“Dichronauts” has a US publisher, who acquired the North American rights, but my former UK publisher wasn’t interested in the book so I self-published my own eBook edition for all countries outside North America.
I feel there has to be a way of training neural networks to recognise the influence of their training data on the output.
This would probably include training a complementary indexing network + database that would then ”reverse-training” resolve and offer at some predetermined accuracy the #copyright-viable sources for each generated #aiart
I need some help though. A proof would show the companies know it can be done, but they just don’t want to.
@sofia No, actually I am looking forward to people making MORE contributions to AI training instead of hiding their work away to protect it from being stolen.
I am not looking for copyright violations, but a new paradigm, where generative models feed back into the creative economy.
For this rewriting of the copyright laws will be necessary. I wrote lengthily about this for the Finnish Pirate party more than a year ago:
Suppose E is an elliptic curve. I have groups of transformations that are compositions of automorphisms of E and a translation of the marked point on E. Is there a name for these transformations? #mathematics
"I must study politics and war, that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
“My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."
The #ancientEgyptians were known for their advanced understanding of #mathematics and its many practical uses. From the construction of the iconic #pyramids to their use of algebraic techniques to solve problems, the ancient Egyptians were masters of the mathematical arts.
German painter, engraver, and mathematician Albrecht Dürer died #OTD in 1528.
Beyond his artistic achievements, Dürer also wrote extensively on art theory and mathematics, contributing to the intellectual discourse of his time. He produced treatises on perspective, proportion, and the theory of art, which were influential in shaping artistic practice in the Renaissance and beyond.
@gutenberg_org Because of a Dürer exhibition, I first ever came across The Harrowing Of Hell, the excised Christian gospel of Jesus's adventures in Hell prior to his resurrection.
The number pi, which is celebrated with its own day on 14 March, has inspired “Pilish” – a fiendishly challenging form of writing. There’s even a Pilish novel. Give it a go yourself, it can be strangely addictive...
This is remarkable. It's the mathematics equivalent of Einstein's theory of relativity in terms of significance. If the math holds up (I've skimmed their paper and there's no way I can judge, but the examples look convincing) they are guaranteed a Fields Medal (the mathematical equivalent of the Nobel Prize). There's a link to the paper at the end of the article if you want to have a look at what really advanced number theory looks like.
I strongly suspect this is nonsense, but the paper is so confusingly written that I can’t work out (after investing half an hour so far) whether it is saying something extraordinary and false or something unimpressive and true.
Scottish mathematician, physicist, and astronomer John Napier died #OTD in 1617.
Napier's most famous work is his treatise "Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio", published in 1614. In this work, he introduced logarithms as a means to simplify complex mathematical calculations, particularly in the field of astronomy and navigation. He invented the concept of Napier's bones used for multiplication, and he made advancements in spherical trigonometry.
"A Logarithmic Table is a small table by the use of which we can obtain a knowledge of all geometrical dimensions and motions in space, by a very easy calculation. It is deservedly called very small, because it does not exceed in size a table of sines; very easy, because by it all multiplications, divisions, and the more difficult extractions of roots are avoided; for by only a very few most easy additions, subtractions, and divisions by two, it measures quite generally all figures and motions."
