Yeah, that's a worse look for NASA in that case. Still, I'm confused - why would NASA agree to do this in the first place?

Nothing in the form seems out of the ordinary to me. It is a lot of fields, but ultimately the main goal is establishing ownership, not discerning the specific methodology in which a person made the work. It's a departure in that the c

Just because the pace of progress isn't exponential (like what some people would want to believe) doesn't mean it isn't happening. I remember getting an early invite to DALL-E 1 all the way back, and while I don't use it

This seems like a really strange objection. It's one thing if this was directly harmful to any real human beings, but the alleged harm here is purely symbolic. There are probably religions in this world for which the mere fact of going

I'm a bit confused - you draw parallels between artists whose work gets used in a training dataset and musicians who sign contracts with Spotify, but the comparison is very strained. The financial link with Spotify is obvious - the com

I'm kind of confused - you've claimed that Google's AI was broken, but cite an anecdote over ChatGPT? Regardless, even if these cases did happen often enough, it's erroneous to assume that this is something universal (i.

I'm not really sure how this connects to the argument. No one is trying to grant authorship to an algorithm - it would be a ridiculous effort that was never even in the cards. In these copyright disputes, the authorship on AI outputs w

Well, yes, the plane did burn down almost completely. The quote I heard that complimented it wasn't that it wasn't flammable, but that it (again, allegedly - I'm not a material scientist) insulated the interior from the fire

I was especially impressed to see that this was rolled out on an entire 3.5km-long loop, rather than some small localized attraction. It's interesting not just because of the engineering that was done, but because it shows what 1900 pe

I assume that a lot of people here want to avoid the 737s not necessarily because they're scared for their lives, but as a way to show disapproval to Boeing. Like, I won't avoid flying a 737 Max if it's the only option for fl

I feel like this is pretty unlikely - as far as I know, they don't really pass news bulletins and such to pilots, if it's not something that they need to know. Besides, even if some passenger found out, what could they even do?
