I don't see why it wouldn't be able to. That's a Big Data problem, but we've gotten very very good at searches. Bing, for instance, conducts a web search on each prompt in order to give you a citation for what it says, which is pretty close to what I'm suggesting.
As far as comparing to see if the text is too similar, I'm not suggesting a simple comparison or even an Expert Machine; I believe that's something that can be trained. GANs already have a discriminator that's essentially measuring how close to generated content is to "truth." This is extremely similar to that.
I completely agree that categorizing input training data by whether or not it is copyrighted is not easy, but it is possible, and I think something that could be legislated. The AI you would have as a result would inherently not be as good as it is in the current unregulated form, but that's not necessarily a worse situation given the controversies.
On top of that, one of the common defenses for AI is that it is learning from material just as humans do, but humans also can differentiate between copyrighted and public works. For the defense to be properly analogous, it would make sense to me that it would need some notion of that as well.
I know it inherently seems like a bad idea to fix an AI problem with more AI, but it seems applicable to me here. I believe it should be technically feasible to incorporate into the model something which checks if the result is too similar to source content as part of the regression.
My gut would be that this would, at least in the short term, make responses worse on the whole, so would probably require legal action or pressure to have it implemented.
I think breaking the illusion would remove the concept of "blame" or vindictiveness from the judicial system, but not punishment. If a cog is broken in your watch, you remove it and get it fixed. You don't remove it as punishment because the cog chose to misbehave, you do it because it's necessary to get a fully working clock. Bringing it back to the court example, you put them in jail, not as punishment, but to protect society, rehabilitate, and/or set an example for others.
That fits the kind of use case I would want from something in addition to the Deck. That said, I don't know this is the form factor I'd want; what I'd love is something that could actually fit in my pocket like a Gameboy. This seems like it'd be a bit big for that.
That's true, I should have been more careful with my use of the word "rights." What I meant regarding free will was whether or not they'd have all the same rights as a human. The Animal Welfare Act I think is a good example of where we convey a more limited set of rights to things which can experience pain, but don't have free will*.
This is obviously all super debatable and opinions vary, but I think there are at least a decent chunk of people who believe humans have free will and animals do not, Descarte being a famous example.
That would be correct, the judge and jury have no more choice than the murderer, which is none. Hypothetically, the appearance of choice doesn't mean there is choice or free will. As a slightly tortured analogy, like "perfect" loaded dice, which appear that they could be anything but always give the same result.
Just wanted to plug in case you weren't already aware, isthereanydeal is a pretty great one stop shop for looking for sales across a ton of storefronts. Pretty easy to import a steam wishlist to it as well.
I definitely agree there, as most philosophical subjects don't really matter in a real sense. To me, though, this has some real implications regarding (pretty far in the future) AI development. If we were to say/prove humans have free will, that would be a potential bar to clear for when an "entity" is entitled to rights. It's all largely arbitrary, though, as (at least in the US) we aren't super rigorous to which animals are entitled to which rights. For instance, the Animal Welfare, which regulates when you have to use anesthesia, defines animals as
Animal means any live or dead dog, cat, nonhuman primate, guinea pig, hamster, rabbit, or any other warmblooded animal, which is being used, or is intended for use for research, teaching, testing, experimentation, or exhibition purposes, or as a pet. This term excludes birds, rats of the genus Rattus, and mice of the genus Mus, bred for use in research; horses not used for research purposes; and other farm animals, such as, but not limited to, livestock or poultry used or intended for use as food or fiber, or livestock or poultry used or intended for use for improving animal nutrition, breeding, management, or production efficiency, or for improving the quality of food or fiber. This term also excludes falconry. With respect to a dog, the term means all dogs, including those used for hunting, security, or breeding purposes
The article is only talking about federal as well. The IRS doesn't do anything with state taxes, so that'll probably still cost money unless your state makes their own free solution.
Highly recommend the Linux Programming Interface by Michael Kerrisk. Other books I've read will maybe give a sentence or to into a kernel feature, or maybe "here's how you use it," but this one goes further into "here's how it works."
I tried throwing it into Bing's AI and it gave me:
Hello, this is Bing. I searched the web for books that match your description and found some possible candidates. Here they are:
The Time Travelers (The Gideon Trilogy, #1) by Linda Buckley-Archer¹. This book is about two children who accidentally travel back to 1763 and meet a young thief named Gideon. They encounter various dangers and adventures in the past, including highwaymen, alchemists, and a mysterious machine that can manipulate time. The book has elements of magic, history, and science fiction.
The Emerald Atlas (The Books of Beginning, #1) by John Stephens². This book is about three orphaned siblings who discover a magical book that can transport them to different times and places. They end up in a frozen land where an evil witch rules over dwarves, giants, and other creatures. They must use the book to stop the witch and find their parents. The book has elements of fantasy, adventure, and humor.
The Magician's Nephew (The Chronicles of Narnia, #6) by C.S. Lewis³. This book is a prequel to the famous Narnia series and tells the story of how the magical world was created. Two children, Digory and Polly, use a pair of magic rings to travel to different worlds, including a dying one where they awaken an evil queen. They also witness the birth of Narnia and meet its first inhabitants, including talking animals, fauns, and dwarves. The book has elements of fantasy, allegory, and Christian themes.
Is that by hours played on steam deck, or hours played for games that are steam deck verified? The Witcher 3 would be a surprise for me there; it runs on the deck, but to me not well enough to be properly enjoyable
Could you explain to me how "if someone wants to use my work, they should pay me for it" could be perceived as racketeering, let alone "textbook?"
