What pirate bay is doing isn't exactly transformative. I pirate most of my media and can't say I'm not for better copyright laws and a better treatment of pirate bay, I just think the situations are different.

I don't think saying "if pirate bay is illegal, so should training ai without compensations" is exactly fair. (I wish the actual people contributing could be compensated, but how it's set up, we would be giving a few companies a monopoly while compensating mostly data aggregators.)

Reforms don't have to be pro-corporate slop.

Sadly, the media and most of the population is practically begging for it. When you couple that with the pressure exerted by record companies, publishing houses, etc, it is clear those are the reforms we get if any.

Ya, they also have a massive wall and complex defense systems to take down missile. There is literally no threat. It's almost like it's just an excuse to kill civilians.

I show her my card collection.

In our current society, little people can get away with it. I can take whatever style I want and train a model on it. There's already many ghibli ressources in the open source scene, and a lot of them date from 2 years ago.

This whole situation is rage bait to manipulate the population into cheering for new copyright laws so politicians get little push back when they start writing pro-corporate laws regarding AI.

I understand the sentiment but I think it's foolhardy.

• The job losses still occur
• The handful of companies able to pay for the data have a defecto monopoly (Google, OpenAI)
• That monopoly is used to keep the price tag of state of the art AI tools above consumer levels (your boss can afford to replace you but you can't afford to compete against him with the same tools).

And all that mostly benefiting the data holders and big ai companies. Most image data is on platforms like Getty, Deviant Art, Instagram, etc. It's even worse for music and lit, where three record labels and five publishers own most of it.

If we don't get a proper music model before the lawsuits pass, we will never be able to generate music without being told what is or isn't okay to write about.

I think it will be punished, but not how we hope. The laws will end up rewarding the big data holders (Getty, record labels, publishers) while locking out open source tools. The paywalls will stay and grow. It'll just formalize a monopoly.

It shouldn't be much of a problem using a gibli based model with img2img. I personally use forge as my main ui, models can be found on civitai.com . It's easily possible, you just need a bit of vram and setting it up is more work. You might get more mileage by using controlnet in conjunction with img2img.

It is scary the amount of people in this thread that actually think art is defined by how it is made, and not the emotions and thoughts it elicits.

I'm not sure if grok is winning here but Lilly is definitely losing.

The responsable thing would be to put a rule stating her picture and personal information must be blurred. Its a harassment campaign and the community you created is essentially amplifying it.

You can print out cards in physical TCG and put them in your deck as well. You can't sell virtual cards but they are also free for the most part.

I think regular TCG with its 8$ boosters is much worse. I had a lot more fun playing MTG arena without spending a dime then the hundreds I put into the physical cards while playing once in a blue moon with them.

Same can't be said for the snacks though. Highway robbery, I tell ya.

The Hollywood business model is coming to an end.

"X", I only need to tap it three times to get what I want.

FOSTA-SESTA, short for the "Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act" and the "Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act," are U.S. laws passed in 2018 aimed at combating online sex trafficking.

If anyone else was curious.

No, canada is definitely not christofascist, I just assume everyone lives within ten miles of me at all times, sorry.

That aside this is a welcome sign not Sharia law.

That is true. It does seem a bit petty in a way. I'm not really ready to criticize but I wouldn't have seen them as going against their own laws if they would have kept it. I sorely dislike all religions but this is the definition of inoffensif.

It only seems extreme because we live in a christo-fascist state. I'm also only talking about when the state is involved. This would be fine on a private building, sorry if I wasn't clear.

I think it goes deeper then that. Secularism means complete disconnection of church and state. Having religious symbols on state buildings goes against that. Religious symbols are a form of propaganda in the end.

I would be okay with making an exception for the head scarf. Tbh I don't really consider it much of a symbol but I understand their reaction to it. I wish we had similar laws where I am, instead my kids get to learn about creationism (I'm just guessing it's still taught, I don't actually have kids).

Any religious representation [on govermental buildings] is offensive to secularism. A cross is just two over lapping lines but it would also be offensive in this context. Although the word offensive is a bit much, I'll give you that, I can understand why they want it gone.

It is a shame that secularism seems to disproportionately target Muslim women but it's either a religious symbol or it isn't.

Edit: Clarified first sentence.

Children of time had a lot of this. One factions technology is mostly based on natural processes. Their most complicated computer systems are ant based if I remember well. Great book.
