  • Don't expect iPhone apps to get cheaper now that you can pay for them outside of the App Store

  • There is no free lunch. Even if you aren’t paying for apps, you are still paying for them. Even FOSS apps, your share is just being paid for by the kindness of the developers or other community members who donate to fund development.

  • Teen deepfake victim pushes for federal law targeting AI-generated explicit content

    Jump

  • (d) Limitations.—For purposes of this section, a provider of an interactive computer service shall not be held liable on account of—

    “(1) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of intimate digital depictions; or

    “(2) any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or other persons the technical means to restrict access to intimate digital depictions.

    I appreciate your reading into the text. I am not a lawyer so it isn't always clear how to read the legal language crafted into these bills. Since the quoted part of the law is under the criminal penalty section of the bill, I read it as releasing the service provider from criminal liability if they try to stop the distribution of it. I see your point as how you read it and that makes sense to me

  • Teen deepfake victim pushes for federal law targeting AI-generated explicit content

    Jump

  • Section 2252D (a) Offense.—Whoever, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, discloses or threatens to disclose an intimate digital depiction—

    “(1) with the intent to harass, annoy, threaten, alarm, or cause substantial harm to the finances or reputation of the depicted individual; or

    “(2) with actual knowledge that, or reckless disregard for whether, such disclosure or threatened disclosure will cause physical, emotional, reputational, or economic harm to the depicted individual,

    ....

    (d) Limitations.—For purposes of this section, a provider of an interactive computer service shall not be held liable on account of—

    “(1) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of intimate digital depictions; or

    “(2) any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or other persons the technical means to restrict access to intimate digital depictions.

    So the law requires intent and carves out exceptions for service providers that try to remove it.

    You can read the whole text here

  • the text of the bill exempts service providers from any liabilities as long as they make a good faith attempt to remove it as soon as they are aware of its existence. So if someone makes AI generated revenge porn on your instance as long as you take it down when notified, you want be in trouble.

  • If the laws on the books aren't being enforced by the local executive branch because they don't understand the technology or terminology and see where it applies the re-writing the law so its more clear what the crime was and how the law can be enforced is absolutely an option.

    The article states that there is no federal law governing the use and abuse of non-consensual deepfakes. The proposed bill also offers additional protections for victims. Putting that on the books isn't a waste time or money. If the patchwork of local laws were working then this young woman wouldn't be asking her congressperson of change.

    So I respectfully disagree with your take that it is political grandstanding and unnecessary.

  • Replacing an assembly line worker with a more efficient machine creates jobs as the machines need to be manufactured, serviced, designed, and replaced. Jobs are created in shipping and logistics as factories are able to create more product. Meanwhile the costs of goods go down and benefits the whole economy.

    Art is uniquely human. Art is sacred. Art created wholly by a machine with nothing but a human prompt is not art. People using AI to rip off content from existing YouTubers and reupload it with AI generated voice and script rewrites aren't making art. People who use AI to create demented kids videos so they can steal from advertisers are definitely not creating art. Someone who may use an AI narration and AI assisted graphics may be creating something worth calling art but it's going to be seen as lesser by everyone else.

    Hollywood executives using AI to replace extras, writers and talent are not causing more jobs to be created else in the economy, they are not causing the costs of entertainment to go down, and they aren't making it more accessible for creatives to make it in mainstream entertainment. It is a net-drag.

    I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, just that I disagree with it on the arbitrary standard that art is sacred.

  • Hiring a sound-alike isn't taking a job out of the economy for one. The original voice is able to accept the job at the pay rate the sound-alike took usually.

    Not to mention impersonators are usually doing the voice according to parody/fair-use

    Nobody wants to end people using AI to make Johnny Cash sing "Barbie Girl", but using it to replace Keanu Reeves in John Wick 8 for instance would be across the line. Recasting the role is one thing, but replacing the human altogether is another.

  • In my opinion, it’s immoral to profit off of someone’s loneliness. Of course that’s a huge sector of the economy now and why dating apps focus on vapid, meaningless hookups rather than finding real working relationships, and cam girls exploiting whales, so on a so forth.

    But I still think that things like AI girlfriends promote isolation, hostility, and anti-social behaviors that are harmful to society.

  • Congress Wants Tech Companies to Pay Up for AI Training Data

    Jump

  • And what about the authors whose works were injected without compensation? What should we do for them? I don't think that these commercial AI models should get to infringe on their copyrights for nothing. If I pay for a ChatGPT subscription and ask it to tell me about the war the Middle East and it basically regurgitates and plagiarizes information it learned from a journalist, then ChatGPT has essentially stolen the copyrighted work from that journalist and the revenue that my click would have earned them.

    I don't see a problem using publicly posted copyrighted data for non-commercial use for training local language models but don't think its fair to allow copyright infringement for commercial use.

  • Amazon lays off 500 Twitch employees, hundreds more at MGM and Prime Video

    Jump

  • I was mostly just trying to get my point across in a hastily written comment. But you are absolutely right that I should have considered the layoffs market wide when talking about the impact they have have market wide.

    And I hate to lessen the human impact that the layoffs have, especially when COBRA is a joke and people rely on their employers 401k match and such to have a decent living in retirement. I’m not endorsing our current system, I don’t like any more than the rest of us. I just think we need to solve the problems of people’s QOL in retirement being tied to the market and things like healthcare being dependent on one’s employment before we worry about companies being run to make as much money as possible

  • These people would lose their jobs regardless because twitch is not profitable.

    Edit: Investments are made in good faith, and having law backing that and recourse for those wronged is important. Like it or not the millions of people with their money in the market outweighs the temporary bummer that is a few hundred losing their jobs. It might be popular to think that the people being hurt are sleazy venture capitalists but it’s the workers who rely on their 401k to be able to live when they retire or the parents who are trying to save for their child’s education that get hurt.
