It’s a browser. They have been getting weekly updates for like a decade now.

Dude wrote a memo telling everyone just how fucking evil we are and tried to hide it. They then got caught and try play off that he was cosplaying an evil villain from a movie.

Do you have a source for it being a legitimate memo? I get that the message is embarrassingly close to the truth, but if what you say is true, they’d be committing perjury - which would get them into even more trouble.

German traffic laws are not my area of expertise, but can you also lose your license if you drank alcohol a week ago?

It’s not entirely a 1-to-1 comparison, but weed doesn’t have That long an impact on reaction times.

Fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work.

I don’t see why it should.

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

No, but the training data does contain a copy. And making a model is not criticising, commenting upon, or creating a parody of it.

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

it’s just a list of examples of fair use.

Yes, it’s a list of quite similar ways of commenting upon a work. Please explain how training an LLM is like any of those things, and thus, how Fair use would apply.

Well, he is an author. I can heartily recommend his books “Little Brother” and “Homeland”.

The End of Privacy is a Taylor Swift Fan TikTok Account Armed with Facial Recognition Tech (www.404media.co)

A viral TikTok account is doxing ordinary and otherwise anonymous people on the internet using off-the-shelf facial recognition technology, creating content and growing a following by taking advantage of a fundamental new truth: privacy is now essentially dead in public spaces....

The app rating in Google is currently 4.5 stars. I did my part in leaving a review, and got a nice “As our features grow…” pasta reply.

Edit: I’ve also downgraded the app to version 4.38 and disabled auto updates (both for the app and the firmware), and asked my housemate to do the same. That should keep things working for now.

Isn’t that just a Philips subsidiary?

@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

TIL. Thanks! Weird that the app is still called “Phillips Hue” though. Probably a matter of time.

My favourite VR app is Bigscreen - your own private big-ass cinema. Ever though the resolution isn’t as high as a 4k TV, it really is so much more immersive.

However my most used apps are workout games. It’s much more fun than going to the gym. The pricetag is pretty steep though.

Spotify is moving slowly and carefully_ for now_,

Is that so? As far as I know, the last few years they’ve been turning formerly open podcasts (you know, using the official podcast standard, xml feeds and all) into Spotify exclusives. So that you can only access them with an account (profiling), and have to listen to ads or pay for premium.

You’re giving them too much credit / good faith, imho.

Ha, tell me about out it. I’m pro-AI, but I’m also pro-artist. So I’m fine with people building all kinds of things using these tools, but I’m not fine with companies plundering every piece of content they can get their hands on, without permission of the creators. That is not really a popular opinion to have on here. Lucky for me though, I’m on a Lemmy instance that doesn’t allow downvotes. That does wonders for your state of mind :)

I think it mostly a matter of “most of the copyrighted material belongs to companies, fuck companies”, as well as a little bit of “I have nothing to hide steal”. And of course a fair dose of “magic box makes pretty pictures, don’t take it away”. But maybe I’m just cynical.

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Probably. Human beings also died when we were figuring out organ transplants, and still do, sometimes.

If you think that’s the primary purpose of neuralink, then there’s no point discussing this with you.

Short term: giving people with certain disabilities control over their bodies. Things like allowing paralysed people the ability to move, or giving sight to the blind, etc. Long term: changing the way we communicate with computers and each other.

It definitely used to, but I have been using my laptop with dual boot Ubuntu / windows 10 since last years summer (using either several times per week, and keeping up with all the updates), and not once did the bootloader break.

My biggest problem was chasing down the windows drivers, but after that it was golden.

I think we’ll find our whether or not that is true will be decided in a trial like this.

I think that in the end it should be a matter of licenseship (?). The author might give you the right to train a model on it, if you pay them for it. Just like you’d have get permission if you want to turn their work into a play or a show.

I don’t think the argument (not yours, but often seen in discussions like these) about “humans can be inspired by a work, so a computer should be allowed to be as well” holds any ground. For it would take a human much more time to make a style their own, as well as to recreate large amounts of it. For a ai model the same is a matter of minutes and seconds, respectively. So any comparison is moot, imho.

admin, (edited )
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

It’s not the same as turning it into a play, but it’s doing something with it beyond its intended purpose, specifically with the intention to produce derivatives of it at an enormous scale.

Whether or not a computer needs more or less of it than a human is not a factor, in my opinion. Actually, the fact that more input is required than for a human only makes it worse, since more of the creators work has to be used without their permission.

Again, the reason why I think it’s incomparable is that when a human learns to do this, the damage is relatively limited. Even the best writer can only produce so many pages per day. But when a model learns to do it, the ability to apply it is effectively unlimited. The scale of the infraction is so exponentially more extreme, that I don’t think it’s reasonable to compare them.

Lastly, if I made it sound like that, I apologise, that was not my intention. I don’t think it’s the models fault, but the people who decided to (directly or indirectly by not vetting their input data) take somebody’s copyrighted work and train an LLM on it.
