- Comment on Judge backs AI firm over use of copyrighted books 1 day ago:
It means what it means, “freely” pulls its own weight. I didn’t say “readily” accessible. Torrents could be viewed as “readily” accessible but it couldn’t be viewed as “freely” accessible because at the very least you bear the guilt of theft. Library books are “freely” accessible, and if somehow the training involved checking out books and returning them digitally, it should be fine. If it is free to read into neurons it is free to read into neurons. If payment for reading is expected then it isn’t free.

If you try to sell “the new adventures of Doctor Strange, Steven Strange and Magic Man.” existing copyright laws are sufficient and will stop it. Really, training should be regulated by the same laws as reading. If they can get the material through legitimate means it should be fine.

Well, I do wish they would promote the actual use and limitations of AI and stop making up crap and overselling the use cases. I use ChatGPT at work all the time as a start for research, but if I took any of it as being reliable info to run with I would be in grave trouble. It is a great tool that has saved me much time because I know how far to trust it and how to use it. The progress is very impressive as I’ve been using AI art services for years, and the difference between the random blobs from back then and the great stuff it can generate now is pretty stark. Same thing with the LLMs. I’ve been using ChatGPT since it showed up and it has improved greatly since then. Before all this I talked to people who were using AI training on various picture recognition projects where getting data from other sensors was not practical. … Overall AI is pretty exciting, but the non-stop hype and hate headlines is doing nobody any favors.
- Comment on YouTube’s Deliberate Indifference Exposes Kids to disgusting Content 2 weeks ago:
Hmm. I never watch Youtube Kids, but regular Youtube is one of my primary entertainment sources. All I get if I keep scrolling are people making food, game play throughs, science channels, animation, AMVs. The worst thing I see are music videos no worse than MTV had… Maybe you should just ban them from YouTube Kids… My biggest complaint is that I have to manually click on subscriptions to see the things I subscribed to. I pay for premium, so maybe that makes a difference?

Stop begging for censorship. That never ends up good. Accurate tagging of media is what we need and a way to filter that ourselves.

When they are older I guess you can beg big brother and nanny state to hold their hand.

I wish they would tone down the crusade. This is some of the most interesting technology to come out in decades.
- Comment on Common diabetes drug helps chickens lay more eggs 5 weeks ago:
Well, that is probably good. I always feel a little pessimistic when I see something like this. Any time they can increase production, they tend to think about the dollars first and the impact second. It took way too long for regulation to catch up with them putting antibiotics in feed to increase production. I think they wouldn’t stop by themselves if they had to put a few diabetics in comas if they could increase egg production by some percentage.
- Comment on Common diabetes drug helps chickens lay more eggs 5 weeks ago:
I wonder what the price is currently and how this will affect it. I would hope that finding a non-human medical use will drive the price of the medicine down as production goes up. Likely they will just manufacture a lower grade, deplete supplies of whatever it takes to make it and raise the price for human medicine for good measure.

yeah

Well, I already changed it anyway. Not a bad thing to do I guess.
- Comment on ‘The Worst Internet-Research Ethics Violation I Have Ever Seen’ | The most persuasive “people” on a popular subreddit turned out to be a front for a secret AI experiment. 1 month ago:
Well, you are trying embarrassingly hard to silence me at least. That is fine. I was definitely positing an unlikely but possible case, I do suffer from extreme anxiety and what sets it off has nothing to do with logic, but you are also overstating the ethics violation by suggesting that any harm they could cause is real or significant in a way that wouldn’t happen with regular interaction on random forums.
- Comment on ‘The Worst Internet-Research Ethics Violation I Have Ever Seen’ | The most persuasive “people” on a popular subreddit turned out to be a front for a secret AI experiment. 1 month ago:
In that case, any interaction would be unethical. How do you know that I don’t have an intense fear of the words “justify the means”? You could have just doomed me to a downward spiral ending in my demise. As if I didn’t have enough trouble. Yo not only made me see it, you tricked me into typing it.

Well, I carry a keyboard with my 17" laptop. Carrying a keyboard with a 8" laptop is that much easier.

Not when disclosure ruins the experiment. Nobody was harmed or even could be harmed unless they are dead stupid, in which case the harm is already inevitable.

What a bunch of fear mongering, anti science idiots.
- Comment on Here Are The Specs For The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 | Time Extension 2 months ago:
Yeah, people keep asking for a second screen. I don’t think it could be for anything but DS emulation. For anything else it would be pointless. I like having more space for the controls so my hand isn’t as cramped. I’m almost off the fence on getting this one. The only one that comes close is that clamshell SP style emulator, and the only reason that doesn’t win is I want to be able to play android games…
- Comment on Here Are The Specs For The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 | Time Extension 2 months ago:
Nah, I just want a regular single android screen with the controls on the flip like it is. I don’t want the controls pushed to the outside. I also need the buttons and screen to be safe if I toss it in my pocket. It is a great form factor really.
- Comment on ‘Profiting from misery’: how TikTok makes money from child begging livestreams 2 months ago:
This is sort of like the advice i was given when traveling. Don’t give money to begging children. They have handlers in the background who get the money and giving it incentivizes them to force more children into begging.

Mario is a special breed of mushroom given false memories and a backstory so that they will grow to have a hero complex and protect the mushroom kingdom.

- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 3 months ago:
I die too fast in Noita to get too deep into it… I liked what I played of it though. Something about Starbound made it feel like Temu Terraria… I can’t put my finger on why it feels so … fake? Like physics or the way the player model moves and interacts with blocks is off or something.

I suppose in a few months, after this current round of Minecraft, I’ll be pulled into Terraria again. I had a pretty good head of steam on the way to finishing my 2 year old run of BG3 when I made the mistake of opening Minecraft… Terraria is about the only thing that could rival minecraft in addictive qualities for me. It has the added benefit that I can talk my wife into playing Terraria but she won’t touch minecraft.

I have hundreds of games on steam.
I mostly play minecraft.
