  • it makes ZERO sense to me that the U.S. hasn’t provided everything possible to push Russia out.

    Israel

    China

    Venezuela getting prepared to invade one of its neighbors.

    Couple of nations in Africa are getting ready to go to war too, I forget what the name of it was, Uganda? They’re wanting to get a path to the ocean.

    The United States needs to be ready not only to fight in Ukraine, but also about four other places in the world right now. I’m in full support of giving them everything possible, but there’s a lot of valid reason not to go full of ham.










  • Do you want AI to exclusively be in the hands of big companies and the government?

    Do you want the future of technology locked behind pay walls and censored so that you can’t use it to do anything they don’t want you to do?

    If you think AI regulation comes in the form of making sure big companies can’t do bad things to you, you haven’t been paying attention.




  • This could be fine if it didn’t immediately send all of your data to the internet.

    But as is, fuck that and fuck you Microsoft.

    Windows told me I don’t have permission to do something. On my computer. As an administrator. Using the command line.

    Fuck Windows, fuck Microsoft and their controlling asses, and fuck co-pilot and Open AI for contributing to artificial intelligence not only being closed source and proprietary, but encouraging the United States government to make it literally illegal to do it on the open source field as well.



  • It doesn’t really matter whether the original data is present in the model

    Yeah it does. One of the arguments people make is that AI models are just a form of compression, and as a result distributing the model is akin to distributing all the component parts. This fact invalidates that argument.

    This isn’t a slam dunk argument that there’s nothing wrong with what an AI does even if we grant it is transformative. It may also simply be proving that the copyright law we have fails to protect artists in the new era of AI.

    If we change the law to make it illegal it’s illegal.



  • It is illegal to use copyrighted material period outside of fair use, and this is most certainly not.

    Yeah it is. Even assuming fair use applied, fair use is largely a question of how much a work is transformed and (a billion images) -> AI model is just about the most transformative use case out there.

    And this assumes this matters when they’re literally not copying the original work (barring over fitting). It’s a public internet download. The “copy” is made by Facebook or whoever you uploaded the image to.

    The model doesn’t contain the original artwork or parts of it. Stable diffusion literally has one byte per image of training data.
