  It’s controversial, to be sure, but I’ve always been of the mind that if someone wants to do something transformative to one of my works, they’ve generated something different, despite being “inspired” by my work.

  ML gens are transformative by nature, so I don’t think my work being one of millions of datapoints used to create something is a huge deal.

  That said, I’m also an advocate of preservation through piracy, so I’d be a hypocrite if I wanted to go copyright mad at bots for looking at images I uploaded on the public internet.

  I get it - I appreciate the correction anyway!

  Yeah, I shouldn’t have said “literally zero”, but considering how small our community here is compared to Reddit, or Mastodon compared to X, it is, arguably, functionally zero.

  But it won’t matter, because a mega corp scraping data is going to put it into their TOS and literally zero percent of these people are going to get off Twitter or Bluesky or whatever big website that has an exemption to whatever law is passed to stop the scraping of data.

  The only groups who will suffer will be researchers, open source software builders, and pretty much anyone who isn’t a corporation already.

  There’s literally no solution to this that will end with everyone being 100% happy, but keeping the open internet open and continuing this idea that has pretty much persisted from the beginning of the internet, that whatever you put out there is fair game for viewing, is ideal compared to the alternative.

  Stuff like this is my biggest reason to believe that the current anti-ai movement is incredibly misled.

  They want to stop open scraping, but if they’re successful, only companies like Twitter, Google, Disney, Getty, Adobe, whatever, are going to have their own closed systems that they’ll either charge for or keep themselves to replace workers, instead of the tech being open to all of us.

  With that mindset, only the powerful will have access to these models.

  Places like Reddit, Google, Facebook, etc, places that can rope you into giving away rights to your data with TOS stipulations.

  Locking down everything available on the Internet by piling more bullshit onto already draconian copyright rules isn’t the option and it surprises the shit out of me how quickly artists, writers, and creators piled onto the side with Disney, the RIAA, and other former enemies the second they started perceiving ML as a threat to their livelihood.

  You don’t even need to order to see the difference if your local grocery store also delivers. I was curious one day and brought up my local grocery place in one tab, Instacart in the other, and realized I was spending a significant amount more on markups alone using Instacart, not even including delivery charge and tips.

  Yep, moved from Edge to Firefox on all but my Windows Tablet. Only reason I’m holding out on the tablet is because the battery enhancements of Edge are too much to pass up on the device. Phone and PC though, straight to Firefox.

  Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but the recent promotion of paid accounts has created a hostile environment and a wild spread of misinformation on just about any possible post. Staying on a broken platform and continuing to participate on it is extremely undesirable, especially when the owner is outright hostile to the idea that his changes are shitty.

  I presume a lot of people fleeing from Reddit/Spez would agree with the take.

  There are a few Old Spice variants that I think are a bit fruit-forward and fresh and designed for men.

  I’ve never liked the super cologney scents - I like smelling sweet, so Fuji is a good one for me. Smells tropical and a bit fruity.

  Outside of that, Stone from Henry’s is another fave of mine. Not fruit, but it’s light and I think anyone could wear it.
