I wouldn't even call it algorithm-driven myopia but rather myopically-designed algorithmic idiocy. It isn't wildly challenging to design a filter to capture semantic context before recommending action on a piece of text, even if the underlying reasoning is wildly petty ratfuckery. It isn't just the petty meandering cruelty with these dumb pieces of shit, though that's certainly enough to merit outrage. It's the combination with historic incompetence that just exponentially amplifies that outrage. Here's to a mario party to roll in 2026.

Even in your latter paragraph, it wouldn't be an infringement. Assuming the art was lawfully accessed in the first place, like by clicking a link to a publicly shared portfolio, no copy is being encoded into the model. There is currently no intellectual property right invoked merely by training a model-- if people want there to be, and it isn't an unreasonable thing to want (though I don't agree it's good policy), then a new type of intellectual property right will need to be created.

What's actually baffling to me is that these pieces presumably are all effectively public domain as they're authored by AI. And they're clearly digital in nature, so wtf are people actually buying?

What we need is robust decentralized multimodal energy production fit for the local area where it is installed and contributing to a well maintained distributed grid with multiple redundancies and sufficient storage so that incidental costs are minimized and uptime is effectively 100%. Energy is a tool and its generation is a category of tools, whining about people developing a better screwdriver rather than only using hammers is counterproductive when we're trying to build a house for as many people as possible that doesn't fucking kill everyone.

I don't think Gillis is pro-Trump from clips I've seen over the last ~6 months? Maybe I'm wrong, but I get the impression he's just deeply apathetic. Theo Von I honestly dunno--and I'm not entirely sure he knows because I think he's just kind of dumb guy (but relatively aware of it, in contrast to Rogan).

If you are "torn" on whether it is a good thing to grant a wealthy campaign donor unfettered and unquestionably illegal access to government and bureaucratic infrastructure, with zero accountability or oversight, and who has displayed absolutely zero competence at managing any public institution (and in fact has a record of incompetence at managing private enterprises), then I honestly think you're one of the millions of Americans who just needs to fuck off and stop contributing to adult decision-making. You're simply not up to the task.

I'm an IP attorney whose been pretty specialized in ML-enabled technologies for a decade now, and have worked in-house for fortune 500 companies so I'm pretty familiar with how these queries are often handled, especially at multinats. There honestly probably isn't someone in your legal with all three of seniority, understanding and keeping up with the legal nuances, and understanding of the underlying technologies. The overlap in my experience is few and far between.

Well, also if the guy was just dumping AI generated code arbitrarily into your product, that pretty significantly risks the copyright over the entire product into which the generated stuff was integrated (meaning, anyone can do whatever the fuck they want with it).

Are you actively having a stroke? You were pretty politely informed and corrected and nowhere in the above responses were you attacked in anything but the most mild and tame interpretation of the word.

No, it really and very obviously is not.

This is one of like less than half a dozen Republican state senators. It's almost certainly going absolutely nowhere. That said, I often get pissed at our fairly conservative democratic state legislators, but god damn do I forget how fucking stupid the other side of the isle is in our state, when I'm not forgetting about them in general as the utterly irrelevant voice they are.

No, the best choice would have been to empower the one party that actually has, albeit often ignored but nevertheless significant, pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist members as part of its membership. And then to focus on improving that party and/or breaking up the duopoly along the natural and clear lines of opportunity present in the sole big tent party that's left in US politics.

At the end of the day, there are no significant pro-Palestinian voices in the Republican party. There are in the Democratic party And that indisputable fact alone should inform a strategic vote.

That said, people are stupid and I don't really blame non- and 3rd party voters for Democrats losing and the resulting shit show-- blame and culpability falls squarely on the many people who actually specifically voted for this. But it would be nice if those people would try to learn from and admit their incredibly disastrous error in judgement.

I really do think that a war of bald faced imperial oligarchic aggression would trigger the collapse of the union.
