Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.
To comply with copyright law, not to skirt it. That’s what companies that scan large numbers of books do. See for example Authors Guild v. Google from back when Google was scanning books to add to their book search engine. Framing this like it’s some kind of nefarious act is misleading.
What do you mean, “test the sturdiness of American alliances?” All this does is destroy the sturdiness of those alliances.
It’s at http://127.0.0.1:5001/. It’s my sex box, though. And her name is Sony.
This is why I only confess my crimes to my local LLM.
A short-sighted self-sabotaging strategy. How appropriate to the subject at hand.
For folks who are lamenting that the Canada/US relationship has cratered because Trump was reelected, this is something that’s been an ongoing problem since 1982. Canada has been on the “abused” side of this relationship for a long time, it’s just sighed and endured it until now.
No, what I had in mind was an ironic response to someone who didn’t know his history, which would have told him why the whole idea of a “voting exam” was a bad one.
Perhaps the exam should have included a section on the history of civil rights and voting suppression in the United States.
I don’t often use the word “cringe”, but IMO this warrants it. This silliness is going to discredit attempts at serious conversation.
Well, direct your ire at the EU for that, I suppose. I’m just pointing out that calling for massive retribution against Meta isn’t warranted here.
the social media giant will not sign the European Union’s voluntary AI code of practice.
Emphasis added. If the result of not signing a voluntary code of practice is massive fines and IP blocks, was it really “voluntary?”
I know the pitchforks are sharp and the torches are burning especially hot right now, but just yesterday those implements were being aimed at the payment processors that were once again throwing their weight around to censor the services that used them, in this latest case Steam. A bill like this one would help enable stablecoin alternatives to those payment processors to become more widespread. There may be some pieces of baby in this bathwater.
My main concern after reading about this bill in a bit more detail is that it doesn’t look very friendly for decentralized stablecoins, which I prefer over the centralized ones. But it’s a start. It seems to just ignore the decentralized ones, it doesn’t actually prohibit or hinder them.
There’s already been a summary judgment in this case ruling that the AI training activity was not by itself copyright violation.
