  • Would it make sense for alcohol age verification if every household had beer taps installed? Because thats what internet is.

  • To give China credit the solar push was very capitalistic and very well executed. There are so many solar salesmen that will bother you to no end with one offering better deals than another. They come install everything and set up for you and guarantee returns in like 5 years plus mountains of other bonuses (obviously based on location etc.). The environment kinda make you feel stupid for not taking the deal too so you're really pressured which imo is a win. It's basically a free market under a dictatorship for a product in high natural demand.

    Though I can't comment on industrial solar panel fields but the consumer part is very well executed and the rest of Asia is like 10 years behind.

  • Except that breaking copyright is not stealing and never was. Hard to believe that you'd ever see Copyright advocates on foss and decentralized networks like Lemmy - its like people had their minds hijacked because "big tech is bad".

  • You can - Samsung phones are really well supported for that.

  • Worth noting buying a second hand phone is still better in every aspect and sadly 2nd hand Samsung from 3 years ago is still better and cheaper. Though Fairphone is getting closer with each release!

  • Nope I'm literally a data programmer working in this field. Any sufficiently transformed data even coming from hard copyright is transformative work and currently LLMs meet this criteria and will continue to do so. Wanna bet?

  • Dude just read the article. Torrenting IS illegal even by Meta here. What's up with people being willingly illiterate here?

    The entire thing judge saying is that you can't sue for AI training but come back with a different lawsuit hinting at piracy which was just set as precedent in another lawsuit last week.

  • Ah the Schrödinger's LLM - always hallucinating and also always accurate

  • Again maybe you should give it another shot - piracy is still illegal but training is legal. How would "you torrenting movies" be alright here? You see how it makes no sense?

  • Your last paragraph would be ideal solution in ideal world but I don't think ever like this could happen in the current political and economical structures.

    First its super easy to hide all of this and enforcement would be very difficult even domestically. Second, because we're in AI race no one would ever put themselves in such disadvantage unless its real damage not economical copyright juggling.

    People need to come to terms with these facts so we can address real problems rather than blow against the wind with all this whining we see on Lemmy. There are actual things we can do.

  • Someone didn't read the article

  • But the actual process of an AI system distilling from thousands of written works to be able to produce its own passages of text qualified as “fair use” under U.S. copyright law because it was “quintessentially transformative,” Alsup wrote.

    Thats the actual argument and the judge is right here. LLMs are transformative in every sense of the word. The technology is even called "transformers".

  • This is the notorious lawsuit from a year ago:

    a group of well-known writers that includes comedian Sarah Silverman and authors Jacqueline Woodson and Ta-Nehisi Coates

    The judge enforces that AI training is fair use:

    But the actual process of an AI system distilling from thousands of written works to be able to produce its own passages of text qualified as “fair use” under U.S. copyright law because it was “quintessentially transformative,” Alsup wrote.

    This is a second judgement of this type this week.

  • My board is just Myna in every single square (the middle one). They're like crows but smaller but somehow louder and braver and everywhere.

  • I think it says "cause property damage"

  • I'll be honest with you - I genuinely sympathize with the cause but I don't see how this could ever be solved with the methods you suggested. The world is not coming together to hold hands and koombayah out of this one. Trade deals are incredibly hard and even harder to enforce so free market is clearly the only path forward here.

  • Peak ludites gathering here lmao

    I'd be willing to literally bet everything I own that AI will not be gone anytime soon. It's absurd to even think that we would ever go back to pre-llm world unless a world ending event happens.

  • Unpopular opinion but I don't see how it could have been different.

    • There's no way the west would give AI lead to China which has no desire or framework to ever accept this.
    • Believe it or not but transformers are actually learning by current definitions and not regurgitating a direct copy. It's transformative work - it's even in the name.
    • This is actually good as it prevents market moat for super rich corporations only which could afford the expensive training datasets.

    This is an absolute win for everyone involved other than copyright hoarders and mega corporations.

  • I have used chatgpt for early diagnostics with great success and obviously its not a doctor but that doesn't mean it's useless.

    Chatgpt can be a crucial first step especially in places where doctor care is not immediately available. The initial friction for any disease diagnosis is huge and anything to overcome that is a net positive.
