  • I think the materials they're made out of, when left to rot, are biohazards too though right? Its not just that they're used that makes them so.

  • I wasn't being serious by the way, but thanks for the detailed explanation of why, always appreciated to know the actual ins and outs no matter the topic.

  • But space is cold

  • First one that comes to mind to me for that is Cabin in the Woods

  • Context is key. Depends on what the movie is trying to be

  • Yeah I can see some of them definitely into it just to know that they did something so reprehensible but still not get any repercussions for it. They probably got more out of that than the kids themselves. And frankly, that's just as terrifying.

  • loops.video I think

  • There is but it's not on any app store yet, not even f-droid

  • What's UB?

  • I think I will be in the office tomorrow so I can do it now and then I can do it now and then I can do it for you and your dad and dad and dad and dad and dad and dad and dad and dad and dad and dad

    That was mine haha

  • Its not anyone though. Not anyone can get a warrant and demand the keys

  • I don't think I have moved my goalposts... I'm just reiterating the same thing I've said prior

  • The development work I mentioned it you actually read it was about ensuring that specific access is given at the scale in which they need.

    Plus the legal challenge is not about the singular copies of books but for it to be in a state that is suitable for the ingestion of data which would likely mean giving them specifically DRM free versions which I imagine some book publishers would scowl at.

  • Those kinds of negotiations if they haven't been done by other companies before, they won't have a process for it already in place. There'd be lots of friction for the first of such deal. Both in lots of legal work and software development to make sure they only get access relevant to the deal made.

    It's not something they can just be like "hey, here's the FTP URI". Because these legitimate repositories you speak of, like Amazon I guess, will already have existing deals with publishers. Currently as they stand, these deals may not be compatible with Amazon sharing their IP with other companies. So they will either have to redo those deals or restrict access of specific titles to the likes of Nvidia.

  • Sadly I think it's more that there isn't really a standard way to buy books and other media in bulk at the scale of which AI training usually requires. So the companies realise they can save both time and money in just pirating after calculating the fine risk. Its just a bonus that they usually get away with it and that the fines would likely be cheaper than a legit transaction. But i do think it's the bulk data packaging that makes piracy look more attractive to them at the get-go.

    Heck, even video game publishers often source their roms for their official re-releases from pirated copies because pirates are better at preserving data and keeping it in a nice friendly format. Easier to search for it on the web and download it then it is too goo into their own archives and rip it themselves, if they even still have original copies, cause they sure as hell didn't keep their source code.

  • Its not formally correct, but it's understandable through other possessive rules. Like "MrscottyTay's" or "HugeNerd's"

    The English language is more complex than just what the posh prescribed formal rules indicate. They're guidelines rather than doctrines to live by. Even though this isn't quite a great example of it but our language becomes a lot more playful and colourful through the breaking of such rules.

  • It can also be a possessive for it

  • Not to mention the time it would take to ingest that data

  • Redundancy and high quality backups maybe? Some people have hoarded a lot of media over how many years, doesn't seem too far fetched to me.

  • People should look into the ikko mind one too. Its shit that they have so much emphasis on their "AI OS" which is just an integrated app (which can be requested to be removed before delivery or removed via adb). But the hardware looks solid.

    Its a square screen phone that you can get a keyboard case for that includes a hifi dac. Its camera is a big sony sensor that can flip over to the front so they didn't need to split the camera money between two or more sensors.
