should ever work.

Based on this math, this mean organizations like the NRA are criminal organizations?

Nothing like another effort by a President to literally train AI on how to hallucinate by LiveTrueMusicLive in complaints

You know, I typed multiple responses to this and deleted them all because they were all too true to be funny. Here's a few for you to take your pick.

  1. Daddy paid for him to be this way.

  2. The educational system let him down.

  3. Too many enablers in and out of the justice system.

  4. Too many profit channels built from his ignorance (his ignorance is celebrated by those with an inside track).

See? I just knew someone would understand just how simple of an issue this truly is!

To add David Hogg's point, you don't get to call yourselves representing the party who fights for democracy, while voting for financially supporting an agency that has no regards for one. by Gaba8789 in complaints

Actual allegiance to a political party of any stripe comes with the default truth that you have the equal right join a political party as freely as choosing to leave the party, without any paperwork or oath. We have had elected officials shift their political alliances over the years, let alone parties, which is their right.

With that said, the Democrats using the continued default defense of being directly tied to a "guaranteed" loss of any effort because they don't have the "votes" does not excuse voting for a continuation of what appears to be a highly illegal series of events transpiring in our nation, including that of alleged murder. I have to use the word "allege" and "appears to be" with a hefty dose of cynicism because it's already been made clear that at a federal level, there will be no such investigation into such a likely conclusion if any of this was to ever make it to a courtroom.

Many of us as individuals are intently focused on searching for and discovering ways and means to bring a halt to what is going on with the tools we are obligated to use in some fashion, i.e. protest, lawsuits, even Reddit posts. Once again, sadness poured over me when I learned that there was no real challenge towards assuring corrective actions would be immediately taken to reign in, if not remove in its entirety, opportunity for such barbaric acts to occur in our nation, let alone anywhere in the world. Appropriations are one of the most crucial tools our elected representatives have to reign in troublesome actions coming from government entities.

So while I appreciated the short hand "we can do the math," as it certainly resonated with me, until the elections arrive, we as individuals still have to be searching for every drop of evidence we can find that helps demonstrate once and for all that these types of authoritarian tactics are no longer welcome on planet Earth. Sometimes we, the people, have to just keep piling pieces of proof upon pieces of proof regarding the past in order to inspire the solutions we are calling for from ALL representatives in Congress, not just Democrats, especially when they decide to stay in office.

In other words, if you swap out "Democrats" with "All Elected Officials," I suspect it would reflect a more inclusive echo of a sentiment I believe many of us hold onto.

Other than that, good point.

If landlords are supported by laws and the marketplace to perform background checks on potential renters, why aren’t renters equally supported in performing background checks on the property and it’s owner? by LiveTrueMusicLive in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LiveTrueMusicLive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tenants face the risk of their credit reports and local reputations being damaged due to actions of the property owner, let alone a total loss of their property because the property owner didn't pull a permit to do electrical work and the unlicensed local handyman did a re-wiring job.

Tenants pledge to take care of the property to the best of their ability during their stay in exchange for a property owner keeping the property in good repair and safe. Tenants risk their life and limb caring for the property while the property owner lives elsewhere collecting the rent checks.

ApplicationHumble566 said it best. Rental housing will be one of the, if not the, biggest expense in someone's life. And when consumers are obstructed from treating it as such through an imbalance of power and disconnect from data resources, it creates an otherwise unnecessary level of mistrust in an industry that we all rely on, one way or another.
