@zazzoo @gnomeoffender Also Peterborough.
Also shenanigans reported in Quinte.

Edited to add link: "Liberal candidate Chris Malette says someone has purchased several website addresses featuring his name, addresses like “chrismalette.ca” and ‘votechrismalette.ca.”
But voters clicking on those websites were directed to Conservative candidate Ryan Williams’s official website."

“It’s cheating, if you get caught”

Eventually cheating in games will evolve to become undetectable and games will have to pivot to pattern recognition server-side anti-cheat, or PRSSAC for short.

Imagine software that reads the graphic frame buffer and feeds that to an input simulator with human-like behavior.

#Poker #Cheaters Allegedly Use Tiny Hidden #Cameras to Spot Dealt Cards

Several recent schemes were uncovered involving poker players at #casinos allegedly using miniature cameras, concealed in personal electronics, to spot cards. Should players everywhere be concerned?

Performance Enhancing AI

In my opinion, performance enhancing AI is exactly like performance enhancing drugs in sports. Performance enhancing AI should be banned in the fine arts when it comes to prizing.

Why? Because the jobs that pay in the fine arts are coveted by their law abiding practitioners. When dull, boring jobs are eliminated, usually no one bats an eye or cries. But when artists, writers and performers etc. are replaced, the many who have worked their lives to get to these positions, will be sad and distraught. These coveted jobs should not be taken by machines. Even if the machines are helped by humans and thus have some human content. And it’s unfair for a human to take credit for a machine’s work even if the human did part of the work.

I know the horse is out of the stable already and how can we retroactively enforce adherence to whatever laws we make? We can try, just as they did in sports, to catch the cheaters. I believe we can do a half decent job. Sure there are examples in sport of cheaters winning here and there. Well we can catch them eventually and enforce rules much after the fact.

I am not necessarily saying goodbye to all works with performance enhancing AI. I’m just saying take them out of all awards and have all works honestly listing any and all AI used in its creation. I think we like to support artists. Not the intellectual abilities of machines and artists. Not the intellectual abilities of machines. Give consumers the opportunity to choose what they support. I believe most will eventually support the pure artists. Especially when AI is coming after their own coveted jobs.

Right now AI is being considered for making book covers. Artists are expensive and indie book writers are trying to keep costs down.

Right now starving artists are tempted to write their grant applications, a prospectus for an art show or just a brief biography of themselves with AI. Proper editing is expensive.

To both of these I say don’t do it. AI is currently angling for both positions. Notice how work for both fine arts is disappearing if you do this.

Even such a “minor” use of AI should have to be acknowledged up front and can be reason enough to ban you from awards.

AI will eventually be coming for all the other jobs, too. Yes, science, even research and theorizing can be done by AI in my belief. Computer Science is part of that. No coveted job is safe with AI. I say, legislate things so coveted jobs are still mostly done by humans.

Nothing to see here, just another underhanded #Conservative #powergrab obtained through secretive consolidation of right wing parties.

These #corrupt #cons seek to further divide and polarize all of #Canada through their “unite to collectively hate” campaign, while the center and left rip up agreements and quarrel amongst themselves like stranded toddlers fighting for a Conch shell.

Honestly, this power steal feels like something taken right out of a #Russian playbook.

These #unethical #Conservatives realized they could only obtain power by taking out competing parties and stealing their votes.

#Disgraceful and #undemocratic. If this is considered acceptable behaviour, Canadian #democracy is broken and we’re all downright fucked.
