The ransomware group has a stupid business plan there. A city govt isn't gonna pay for the data. There's no guarantee all copies would be deleted if they pay, and the govt suffers no real consequences if they just do nothing. If they paid, it would just make them an attractive target for further attacks; you know they aren't going to fix all their security vulnerabilities. And then they tried to auction the data... But they have to actually release it eventually otherwise the ransom is toothless, so potential buyers just have to wait for it to get released for free, which is what happened.
The same meal again? Crazy talk
Because the devout Catholics all know Jesus was definitely born in December? Lol
Well I put on some weight lately I guess
It's the family tree
That would be macho Pichu
You mean after they drained the land of its life force, killing all the plants, then murdering a bunch of villagers who were upset that they were told lies by Shinra? Yeah, who knew that place would be worse off after they left.
As a general intelligence tool yeah it's not good. But for gemerating art or replicating voices, it's much more usable, especially when you can spend some time tweaking it a bit or making small changes to the output to get close enough to what you want. If that process is cheaper than hiring real people for the job (or if it's faster) that's going to be a huge motivator for producers to cut jobs.
I think the point is not everyone is you and some people don't mind the heat
Rock!
Do they hit people with the ladder if they don't buy?
