  • GrapheneOS defends use of AI for coding

  • Sorry, I don't bootlick the copyright machine. Anyone with half a brain can see it's transformative. I don't get why collage is fine but AI isn't, it's just copyright mega corps and data brokers that smell blood in the water. All the data isn't even owned by the artist, you are fighting for universal records, not your local guitarist.

    For the climate aspect, it's mostly grid issues and corruption. It's laughable to blame AI when we have president pedo prostrating himself in front of oil companies and destroying renewable projects. We need regulations and all that on where they can be placed and how they get powered, but in the end, it's just software. I could use AI 8 hours a day for my whole life and I still wouldn't be close to the damage one ticket to Europe does. It's a scape goat being served by a corrupt pro oil lobby.

    Don't get me wrong, I know what datacenters entail with the amount of people they serve, but if you look at it at an individual level, it's a drop in the bucket, or it would be if they weren't using plane turbines. We need regulations to curb the stupidity, but it's doesn't make it all inherently bad.

  • The fact that it isn't perfect is the grey. And sure, it has a lot of problems but not only is it still useful anyways, but those problems are being ironed out. They probably won't disappear completely but the tech is already miles further than what we had 2 years ago.

    To make you understand what I mean by black and white, you have a user that put "AI is evil" in big bold letters in the comments. The hate is almost cult like for part of the population, and imo, it's mostly because the media tells them to be mad.

    Most of it depends on the task in any case. I don't work with massive code bases and it doesn't take long reading through a few scripts, running it and checking the output. The people I know that do work with huge code bases are using it as well, but I can't really talk for them either. They don't hate it tho.

  • That's a great example actually, you just have to differentiate between a nuclear weapon and a nuclear power plant. You can split atoms to build a bomb or heat water, the concept of splitting an atom itself isn't evil.

  • On the afternoon of August 20, I visited the website of a shadowy group called Neighbors for Strong Communities. Days earlier, it had begun spamming Californians’ phones with a bullying warning: Paramount might leave the state, taking thousands of jobs with it, unless Attorney General Rob Bonta settled the lawsuit he and 11 other AGs filed to block the studio’s takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. The site offered to help me write to Mr. Bonta. It also suggested that I describe a time when I or someone close to me had lost a job or struggled to make ends meet.

    I typed 14 words: “Thank you AG Bonta for working to BLOCK THE MERGER and save media jobs.” I took a screenshot. The site stated it was “using what you shared to prepare a personalized message” to Attorney General Bonta.

    Moments later, a draft appeared in my email account, signed with my name, email address, and ZIP code. “I remember a time when finding consistent work felt impossible,” the draft said, “and the worry that came with it was terrible.” It ended with: “I urge you to protect California jobs and drop your opposition to the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger.”

  • Megadeth guitarist becomes voice of reason regarding tourists dancing at shrine in Japan

    Jump

  • Ya I get that but they are treated like tourism spots. Mosques and churches where a bad example. Here's a passage (the last bit was in bold in the article) and pic from the link. It just seems like the shrine itself doesn't really treat it with reverence so dumb tourist behavior is kind of to be expected.

    I get it but we also live in a society where people will sometimes dance at locations they perceive as public enough. I find it annoying no matter the location but it doesn't seem like a big deal either.

    Many of Japan’s religious sites do not have or cultivate a heavily solemn atmosphere. The streets leading to major shrines and temples are often lined with restaurants and souvenir shops, and a mood of levity isn’t seen, in and of itself, as sinful or inappropriate, even on shrine/temple grounds. The sprawling layout of sites such as Fushimi Inari can also contribute to a casual atmosphere, as moving about the spaces between structures can feel like a walk in the woods or stroll in a garden. As such, while shrines and temples are religious sites, they might not necessarily feel like “sacred ground,” in that they don’t impose the same sets of strict regulations and restrictions that term might imply in other cultures. However, just because visitors aren’t expected to be somber at Japan’s shrines and temples doesn’t mean it’s OK for them to be flippant.

  • Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't get caught dead doing this, but you look at the vid and there is a crowd of people. It kind of feels like a zoo, it's unavoidable I guess.

    I feel the same about this as I would seeing someone do it in a crowded museum. The shaming is justified but it feels out of proportion for what it is.

    I don't really know how to feel about this. It's important to respect cultures and all that but it's also just dancing. It seems like they are celebrating the place instead of really disrespecting it. Honestly, the disrespect comes more from turning it into a tourism spot in the first place. Charging tourists to come into your sacred shrine kind of takes away the sacred aspect of it imo (edit: not the case here I think but still)

    Would you do the same thing in a church or a mosque?

    I don't see anything wrong with dancing in a church either. I actually think if a priest came out and complained about people dancing in his church, he'd get overwhelmed with mockery. (I don't mean during a service but normal wandering around hours).

    If a place is so sacred you can't dance in it, then it's too sacred to let tourists in either.

  • US government sides with OpenAI on issue of training LLMs on copyrighted material: »it is critical for the United States to ‘retain global leadership in artificial intelligence.«

    Jump

  • The output of the training, the model (LLM) itself, is transformative. I'm not talking about the output of the llm nor was the person I was responding to.

    The pirating issue has nothing to do with the current lawsuit (the New York Times one mentioned in the article) nor did the government mention it in the current context.

    That being said, I'm a pirate in my personal life, and I also think it's kind of a necessary evil when it comes to building SOTA models. I wish we had a copy left solution to it, so you can use pirated data but need to open source it, so open source has a fighting chance and big AI can buy it if they want it. I'm okay with openAI and anthropic getting brought into court about it I guess, but the legislation ends up being market capture in their favor in the end.

    I understand the issues though, very "rule for thee but not for me" currently.

  • Precendent was already there. Copyright has never been enforceable when it's transformative. Collage is legal, so was training neural nets before the copyright industry saw money in it.

  • None of what you said is wrong but I think it's a bit simplistic to compare it to a resolution jump or to bring up Indy graphics vs AAAA as a sign that nobody cares anymore.

    FPS is indeed the real killer though, you can't really run this without high end cards and the difference is simply not worth the price for most people.
