this I do not know. it's not the aspect I'm exploring really however, in the analogy the books could have been read for free from a library

can you point to the part of my comment where I suggested anything about how laws should work? what do you think an analogy is? do you think an analogy is something where the thing itself and its metaphor are "just like" each othe

your argument was predicated upon my comment being factually inaccurate, not analogously poor. I merely listed some leading questions analogising the ability of human brains to absorb, contextualise and emit copyrighted information to an LL

analogies are not descriptions of the things themselves, otherwise they would not be analogies, would they? now remember that this is an analogy . re-read my comments in this light and perhaps we can continue this conversation in a more gr

are you aware of how neural networks work? and remember that this is simply an illustrative analogy

LLMs are built upon neural networks which are modelled upon how brains work can you explain to me specifically how they're different? can you explain to me how they're different to the degree that making an analogy between the t

did you read to the third analogy?

why do you think that?

I buy a book and give it to my child, they read the book and later write and sell a story influenced by said book. should that be a copyright infringement? how about they become a therapist and sell access to knowledge from copyrighted book

exactly. the instagram algorithm is horrendous. until this thread I'd never heard a single person praise it. suspicious? I don't know for example, a while ago a friend sent me 3 or 4 relationship memes. I didn't like the post

it's a crying shame that for a large part of a recent generation, Ali G in da House is their only real awareness of Ali G. it's like knowing Ali G solely through the intros and interludes from Da Ali G Show

weird I get them every time. maybe it's a regional thing?

GDPR forces companies to make a choice: stop invasively selling data, or get explicit permission to do so. if a company chooses the shady second option, they have to hamstring their UX and have a big nasty banner that says "we don&#x27

your ideas are contradictory: >If the EU would actually enforce GDPR it would be amazing >The EU should not focus on privacy laws any further and not to be advdersarial, but they do enforce GDPR. have a look at the enforcement track

ads in print are one of the few ads I see as somewhat okay. if I want to go and look in the classified section of the newspaper for a car or a specific service or something else, fantastic. I can choose to do that and then look away and d

if there's money to be made, then there'll be people who'll try and make it. doesn't matter how aware of the philosophy or ethics you are. humanist intelligence rarely comes into the equation when money is on the table
