Is anyone requiring boosters for work, study or travel? Not to my knowledge.

And yet despite that these countries have much much higher rates of booster vaccination than the USA does (not to mention there are dozens of other countries not listed in your comment with similar policies to the USA). I think this has mor

Flu shots don't require human trials either, should covid be all that different (genuine question) if so why?

Again not directly though and that is all that matters - I can reproduce the getty watermark in photoshop but that doesn’t make adobe liable. The fact that a tool is capable of copyright infringment does not shift the legal burden anywhere

If I use photoshop to recreate a copywritten work - they don’t have to redistribute photoshop or change it in any way. The originals are not being shipped in the models but the models are capable of recreating copywritten work. These are to

If it is interpolation what kind of interpolation is it? Linear? Bilinear? Nearest Neighbor? Lanczos? No… because it isn’t and doesn’t resemble anything close to interpolation. They even gave a linear equation in their example… again not ev

So is any scaled up process unethical or is there another comparison you are trying to go for here? Notably in your example both are certainly legal just varied by the level of controversy around them and on that level I would agree. Scaled

I don’t post my private data in public places and expect everyone to stay away from it. Maybe I’m missing the contradiction somewhere else?

There is so much art that is creative commons and public domain I’m sure a worse ‘pile’ could be conjured up to start things out. Then just as we have seen with other architectures, as they refine, their need for data can drop and eventuall

Certainly, don’t mean to imply they are (legal distinctions aside). A person can create an algorithm (or use an algorithm) and create new things, even works of art.

Yes… we all do that every day. Humans don’t exist in isolation, we build and learn from other’s accomplishments from the wheel to the printing press to the computer. Modern impressionists don’t owe royalties to Monet but they certainly draw

How exactly were they greedy in particular? To me it seems they are doing what every other company is, I’m unaware of Meta engaging in anything greedy that is out of the ordinary, is that not the case (genuinely asking) and why do you think

Yeah I think a correction is likely - haven't seen anyone being nearly that pessimistic (or optimistic probably if you're younger and in the USA) but shifts from 5-15% depending on the market have been predicted by plenty of firms
