I am good with that.

The only way this would be ok is if openai was actually open. make the entire damn thing free and open source, and most of the complaints will go away.

[–] undrwater@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

Truly open is the only way LLMs make sense.

They're using us and our content openly. The relationship should be reciprocal. Now, they need to somehow keep the servers running.

Perhaps a SETI like model?

over it is then. Buh bye!

Why does Sam have such a punchable face?

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

let's have a tier list of billionaires by face punchability.

[–] demonsword@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

my top 3:

#1 Elon Musk

#2 Mark Zuckerberg

#3 Jeff Bezos

I hate zuckerburg as much as anyone, but I find his face surprisingly low on the punchability index. Musk and Bezos at 1 and 2 for me.

[–] Ketram@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Zuck is, however, at the top of the list for lizard person index.

Bezos has such a shit-eating grin. Really makes him infinitely more punchable

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

oh zuck is such a lizard-person.

Bezos' entire personality gets me fuming; I would want to punch him even if he weren't a billionaire. (Remember that time he talked over William Shatner touchdown?)

Musk honestly looks ok to me personally, I guess the gender-affirming surgeries went well. But the thought of what's going on behind his eyes makes me want to punch him in the face real bad.

Keep your filthy paws away from my boy George Lucas

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Yeah but his especially, it's so squishy.

Cosmic justice?

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 hours ago

Business that stole everyone's information to train a model complains that businesses can steal information to train models.

Yeah I'll pour one out for folks who promised to open-source their model and then backed out the moment the money appeared... Wankers.

But I can't pirate copyrighted materials to "train" my own real intelligence.

[–] Bruncvik@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago

That's because the elites don't want you to think for yourself, and instead are designing tools that will tell you what to think.

Perhaps this is just a problem with the way the model works. Always requiring new data and unable to use current data, to ponder and expand upon while making new connections about ideas that influenced the author… LLM’s are a smoke and mirrors show, not a real intelligence.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 38 points 5 hours ago (10 children)

Copyrights should have never been extended longer than 5 years in the first place, either remove draconian copyright laws or outlaw LLM style models using copyrighted material, corpos can't have both.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I think copyright lasting 20 years or so is not unreasonable in our current society. I'd obviously love to live in a society where we could get away with lower. As a compromise, I'd like to see compulsory licensing applied to all written work. (E.g., after n years, anyone can use it if they pay royalties and you can't stop them; the amount of royalties gradually decreases until it's in the public domain.)

[–] Rainbowsaurus@lemm.ee 27 points 4 hours ago (12 children)

Bro, what? Some books take more than 5 years to write and you want their authors to only have authorship of it for 5 years? Wtf. I have published books that are a dozen years old and I'm in my mid-30s. This is an insane take.

[–] monotremata@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The one I thought was a good compromise was 14 years, with the option to file again for a single renewal for a second 14 years. That was the basic system in the US for quite a while, and it has the benefit of being a good fit for the human life span--it means that the stuff that was popular with our parents when we were kids, i.e. the cultural milieu in which we were raised, would be public domain by the time we were adults, and we'd be free to remix it and revisit it. It also covers the vast majority of the sales lifetime of a work, and makes preservation and archiving more generally feasible.

5 years may be an overcorrection, but I think very limited terms like that are closer to the right solution than our current system is.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Exactly! That's what we had originally in the US, and I thought that was more than fair. I would add that the renewal should only be awarded if they can prove they need more time to recoup R&D costs and it's still available commercially.

So yeah, something in the neighborhood of 10-15 years w/ a renewal sounds totally fair to me. Let them keep the trademarks and whatnot as long as they're in use (e.g. you shouldn't be able to make a new entry in a series w/o the author's permission for the marks, but fanfic that explicitly mentions it's not original/canon would probably fall under fair use), but the actual copyright should expire very quickly.

"We can't succeed without breaking the law. We can't succeed without operating unethically."

I'm so sick of this bullshit. They pretend to love a free market until it's not in their favor and then they ask us to bend over backwards for them.

Too many people think they're superior. Which is ironic, because they're also the ones asking for handouts and rule bending. If you were superior, you wouldn't need all the unethical things that you're asking for.
