“Derivative” is less questionable than “work”.

For eg. AI Gen imagery is not copyrightable for the most part, legally closer to plagiarism than art?

I really like the idea of signing the model with a dataset hash. Each legally licensable piece of source material could provide a hash, maybe?

In terms of outputs, it’s really difficult to judge how transformative a model is without transparency of dataset. We’ve obviously seen prompts regurgitate verbatim known works, it could be even more prevalent than apparent just through obscurity as opposed to transformation. More than meets the eye.

This is physically bought, scanned, books. Not covered by this case is what they’re allowed to do with that model, eg. charge people for access to it.

Maybe controversial, but compared to meta pirating books, claiming it makes no difference, and that each book is individually worthless to the model (but the model is of course worth billions), is it wrong that I’m like “hmm at they’re least buying books”?

As others say, there should be specific licensing, so they actually need to pay a cost per book, set by the publisher, specifically to legally include it in their model, not just shopping as humans but actually an llm skin suit slave.

“portal litter” needs a comeback

I meant it’s not standardised across browsers, so it doesn’t really matter if you change them within certain bounds. You can certainly set up something akin to some basic nice typesetting, get your default margins, padding, fonts, bg color sorted. They’re all reset in basically all websites anyway.

They’re not standards, it’s just default styles, which you can change.

This. Text files are great for so many reasons! Hard to construct something malicious, too, so pretty great for uploads.

HTML but no-CSS has defaults though.

Can you read books

Excellent at hurdles

Could’ve said a version of this about every multi-function pocketable device ever made, but they’re still fun

Excellent work

TIL in America, Baked Potato with a Steak is “fancy”, rather than “a Wednesday”.

I’d say the same about eg. Chicken “Kiev” with Potato Dauphinoise, standard ready meal gastropub fare.

I hadn’t heard of Nazi White Supremacist Preston Damsky, but having read this article and his University of Florida paper, it seems like Racist Nazi Preston Damsky has racist nazi white supremacist views which he masks and deflects from in his University of Florida paper in a typical lazy nazi racist white supremacist fashion. It’s shameful that the University of Florida supports this white supremacist racist nazi.

Roll out white saviours! The ends don’t justify the means, and all this has happened before, with disastrous results

As usual this is teenage boy logic. They are posing with their guns as recruitment propaganda. No it’s a super secret magic cool gun from god you haven’t even heard of it because it’s so futuristic and we’re cool so not at all evil, right

Some people said the dress was black and blue while others argued it was white and gold.   The court heard the couple had a “volatile” relationship and Johnston became enraged with his wife at their home during an argument.    He then tackled her to the ground and throttled her using both hands. […]   He threatend to “finish her off”, struggled with his wife again, brandished a knife, uttered a further threat that “somebody was going to die” and then attempted to self-harm, the court heard.   He pleaded guilty at the same court last month to assaulting his wife to her injury and endangering her life. […]   They went on to appear on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in the USA, where they were handed $10,000 and a luxury trip to Grenada.
