I think for ongoing properties, it could create an interesting competition between different companies/artists, and I’d expect the original creators to fully cash in on “I’m the creator of [whatever], this is the real canon!” in order to keep loyal customers/fans

I fully expect game companies to not like this one bit, because live service games, like World of Warcraft or Fortnite, would, sooner or later, have to release source code in the public domain, allowing anyone to check it, create identical, better or worse clones or, worse, hacking tools that might still work on the more current version.

For stuff like the current offering of Adobe that relies so fucking much on “the cloud”, now that would be tricky and another significant battle, as they’d eventually have to give up the code for Illustrator, Photoshop, etc, as well as whatever server software their cloud uses, or point to said cloud’s owner. The same would apply for Autodesk, Corel, Microsoft, Apple and Google. Imagine finally having an open source Windows XP! 😆

EDIT: What is a lot more likely to become problematic is server-side bank software and some government software that is used for a country’s respective army or intelligence services. Boy, THOSE will definitely fight, or want a very specific clause for their cases, which makes sense.

Are you saying that the copyright is held too long?

I personally think so. 20-30 years for the authors would be enough, in my opinion. For company held copyright, it should be 8-12 years, counting from the date of creation - transferring the rights back to an individual would NOT give any extra time

That’d make basically every game and movie become public domain after a decade or so. If you applied 30 years of copyright to everything, nowadays we’d have public access to every game released up to 1994, which means the majority of the SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis catalogs.

Too bad any change wouldn’t apply retroactively, so we’d still have to wait for the 2030s to come by before 1940s stuff becomes public domain.

Google’s trying to find the guy responsible for all this

So, you’re telling me google search has gotten so bad it can’t even find info on its own workers?

To be fair, the actual article links to the paper and the real punch is that the research does not point to any of the many AI blunders made by google itself

Also, my personal highlight from the article

If you read the paper, you can’t help but conclude that the “misuse” of generative AI often sounds a lot like the tech is working as intended. People are using generative AI to make lots of fake content because it’s really good at doing that task, and consequently flooding the internet with AI slop.

Only because everyone’s on edge,

Wrong, everyone’s on chrome

I’ll see myself out, no need to shoot

Right now, probably typical computer SSD disks. Anything lasting more than that usually steps in office/corporate solutions, like magnetic tape backups

Googling around, I found out there are some “archival grade gold” DVDs, and a M-DISC (available as DVD or BluRay) that claims to last “centuries”. Haven’t seem anything on scratch or dust resistance about either

I guess current codecs can make miracles with 4GB of disk space

So, if you call an aussie a cunt, and the reply is “I’m not your focking cont, moyte!”, that’s a very aggressive fighting call, correct?

I’m not murican, I only know that the US supreme court has at least 9 justices. 3 is a significant number, but not a majority, and only half of the 6 votes that said “akshually, public officers receiving gifts after doing a favor isn’t bribery”

Truly, the best democracy money can buy. “This was the supreme court”, all of which was appointed by different presidents in different time periods, so a direct consequence of political will

It’ll fill you with gases

So, is a martini with the olive on top, a preparation rebel/igredient neutral or ingredient purist?

Multi-million by eliminating to the bathroom

My bet is most will go either with bluesky or threads, because “everyone is (moving) there”

But the banana shape! It’s a sleeeeeeeeeve!

Somehow, I imagined this conversation between mr. jeeniuz and the feds:

“It’s not bombs, officers, it’s just my MJ stash!”

“Oh, so you’re drug trafficking”

“Ye-NO!”

Fun fact, every capitalist dreams of taxing others for no reason, only they call it rent or subscription and won’t always deliver their end of the bargain.

The problem is that M$ likes to ensure that their stuff saved as docx won’t render properly when opened on libreoffice. Fonts, headers, position of tables, many things can look out of place because fuck you for not using MSOffice

Maybe OpenAI is hoping the cost of a couple million queries within a month will be offset once they start charging for it within a month or two.

I don’t think they can alter the number of likes received willy-nilly without attributing 1 like to 1 account, and I’m basing this thought on how a normal system would behave, as I suspect xitter still uses the equivalent of a select count(has_liked) from user_post_reaction where id_post = {whatever}; – Changing how a normal count of likes work, without attributing them to accounts, would easily fuck up xitter real hard.

Sure, melon himself wants to believe his own delusions, but there’s a lot of people that aren’t him and that don’t have access to the code, or the coders, and definitely want to find ways to abuse this.
