Thank you very much for summoning Jeff Goldblum’s voice into my head.

I think that the argument is that it’s not actually copying it and instead learning from it.
I feel like they really have to pay something. Maybe their argument is right and they shouldn’t pay full price given that if a human did the same thing to learn to make music, they also wouldn’t be billed in that way, given it’s openly available.
Maybe they are required to give a portion of profits back to the source materials creators?
The purpose of the copyright system is that someone should not be allowed to take your material and sell it to someone else passing it off as your own and make the profit thereby stealing the profit from you. I don’t think that’s what’s happening here but also at the same time it doesn’t seem like what they’re doing is right because they’re making profit off of somebody else’s work without paying anything.
It feels to me like the answer should be somewhere in the middle.
I certainly don’t have the answers though.
For them I don’t think it matters. I think the whole goal is to have further awareness and having people burning time on it like we’re doing right now brings more awareness to the issue regardless what side you’re on. They believe their side is just so that it will win out in general and bringing further awareness and making people think about it can only be a good thing.
Tl;Dr: awareness.
I believe the end goal is to cause conversations like the above.
It’s got quite the story… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TempleOS
I’m too chicken.
I’m in. This world desperately needs an information workers union. Someone to cover those poor fuckers in the help desk and desktop support as well as the engineers and architects that keep all of this shit running.
Those of us that aren’t underpaid are treated poorly. Today is what it looks like if everybody strikes at once.
I wish you were right. I really wish you were. I don’t think you are. I’m not trying to be a contrarian but I don’t think for a large number of organizations that this is the case.
For what it’s worth I truly hope that I’m 100% incorrect and everybody learns from this bullshit but that may not be the case.
Lol not too sure you’re joking though.
… Such a beautiful stick and all I could think was “watch out for cops.”
I just admitted to remembering working with Windows 3.11 for networking…
Also, being technically correct is the best kind of correct I’ll have you know ;)
It’s what Windows search could have been. I don’t know what kind of black magic they’ve got under the hood there but I think it’s really just indexing and watching the file system for changes so that it can update the index in real time. This obviously doesn’t work for a network resources that change frequently but still, it’s very nice when you don’t know where the hell anything is.
The everything search engine is flexible and fully indexed file search engine that you can use to find any file anywhere on your network or local storage, instantly, and only a little bit slower than instantly on a very slow old machine.
Not always.
In other news, I feel old.
I happily concede!
Papa John’s makes me profoundly ill. Maybe because it’s made with all that hate.
A collage would be fair use, yes I believe that’s already been established but again I’m not like a copyright lawyer or anything like that. I’ll leave that for others to research and prove in the courtroom.
I would say that your first example, as it file is not really accurate but the collage may be more so. It’s a statistical model that calculates statistically what a thing should be. Is it learning? Maybe maybe not.
