If the AI is able to type back out a duplicate of the training data, then I agree that's copyright infringement. If it just learns from the data like a human with normal memory reading a large amount of material, then I don't see

I'm just gonna mention that during the 2010s, Donald Trump had $287 million in loans forgiven after refusing to pay and suing the lender for "predatory lending practices."[1] But yeah, let's make sure we squeeze every dr

But they are not duplicating or distributing it. The whole point is that the AI is just reading and learning from it, just like a human would do.

At ten dollars per book, that'd just be a few hundred thousand dollars. They spent way more than that training the model, and probably will spend more on legal fees in this case. But if they had done that, I bet they would have been su

Also, periods are just a small percentage of the characters. Maybe we should skip them.

And the more unpleasant the idea, the more they pile on the jargon. Once I was at a meeting between a bunch of companies, discussing a move to some common standard, and one guy used five minutes of dense jargon just to say "what's

Just as the Taiwan government could continue to be, despite invasion from China.

Because for all of Russia's apocalyptic rhetoric about the dire consequences of NATO membership on their borders, they've done nothing significant about Finland and Sweden actually becoming NATO members while stepping up their mil

Addressing those "grievances" hasn't worked out too well for Russia. They complained about Ukraine moving in the general direction of NATO membership, and got Sweden and Finland as actual new members of NATO. Finland has a lo

Just like the US plundered any Ukrainian assets they could get their hands on, instead of supporting the Ukrainian government and freezing Russian assets instead?

In case of invasion, it's not that unlikely that the fabs in Taiwan get destroyed, or at least lose the ability to keep making and selling chips while the conflict is hot. In that case TSMC and Taiwan might prefer having a backup. As l

Ah, that's a good point.

Lots of us enjoy playing an instrument, improvising, etc. Even if an AI can do it better, I don't care, because just listening is not the same experience.

According to the WSJ, not so embarrassing that people are tapping the top button that much. After a while people are just done with it. (And while this probably isn't a major factor, it backfires for people like me. By default I tip hi

My default tip is higher than most terminals have a button for, but if the server is standing there watching then a simple button push is what they get.

Terminals are asking but that doesn't mean people are tipping, as the article points out: > People are tipping less at restaurants than they have in at least six years, driven by fatigue over rising prices and growing prompts for ti

I had a buddy who was a lawyer, who spent a few minutes looking over the contract as a favor. There was no bet for them to call since I wasn't threatening action, just pointing out what the contract actually said (which my buddy confir

That might be the way to bet but casually mentioning a lawyer once worked for me on a used car warranty claim. I didn't make any threats, I just said "my mechanic says X and my lawyer says Y" and they said we'll call you

I used to live in Germany, which had lots of excellent public transit, walking, and cycling. There was still quite a bit of car traffic. If even Germany's public transport isn't enough to eliminate cars, then we should put some ef

But they can store hashes of SSS shards, and coordinate the revealing of secrets by individuals who don't have access to those secrets on their own.

Ok to sum up what I'm thinking: As a stakeholder, I pay a large deposit. I get an immediate payment, and my deposit back after a year. Proof of life happens monthly. If nobody reveals my key after proof of life goes missing, I lose my

Well the blockchain still helps with friends, just because it's a convenient and very censorship-resistant public place to post the keys without having to know each other. But there are plenty of other ways to do it. For the friendless

My point is, gossip about possible murder doesn't dissuade them more than the bare fact of an apparent accident or suicide.

I guess you should also slash the stake if they submit the key in spite of the liveness function getting called. If the contract doesn't require the depositor to be the one to submit the key, then there's an incentive to avoid rev

The only way to prevent that is to not report whistleblower deaths at all. It's not like people can't privately have their own suspicions, and if I were a potential whistleblower, I'd want to know that any apparent accidents

A smart contract can still help. Use Shamir's secret sharing to split the decryption key. Each friend gets a key fragment, plus the address of the smart contract that combines them. Now none of your friends have to know each other. No

That's optimal for the vehicles, but less optimal for the people, who have to walk to stops. I used to live in Germany which had fantastic public transport, but walking a mile to the nearest stop was something we took in stride. That&#
