  • What really triggers me is that digital products that are significantly cheaper, easier and safer (environment etc) than physical counterparts have significantly worse rights and protections.

    Even if I agreed with the idea of copyright the economical implementation is so absurd.

  • Billionaire Sunjay Kapur has died after swallowing a bee at a polo match

  • You are right if it's a honey bee. There are many other species of bees that do have males with stingers. For example many solitary bees (live alone rather than in a hive) have stingers though aren't known to sting people unless swallowed like in the OP.

    The British isles have over 200 species of solitary bees so it's very possible the bee hero in question here was a male :)

  • Yeah isn't that crazy?

    Copyright by itself only protects distribution but then laws like DMCA (US) and EUCA (EU) make drm removal illegal. Its hard to believe that these laws exist and should be opposed at every possible opportunity.

    Can you imagine buying an ebook and being told you can't remove malware from some strings of text or you'll go to prison? Also you have no consumer protections like refunds or ability to pass down the license so you're literally have worse consumer rights than a physical product and digital data costs nothing!

    The current copyright framework is so broken and so toxic it needs to be completely destroyed.

  • Alien Resurrection is low key great and philosophically engaging movie.

  • This is definitely true. I usually drive rentals and totally noticed how safer tilted windshields are.

  • Has US nationalized anything this millenia? I really don't see that ever happening

  • People are quick to burn Youtube here when its clearly the american copyright reach that causes this.

  • RAG on 2 pages of text does not hallucinate anything though. I literally use it every day.

  • I'm genuonely confused how is that even possible in a developed country such as US. Do people not read at all? As in an article or gossip magazine - all of those would get you there.

    Is it just country side folk drinking beer and watching fox news? It can't be 50% of all people. How.

  • AI threads on lemmy are always such a disappointment.

    Its ironic that people put so little thought into understanding this and complain about "ai slop". The slop was in your heads all along.

    To think that more accessibility for a project that is all about sharing information with people to whom information is least accessible is a bad thing is just an incredible lack of awareness.

    Its literally the opposite of everything people might hate AI for:

    • RAG is very good and accurate these days that doesn't invent stuff. Especially for short content like wiki articles. I work with RAG almost every day and never seen it hallucinate with big models.
    • it's open and not run a "big scary tech"
    • it's free for all and would save millions of editor hours and allow more accuracy and complexity in the articles themselves.

    And to top it all you know this is a lost fight even if you're right so instead of contributing to steering this societal ship these people cover their ears and "bla bla bla we don't want it". It's so disappointingly irresponsible.

  • Do you give toddlers post-grad books to read too? This is such an idiotic slippery slope fallacy that it just reeks of white people privilege.

  • This ignorance is my biggest pet peeve today. Wikipedia is not targeting you with this but expanding accessibility to people who don't have the means to digest a complex subject on their lunch break.

    TL;DR: check your privilege
