I think you're focusing too much on whether LLMs are "really human-like" or not. That's a distraction, and I shouldn't have made reference to it. Let me zoom out to a broader point: It has never been a part of cop

Because the onus is on you to show the substantive difference. Learning from copyrighted works has always been accepted as free and unrestricted, up until 2022. Before that, nobody (to a rounding error) thought that simply being influen

Be careful what you wish for. While I'm sure it feels good and validating to have this called copyright infringement, and be compensated, it's a mixed blessing at best. Remember, this also means that your works will owe compensa

Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm missing something, and I don't like to defend FB, but ... AIUI, they have a system for using data they receive to target ads. They tell people not to put sensitive data in it. Someone does anyway, an

But states generally like having a financial system, and don't like (or are at least annoyed and worried by) cryptocurrencies, so the incentives aren't the same.

Reminder: if you want to bet on an asset's demise (i.e. short it), you don't need a derivatives market, you just need to be able to borrow the asset and sell it. So you could accomplish the goal there by borrowing Monero and conve

I often see the claim that it would be above board/legit/not a circumvention of employment laws if they ran a bidding system like that. But ... that's exactly how Sidecar worked (Uber competitor, shut down Dec 2014), and I ne
