- Comment on U.S. sending Israel more than 20,000 assault rifles that Biden had delayed: sources 1 day ago:
It’s more about holding the dems accountable. They are supposed to represent their constituents, instead they chose to represent genocide to the point of losing an election against trump of all people.
The bad guys in all this are ultimately the ones that enabled genocide and not the voters who abstained (other then trump and his fanatics obviously). The democratic party basically aimed for a low turn out and if we aren’t critical of them, we will get the exact same energy next time.
I toed the line and voted strategically but the whole time, I was asking myself what the fuck they were thinking. Now that it’s over, I can’t really blame normal people that were conflicted about genocide.

That’s fair. We can also expect proper moderation from social media sites. I’m okay with a light touch but It shouldn’t be floating around if you get what I mean.

Joe Biden and his administration sent 8 billion dollars worth of hellfire missiles, artillery shells and bombs in January. He sent 20 billion in August. Your quotes aren’t necessary.

- Comment on Instagram Is Full Of Openly Available AI-Generated Child Abuse Content. 1 day ago:
Banning the tech, banning generated cp on the internet or banning it at home?
I’m a big advocate of AI and don’t personally want any kind of banning or censorship of the tools.
I don’t think it should be published on any kind of image sharing sites. I don’t hold people publishing it in high regards and I’m not against some kind of consequence. I generally view prison as unproductive though.
At home, I’m not sure. People imo can do what they want behind closed doors. I don’t want any kind of surveillance but I don’t know how I would react if it got brought up at a trial, as a kind of proof if the allegations have something to do with that theme (child molestation).
- Comment on Instagram Is Full Of Openly Available AI-Generated Child Abuse Content. 1 day ago:
Kids will do things if they see other children doing it in pictures and videos. It’s easier to normalize sexual behavior with cp then without.
- Comment on Instagram Is Full Of Openly Available AI-Generated Child Abuse Content. 1 day ago:
Although that’s true, such material can easily be used to groom children which is where I think the real danger lies.
I really wish they had excluded children in the datasets.
You can’t really put a stop to it anymore but I don’t think it should be something that’s normalized and accepted because there isn’t a direct victim anymore.
- Comment on Found money. What do? 2 days ago:
Put posters signaling you found something (do not mention it’s cash) and would like to return it if the person can say what it is on the phone.
If someone hasn’t claimed it in 2 weeks, I’d give it to the kid (or we’ll probably her parents).
I’d also ask the kid were exactly they got it. If it was in a tree hollow or something similar, it might have been hidden and meant to pay for a drug deal or something. You never know, I just wouldn’t want that person contacting me.
- Comment on In a paper, media mogul Tim O'Reilly and economist Ilan Strauss say OpenAI likely trained GPT-4o on paywalled O'Reilly Media books without a licensing agreement. 3 days ago:
We first use the DE-COP membership inference attack (Duarte et al. 2024) to determinewhether a particular data sample was part of a target model’s training set. This works byquizzing an LLM with a multiple choice test to see whether it can identify original human-authored O’Reilly book paragraphs from machine-generated paraphrased alternatives that we present it with. If the model frequently correctly identifies the actual (human-generated) booktext (for books published during the model’s training period) then this likely indicates priormodel recognition (training) of that text.
I’m almost certain OpenAI trained on copyrighted content but this proves nothing other then it’s ability to distinguish between human and machine written text.

- Comment on OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power 6 days ago:
I’m mostly talking about being able to train on copyrighted content. This is on me though, I got mixed up. That’s what I meant in my first comment.
If you think someone can train a model on legally obtained data (Google images, YouTube, internet archive), then that is fair.
Personally, I think using pirated or at least bought content that is ripped (Netflix, DVDs) should be exempt (for everyone obviously, not just OpenAI.) Some data is already behind huge mega corps like record labels, Hollywood, publishing houses, etc. OpenAI can afford the cost but the little guys will be screwed when it comes to SOTA.
It’s also worth noting that most current lawsuits are aimed at how the data is used and not how it’s sourced if I’m not mistaken. The laws coming from these lawsuits won’t be used to bolster anti-piracy laws but copyright laws instead, targeting fair use and transformative clauses.

- Comment on OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power 1 week ago:
Mostly youtube, reddit and image search. I guess I could just record a Netflix stream if I needed the whole movie. I guess recording a Netflix stream is pirating? Probably easier with a torrent.
What does it matters? I don’t think pirating is unethical especially when it’s not even redistribution but transformative. Openai has never stopped me from pirating or even asked me to stop. Not sure what you mean with “no one else”.
You ever ask yourself if the memes made from movie scenes used pirated media?

What pirate bay is doing isn’t exactly transformative. I pirate most of my media and can’t say I’m not for better copyright laws and a better treatment of pirate bay, I just think the situations are different.
I don’t think saying “if pirate bay is illegal, so should training ai without compensations” is exactly fair. (I wish the actual people contributing could be compensated, but how it’s set up, we would be giving a few companies a monopoly while compensating mostly data aggregators.)
Reforms don’t have to be pro-corporate slop.
Sadly, the media and most of the population is practically begging for it. When you couple that with the pressure exerted by record companies, publishing houses, etc, it is clear those are the reforms we get if any.

In our current society, little people can get away with it. I can take whatever style I want and train a model on it. There’s already many ghibli ressources in the open source scene, and a lot of them date from 2 years ago.
This whole situation is rage bait to manipulate the population into cheering for new copyright laws so politicians get little push back when they start writing pro-corporate laws regarding AI.
- Comment on ChatGPT's viral Studio Ghibli-style images highlight AI copyright concerns 1 week ago:
It shouldn’t be much of a problem using a gibli based model for img2img. I personally use forge as my main ui, models can be found on civitai.com . It’s easily possible, you just need a bit of vram and setting it up is more work. You might get more mileage by using controlnet in conjunction with img2img.

- Comment on Brian Eno: “The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people” 1 week ago:
AI has a vibrant open source scene and is definitely not owned by a few people.
A lot of the data to train it is only owned by a few people though. It is record companies and publishing houses winning their lawsuits that will lead to dystopia. It’s a shame to see so many actually cheering them on.
- Comment on The Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem 2 weeks ago:
They won’t be rewarded. Data brokers, record companies, publishing houses, getty, etc will be rewarded.
You want to shoot open source initiatives in the face and give a handful of companies a monopoly so rich people can get richer.
- Comment on The Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem 2 weeks ago:
seeing the huge amount of data needed for competitive generative AI, then open source AI cannot afford the data and dies.
- Comment on The Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem 2 weeks ago:
How does that change if copyrights are strengthened? The open source scene dies and the big players will still keep scraping.
- Comment on The Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem 2 weeks ago:
AI has always been able to train on copyrighted data because it’s considered transformative.
If this changes, seeing the huge amount of data needed for competitive generative AI, then open source AI cannot afford the data and dies. Strengthening copyrights would force everyone out of the game except Meta, Google and Microsoft.
That system that open source AI grew out of is exactly what is being attacked.
- Comment on The Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem 2 weeks ago:
Those authors aren’t in the equation anymore. They gave their work to publishing houses and won’t be asked about what it is to be used for.
- Comment on The Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem 2 weeks ago:
Because if AI has to pay, you kill the open-source scene and give a fat monopoly to the handful of companies that can afford the data. Not to mention that data is owned by a few publishing house and none of the writers are getting a dime.
Yes it’s silly that students pay so much, but we should be arguing for less copyrights so we can have both proper prices in education and a vibrant open source scene.
Most people argue for a strengthening of copyrights which only helps data brokers and big AI players. If you want subscription services and censorship while still keeping all the drawbacks of AI, this is how you do it.
