The output of the training, the model (LLM) itself, is transformative. I’m not talking about the output of the llm nor was the person I was responding to.

The pirating issue has nothing to do with the current lawsuit (the New York Times one mentioned in the article) nor did the government mention it in the current context.

That being said, I’m a pirate in my personal life, and I also think it’s kind of a necessary evil when it comes to building SOTA models. I wish we had a copy left solution to it, so you can use pirated data but need to open source it, so open source has a fighting chance and big AI can buy it if they want it. I’m okay with openAI and anthropic getting brought into court about it I guess, but the legislation ends up being market capture in their favor in the end.

I understand the issues though, very “rule for thee but not for me” currently.

Per the article, he’s talking about doctors.

You can make a pokemon ripoff with Photoshop, should Photoshop be illegal? Is it the tools fault or the user’s fault?

Precendent was already there. Copyright has never been enforceable when it’s transformative. Collage is legal, so was training neural nets before the copyright industry saw money in it.

None of what you said is wrong but I think it’s a bit simplistic to compare it to a resolution jump or to bring up Indy graphics vs AAAA as a sign that nobody cares anymore.

FPS is indeed the real killer though, you can’t really run this without high end cards and the difference is simply not worth the price for most people.

If you have copyright juggernauts gatekeeping the data through legislation, then you can’t have open-source models.

I’m surprised how many want to shoot consumers in the face just to protect mafia like companies like Universal Studios and YouTube.

Training a model with copyright material = fine

Creating copyright material and distributing it = not okay

I can infringe copyrights with Photoshop, or just copy pasting the image itself.

We don’t need to knee cap tools and force everything behind subscription services with censorship just to satisfy the copyright industries craving for blood.

I really hate how they are rolling with the Australian gym incident. They had a completely open API. Imagine having a button on your front page that sends you to the admin page without asking for a password, and then telling people you were “hacked”.

It’s a 2$ increase from 13$ to 15$. I feel like most people don’t care and it’s more of a boiled frog situation than anything else. I doubt anyone is seriously going to cancel for an extra 2$ unless they were already planning too tbh.

I highly doubt anything other than final assembly with the case is being done. PCB aren’t hand soldered anymore, a machine does all the work. If it was built in the US, it wouldn’t be dealing with tarrifs in any case so clearly, there’s as much slave labor involved as every other product.

Before it becomes an issue, yes I think tariffs are dumb. Its just silly to assume these guys are the only ones doing ethical gameboy gimmick toys and that’s why it’s overpriced.

A quick google actually tells me it’s manufactured in Malaysia so they don’t even do final assembly. PCB is most likely China.

No.

He said “so close, yet so far” which is saying nothing.

Whatever it plays, it’s still just an stm32, an esp and a screen. It’s still just 35$ in parts being sold for more than double the price a phone that can play Wii games would cost. It’s a gimmick. You are falling for a gimmick.

I guess it’s nice to pretend and not even make a point. You have said nothing.

All little mini game boys are a serious rip off. It’s just an stm32, an esp32 and a screen. We’re talking maybe 35$ to build one without bulk pricing. The crank is just decoration, it doesn’t even do anything.

The suicide probably makes it even more difficult for his family. Poor girl probably blames herself. (She shouldn’t to be clear but still)

How long before they ban all the open source models and hand a monopoly to the ones they are pretending to be mad at?

They want to treat software like a gun, they certainly won’t let us run any of it on our own computers. It’s a shame to see so many cheer for this.

It means that once the comic output from AI is indistinguishable from the output of an artist, then people will stop concentrating on the tools used and go back to judging a comic on if it was funny or entertaining.

This guy draws really well but none of his comics are good. It’s all trite boring pandering.

To be clear, I’m not saying hand made art has no value, just that a shit joke isn’t somehow better than a good one just because of the tools used.

Good content + real art > Good content + AI > boring content + real art

If it’s any consolation, we are nearing the point where it’s legit impossible to tell and people will slowly go back to caring about the content instead.

Don’t fall for this bullshit. The cunt in charge is literally closing down renewable projects left and right.

The constant bribes and corruption are what is slowing down the shift. This is scapegoating.

We need regulations for datacenters and all, and it isn’t helping, but this is transparent propaganda.

You say that as if it’s a bad thing

I have generated videos with me in them and it’s a very weird feeling. Actually getting surprised by them in an ad would be brutally unpleasant. They will never do this.

That being said, they will absolutely put people that reassemble us. So personalized ad with someone that has the same hair color, skin color, height, facial structure and age, wearing about the same kind of clothes we usually do.
