I'm a fan of decriminalization rather than legalization, mainly because I believe that people should be able to engage with it, but I don't want companies marketing it. Marketing in the US is too effective, and I don't want t

I'm not sure you're being intellectually honest. You think that a model that's capable of being prodded into producing an infringing output in addition to all the other non-infringing outputs it could produce is no different

And that's all well and good, but that code that asserts to be protected by GPL still has to stand the abstraction-filtration-comparison test. The plain fact is that you can claim copyright on plenty of stuff that isn't copyrighta

Part of my point is that fair use doesn't apply. Training a model doesn't involve reproducing a copyrighted work, preparing a derivative work, distributing that work, or performing that work. Fair use isn't required because n

Maybe you should update your view with 17 USC 106. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/106

It's an extreme stretch to say that the model weights are a derivative work of the training data given the legal definition of "derivative work".

The comment chain you are replying to includes a request to not train an AI on one's code. I agree it's certainly possible for AI to produce infringing output. Nevertheless, people don't have the right to enforce a limitation

When are people going to get that this isn't a right folks have? If your code is readable, the public can learn from it. Copyright doesn't extend to function.

Not in copyright. The work speaks for itself, and the function of code is not a copyrightable aspect.

You might not get your ass kicked. Copyright doesn't protect function, to the point where the court will assess the degree to which the style of the code can be separated from the function. In the even that they aren't separable,

When you write something on the internet, you automatically obtain a copyright on it. Copyright provides the exclusive rights to reproduce, adapt, publish, perform, and display that thing. Training an AI model isn't any of those things

Are you aware of any precedent that "enabling" copyright infringement is tantamount to copyright infringement? Copyright obviously protects against the retransmittal of the copyrighted work. If Yuzu hasn't done that, it isn&#

Fair use is an exception to copyright. The issue here is that it's not fair use, because copyright simply does not apply . Copyright explicitly does not, has never, and will never protect style.

It's less hyperbolic than you might imagine. Water vapor is also a greenhouse gas. On a long timeline, I believe it is possible to follow a chain of CO2 increasing the temperature until we get uncontrolled CH4 emission that will then i

We just need to price reclamation into the cost of energy. If a process that has reduced emissions is more efficient, it'll be used, if it's not, it won't, and if the product isn't worth the cost of its combined producti

Do be careful, though. Some other folks here are saying, correctly, that this glosses over the "direct" or "indirect" nature of a semiconductor. I only very slightly alluded to this when mentioning the relationship betwe

It's kind of interesting you're saying the same thing as each other. If money were in the hands of people who want houses built in cities instead of on beaches, there'd be more houses in cities and fewer on beaches.

I'll ask my landlord to install one right away. Probably have to be an earth-exchange system to deal with temperatures lower than 40°F, given that heating my house in winter is the use case.

I mathed it a bit. Assuming that there's no reclamation built in to current pricing, pricing in 100% reclamation would increase the cost of natural gas by ~40%. Still not more expensive than electricity if the article is to be taken at
