It makes perfect sense. Simulations are done in discrete time chunks, as the framerate drops and those time chunks grow larger there are two choices: make the simulation bad, or make the world slow down. If you don't adjust simulation

Your definition is legal, sure, but their definition is realistic . The overwhelming vast majority of copyright "infringement" is ignored, because who cares if a kid draws Pikachu? That's why copyright law is very vague and

Sorry, do you have some proof that they pirated content that the scrupulous copyright holders themselves don't? That's not the issue at hand and, AFAICT, nobody is accusing them of doing it. Nobody is ignoring it, that would be a

They're being trained on copyrighted data that was publicly accessible. The lawsuits focus on whether or not this is copyright violation, not the legality of accessing the material (AFAICT).

I doubt governments will want to impede on the progress of AI. Doing so would likely be economic and cultural suicide over the coming decades, a modern equivalent to banning the loom or tractor.

That's not how law works in the US. You are presumed innocent and there must be a preponderance of evidence of guilt. If they can't prove the AI model contains or reproduces exact copies of their copyrighted work, there's no

That's not the argument being made, is it? If the AI is trained on pirated data, it's a completely different case than the underlying principle of AI meaning all generated content is copyright infringement.

I didn't downvote but I imagine they came from either (a) asking for what amounts to a personalized AGI on a phone, which doesn't seem to fit the spirit of the question or (b) talking about Apple like they're significantly re

> You'd get paid in cash and you'd buy and sell in cash. What are you talking about? I've never received a paycheck in actual cash in my entire life, only checks and then deposits when they became the norm.

Do you think I do laundry at work? If I had to do laundry by hand, I'd absolutely be losing leisure time outside of work.

Hm? By whom, about what, for why? I love my country and appreciate my culture. In fact, America's melting pot is just lovely to me because I get to experience such a breadth of the world and people from within it. And don't get me

All great points! Thanks for sharing.

Political ideology is very much culture. In fact, it's one of the stronger aspects of culture that shapes everything around it. For instance, blues and rap and rock and roll and road trips and entrepreneurship cultures all exist exclus

Exactly, I'm just having a meandering dialogue, not trying to have a debate. I don't mean to bother you. The root of what I'm getting at is just modern America has a diffuse and immature national culture. There's nothing

Yeah, I suppose that's true.

Oh, I apologize if I came across as accusatory! That wasn't my intention.

To be fair, Native American culture was the victim of a 200-year genocide, is still actively repressed today for corporate interests, and has virtually no healthy, nostalgic population left to actively champion and revive it. There were Nat

Oh, for sure! My point is just that America has a lot of factors that exacerbate the reasons those feelings happen. Americana is a good example, IMO. It's more a stereotype used in country songs idealizing a conservative, rural America

I agree the distance makes it even stronger for the Japanese, but as an American I do feel like we have very little identifiably American culture. We're so young, spread out, individualistic, and corporatized. It feels a significant am

I find this trivially answerable with my own, limited imagination: 1. We couldn't have gotten to where we are without fossil fuels and a bounty of oxygen in the air (but not so much to be dangerous). So the conditions and time scales m

A-drives require negative mass, not Antimatter. Antimatter has positive mass, so there was always good reason to believe it would react to gravity the same as normal matter. Though, you should probably just assume it won't work given t
