people:

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 -viable sources for each generated

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:

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@sofia In other words: Getting paid a reasonable amount from the model providers would incentivise people to be part of the training data.

Getting also paid from using the models creatively incentivises their use, and this is where copyright reform is most needed.

Instead of remaining a grey area forever, as the industry would sure be happy about, we need legal category for the remix as piece of art.

I’m definitely not with Netanyahu’s government or killing civilians, but those who are concerned about their deaths should also understand that Hamas really is run by committed religious fanatics. And before you say ”islamophobia”, I beg your pardon, that this is actually a problem for thr Arab world, and Palestinians in particular. Being led by Jihadists is terrible for the people.

@gimulnautti it is also extremely suspicious that it took so long to call the army in, and indeed, that none of the multiple alerts on the actual wall seemed to be working.
The main beneficiary of the six weeks massacre is Netanyahu as he has always wanted to eject the Palestinians and take over Gaza. Now he is getting his wish and the Palestinians are getting the blame.
Win, win.

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@peterbrown Man. The army was literally not there! 37 out of 39 IDF battalions were deployed in the West Bank, protecting the settlers!

Netanyahu’s far-right allies were the ones who needed the army more than the people they should have been protecting. To expand their illegal settlements.

And his cabinet was full of incompetents, because he staffed it based on loyalty, not skill. What warnings he got, he didn’t take seriously. Because sucking up to the man took precedence.

@philosophy Practical from :

Why is the claim: ”Everything is fair and equal because the same rules apply to everyone” a ?

This cornerstone of modernity has eventually been shown to be false, because it is based on the assumption that humanity experiences ”the world as it is”.

Cognitive & computational neuroscience have strongly pointed toward Kant’s description of human experience to be the correct one: 1/3

@PatternChaser @pinecone @philosophy I think both US main parties are definitely economically right, with dem a bit more center. On the kind of liberty they work for is different though. Rep are for economic liberty and Dem for personal.

Nolan’s chart is pretty good for US politics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_Chart

In it, bottom-top axis is authoritarian/libertarian. But maybe he didn’t go far enough. Perhaps the third axis is really Authoritarian/Anarchist.

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

And yeah. I’m not US, either. I think in the context of US politics though, left/right matching is especially problematic with the rest of the world.

Yet, for a whole population that provides much of the cultural content for the rest of the world, it’s entirely natural to talk in terms that ”don’t make sense” in contexts where it is received.

@JohanEmpa A pitch for Meta federation from your user:

I would like mastodon.green to federate with Meta. As far as I know, them being a part of the fediverse does not pose a threat as long as they don’t control the ActivityPub protocol

They can already scrape our posts from the public internet, so nothing will change in that regard

I see them joining as a welcome step from the private sector in embracing open protocols. Hopefully the public sector will join too, leaving the private platforms

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@JohanEmpa The beauty of the fediverse is that whether to federate or not can be individually decided by each server.

I can also easily create an account on a federating instance to see whether I like it or not.

I have a feeling the science community might go the way of Meta, so we’ll see where I end up.

@gimulnautti Yes, that's one of the best features with the fediverse, that everyone can try different instances.

gimulnautti, to Russia
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

is now at peak -industrial capacity, practically zero unemployment, pay hikes because not enough labour force to man the weapons factories. 35% of government spending go to military. 7.1% of GDP. All of it to go up in smoke in

However, if we look at the numbers, this output only matches current EU military spending. Countries which are on avg spending less than 2% on it currently.

Tell me again how Ukraine supported only by Europe can’t possibly win?

I don't want to be doomer but PPP (purchasing power parity) adjusted dollar buys a lot more stuff to kill people in Russia than it does in the West.

155 mm artillery shell without luxuries like rocket assist or base bleed now costs around 7,000 USD in open defence market to buy.

@gimulnautti

The one's saying it will cost too much, are just repeating Kremlin disinformation.
EU countries and the US are more than happy to make money by churning out weapons. Russia is not known for great manufacturing power - they make their money from shipping energy and raw materials, not finished complex goods

Some of the words for in : ❄️

Lumi = snow
Hanki = full cover of snow, at least half a meter
Nietos = large & wide ,naturally piled snow
Kinos = smaller, localized piles of snow. If articifial, always this
Nuoska = malleable snow, you can make snowballs out of this
Tykky/tökkö = wind-packed snow
Hankikanto = melted and refrozen cover of snow which you can walk on
Räntä = sleet
Pyry = heavy snowfall in wind
Tuisku = ice crystals snowfall strong wind
Myräkkä = snowstorm

When the left caters to the rich, and the right to the poor, a death spiral is sure to emerge in politics.

I think there is explanation enough for people to consider: ”why?”

@TruthSandwich @alberto_cottica In quashing extremism two parties are indeed better than one. The two parties instead are most often preferred by your first-past-the-post voting system. Fractional representations are indeed at risk of one-party results, like has happened in Hungary. Generally though, the result is a more balanced view where minorities tend to get representation also.

TruthSandwich,

@gimulnautti @alberto_cottica

Well, the advantage of a parliamentary system is that people get to vote for a party that closes matches their views, even when those views are extreme. This keeps the lunatics happier, even though their fringe parties wind up with minimal power.

The disadvantage, as shown by Hungary, is that parliamentary governments can be very unstable and the extremists can take over.

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

Aid bill for Ukraine finally passes, with the all-important 155mm cannon shells & long-range weapons & continuation plan. Because this will take a while.

Finally, we can expect Ukraine to be able to hit Russia on an equal footing, not outgunned 5-to-1 and banned from hitting the actual supplies far outside Ukrainian borders.

That’s going to change a lot of things.
Slava Ukraïni!

@gimulnautti If this happens, then the American Social Contract - or what's left of it - is gone. If this happens, Americans of good conscience will need to do everything within their power to bring it to a grinding halt, even if it means being martyred in the process. The christofascist machine must be prevented from working at all.

The problem is, too many American liberals begin and end their "resistance" at the polls and won't actually rise up until and unless it affects them.

This should scare the sh*t out of anyone, particularly EVERY American who bothers to read it....It is their stated plan so better understand what could be coming and act/vote accordingly.

Naomi Klein lays it plain on why the left is losing people to the right in her new book ’Doppelganger’:

… when entire categories of people are reduced to their race and gender, and labeled ”privileged”, there is little room to confront the myriad ways that working-class white men and women are abused under our predatory capitalist order, with left-wing movements losing many opportunities for alliances …

TruthSandwich,

@gimulnautti

TL;DR

Blocked.

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

Another unfortunate example of the problem I think, blocking instead of engaging

Person probably is confusing Naomi Klein with Naomi Wolf, and hence whatever I quote from her is seen as anti-left.

The key point here is that blocking is really so common, used even when the person themselves is commenting on a post by another and receives an answer they don’t like.

Just retreating futher to that in-group isn’t going to affect change in a democracy. You have to be ready to engage outside as well

🧵 I continue to be amazed at , or the idea that freedom from any form of control is always the right answer.

It tends to result in people who systematically look down on all ways society tries to care for the disadvantaged, even warning labels on products.

One person for example made jokes about labels on cigarette boxes, and ”SOLVENT ABUSE CAN KILL INSTANTLY” on scent dispensers in toilets. He was bright-eyed in declaring how those make people abuse the products more.

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@sofia I think our semiologies are not meeting when we are discussing either the topic of liberalism or freedom. It is probably my fault for starting at a term which is defined in this way only by a few researchers who are not mainstream.

Are you familiar with terms ”negative freedom” vs ”positive freedom”? Ie. ”freedom from” vs ”freedom to”. There is a very clear case that many forms of control to decrease negative freedoms can yield great positive freedoms in return.

sofia,
@sofia@chaos.social avatar

@gimulnautti yeah we do seem to have different ideas of what freedom means. your idea seems nonsensical to me, and so i tried to describe mine, hoping they might make sense to you.

i know of the "positive" vs "negative freedom" concept, but i'm suspicious of the way it's typically used. that is: people in power "trading" our negative freedoms for positive ones.

but if you are working with people to expand some positive freedom then that's great.

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

A core aim of Russian-style , aka ”flooding the zone with shit” is to also create cynicism.

When everything is subject and nothing is true, people slowly start thinking that whatever they do, it will be corrupted and won’t matter anyway.

So they stop doing anything, political talk moves ”to the kitchen” as they say.

So they keep telling how is corrupt, and more & more people in US think it’s a smart move to avoid assistance from lining up politician’s pockets there.
