What the federse needs is an app that makes the concept intuitive. I’ve been toying with an idea and how to monetize it, but I have no knowledge on how to actually make it

This only works if a new centralized network doesnt take its place, Blueskys existence kinda proves thats not always the case
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 2 months ago:
Heres the thing with federation
It will always be more complicated, and lead to smaller segregated communities. This mitigstes the network effect social media services rely on
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 5 months ago:
Theres several reasons
Part of it is good old fashioned bigotry
A big part of it is the systemic advantage the Electoral College gives Republicans
And of course there’s the matter that Traitor Trump voters don’t have standards while the rest of us do

If you arent calling it mickey mouse, it would actually be fine from a copyright perspective. What youd get sued for is the character design itself being too similar, which is a trademark/IP issue
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 7 months ago:
The law being violated there is trademark, not copyright
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 7 months ago:
But what it outputs IS transformative, which- of course- is the e primary use
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 7 months ago:
Transformation is in itself fair use is the thing. Ytp doesnt need to be parody or critique or anything else, because its fundamentally no longer the same product as whatever the source was as a direct result of editing

I posted this in a thread, but Im gonna make it a parent comment for those who support this bill.
Consider youtube poop, Im serious. Every clip in them is sourced from preexisting audio and video, and mixed or distorted in a comedic format. You could make an AI to make youtube poops using those same clips and other “poops” as training data. What it outputs might be of lower quality (less funny), but in a technical sense it would be made in an identical fashion. And, to the chagrin of Disney, Nintendo, and Viacom, these are considered legally distinct entities; because I dont watch Frying Nemo in place of Finding Nemo. So why would it be any different when an AI makes it?

What of the images random people generate from software like dall e? Those are made from the same training data, and what this poicy does to them is make media creation more inaccessible even though the technology exists. Also, copying a book word for word by hand isnt/wasnt plagarism, its unlicensed duplication. Plagarism would be changing just the proper nouns and pretending like its a completely seperate book
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 7 months ago:
This, exactly. AI is generating new images. Oh whoop de do, they did it by mixing a bunch of pixels. As though making an image out of tiny photos isnt literally the same thing and considered transformative. People just have a double standard about a program instead of a person doing it. (Except for that subset kd online artists, they’re just bezerk about copyright and credit in general)
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 7 months ago:
Most everyone from corporations to tumblr artists will be opting into that. While it doesnt guarantee an information dystopia, it does enable it
I download images from the internet and remove watermarks to edit them in youtube videos as visual aid. I add a credit to the description because Im not a cunt, I just do it to make the video look better. I dont monetize content. Utterly and totally harmless, and would be illegal with such a label
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 9 months ago:
It doesn’t improve it. You could argue it makes it worse since I often face social rejection from the left for it…for some inexplicable reason. But I don’t simply choose to hate or not hate something, the same way one does not simply chose their sexuality or gender or race or emotions.
