The moon is made of cheese. Are these blocks from the moon? They are, aren't they. Wow! The Egyptians took giant blocks of cheese from the moon and made pyramids!

Yes, but Meta/Facebook is essentially positioning itself as a monopolistic utility by buying out all its smaller competitors and leveraging itself as one of the few players in the market. There are a lot of people, who if you want to talk to them or see what they have to say, you have to get a Facebook account. This includes politicians and small businesses.

And in the early days of the telephone, switchboard operators would listen in on conversations and cut off anyone they didn't like. Then in civilized countries, they required phone companies to be common carriers and required police to get warrants if there was anything illegal suspected, to listen in on someone.

Similar thing with the postal service.

The phones are run by private companies. Should they be allowed to restrict what you say over the phone (or sms)?

Isn't the phrase they use "up to" the promised speed? So if it is 300bps, that is not above 5Mbps, so they technically met their promise.

If they are LVM volumes, it would be possible. Otherwise, you can move the directories you want to the new partition and use symbolic links to point to the new places. Then again some things aren't correctly designed, so they may have problems with symbolic links and YMMV.

It is part of the SSSCA / CBDTPA / "Trusted" computing initiative. The large corporations want to control what you are allowed to do with your computer. This is where the phrase "digital rights management" comes from.

runefehay, to technology in Roku disables TVs and streaming devices until users consent to new terms

I have a Sceptre tv. I use it as a TV and computer monitor. I don't remember exactly when I bought it, but it has been at least several years-maybe a decade, and it works great.

The only issue is I think I damaged the screen slightly a year or two ago while cleaning. Most of the time the damage isn't visible and is very small, so I don't worry about it. Well...and I had to replace the remote once as some buttons stopped working properly. Otherwise I have been using it without problem.

runefehay, to technology in Training Generative AI Models on Copyrighted Works Is Fair Use - Change My Mind

I'm really late replying, sorry. I know style isn't copyrightable, but when you ask one of these AIs to replicate a style, I'm sure they are just remixing copies of a few works. I just think it would be better to train these systems on public domain works, so you don't have to worry about copyright harassment from the big media companies.

I'd just like to add: fuck the copyright cartel.

runefehay, to technology in Training Generative AI Models on Copyrighted Works Is Fair Use - Change My Mind

I am no lawyer, but I suspect what will be considered either fair use or infringing will probably depend on how the programmed AI model is used.

For example, if you train it on a book of poetry, asking it questions about the poetry will probably be considered fair use. If you ask the AI to write poetry in the style of the book's poems and you publish the AI's poetry, I suspect it might be considered laundering copyright and infringing. Especially if it is substantially similar to specific poems in the book.
