Conducting “psychological” experiments without “consent” is the only way to do science. Perhaps in this instance the knowledge gained is used in the ad industry and not benefiting society, but the nature of the research is to be admired and

Yes, and why should they? Social media is not a tool to reduce crime, the government can fund its own social media if it so desires.

The same humanities who championed that it’s in our Iranian culture to beat our people to death for having “improper” hijab? The sooner these leeches get defunded the better.

> Too hard for the average journalist It’s definitely not “too hard” for a professional. If someone can’t even do this much, their reporting is not trustable in the first place.

The capabilities are already there. If the compute becomes more affordable, they will explode in usage. In fact, this is already happening. See live transcription on newer iOS devices for an example. Scaling diagrams also showed no sign of

The Bible is a very specific version of a creator that the world already gives you enough evidence to disprove ten times. You could argue that the possibility of the Bible being divine is not zero, but it’s less than any epsilons people car

But by repeating this argument you are strengthening copyright, which is the fundamental evil GPL was made to fight. There surely will be FOSS clones of Copilot in the near future. There is no need to feed the copyright lobby.

Most of the entertainment I have consumed in recent years has been made by amateurs that at most got donations. Besides, there can be subsidies. The current copyright law is already a subsidy, but it’s selling off the society’s natural righ

> AI doesn’t operate like that Wrong. Various regularization schemes are used in AI models which essentially introduce “flaws” and noise into the process. The flaws are more optimal than what the brain does, but they are there.

It’s a teacher-student relationship, except the teachers don’t do anything specifically for the students. Let our jobs be taken by Copilot. Are you that afraid?

The empowerment of man is more important his ego. Pay UBI, subsidize creators with the tax payer’s money, demolish all copyright.

Not at all. That would only be true if there weren't nonlinearities between the layers.

Perhaps a good compromise is to make it opt-out, if it’s not already. Though even this is just pandering to the developer’s ego. AI writing code is a massive boost in giving users power and thus freedom. Of course, we need to make AI itself

And why is Micky Mouse not in the public domain as of 2022? There lies in the root of all these questions. The system is not designed to benefit people, but rent-seeking.

When someone presents some information publicly, copying it is a natural right. Copyright can only be legitimized as the state sponsoring short-term monopolies in select areas to subsidize industries that benefit the public (from receiving

Copyright no longer (and perhaps never) serves as a tool to further the creative/productive output of the society. It should be demolished and rewritten, and when in doubt, it should allow rather than disallow.

Yes, lawmakers should come ASAP and make everybody pay rents that will ultimately not even be pocketed by the median creator/developer. What a fantastic vision! What a feast for the capitalist beast …

> Is this a narrative they are pushing on state media there? I don't believe so. In general, assholes who get their money from the government, create their own fake news which is even faker than what is published in the state media.

We can’t pay the price of your old relative X’s laziness. They don’t care about their privacy, their data gets stolen. Their choice, their tradeoff.

We Iranians all know that. It’s you Westerners who don’t. You deny visas to PhD candidates, while giving green cards to terrorists without a fuss.

The Islamic Republic is nothing like the Taliban. The Iranian population, especially around 10 years ago, was by no means “poor.” Iran has rich natural resources, very well-educated people (in STEM), and one of the oldest extant cultures of

The Iranian journalists who covered the death of Mahsa Amini are now imprisoned. The Internet has been mostly shut down. There are, obviously, no foreign journalists. The foreign media rebroadcasts coverage Iranians can somehow upload.
