The radium paint one is particularly bad because they told the workers (mostly women) to give their brush a fine tip using their mouth.

I buy my chips directly from China when I can. The fact is, if I buy it from a distributor here, it comes from the same place but costs a stupid amount more. I’m talking about opamps that are 80 cents from China but 30 dollars on digikey.

The US has a greedy middle man issue. I think bringing up home grown production is good for security reasons but I know someone’s buddy is going to get all the profit and we won’t actually have competitive prices.

Making a prototype of something is bloody expensive already, even when dealing directly with China.

Reddit and newspapers selling their data preemptively has to do with LLMs. Can you clarify what scenario you are aiming for? It sounds like you want the courts to rule that AI companies need to ask each individual redditor if they can use his comments for training. I don’t see this happening personally.

Getty gives itself the right to license all photos uploaded and already trained a generative model on those btw.

They won’t need to, they will get it from Getty. All these websites have a ToS that make it very clear they can do whatever they want with what you upload. The courts will simply never side with the small time photographer who makes 50$ a month with his stock photos hosted on someone else’s website. The laws will be in favor of databrokers and the handful of big AI companies.

Anyone self hosting will simply not get a call. Journalists will keep the same salary while the newspaper’s owner gets a fat bonus. Even Reddit already sold it’s data for 60 million and none of that went anywhere but spezs coke fund.

If we can’t train on unlicensed data, there is no open-source scene. Even worse, AI stays but it becomes a monopoly in the hands of the few who can pay for the data.

Most of that data is owned and aggregated by entities such as record labels, Hollywood, Instagram, reddit, Getty, etc.

The field would still remain hyper competitive for artists and other trades that are affected by AI. It would only cause all the new AI based tools to be behind expensive censored subscription models owned by either Microsoft or Google.

I think forcing all models trained on unlicensed data to be open source is a great idea but actually rooting for civil lawsuits which essentially entail a huge broadening of copyright laws is simply foolhardy imo.

Sexy cop stripper costume banned.

All video generation models are heavily trained on YouTube. YouTube and Hollywood are essentially the only datasets.

It was more of an opinion piece. They were already being sued and he didn’t bring any new info forward from what I understand.

Using debit cards to buy things? I don’t get what you mean. Convenient?

In any case, there are numerous uncensored open source options you can run on your own computer or a rented GPU online, and there are already multiple Loras on civit.ai of him. A Lora is an adapter you can put on a model that teaches it what the subject looks like.

Tailgating and driving fast in parking lots. Some people just do these out of habit, it drives me nuts.

We need a black market gofundme so we can crowd source hits to keep up.

He won’t be paying for it in either case, someone will pick this up pro-bono.

At this point, I don’t even think they want to catch him anymore. He’s already being talked about as a hero, throwing him in jail would make him a martyr. People would protest at the trial too, it would be a mess.

I had a zombie dream but the weird part was when I got bit and didn’t wake up. I ended up turning into the undead and the dream went from nightmare to fun as I chased people and ate them. Eating the flesh part was very vivid.

It’s a shame I wasn’t in therapy because I bet that would have been a joy to unravel.

Imo, the main problem is that it does the job for you and you don’t learn anything. It’s great at explaining concepts though.

Along the same lines, I would suggest to never copy/paste code. Physically writing it helps your brain remember.

I agree and I think there isn’t much of an effort being made, but investing in it seems like it’s making an effort in the wrong direction.

Huge difference between not being able to afford the right thing, and being able to afford the right thing and instead investing in the really bad thing.

Kind of like how I have to gas up but I would never invest in the oil industry.

The amount of people defending this is weird, 16 is way too young. That being said, there isn’t much you can do as his parent. Even if you do manage to break them up, he will always blame you and think of the “what ifs”.

Aiming for a theocratic regime would let you swing into “I am your God now” territory.

I say it was my own experience?
