Sounds like the old adage that you learn from failures, not successes. Much ado about nothing, methinks.

Different but overlapping.

I thought that Section 8 housing has to meet some minimum standards. Are they really that minimal?

What's not prohibited is allowed, at least in the US.

Scraping is only legal if it's temporary and transformational. If Google started selling the scrapped images it would be a different story.

Sufficiently transformational only applies to copyrightability, but AI works are not copyrightable under current US law, so it's a non-issue.
247.
by ufocia 3y ago
Not if it is AI generated. So far only humans can be original enough to warrant copyrights, at least in the US . BTW, the right to prepare derivative works belongs to the copyright holder of the reference work. I doubt that many AI works ar

Worth trying but I doubt it unless we establish a right to train.

It will democratize art.

A human artist does not need to look at and memorize 100000 pictures in any span of time, period. Current AI does. We needed huge amounts of human labor to fund and build Versailles. I'm sure many died as a result. Now we have machines

They are someone in the eyes of the law. They just have a different set of rights.

by ufocia 3y ago
But there is. You are arguably making unauthorized copies to train.

Look up the Statue of Anne.

Back before the Statute of Anne perhaps for games. For music a bit later.

You're really talking about digital possession not ownership.

by ufocia 3y ago
It's not a non-ownership tend. There never was ownership of the content. It was a dillusion. Content was licensed. The thing that's changing is the licensing model, from, arguably, perpetual to a short term with indefinite options

You own the disc, you don't own the game.

by ufocia 3y ago
We should get away from using the term buy with respect to media. What you're actually doing is licensing in. Why not just say the latter, even if it sounds awkward? At the very least it will build awareness of the actual nature of the

There is a misunderstanding among consumers, be it individuals or corporations, that by purchasing a physical medium you simultaneously purchase a perpetual license. While in gross majority of consumer cases that was true, or at least impli

Interesting to know. What are the comparative figures for youtube and TikTok videos?
261.
by ufocia 3y ago
Both true in many more ways than one.

It is that, most likely by design. The harder to access a relatively expensive human, the better the bottom line.

How does Amazon handle warranties, especially in a year or two? Pray tell.

Senior engineers with more than 8 years of experience are more likely to be of senior age. Age discrimination in the US is discriminatory actions affecting 40+ year olds.

Greed makes people do things that are hasty and stupid. Love makes people do things that are hasty and stupid. ... All emotions are by definition impulsive and irrational and thus hasty and stupid. You are cherry picking.

Not to digress too far from the OP, but Roblox graphics are ass. If they could do Fortnite they would capture the more lucrative demographics.

And 90V RMS AC to ring the bell on POTS lines.

Sad to hear about the BRI billing from PacBell. The 56k modem was a quasi-digital connection and as I recall asymmetric. xDSL (there were so many flavors) was a disappointment in some areas in comparison to ISDN for reasons I do not recall,

FR was problematic because the FR networks were oversubscribed, which was actually one of the benefits of the technology. The tech support for FR was also lackluster at best. The nice thing about FR was that you could aggregate multiple con

Don't forget ATM, which was a good complement to ISDN.
