  Why is it that when regular people pirate something, they immediately get a notification from the isp, threatening legal action, but when Nvidia pirates something in mass, it’s called groundbreaking innovation

    En masse. Nothing Catholic about this.

    Because Nvidia has an army of lawyers and a mountain of cash, duh

    I mean, Nvidia is being sued by rightsholders in a class action lawsuit.

      Good.

  Funny how, when the lawsuit comes out, they stop grifting about “AI” and start talking about statistics.

    Technically they are correct. AI is nothing more than a ML, which is nothing more than complex statistics. Still, NVIDIA should be held accountable.

  The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare.

  I wonder how many monkeys NVIDIA has? /s

    Monkeys are old hat. I much prefer to calculate pi in binary and then dump the result into a bitmap, then scroll through it infinitely. Eventually I’ll learn everyone’s secrets…

      I vaguely remember reading about a way of writing down prime numbers that ended up in a pattern that could be translated into some kind of image. Math is awesome.

  my pirated movies just become neuronal correlations in my brain too!

    Me: “This binary file is merely an approximate mathematical and statistical transform of the complainant’s “Deadpool 3”, your honour. If you care to glance through a few A4 pages of the binary representation of both items, you can clearly see that there is no direct copying involved, thus, no copyright claim can be upheld.”

    Result: $250k fine, two years community service in anti piracy groups.

    NVIDIA: “Each copyrighted work was ingested and a statistical model was generated that leverages that information for our own profit. We have no intention of compensating copyright owners for their information.”

    Result: Oh you! Get out of here, you scamp! Ruffles hair

  We might as well ditch the modern concept of copyright as far as I’m concerned.

  Cuz there’s no good outcome to this case if copyright is our only weapon to counter the technofeudalists.

  They’re very clear in their aim: Every book a human makes will be used in an effort to replace the human that made the book.

  Who gives a shit if that’s through statistics or black magic? It’s anticompetitive behavior, plain and simple. Shoot them down on antitrust grounds.

  If doubling the list of rights you sign away in an employment contract is the only way we’re allowed to mitigate this, then we’re fucked.
