  • Your last paragraph would be ideal solution in ideal world but I don't think ever like this could happen in the current political and economical structures.

    First its super easy to hide all of this and enforcement would be very difficult even domestically. Second, because we're in AI race no one would ever put themselves in such disadvantage unless its real damage not economical copyright juggling.

    People need to come to terms with these facts so we can address real problems rather than blow against the wind with all this whining we see on Lemmy. There are actual things we can do.

  • But the actual process of an AI system distilling from thousands of written works to be able to produce its own passages of text qualified as “fair use” under U.S. copyright law because it was “quintessentially transformative,” Alsup wrote.

    Thats the actual argument and the judge is right here. LLMs are transformative in every sense of the word. The technology is even called "transformers".

  • This is the notorious lawsuit from a year ago:

    a group of well-known writers that includes comedian Sarah Silverman and authors Jacqueline Woodson and Ta-Nehisi Coates

    The judge enforces that AI training is fair use:

    But the actual process of an AI system distilling from thousands of written works to be able to produce its own passages of text qualified as “fair use” under U.S. copyright law because it was “quintessentially transformative,” Alsup wrote.

    This is a second judgement of this type this week.

  • I'll be honest with you - I genuinely sympathize with the cause but I don't see how this could ever be solved with the methods you suggested. The world is not coming together to hold hands and koombayah out of this one. Trade deals are incredibly hard and even harder to enforce so free market is clearly the only path forward here.

  • Check out teaching programs in Thailand which is probably the most trans safe country in the world. If you're a native English speaker with teaching training you can get a work visa and a ~1k usd/mo job which is more than enough in this region and generally the organization hiring you handles everything including housing except the flight and initial embassy application.

    The trans culture here is ancient and thus a bit different though so you might need to familiarize with that first and see if its acceptable for you.

    Feel free to PM me for more info. I don't have particular experience here but I've seen people do this and I do live in Thailand almost full time now.

  • Peak ludites gathering here lmao

    I'd be willing to literally bet everything I own that AI will not be gone anytime soon. It's absurd to even think that we would ever go back to pre-llm world unless a world ending event happens.

  • Unpopular opinion but I don't see how it could have been different.

    • There's no way the west would give AI lead to China which has no desire or framework to ever accept this.
    • Believe it or not but transformers are actually learning by current definitions and not regurgitating a direct copy. It's transformative work - it's even in the name.
    • This is actually good as it prevents market moat for super rich corporations only which could afford the expensive training datasets.

    This is an absolute win for everyone involved other than copyright hoarders and mega corporations.

  • I have used chatgpt for early diagnostics with great success and obviously its not a doctor but that doesn't mean it's useless.

    Chatgpt can be a crucial first step especially in places where doctor care is not immediately available. The initial friction for any disease diagnosis is huge and anything to overcome that is a net positive.

  • Just some stupid doom bait.

    If it would get to cable cutting between US and Europe then we have much bigger problems than slow web apps. If Europe would ever get to that it definitely has enough cloud providers for essential services. Around 90% of all bandwidth is entertainment.

  • I've stopped contributing on Reddit a long time ago and only visit niche communities as a news feeds mostly.

    I've actually been working on scraping powered rss feed generator of my own to avoid visiting reddit all together but turns out its a bit more than a weekend project to put all of the pieces together.
