I read the entire paper, and his criticism is spot on. I even read through many of the references, which, in my spot checks, don't support the claims in the paper. Very disappointing work, IMHO.

It seems reasonable that the infrastructure providers would decide who they service, and on what terms. If countries decide to pass laws that are impractical or violate clear moral boundaries around things like free speech or due process, t

Yeah, I haven't gotten through the 40 pages myself, but skimming through the material, it does seem that the arguments rely on an assumption that AI will be employed in a particular manner. For example, when discussing the rule of law,

Is he incorrect that the paper is speculating about future events? I don't think it's completely uninformed either. He said that he's read the abstract, which is supposed to give you an impression of the structure of the argu

This line of reasoning has been applied to TV for the last 50 years as well.

Wow, I somehow missed all that. That's horrendous. I've always felt that a code of conduct is a tool for bureaucrats to hide behind, and episode doesn't alter my view. Thanks for sharing.

I play a lot of solo RPGs (4AD, Riftbreakers, Ker Nethalas, Kal-Arath, Al-Rathak, and just picked up Ironsworn: Starforged last night!) and I find AI to be amazing at filling in scenario and campaign details. I might roll and find out I&#x

Similarly, I picked up Linux in 1997 and have used it as my primary since 1999. I've distro hopped through probably a dozen or so distros, but ultimately landed on PopOS for most of my machines, similarly to you. These threads are alwa

I think what you're running into is that you have a different attitude than some of us do about technology. I've been using computers for a very long time as well, but I don't feel a sense of entitlement to the latest and gre

Yeah, it's weird. I don't like the law in Italy, Cloudflare, or the current US administration, but I'm fairly anti-censorship, so I feel compelled to side with Cloudflare unless more info comes to light.

by rpdillon 10mo ago
You keep saying this, but 'global' has never meant 'in my jurisdiction' in any conversation or document I've ever read. What additional information can you provide the confirms your interpretation is correct?
708.
by rpdillon 10mo ago
Cloudflare is clearly in the right. Global censorship from an unaccountable cabal is a moral wrong. There's no sense in which Italy somehow 'wins' here, because even if they win, they lose.

I'm not sure you understand the job. Do you have management experience? It's mostly about discussion, agreeing on how to proceed, and building relationships. It's not clear to me at all that people will want to work for AI in

The problem with this is that the game might never become available. Taking pre-orders in the hope you can obtain IP is sketchy at best.

by rpdillon 10mo ago
This is a deeply flawed argument. The idea that folks focused on preservation are creating a legal hazard is false. Copyright law does not care whether the "IP is active". What GOG is doing here is an unmitigated good. To be clear

All gambling is buying hope. The lottery has the worst gambling odds I've ever heard of, so I don't understand why we're defending it.

OK, so what's the status in your country? What lawsuits have been filed, and what are the findings? There's a huge political aspect here: copyright hasn't worked for decades (I've written about this at length), and this

What I wrote is an encouragement to investigate the actual state of the law when you're talking about legal topics. That's the opposite of thought-terminating.

Yes, latexr managed to somehow sidestep the point entirely and make a pedantic correction. I notice this a lot in these discussions. The point is AI has lots of useful applications, even though there's also lots of detestable ones.

The license only has force because of copyright. For better or for worse, the courts decide what is transformative fair use. Characterizing the discussion behind this as "sophistry" is a fundamentally unserious take. For a serious

All licenses rely on the power of copyright and what we're still figuring out is whether training is subject to the limitations of copyright or if it's permissible under fair use. If it's found to be fair use in the majority
