With music this often ends up in civil court. Pretty sure the same can in theory happen for written texts, but the commercial value of most written texts is not worth the cost of litigation.

That was literally in my post. Obviously, in that case the library pays for copyright

Another good question is why AIs do not mindlessly regurgitate source material. The reason is that they have access to so much copyrighted material. If they were trained on only one book, they would constantly regurgitate material from that one book. Because it’s trained on many (millions) books, it’s able to get creative. So the argument of OpenAI really boils down to: “we are not breaking copyright law, because we have used sufficient copyrighted material to avoid directly infringing on copyright”.

I know my way around the Jolly Roger myself. At the same time using copyrighted materials in a commercial setting (as OpenAI does) shouldn’t be free.

I am also not really getting the argument. If I as a human want to learn a subject from a book I buy it ( or I go to a library who paid for it). If it’s similar to how humans learn, it should cost equally much.

The issue is of course that it’s not at all similar to how humans learn. It needs VASTLY more data to produce something even remotely sensible. Develop AI that’s truly transformative, by making it as efficient as humans are in learning, and the cost of paying for copyright will be negligible.

The current generation of data hungry AI models with energy requirements of a small country should be replaced ASAP, so if copyright laws spur innovation in that direction I am all for it.

There’s a huge difference between day/night storage which is sufficient for most locations in the world that are somewhat closer to the equator, and seasonal storage. We have no good solution for seasonal storage at the moment.

It’s so ridiculous people get pissed over this. We are talking about Paris. They had royalty that were playing with sexuality and gender since the 1700s. When did we get so f*cking prude??

Translation to freedom unit? Asking for a friend.

What I get from this is that the most populous country in the world has essentially unliveable temperatures. And this is only the early parts of global warming. Scary times ahead.

If you want to become vice president, you should have a prepared answer for this right? Something like, I changed my mind after seeing how Trump handled X while being president, or after meeting him face to face. Sure those would also be lies, but at least you don’t look like a complete moron.

I guess you are joking but Boeing is a company of supreme national importance. If/when the government bails them out the government must get a majority stake in the company!

Google Scholared it. Nothing on the first page. Link or it didn’t happen.

Any evidence that this actually happened in Europe?

One issue is that in certain cultures men (sons) in particular are very strongly encouraged to become doctors even in they are not in medicine.

Two things can be true at the same time. You can call it hypocritical (and I’d agree), but nevertheless here we are.

Normally you can think of these prices as the reward to taking a risk. The chance of developing a drug and bringing it to market is usually small, and the reward should accordingly be high. However, in the particular case of Ozempic, the company attempted to develop a diabetes drug, and accidentally found that the drug works against obesity. That means that the reward in this case outweighs the risk by an obscene amount.

These systems can change as they have done everywhere except in the US. In most of Europe digital transfers are free and checks virtually nonexistent.

Israel falling would be a terrible outcome likely resulting in a mass genocide (the other way). The desirable outcome is for Israel to move out of Gaza and the occupied areas. That would also likely strengthen Israel both because it will strengthen their international reputation, and because it moves their troops out of danger.

I am also a bit lost as to why Swift would bring this suit. Most of her (work) trips are already public information, since being a public person is part of her job description. It’s a bit like the president complaining that we are tracking Airforce 1 when all news networks already report where he is going.
