Hey everyone! We have this skyscraper sized tank of hydrogen and oxidizer! Who wants to sit on top when we light it on fire?

You mean legally? Yeah, no problem. It depends on the location, though. In the EU, the rights-holder can opt out. So if you want to do it in the EU you have to pay off Reddit, Meta, and so on. In Japan, it's fine regardless. In the US, it should turn out similarly, but it's up to the courts to work out the details, and it's quite up in the air if you can trust the system to work.

The usual tends to be that the platform can do basically whatever. That shouldn't really be surprising. But I see your point. If you literally want consent, not just legally licensed material, then you need more than just a clause in the TOS.

You could raise the same issue with permissively licensed material. People who released it may not have foreseen AI training as a use, and might not have wanted to actually allow it.

For example. Bear in mind that each animal needs to figure that out on its own as it grows up. Have you heard about humans who are unable to feel pain? Very rare congenital condition. Doctors remove their baby teeth or else they will chew up their tongue and mouth. That's the sort of thing you need to think about.

A number of animals, birds especially, swallow rocks to help them grind up food in their intestine.

It's important to not destroy your teeth. For wild animals, that means starvation. Given that you can't have nerves right in the enamel, it makes sense to have nerves lower down and make them very sensitive. I have the pet theory that we evolved to hate that teeth grinding sound for exactly the same reason.

If those nerves were vestigial, they really should have disappeared by now.

For images, yes. Most notable is probably Adobe. Their AI, which powers photoshop's generative fill among other things, is trained on public domain and licensed works.

For text, there's nothing similar. LLMs get better the more data you have. So, the less training data you use, the less useful they are. I think there are 1 or a few small models for research purposes, but it really doesn't get you there.

Of course, such open source projects are tricky. When you take these extreme, maximalist views of (intellectual) property, then giving stuff away for free isn't the obvious first step.

Hmm. Something about it feels just wrong to me. I'm fairly sure, though, that it's a gut feeling and nothing logical. Because teeth on the outside? Because sensory organs in teeth? IDK.

It does?

Big fail. That has grenadine in it, which is non-alcoholic.

So, how do you make a TS? I'm guessing it starts with breaking an egg.

That won an Ig Nobel, IIRC.

And quartz, of course.

"Instance" is programmer lingo. Roughly, it's when you have the same piece of code running multiple times with different values (as part of the same system). More narrowly, "instance" is used in the context of classes. All lemmy instances run the lemmy code but with different users, admins, and so on. The expression makes perfect sense, but it is not used in a formal way.

A lemmy instance runs a web server. Wikipedia says that when you host a web page under a dedicated domain name, you have a website.

Instead of being silly, why don't you just correct your disinformation and be done with it? Why these games?

so you think that an automated account like, say “no-reply@amazon.com”, is somehow personal data?

No. I don't know why you would believe that.

So, what you are telling me, is that you are an IT professional working in Europe, and in your considered opinion, emails don't fall under GDPR if you don't provide your phone number or something. And that totally doesn't sound like a joke. Is that about right?

Yeah... That Springsteen guy...

Why does he keep shouting that he was born in the USA? That's what people shout when ICE nabs them off the street.

And what about that brother of his in Khe San? Where has that guy gone to? Someone ought to get to the bottom of that.

I still don't get where all this disinformation comes from. What do you mean by "the GDPR website"? Are you under the impression that the linked website is somehow official? Even so, the information seems solid and shouldn't give you these ideas.

A user is typically a natural person. A username identifies that person. Any information that is directly or indirectly linked to that username is thus personal data of that person. The GDPR explicitly gives "online identifier" as an example of an identifier. I did link to the official repository, which hosts translation in all European languages. Each translation can be reached with 1 click. It cannot be a language issue. I do not understand what the problem could be.

The personal data in the OP (consent options) are linked to a person via a cookie stored in their browser. I do not understand how one could make sense of the case without understanding what personal data is.

There also appears to be some confusion between GDPR and copyright. I do not know where these strange ideas come from.

Changing the subject. I take that as a sign that you understand how absurd your pontifications about the GDPR were. That's great. I was able to help you. You're welcome. However, it's problematic that you chose to leave up incorrect info.

Now, you are not being truthful about what I wrote, so I do not think that it's a good use of my time to lay out the issues here. If, at some point in the future, you are genuinely interested and able to behave like a responsible adult, we can talk about this.
