The first country to kill off LLMs with draconian interpretations of copyright law will simply be handing the industry to other countries on a golden platter. For this reason, I don't see the U.S. ruling in any sort of way that would damage the AI industry too much. There is simply too much money involved.

Given how we train models (content and math), AIs is not practical to ban/legislate away. While the public applications of AI are for content generation and NLP, as @Rinox alluded to, the military applications are where we are going to see the most focus from the government. As an example, the Lantirn targeting pod uses SVMs to profile aircraft from afar, and it took enormous engineering to get it accurate. Comparable object detection functionality can be obtained with NNs and off-the-shelf GPUs. Countries like China already have "differing philosophies" when it comes to intellectual property rights, so we can remove the largest manufacturing market from the potential list of those who would blanket ban AI. Ditto on any possibility of their military forgoing AI either.

The real problem here is copyright law, which has extended protections far and above the length of time that is reasonable. Had we terms of say 35 years, we could simply train on older material.

It's a definite possibility and so is the resulting liability. However, unless that concrete is a facade or otherwise very thin it will probably stop handgun rounds up to even the .45 caliber size. If he's using defensive rounds (hollow points), then penetration through concrete is reduced even further as they are made to expand and dump their kinetic energy within a very short distance after the expansion is triggered. The bullet damage to the wall is something he will certainly be liable for though, also his new screen door lol.

See the following for an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFwntHIWjaw

I just want this to come out so bad. Stalker was the first game I ever played on my PC as a kid. It gave me nightmares for weeks lol.

Does that not hurt? Vaseline seems like it would be way too gummy and thick?

I made an app serving a similar purpose but with WiFi signal as a trigger rather than a USB. It’s called AirWatch and you can get it at vandersecurity.com/airwatch

We actually moved to using Brother lasers after dealing with HP’s anti-consumer nonsense one too many times. They started to refuse to distribute offline capable installers for their drivers, so we returned the rest of our stock and swore them off.

I checked Reddit yesterday for the first time in a while and boy do I not miss it. Content is honestly pretty meh these days.

Magazines are like subreddits. You can use the link in the top menu to look at the current list of magazines. I don’t personally have a list to recommend, but I’m sure others will.

Thank you for being transparent! I’ve donated a few bucks, and I hope others do the same.

Who do they think their audience is? Is this the result of their attempts to gain viewers in the American South?

A venture capitalist would have to be a moron to invest with Huffman on board. This guy simply cannot shut his mouth. Bad move after bad move, over and over.

Emulating Gamecube games is pretty low-spec if you compile the shaders beforehand. Battery life nets 2-3 hours on flights for me (Steam Deck). I have nearly 2000 hours of Animal Crossing GC combined, pls don't judge me 😅.

I have been told the API for Kbin is a bit iffy at the moment given how quickly the site is advancing. IIRC there are also some differences between how Lemmy handles things and we do as of right now. ie. boosts vs upvotes.

I would pay for it in an instant.
