I got pulled over for speeding once, all I did was lean out the window and say, hey officer, what gives? Everyone else was going the same speed as me? He said yeah you're right, have a good one!

Actually that didn't happen because that's not the way the world works.


How did the officer have the legal right to pull you over? Why, because you broke the law as it is codified. Google haven't codified anything, and actively allow apps to do what they selectively disallow on only certain apps.

I'm surprised you can't see the difference!


I can't see the difference either because it makes no sense.

First, they only need probable cause to pull you over, you don't actually have to have broken the law. So the analogy is pretty broken, because the police already can do the thing you don't want google doing :). It's also civil vs criminal, so ...

Second, the law is codified, why do you think it was taken down?

Google received a trademark complaint. A complaint someone broke the law. This is like going down to the police station and filing a complaint.

As for "actively allow", that's silly. They aren't ignoring trademark complaints about the others, they just didn't get any. I'm sure if someone filed complaints, they'd take those down too.


So Apple are wilfully breaking trademark law? Give me a break...


I can confirm this as true. I need to get out of this place.


You're right. I have 128k of RAM.


My brain computes things. So by definition, it is a computer. QED


Windows 10 is malware though.

Bahahaahhahahahaha. O-our chatbot got taken advantage of! We were completely blind that this could possibly happen! But they're the worst of humanity, the people that found an exploit not the engineers who are incapable of implementing even simple safeguards!!


Sounds easy! So what does your plan to implement "simple safeguards" for a chatbot on Twitter look like?


For starter: penalizing generated phrases with obscene words, "hate", "kill", "Hilter" and a few other.


"I really hate Hitler. If he were alive today, I'd kill him."

Want to give a reason that should be a heavily penalized phrase?


It's safer to just avoid Hitler altogether.


Have you been living under a rock?....


I didn't catch it on HN, and I pretty much only check the boardgames subreddit on reddit now, so yeah, I guess that qualifies as living under a rock.


Is the vulnerability they're talking about just having her repeat what you tell her to say? Because that's some oversight....


No joke. Did they really not see what happened to Coca-Cola?

And 4chan itself is just a clone of a Japanese imageboard, 2ch.


*2chan, also known as Futaba Channel. Futaba is a "clone" of 2ch with support for images.
