A) Most companies jumping on the AI bandwagon are training their own models.

B) The music industry has been legally using samples to create new songs since the 90’s.

AI is here to stay.

That’s not a requirement for everyone. And I don’t mind paying someone for their efforts.

Sync followed by Liftoff

Smart move. They also clearly understand that AI is here to stay and it’s better to embrace it rather than fight it. This will give Japan an unhindered advantage while the rest of the world cries over who allowed a computer to look at their artwork.

Like 15 years ago I bought the cheapest Brother laser printer. It’s still going strong. The ink never dries out or fucks up. I’ve never felt like the company was trying to rape my asshole. Why anyone still plays the ink jet game I do not fuckin know. I’ve boycotted HP decades ago and to this day I continue to see reasons to never change that decision.

Because GIF is horrible for 90% of what it’s used for these days.

Another cool feature is you can spoof your device’s name. This can allow you to install apps that daddy Google does not approve of for your device.

That’s not an Android problem, that’s a Google Play Services problem. You can run Android without all the Google bullshit.

Add to that, the way they are damned is typically by flickering them off and on aka Pulse width modulation. This is super common in LED strips.

I wish I could upvote you multiple times! This is the most accurate and well explained explaination of the current state of things. You nailed it about the assets too.

I tuned out when she said AI doesn’t create anything new.

I’m not sure what that’s even suppose to mean

I hear he likes beans

Fuck that I’ma just keep scrolling. If they want their community to grow they should at least put in the minimum effort of a description.

That’s not what I was responding to but in any case, no, I don’t think tiktok is a threat to national security or going to cause a war. This is FUD.

There are thousands of instances. I don’t understand why everyone is piling on to lemmy.world

This has happened to me the last two years on Amazon with Prime Day and Cyber Monday.

I’ll have a few expensive items on my wishlist that I’m monitoring and holding out on for a sale, only to see the price go up right before the sale.

I used to spend hundreds during those sales but after getting shat on for two years I no longer participate. All their marketing hype is wasted on me because I simply don’t believe them anymore. Amazon has lost my trust.

The majority of americans are fuckin stupid and believe whatever their TV programming tells them to believe.

Who said anything about war?? I’m staying “in this regard”, which is about privacy and data being taken and used by a government. Outside of that context yes I think the CCP is absolutely worse than the US in just about every category. There’s no question there.

Yes, yes I do. Also the CCP can’t ruin my life, unlike Uncle Sam. Deciding which one is more evil is irrelevant.

I believe they temporarily defederated while the hack situation got resolved.
