  • There's a GPL compliance lawsuit where they're suing NOT as a copyright holder of contrubtor's code but as a user of the software (a 3rd party beneficiary, under contract law). The GPL was intended to give standing to users of the software, so hopeful this makes presidence.

  • What is the incentive to do this sort of stuff?

  • An offsite server is not under your control and accessible by who knows. Surely it is still a privacy concern.

    Privacy is like security in that it costs time. Most people don't spend time on even having a conversation like this but if something bothers you then finding a spare day is easier.

  • There are many other cameras but most have the same potential to do this sort of shit. Sending video to some server you don't control, on cameras you don't control because it's proprietary, isn't going to cut it if privacy is your goal.

  • People who claim they don't value privacy are simply ignorant of how this can affect them. They don't consider the data falling into the wrong hands. Surely they don't want criminals with unauthorized access at least. It should be obvious that governments don't always have their best interests either.

  • One master password to rule them all, One server to find them, One password to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

    Yeah I use 2FA with the master notebook.

  • Worse still it's not even clear what is being discussed. It implied "violence" but that is a wide range from just pushing to serious shooting.

    % can also be misleading when a scale is arbitrary. A temperature increase measured in Fahrenheit will be a rather different % when converted to Kelvin.

  • In UK you can't buy high caffeine drinks unless you're over 16, so you need ID if you don't look over ~20.

  • Headline should have been: porn sites have no spunk. Screw the government and just plug the whole country. Though we'll no longer have easy access various VPNs will still allow us to reach around the block with IP protection (just like consuming BBC service without a license).

  • Judge dismisses authors' copyright lawsuit against Meta over AI training

  • "hallucination refers to the generation of plausible-sounding but factually incorrect or nonsensical information"

    Is an output an hallucination when the training data involved in that output included factually incorrect data? Suppose my input is "is the would flat" and then an LLM, allegedly, accurately generates a flat-eather's writings saying it is.

  • Disney's AI Paradox: Pursues OpenAI Deal While Suing Rival Firms

    Jump

  • Artificial neural networks are simple versions of the neurons arranged in a brain. It's a useful solution when you know what the output should be but you don't know what algorithm would produce it from a desired input. To claim "AI" is learning the same way as complex human brains seems a bit farfetched. If you want to say human brains are ultimately just an algorithm then fine, but look at the outputs between the two.

    AI art may not look like duplication but it often looks like derived-work which could trigger copyright infringement (to my non-artist eyes). AI code on the other hand looks much closer to duplication to me and it doesn't seem right they can use other's code to produce code while ignoring the license because the algorithm had "learned like a human". Many software licenses are there to protect users, rather than monopolize, and get totally ignored for profit.

    "Innovative" these days seems to means new ways to fuck-over users, rather than the past where it meant products got better and/or cheaper.

  • The Anti-Cheat Dilemma: A New Hope for Linux Gamers?

    Jump

  • I have hope for running games on Linux that are currently blocked by anti-cheat.. but zero hope for client-side anti-cheat to stop cheating. It's not as if Windows has stopped cheating. A win eventually becomes a loss as the cheat-makers adapt.

  • If you're using the minimum amount, in a transformative way that doesn't compete with the original copyrighted source, then it's still fair use even if it's commercial. (This is not saying that's what LLM are doing)
