  • Encyclopedia Britannica sues OpenAI over AI training

    Jump

  • I believe there's precedent in both directions, but if Britannica can provide decent evidence of the "cannibalization", then the use (by OpenAL) is unlikely to pass the "fair use" criteria.

  • I imagine I'll code long after I'm able to make money at it.

    But, I wouldn't necessarily mind having to knit, crochet, carve, whittle, sculpt, etc. for a job either. I'm not nearly as good at them, but I think I'd enjoy it more than going back to working at the grocery store / convenience store / gas station.

    I wish we'd go ahead and convert to a post-scarcity global society. We already produce more calories, drinking water, and housing than we need to cover everyone, albeit not necessarily where people currently are. Let people knit all day and still be housed and fed and watered.

  • Sorry. I didn't pick the acronym, it comes from the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.13163.pdf I'm not sure why there's no "M" in the acronym, but I should probably spell things out when I actually want collaborators.

    While I'm dropping links, I will also drop https://github.com/granule-project/ where Gerty and Granule live and where real research is done.

  • If someone wants to collab, I've been writing various codes around it: https://gitlab.com/bss03/grtt

    Right now, it's a bunch of crap. But, it's published, and I occasionally try to improve it.

    Also, Granule and Gerty are actual working implementations, tho I think some of the "magic" is in the right grading ring for the runtime, and they and more research oriented, allowing for fairly arbitrary grading rings.

  • Colon cancer now leading cause of cancer deaths under 50 in US

  • On my 45th, instead of a colonoscopy, my Dr. had me do the "Cologuard" stuff. Insurance covered that. I turn 46 this year.

  • Android and desktop. I'm no UX designer, so I don't know what the ideal is, but when I'm using the software with a purpose, anything that gets in the way of that purpose is (at best) an annoyance. I'm probably wrong, but I think I'd prefer a passive notification to verify pin / donate / whatever that triggers after/as I leave Signal for something else -- a indicator I'm done with my purpose (albeit flawed; maybe I just need to copy info from FF or whatever.)

  • The whole industry needs rebuilt from the foundations. GRTT with a grading ring that tightly controls resources (including, but not limited to RAM) as the fundamental calculus, instead of whatever JS happens to stick to the Chome codebase and machine codes spewed by your favorite C compiler.

  • signal w

    Jump

  • I agree with all your points, BUT I do think Signal could be slightly less "user-hostile" with the reminders, maybe?

    I get annoyed at the pop-ups in my Linux system, too, and all of them are got similarly legitimate reasons. Getting the way of my current task (or worse stealing focus) doesn't ever seem like the "right" way for computers/tools to behave.

  • Proton has the disadvantage of having to work with other email services as well, so there's protocol limitations. When mailing from one Proton mailbox to another, they do intentionally avoid SMTP for this reason, but Signal has the advantage of "owning" the whole protocol, too.

    I imagine if you donate with a CC to Signal, they might also be forced to turn that over. The weakness is not in Signal or Proton, but in the Visa/Mastercard duopoly and CC processing in general. Cryptocurrency has some advantages here, but they are outweighed by the abuse, fraud, speculation, and general dishonestly (and just general failure to be good currencies for "normal" purchases.)

  • Lutris maintainer: "I've removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what's generated and what is not."

  • I'd imagine there have been more nonsensical (than AI = public domain) legal decisions that have had the full force of law for decades.

    I recently dug around for a while, and if the copyright of works in the training data affects the copyright of outputs, no popular model can output anything that would even be close to acceptable for a contribution to an open-source project. Maybe if you trained a model exclusively on "The Stack" (NOT "The Pile") and then included all the required attributions -- but no ready-made model does that. All of the "open source" model frameworks that I could find included some amount of proprietary "pre-training" data that would also be an issue.

    If AI output is NOT affected by the copyright of training data... there might not BE a (legal) person that can hold any copyrights over it, which is pretty close to public domain.
