Why "are you trespassed" if you're told to leave? I understand that you might not be engaging in the act of trespassing until you have been made aware that you must leave. But refusing to do so surely then means that you are

They weren't trespassing, they were invited! Aside: why do Americans always talk about trespassing as something that is done to the trespasser? Isn't trespassing the act itself? If I plant myself in your livingroom uninvited, th

A natural question to ask – after their very legitimate and important questions have been answered! (Or are you just trying to derail?)

And we want them to. And to have the power to take things away. It's all a matter of degree and details.

by gspr 4mo ago
Anything can be taken away, yes. But in a free and democratic society, there's an enormous difference between "the democratically chosen state powers may take something from me" and "a private entity takes away something

This is what I find the most fascinating about the people arguing that you can copyright-wash anything (e.g. FOSS code) by passing it through an LLM. Surely that same logic applies to the LLM itself?!

> Anthropic and others argue that because LLMs don’t output full copyrighted works word for word - hence their LLMs aren’t infringing on copyright laws. That surely can't be what they argue, because I'm sure I can't transl

So does a lot of the owners of data that Anthropic used for training. Anthropic preceeded to ignore said terms under the guise of fair use. Yet now they cry faul? Cry me a river. To be clear: In principle I'm on Anthropic's side

It's a good first step, but this also seems ripe for regulation. If I buy something – tangible or not – I should be able to sell it on. Period. (Barring other regulatory burdens. I think it's reasonable that you cannot legally sel

Nitpick: in the showcase on that page, under Comparison of Natural Scenes, Moebius should definitely get a "structural confusion" tag for the back of the surfboard. If other models get deducted for truncating the surfboard, then s

I agree. But I don't understand why the focus is always on FOSS. Why don't proprietary IP owners fear this too? Won't music, movies and non-FOSS software also have their copyright laundered if this crap continues?

There is lots in the article that suggests they want to ban them for minors though. How the hell is that supposed to work without at a minimum a severe curtailment of VPNs in general? So no, not a ban for all. A ban for minors, and a severe

That seems unlikely. But on a fun sidenote: When Life of Brian was initially banned in Norway, its distributor in Sweden started marketing it as "a movie so funny it's banned in Norway" :-)

Don't take my criticism of AI writing as criticism of your work. This is stellar stuff! What I'm trying to say is I'd really like to hear it in your words. I'm glad to hear the voice is yours, and I apologize for assum

You're right. But at least the JS wrapper for the canvas is just used for setting up the shared memory, if I remember correctly? At any rate: this doubly makes my point.
