A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
But the main result is achieved anyway, right? The picture that the system tried to download did not make it into the training set.
Unless the “this sort of obstruction will be fixed” part means the image is downloaded anyway. This is the weakest sort of DRM.
