You are advocating for the exact same crimes being inflicted on the Palestinian people. Collective indiscriminate "punishment" is abhorrent no matter what.
Just noticed your reply and want to correct this. Anyhropic settled, the 1.5bil was not a judgment against them. Specifically, this covered the literal pirating of the training corpus. It had absolutely nothing to do with the way training on the data handled the training data--they literally torrented an enormous portion of their training corpus.
Anthropoc DID try to argue that because they used the pirated material for training a model, it was fair use. The judge correctly decided that doesn't make any fucking sense. Again, this is not about the models encoding data, it is literally just about the fact that these silly fucks torrented vast portions of their training corpus like college students building a porn library on college broadband.
Anthropic pirating books for their training corpus resulted in the biggest copyright settlement in history--well over a billion. That is still being quibbled over i believe, but they settled because they were likely to pay out more if the case went forward. So I'm not really sure where you're coming from that infringement via torrenting does not result in monstrously large liability.
Copyright is an intellectual property right, firmly grounded in property law doctrine--you are probably thinking of trademark, which is rooted in consumer protection law, or likeness rights which have their roots in privacy law.
The copyrightability of AI generated content gets to where the nexus of creativity happens. Effectively, image generators (modern ones--i actually don't think DABUS is a diffusion model) are operated like a commissioned work. The user gives detailed instruction on par with what you might see in a commissioned work, and the creative event occurs when the "contractor" interprets that into the work. The copyright may be assigned or it may be licensed, in any case, the initial copyright holder is the contractor--or in our case, the model. Now, it is well established that only humans can have sua sponte property rights, including intellectual property right. Those can be assigned, licensed, etc., but they must first inher to a human and so an AI system literally has no copyright to assign, were it even able to engage in a contractual agreement to transfer said rights. As a result, no, there is no copyright in AI generated content and without a significant change in law there is unlikely to ever be any.
If he had sought to register the copyright under purely his own name, he would have been committing a fraud on the copyright office. This wasn't explicitly established at the time of his suit, but it has been very explicitly the case now for over a year. When registering copyright you must declare any AI-generated components. Failure, or refusal, to do so constitutes a fraud on the office and such fraud is sanctionable up to revoking the copyright in the work in its entirety, even if the AI-gen component was only partial. This is really important to note with software copyright and the kind of litigation we're likely to see wrt piracy in the future (i.e., defendant claims plaintiffs did not declare vibe coded components and thus committed a fraud on the office and should be sanctioned with full revocation of the right as a signal to other would-be claimants).
I would say using judeosupremacist or judeofascist is a fine way to describe Zionism. After all, yiddish newspapers in the 20s often compared it to "Hitlerism". But that is unrelated to the fact that "goy" is itself a completely neutral word simply denoting non-Jewish. You trying to turn a common and mundane word into a secret word to mean some sort of Zionism is not just fucking stupid, it's dangerous.
It's about an even split between mozrahi/sephardi and ashkenazi actually. Aside from this nonsense being another example of mizrahi, sephardi, and other Jewish heritage erasure, it also is as revisionist of ashkenazi history as actual Israeli propaganda. Moreover, it belies a complete misunderstanding of how population genetics work and significant markers that very much distinguish European Jews from their non-Jewish counterparts.
Worst of all, it doesn't fucking matter. The crime against Palestine isn't that the wrong ethnicity gets to be supremacist--its that it is ethnosupremacist in the first place.
A bunch of Arabic schools are calling their students taliban. Obviously they're islamofascist. Or maybe languages have words for things you poorly educated fuckwit.
Meanwhile, Republicans are actively trying to kill you. Both sidesism only makes sense when both are equivalent threats, which is clearly not the fucking case.
Every generation literally doesn't is the point? I do think the framing is bad, but the generational decrease, as a cohort, in attention spans, technical literacy, and skills competency has been a major worry for over a decade now. Computer science educators were sounding the alarm on this in the mid and late teens, for example.
DHS comprises more agencies than just ICE, like FEMA, so that's why I'm assuming they're trying to "compromise." That said, fuck it, DHS has always been an egregious consolidation of power and stain--and FEMA has been made totally useless anyhow.
I don't disagree, but doesn't change the fact it makes it even more challenging to potty train. But, yeah, our daycare workers make barely anything and it's still around 40k/yr here for full time daycare at a good but average daycare. It's nuts.
Also, it's very difficult to get daycare to stick it out with you and once a child is in the 3-4 range, it becomes exponentially more difficult to modify bathroom habits. They will literally shit themselves just because you ask them to use a toilet at this stage.
When our kid had just turned 3, we had started making really solid progress finally. He was good with pee, starting to (slowly) get the hang of pooping, and would actually request to go to the bathroom before bedtime if he felt he needed to. Then daycare basically said they wouldn't deal with poopy training underwear anymore and bring him back with diapers, and all progress was lost. Now, nearly a year later, it feels like we're still clawing our way back to where we were.
Concealed carry is demonstrably more dangerous in every way for literally everyone. I honestly think it should be illegal to conceal carry, though I am not in favor of gun bans or the like.
It really wasn't. Heinlein did not write Starship Troopers as an aspirational piece of milscifi and, while he definitely had some questionable politics, my understanding is that he was effectively thinking aloud as he wrote the book.
LUCE absolutely does not support folks open carrying, or carrying at all, as backdrop to ICE events. Hell, as a policy, they do not even want people using whistles because it "escalates" and creates "chaos." That said, what LUCE DOES do is extraordinarily important and why I still organize with them even if I think their timidity wrt the above items is totally misguided.
Chevron can just throw meat and money (probably subsidized direct by the Trump admin) at a refinery as long as they need. Otoh, corporate offices are located in CA and TX apparently.
Jfc, it's so unfortunate his stroke was caught in time to save his Phineas Gage ass.
