@zbyte64 with everything you see you are scraping data from your environment whether you want to or not

How does a child learn what pain is? How does a teenager learn what heartbreak is? It’s certainly not because they made the decision to find that out themselves

@Subverb that is, quite impressively, the opposite of what I said

Is a person infringing on copyright by producing content? No. It’s about intent and scale. Humans don’t just sit on this knowledge, they do something with it

There is nothing illegal about WHAT it’s doing, there is everything illegal about HOW and WHY

I very clearly stated that OpenAI’s intent and their scale at which they operate are blatant copyright infringement and that it has been backed up with decades of precedents

@Pika @flop_leash_973 This is largely my thoughts on the whole thing, the process of actually training the AI is no different from a human learning

The thing about that, is that there's likely enough precedent in copyright law to actually handle that, with most copyright law it's all about intent and scale and I think that's likely where this will all go

Here the intent is to replace and the scale is astronomical, whereas an individual's intent is to add and the scale is minimal

@booly @where_am_i Ask Texas Instruments about the competition to the TI-84

@Shardikprime @freamon damn and my masto instance only has a 500 char limit, but you go and make use of every character you’ve got

@DirigibleProtein @Nunar kids are assholes, some adults act like children, it’s inevitable

It’s not because the bubbles are green, it’s not because SMS is bad, it’s because people suck

@fuckwit_mcbumcrumble @AProfessional windows

@simplejack @AProfessional no you have to stick to the “this one company doesn’t sell as much as all of the other companies combined” view of it

because

@technomad I’ve been keeping a lot of my friends aware of what’s going on in the fediverse (especially around Threads, which they’re more aware of) through a discord channel I run on our server that’s dedicated to what’s going on in the world of tech

Conceptually I prefer using the email analogy for how it actually works since that’s pretty close

Gatekeeping the fediverse isn’t good for it, get people to join up, you have control over what you see

@neme I like how the devs were like “eh, it’s not even that good of an app, whatever”

@ramune @chiisana I don’t think a little sphere on my phone is signaling that Apple is getting into defense contracting
