- Comment on Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web 1 day ago:
Yes, it is a travesty that people are being hounded for sharing information, but the solution to that isn’t to lock up information tighter by restricting access to the open web and saying if you download something we put up to be freely accessed and then use it in a way we don’t like you own us.

Didnt you hear? We stan draconian IP laws now because AI bad.
- Comment on Music industry giants allege mass copyright violation by AI firms 4 days ago:
Its honestly sad how many people I see on Lemmy cheering on corporate IP law because GRRM is pissed off at not getting a few million more royalties by being included in a training set.
- Comment on Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission 5 days ago:
The same way the pictures of ninja dinosaurs can only be trained on actual photos of ninja dinosaurs, right?
- Comment on Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission 5 days ago:
Proton is steam’s version of wine which is used automatically when you install any game that doesnt have a specific linux version.
- Comment on OpenAI and Anthropic are ignoring an established rule that prevents bots scraping online content 1 week ago:
You mean that work that took open source software, closed sourced it and refused to release the source code and the poisoning only worked against one specific open source model (stable diffusion). I don’t think that’s going to come riding to anyone’s rescue.
- Comment on Microsoft insiders worry the company has become just 'IT for OpenAI' 1 week ago:
There is a bubble in AI, AI isnt a bubble. In the same way there was a bubble in e-commercebthat lead to the dotcom crash. But that didnt mean there was nothing of value there, just that there wasnyo much money chasing hype.
- Comment on London cinema cancels screening of AI-generated film following backlash | Evening Standard 1 week ago:
Book burnings dont remove all copies of a book from existence either. And no I dont get to decide what is and isnt art, and I dont presume to, generally if someone says something they have made is art and they’re not asking me to buy it I’m happy for them to consider it art. Also I dont go around cheering when creative works I dont like get censored.
- Comment on London cinema cancels screening of AI-generated film following backlash | Evening Standard 1 week ago:
The director, the actors, the camera crew. Take your pick
- Comment on London cinema cancels screening of AI-generated film following backlash | Evening Standard 1 week ago:
I’m glad that the art decider has come to tell me what is and isnt alowed to be art. Is there any other degenerate art you think should be removed? We could have a bonfire.
- Comment on London cinema cancels screening of AI-generated film following backlash | Evening Standard 1 week ago:
Great retort, consider me converted. Who are we censoring next for doing wrongthink?
- Comment on London cinema cancels screening of AI-generated film following backlash | Evening Standard 1 week ago:
I hope the anti-AI reactionaries feel good about their success of censoring an small artist.
- Comment on The Mac vs. PC war is back on? 1 month ago:
… Thats someone having a problem with being given an incorrect certificate for a website because their ISP was blocking the website they were trying to access. Even though its on a linux support forum its neither a linux nor firefox issue.
- Comment on Has Generative AI Already Peaked? - Computerphile 1 month ago:
No the argument is current techniques give logarithmic returns in data size, which is bad. But it said nothing about other potential techniques or made any suggestion that this was a general result.
- Comment on Meta AI is obsessed with turbans when generating images of Indian men 1 month ago:
so if there was a country where 1 in 6 people had blue skin you would consider that statistically insignificant because 5 out of 6 didn’t?
- Comment on Damnatory Arbitration 1 month ago:
The whole forced arbitration is bad enough, but retroactively enforcing it on something you already own while deliberately making it difficult to opt out just seems like its begging to fall foul of anti-consumer rules.
- Comment on Damnatory Arbitration 1 month ago:
Is this actually meaningful in any way or is it just the corporate equivalent of positive manifestation? Surely no court would take seriously an after the fact imposition of you waiving your rights by default unless you send a physical letter to them informing them you disagree with losing your right to sue (for no gain on your part).

Using encryption has essentially nothing in common with deleting records while under investigation.
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 2 months ago:
They wouldnt have to sell their IP even just the userbase and videos would be valuable enough to let someone else plug in an algorithm. Then again, i suppose this could all just be bluster.
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 2 months ago:
Isnt that pretty damn suspicious? We’d rather just shut down than sell it as a going concern?
- Comment on Amazon builds AI model to optimize packaging 2 months ago:
That bin packing is an NP-hard problem is more reason for using heuristics like ml, it means that calculating an exact answer quick explodes to unfeasible amounts of computation so using a far more efficient ml solution to give a probablistic answer makes complete sense.
- Comment on Amazon builds AI model to optimize packaging 2 months ago:
No, false positives and false negatives are not hallucinations. Otherwise things like a blood test not involving any ml would also be halucinating which removes all meaning from the term.
- Comment on On Being an Outlier 2 months ago:
Im not saying there is any thought going on, im saying a lack of mapping from low level processes to high level outcomes does not mean a system is entirely inscrutable
- Comment on On Being an Outlier 2 months ago:
Thats only true in the same sense that “no one knows how brains work” we understand bits and the low level and can constuct heuristics at a high level but have difficulty linking the two. That is not to say human minds or neural netwirks and entirely unpredictable and produce functionally random outputs that cant be reasoned about.

The link is likely a few kiliobytes of text, 10 meg of uncompressed 4k jpegs that no one bothered to downscale and 50megs of javascript to track you and serve ads
- Comment on Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon 2 months ago:
I dont have a windows machine, i game exclusively on linux and its got to the point where i just buy games on steam and assume they will work fine through proton. I honestly cant remember the last one that didnt.
