  • Biden says he'll shut down the border if deal gives him authority

  • Eh, but how much of that is tourist visas. And where are they coming from.

    I'm of the opinion that an open border with Mexico is an issue. Which just should not be controversial.

    But I'm also married to someone who entered with a tourism visa. Legal immigration is nearly impossible in the US. There are very very few options for a person to enter the country and be on a path to a green card. Saying otherwise is purely ignorant.

  • Nightshade, the free tool that ‘poisons’ AI models, is now available for artists to use

  • Honestly, it extends beyond creative works.

    OpenAI should not be held back from subscribing to a research publication, or buying college textbooks, etc. As long as the original works are not reproduced and the underlying concepts are applied, there are no intellectual property issues. You can't even say the commercial application of the text is the issue, because I can go to school and use my knowledge to start a company.

    I understand that in some select scenarios, ChatGPT has been tricked into outputting training data. Seems to me they should focus on fixing that, as it would avoid IP issues moving forward.

  • The issue is simply reproduction of original works.

    Plenty of people mimic the style of other artists. They do this by studying the style of the artist they intend to mimic. Why is it different when a machine does the same thing?

  • SpaceX targeting February for Starship's 3rd flight test

  • Not much. Reddit was left leaning, but Lemmy is liberal as fuck. I consider myself left leaning, but I can't stand the political bias here

  • It looks like you're just so engrained with hate for Musk that you're literally denying reality.

  • Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free

    Jump

  • It's worse than you think. As an advertiser, I can actually buy targeted product placements in shows. So, let's say I'm Google, and I know you recently searched for a Google Pixel. If I pay for product placements in the next Prime show, I can get all the phones to be Pixels when you watch it.

    But if your friend searched for an iPhone, and he gets targeted by apple, the phones in the show could be iPhones.

  • Nah, most of it is coming from Alibaba, but at a markup.

  • I had a car with push button start and a CVT. After putting the first 50 miles on the car, the brake light switch died. Nissan, in their ultimate wisdom, used the brake light switch to tell the computer if you are pressing the brake when starting the car. Well, no brake light switch, no starting the engine. Had to get it towed back to the dealership to get fixed.

    I now have a real key and a manual transmission.

  • [meme] How would you rather see this land developed?

    Jump

  • Nah. I'm sorry, but fuck apartments. I was spending $22k a year. Apartment complex did a crap job clearing snow in the winter. My neighbors were disgusting. I had to walk across the complex to get to my laundry room, where the machines rarely worked. The AC wall units were expensive to run, and did little to cool the apartment. The downstairs neighbor's front door slammed every time they closed it. The people next door would vacuum for an hour every night starting at 10pm. I got a $45 fine for hanging a beach towel over a chair on my balcony.

    I mean shit, they decided to renovate the apartment beneath me, and turned off my heat and left for the weekend in the middle of winter. They turned off my water multiple times with no notice making me late for work. And then the construction workers stole my package before heading home.

    I bought a house. Every time I pay my mortgage I build equity in my home. I have my own laundry room. I may have to clear the snow myself, but I have plenty of space to store a snow blower and shovels - something I could never do before. I can buy bulk sized non perishables too and save money, because I have plenty of space to store it. I can sleep at night without being awoken by my neighbors fucking to the sounds of Bob Marley. I can hang up a towel to dry without being fined for it. And if I need to do work, I can determine when or if the water is being turned off.

    Oh, and renewing my lease would have seen me paying almost as much in rent as my mortgage payment. For what?
