Just a heads up, the word is 'tenet' (funny enough, in commercial real estate there is the concept of a 'core tenant' though -- i.e. the largest retailer in a shopping center).

Until this happens a few times and their algorithm flags you as an 'abuser' of the refund system (despite you doing nothing besides correctly calling out fraud) and you're banned or automatically ruled against in all disputes

Is it really "highly nonstandard"? I thought it referred to Pacific Time during daylight savings. The rest of the time being PST (Pacific Standard Time).

Indeed - I did a double-take at the notion that creditors often wanted a borrower to default so they could then collect payment in the form of the debtors labor, basically debt-slavery. As you said, fascinating stuff.

I don't agree that they aren't pirating content. If full text is used in the training corpus that seems like it would qualify. But I understand what you're saying and it's certainly possible you're correct, I just d

Copyrighted content was not _copied_ into the training corpus?

But we are talking about copying verbatim. The entire text didn't just land in the training corpus by magic. A human copied the entire text of many books - verbatim - into the training corpus. Under copyright law, the human was free

I am not saying that using knowledge is a copyright violation. Sorry but I think we're talking past each other. Inputting entire books verbatim into a model is not the same as a human learning a fact and using it later.

Surely you must understand the difference between copying something and producing something entirely new. If you literally only consumed Tarantino media and had no other influences, and then one day made a movie so great everyone was callin

Are you trolling? Look at the ISBN/info page of literally any book. It will say something like 'all rights reserved' and that you can't reproduce any part without permission, except for limited cases. Please go get a boo

No, because parody is a specifically protected category under the law [0]. But, as with many things, the legality would ultimately depend on the nuances of the implementation. [0] https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/parody

That is an absurd conclusion to draw. Authors do not need licenses for works that inspired them.

Those people are entering into and abiding by a license agreement when they purchase the book.

If you don't procure the appropriate license for that content then yes, it is (exceptions for things like parody notwithstanding). For example, clearance of music samples.

People keep comparing it to a human ingesting content throughout their life and then being influenced in their own works. I'm sorry but that is not the same thing - at all. The concept of training a model with the explicit intent of s

It is frustrating to see a trend of public tax-funded police doing less (especially in cities), while organizations that can afford to are hiring the same officers 'off-duty' or creating their own forces Doesn't seem optimal

I completely agree with you - but almost impossible not to think of that immediately upon reading the headline. Loudly positioning themselves as pro-consumer makes this look more hypocritical than it would have otherwise.
