This is actually reasonable. If you explained it this way in the first place maybe people would have stopped being pissy and taken you seriously. Before this comment your position seemed flimsy, but comparing it to racist practice made it make a lot more sense.

While I don't agree with the idea that isolating someone from women on a plane will make them rape someone else somewhere else, I think your point about alienation driving extreme views is very pertinent. The more you try to vilify a group the more that group will try and make it a self-fulfiling prophecy, or otherwise go against the people vilifying them.

Unless you already have prions from CJD you can't catch Kuru by eating yourself. You have to actually eat someone who already has prions to catch it. Even then you have to eat nervous system tissue to be at a significant risk.

How is this any way self-harm? To be clear we aren't talking about growing a whole person here as you seem to be confused. We are talking about a few cells in a petri dish or vat. This is all just psychobabble nonsense. You're the one here who shouldn't be in polite society.

Yes and no. You get prions from eating a person that's also infected with prions. Basically if you eat cloned meat of yourself it should be fine as you either already have prions, or you don't already have prions. Prions manifest as either CJD if you got it naturally or Kuru if you got it through canibalism.

What ThinkPad is this?

I think that has more to do with your system and the quality of Bluetooth audio than it does the specific game or application.

I think they are saying that preventing open source models being trained and released prevents people from using them. Trying to make training these models more difficult doesn't just affect businesses, it affects individuals too. Essentially you have all been trying to stand in the way of progress, probably because of fears over job security. It's not really different to being a luddite.

And where exactly is that funding coming from?

I am sure they would. I am equally sure most would fail without significant funding.

I think you need to add another new line to this comment.

Who exactly is going to pay for it's development in their stead? Developing firefox is an enormous ongoing technical project akin to building the Linux kernel. Someone has to pay or it won't get done to the standard it needs to be done.

NixOS isn't immutable though. It runs on normal writable ext4 by default.

Also, you say it's more reliable but you can get bugs in anything. Version x.y.z of the kernel can have bugs whether it's distributed as part of an immutable core or as a package.

The whole point is you can roll back if something breaks.

It starts getting blurry when you get to things like systemd and over-reaching when it gets to desktop functionality.

Systemd is a core part of the system as init always has been.

Honestly though I don't think you actually understand the difference between declarative and immutable distros. Unlike what some people think they aren't actually the same thing. It would be nice if people stopped limping them together.

This exactly. The reason people left reddit is because of the actions of the people running the site, not the user base or culture.

There are already anti-AI licenses out there. If you didn't license your stuff with that in mind that's on you. Deep learning models have been around for a lot longer than GPT 3 or anything that's happened in the current news cycle. They have needed training data for that long too. It was predictable stuff like this would happen eventually, and if you didn't notice in time it's because you haven't been paying attention.

You don't get to dictate what's right and wrong. As far as I am concerned all copyright is wrong and dumb, but the law is what the law is. Obviously not everyone shares my opinion and not everyone shares yours.

Whether an artist is involved or not it's still a transformative use.

I am not equating humans with computers. These businesses are not selling people's data when doing AI training (unlike actual data brokers). You can't say something AI generated is a clone of the original anymore than you can say parody is.

Also the way you imply children can't be intelligent is disgusting.

How intelligent it is or isn't is irrelevant. We talk about much dumber programs than AI as being consumers of files and data including things like compilers. Would it not be person use for you to view a picture in a photo viewer or try and edit it in GIMP?

It's not data theft at all unless the courts and law says it is. Ranting on lemmy won't change that fact. Theft is a construct of law.

You can add clauses against use as AI training data to your licence if you wish.

A program of machine can be a consumer of something, although if you want to be technical you could say the person using the machine is the consumer. In actual computer science we talk about programs consuming things all the time.

Others have mentioned existing efforts to form reproducible results. So, this might be irrelevant now; but I’m fairly sure if the mindset was “open source compilers are always better than extremely expensive ones”, the expensive ones wouldn’t have a reason to exist.

Actually their reason to exist is that some software and hardware platforms don't have a real open source alternative.

I have a friend who works with some of these compilers, and also with low level assembly language and stuff. He tells me most of the closed source compilers he works with are way behind the open source ones including Microsoft's compiler. I've seen some evidence of this myself too. The reason people use the Microsoft one is because it integrates better with the Windows APIs and Visual Studio, or just because they don't know better. I believe Microsoft even have an initiative to integrate LLVM into Visual Studio because they know how bad their compiler is in comparison. Since it's by a large company specialising in systems software theirs is probably one of the better examples.

In the Apple ecosystem they use LLVM for C and C++. The only stable Rust compiler afaik is LLVM based, though they are working on their own alternative which will also be open source.
