As a metaphor, this is like someone being thrown out of a house party for unacceptable behavior and still trying to either forcefully invade the house or destroy it in an act of revenge, feeling entitled to do anything they want. Quite typical for those who don't want to understand consent.

@mrmasterkeyboard@mastodon.social @lumi@snug.moe I have a feeling that the word "proprietary" simply has initial bad assumptions about its meaning. It's not only about big corporate-driven binaries sold commercially, but can also mean a project that's source-available on a private Git remote, and shared only with the creatures, who the owner agrees to share with, e.g. a cooperative of queer, furry, therian hackers, and no normies or companies can access it from the outside.

proprietary software
It might seem counterintuitive, but (apart from regulating such behavior with laws) this is actually a way to prevent such scraping - keeping an "All rights reserved" approach and licensing, and sharing code (as well as the access to private Git remotes) with only trusted creatures, both when it comes to consent and the security of their machines, so the code isn't leaked.
In other words: nobody can scrape something they can't see in the first place.

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange Primarily depends if the AI note taker is already trained to recognise company-wide and project-wide terminology and can understand the context that employees understand, and if I can be sure it will capture and highlight the important parts, that I myself would have missed when taking manual notes.
Then it's the matter of having the model secured, so it doesn't leave the company's infrastructure, and can be constantly trained with new data for improvements.
If these can't be satisfied, IMHO there's no point in using it, and manual notes win.

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems For some of us, who already use modern, heavy browsers without GPU acceleration, the difference between some sites is blatantly visible. If it turns my fan into a working jet engine just to render some text, which was possible tens of years ago, I'll pass.
Though I can sense opposite correlation between those who can afford grade-A gaming/development computers and those who use old ones and/or CPU rendering.

Without metaphors, I find it hard to understand how a utility that can act in unpredictable ways can have no sandbox measures in the first place imposed by the operator.
Not everyone has a threat model where an agent could attempt using CPU bugs to escape a Xen VM, but a mere QEMU VM with a shared folder, with only the access to the important data per project, would be a step in the right direction.

who uses some free back-alley software, are you poor or something?
I do, I might be poor, and I live my life like I want - if such people have a problem with me being "too poor", it's a good idea to never interact with them.
