masterspace , to Technology in Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web

Lmao, the dumb capitalist corpo thinks Marxists are motivated by payment.

Learn how to think before you type.

The problem with copyright has nothing to do with terms limits. Those exacerbate the problem, but the fundamental problem with copyright and IP law is that it is a system of artificial scarcity where there is no need for one.

Rather than reward creators when their information is used, we hamfistedly try and prevent others from using that information so that people have to pay them to use it sometimes.

Capitalism is flat out the wrong system for distributing digital information, because as soon as information is digitized it is effectively infinitely abundant which sends its value to $0.

You realize that half of Lemmy is tying themselves in inconsistent logical knots trying to escape the reverse conundrum?

Copying isn't stealing and never was. Our IP system that artificially restricts information has never made sense in the digital age, and yet now everyone is on here cheering copyright on.

In that I can take a picture of them and you wouldn't notice or be impacted by it?

Man this is fucking asinine. No one hates you. Certainly not the actual researchers and engineers building these products.

Capitalism fucks over everyone who's not immediately useful. AI is just modelling algorithms after neurons and discovering that that lets us solve a whole new class of fuzzy pattern matching problems.

The two of them together promises to fuck us over even more because that was one of the main things that we used to be better than computers at, but the solution is not remove the new technology from the equation, it's to remove the old and broken system of resource allocation that has and continues to fuck us no matter what.

You're describing how human beings learn and create.

masterspace , to Technology in Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web

No. It's only illegal if you republish what you scrape. Absolutely nothing prevents any company from scraping the web and using that information internally.

masterspace , to Comic Strips in i still think of you, jim henson

Yeah, and seeing the lowest bottoms of the human existence every time you scroll your newsfeed doesn't make you more sensitive to it, it numbs you to it.

This comic is sad in the way that the Fry's dog episode is sad. It's devastating the first time you see it but the more you think about it the more you realize that there was/is no other message, they're just saying death really sucks, and yeah it does, but that doesn't mean it's healthy to relive it over and over and over.

masterspace , (edited ) to Technology in DJI drone ban passes in U.S. House — 'Countering CCP Drones Act' would ban all DJI sales in U.S. if passed in Senate

No, in this case it's the same problem.

We're talking about banning DJI because the Chinese government subsidizes manufacturing useful things, whereas the US' approach to corporate policy is to ban anything that prevents a billionaire from getting richer, and now the US is mad that China mysteriously got a better drone industry.

Either the US should reform itself until it prioritizes building useful shit cheaply instead of enriching finance industry assholes or it should shut. the. fuck. up.

masterspace , to Technology in Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI

Always weird to see "Microsoft in damage control mode, when like 98% of Microsoft employees see literally no difference from the day before.

masterspace , to Mildly Infuriating in A fresh install of Signal takes up 410MB, blowing both Firefox and Chromium out of the water

Eh, that's not the joy you think it is.

That's how software used to be distributed and that's where the terms DLL / Dependency Hell come from and why programs used to not uninstall cleanly and break other programs, etc.

It's more efficient, but it's also brittler and a lot more complex to manage. Conversely, bundling everything together with all its dependencies is a lot easier to manage, and a lot more robust overall, but comes at the expense of storage capacity and network bandwidth.

Hey now, the three React Native for Windows apps would be very offended if they were stable enough to read text input.

masterspace , to Technology in OpenAI Insider Estimates 70 Percent Chance That AI Will Destroy or Catastrophically Harm Humanity

It's not tho.

masterspace , to Technology in The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates

You're really trying yourself in knots to try and blame the big bad corpos and no one else.

Yes they are shoving it in people's faces, and when the average person uses their default browser with a default search engine and searches on Bing and it uses AI in addition to a search index they are to blame, but every single user who intentionally seeks out ChatGPT or Copilot is also to blame.

It's a new technology, people are going to use it and burn energy with it and then eventually we will make a more efficient version of it as it matures, similar to everything else, including traditional search.

masterspace , to Technology in The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates

That's cool, free will doesn't exist, whats going to happen is going to happen. I've accepted that, so I might die poor, but you're the only one here with a chance of dying truly unhappy.

You know what's funny? What negative prompts you'd have to give an LLM to get it to respond the way you do.
