Ah yes, the famously communist Russian Federation. The RF is nakedly an imperial fascist regime that doesn’t even have communist window dressing, it boggles the mind that self-proclaimed communists and anti-imperialists support them.
i wanted to try out Nobara when switching having only experienced Debian before (not such a great desktop experience then). Now, since i’m already hooked on a Fedora-Spinoff, if the installation ever dies, i will go pure Fedora too, it’s just a great experience :-)
Stay strong! MOBAs are like rage-inducing crack!
do you know how much content disney has? go scrolling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_the_Walt_Disney_Company e: that’s the tip of the iceberg, because if they band together with others from the MPAA & RIAA, they can suffocate the entire Movie, Book and Music world with it.
Do you think that would rescue the IA from the type of people who made the IA already pull 300k books?
believe me, Disney is fucking ruthless in comparison to Anthropic.
You know, if they lose, their tech will probably become the property of copyright holders, which means your new AI Overlord has the first name Walt.
But it would also mean that the Internet Archive is illegal, even tho they don’t profit, but if scraping the internet is a copyright violation, then they are as guilty as Anthropic.
If scraping is illegal, so is the Internet Archive, and that would be an immense loss for the world.
The same goes for the Internet Archive - if scraping is illegal, than the Internet Archive is as well.
This would mean the copyright holders like Disney are now the AI companies, because they have the content to train them. That’s even worse, man.
the “burn it down” variant would only lead to the scenario where the copyright holders become the AI companies, since they have the content to train it. AI will not go away, it might change ownership to someone worse tho.
nationalizing sounds better; even better were to put in under UNESCO-stewardship.
So, the US now has a choice: rescue AI and fix their fucked up copyright system, or rescue the fucked up copyright system and fuck up AI companies. I’m interested in the decision.
I’d personally say that the copyright system needs to be fixed anyway, because it’s currently just a club for the RIAA&MPAA to wield against everyone (remember the lawsuits against single persons with alleged damages in the millions for downloading a few songs? or the current tries to fuck over the internet archive?). Should the copyright side win, then we can say goodbye to things like the internet archive or open source-AI; copyright holders will then be the AI-companies, since they have the content.
Oh, they have upheld their promises - Project 2025’s agenda was in the open well in advance. Too many people actively voted for that - i can only guess at their reasons, but racism and hatred come to mind. And too many people stayed home when they shouldn’t have, closing their eyes to what was happening.
That was Microsoft’s Tay - the twitter crowd had their fun with it: https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/24/11297050/tay-microsoft-chatbot-racist
In the end the US will look like late stage USSR, with apparatchiks having to sign off everything, years of waiting time and mile long waiting lines to have a chance to get whatever the supermarket currently has in stock, and it’s never what you actually need, so most people have to use facebook marketplace to barter goods
bro, i never said anything about people in bad situations; it’s clear that they profit from that and that’s a great thing. but cancelling your cell service to use this instead is not a smart move.
you wouldn’t be happy with that. i looked up how the Wifi routers are distributed, and (in Austria at least) small towns have 1-2 routers placed in the municipal buildings they have, servicing the town square. Which means you would have to sit around inside or outside of city hall all day.
aaah i know this and normally don’t make this mistake, thank you very much tho, i will fix it right away 🫡
In other countries this would be a criminal offense. For example in Austria: if the value of the gift is above 50000€ , it’s 6 months - 5 years; if over 300k€ it’s 1-10 years of prison.
if the courts decide that scraping is illegal, IA can close up shop.
