This place is not a place of honor.

Of course not. That went away when you decided to start dropping the letter U from words. Like Honour....

I'm honestly shocked that people manage to find a McDonald's with a functioning milkshake machine often enough to turn it into a tradition

Soooo....yer saying we should drop nukes?

Every accusation is actually an admission. Just like with the American Right.

Arguably that's exactly what the current Alberta government already is....

Technically a grey area. How many humans do you see here posting walls of text and putting the attribution at the very top, if the attribution is different from their username of course.

Maybe not a post joke world, but certainly one where Onion articles are more believable than real ones....

Exactly, I was trying to make that point, and specifically looked at Meta and the current "Torrenting is only Illegal if you seed" bs defence they're using. Which was completely ignored by our friend over there.

Sure, cool...coolcoolcool....

So how about the ongoing lawsuit where there's been hard evidence of Meta torrenting terabytes of data, and then claiming it's not illegal because they didn't seed?

And that's literally only for people who posted on FB or Instagram or whatever other garbage data mines Meta are operating. The above is what I was talking about. The highly public trial that relates specifically to torrenting data illegally to train an LLM. That's what I was talking about. Whoever got fucked by Meta's T&C's to train their AI are SoL, which is why I didn't mention any training they were doing on their platforms specifically.

I personally believe there could be a place in a person's creative workflow for the use of AI as a tool to enhance their own creative work....with caveats....

As for the ethics of using AI to copy and art style? It's theft. End of.

These models are trained on stolen data. The artists/musicians/writers/intellectuals, or their estates, never gave permission for their works to be used to train these models. They never receive royalties, or payment of any kind, for the use of their works. And as we're finding out, at the very least, Meta took that data...those creative works... illegally. People's lives have been destroyed by laws put in place to protect IP. I personally feel those laws are fucked and should be fully scrapped in favour of something that actually protects the people creating these works. That doesn't change the fact that when Joe Shmoe shares a torrent he could be hit with fines and possibly jail. Fines alone could essentially make a person's life literal hell for however long they have left. The companies who have trained these models are likely going to get a "cost of doing business" slap on the wrist.

It's ethically ambiguous if you look at it from the standpoint of "IP law shouldn't exist" while totally ignoring that even if these companies get away with it common people nearly never will.

it's very painless

Sure. If there's nothing that may come to light that would bar you from qualifying. Which I obviously can't prove, but still get the niggling suspicion that _pp probably has at least one background item that would disqualify him from obtaining security clearance.

Well....shit... that's cool!

I legit had about a minute of existential crisis trying to get my under-caffeinated brain to dredge up if the Beaverton was satire or not....I don't like it. I hate that I can't find the humour in this article.

So THAT'S why he didn't want to get security clearance?

I assume they meant in that group.

Well...if he didn't, then the enemy couldn't possibly be both unstoppable and incredibly weak at the same time.

It can, but I'd like to see what it's doing instead of just out and out blocking it. Still going to block it, just want to know who all it's calling home to.

There an app I can run on android that'd log that?

That.......is something I'd not tried yet....hmmmm. I'll try it tonight and get back

Even if the petition falls short of the 40% it's a strong message. Absolutely worth doing regardless of the outcome.
