To be clear, my position is that copyright law should be loosened, not tightened. I know that it’s unreasonable and infeasible to limit AI like that, both for practical and competitive reasons.

When I said that it could be shown to generate copyrighted content, I didn’t mean it had a chance, I meant showing actual examples of it doing so. I also think that it should be allowed to do that, but so should everyone else. In my opinion, derivative works should almost always be allowed unless they can be proven to cause significant harm to the original creator.

If an AI has been trained on copyrighted material and can be shown to be capable of reproducing something close enough to said material, would that be infringement already or not? If you use a paid service like Midjourney to generate copyrighted content, the company is essentially selling you access to copyrighted content they lack the rights to.

Fair enough. When my history was off, the recommendations were bad. I just made my bookmark link directly to the Subscriptions page.

Except that programmers get sued for taking their expertise to competitors and musical artists get sued for using similar melodies. Give everyone the freedom you want to give AI or don’t give it to anyone, but carving out an exception for AI is just plainly wrong.

I’m not sure why people think that turning their history off protects their privacy. What’s to stop Google from just not showing you your history if you try to turn it off? I’m sure they still collect all of that data.

Crazy how google still does that, but youtube doesn’t. My guess would be that laymen were copy-pasting titles with hyphens in them and then getting confused when what they were looking for wouldn’t show up, which honestly makes sense. That could be solved by just having the little tricks visible somewhere near the search so that people can figure it out.

Hence compressed file formats like PNG, MP3/4, etc for different kinds of compressible media. Compression is all about representing data in an often dynamically sized latent space such that the majority of the data being sent needs a latent space that is much smaller than the full representation of the data.

Thanks for entertaining my ideas! :D

If you acquired a fake lottery ticket, you could make it look like you thought you were going to repay it once you got the payout. That could also at least delay the giftees from asking too many questions. You wouldn’t wanna drop dead the very next day either, wouldn’t it be better to wait a little bit?

Would they also have to PROVE that you knew you were going to die? What if you committed suicide, but made it look like an accident?

(This is purely hypothetical, before you get concerned. I don’t have the credit required to get a card with that high of a ceiling.)

What if you sold all of your stuff and maxed out a bunch of credit cards to buy people stuff so you had no actual estate?

That’s fraud.

I could never use icons that look so same-y. The changes to Google’s apps’ icons drove me nuts. To each their own, I guess!

Imagine if you had to leave your phone’s GPS on and keep it with you at all times so that it could verify your identity every time you went into a store.

I’ve seen a few “we are merging with XYZ” posts and it makes me happy. Community fragmentation is a pretty big problem in the fediverse. That’s not to say it wasn’t an issue on the old site we all migrated from, but it’s worse here.

And nobody cares because once they get through school, they never have to deal with it again. It’s an endless cycle of suffering, and nobody who is capable of stopping it is willing to do so.

You can still use the authless Reddit API to scrape your old posts. Just add “.json” to the end of your URL, like so: https://www.reddit.com/user/jaschen/submitted.json

To get the next page, add “?after=AFTER” to the end after “.json”, where AFTER is the value you got from the preceding request. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Lemmy’s API, so you’ll need to solve that yourself.

We can’t write those agreements, but evolution could do it for us. I know that we kill an insignificant amount of them compared to how many are in the wild, but maybe certain spiders in urban areas could be under enough evolutionary strain to actually get better at staying out of our way.

I literally just switched between dark and AMOLED a few minutes ago because I couldn’t decide if I wanted too dark or too light. I wish we had a color picker for the background like the highlight color.

You have to add the instance you’re using first.
