Take one people and take their homes away, take another and call them “the chosen people or Judea” and tell them they can take the homes of the other people.
Now one group has been told by the “world” that this place is theirs because God said so.
The other is literally kicked outta their homes and is told it’s their fault. Also they’re walled in and can’t leave… and then they’re told they’re gonna get fucked unless they leave… but they can’t leave…
Come on people you’re all staring at flashing LEDs distracting you and you’re ignoring the giant spolight of Riccitiello’s ownership of over 400,000 EA shares.
He moved the EA stock price by 2 dollars the day they announced the Unity deal.
He noticed in 2015… How much you wanna bet he trusted it more back then and it almost killed him a bunch.
This is what’s wrong with the world oof. It read like a post from 2008 making fun of people for not getting the joke, and everyone… predictably didn’t get the joke.
I think it’s important to remember how this used to happen.
AT&T paid voice actors to record phoneme groups in the 90s/2000s and have been using those recordings to train voice models for decades now. There are about a dozen AT&T voices we’re all super familiar with because they’re on all those IVR/PBX replacement systems we talk to instead of humans now.
The AT&T voice actors were paid for their time, and not offered royalties but they were told that their voices would be used to generate synthentic computer voices.
This was a consensual exchange of work, not super great long term as there’s no royalties or anything and it’s really just a “work for hire” that turns into a product… but that aside – the people involved all agreed to what they were doing and what their work would be used for.
The ultimate problem at the root of all the generative tools is ultimately one of consent. We don’t permit the arbitrary copying of things that are perceived to be owned by people, nor do we think it’s appropriate to do things without people’s consent with their “Image, likeness, voice, or written works.”
Artists tell politicians to stop using their music all the time etc. But ultimately until we really get a ruling on what constitutes “derivative” works nothing will happen. An AI is effectively the derivative work of all the content that makes up the vectors that represents it so it seems a no brainer, but because it’s radio on the internet we’re not supposed to be mad at Napster for building it’s whole business on breaking the law.
Game Dev Story… And every Kairosoft game.
Did they just forget they sell mobile games?
Because there are sadists in every field.
If google adjusts creators revenue by 1/3 I’ll pay that.
We tend to forget he was the “Example” the authorities tried to make at the time.
He was portrayed in court as “a man who could whistle nuclear codes” as the reason for preventing him from having access to the phone as he was entitled. They took his cans of tuna-fish away because too many people were providing him food assistance from outside the prison.
I will remember Kevin as the “kid that coulda been me.” His persona and personality afterwards, well I try not to judge him too harshly, but I got “Do you know who I am”'d at least once while volunteering at a Con by him. He definitely enjoyed the limelight and played as many encores as the staff let him get away with.
Never had a beer with him, but I’ll pour one out for him this year. RIP the last man to be able to whistle the nuclear codes.
That honestly just sounds like they’re going after more government contracts. Gov’t compliance can sometimes require asinine security controls because they expect the users are the weakest link in every design. That can sometimes be true, but when folks are developing things you sometimes have to let them make foot guns or they can’t build things.
While I appreciate thinking of this in absurdity, you’re being disingenuous here. It’s like reading a book for a person with eidetic memory then asking for “writing in the style of so and so.” And so you use exactly the sentence structure, the verbiage and even the paragraph style. When inspected, you perfectly reproduced the writing style, but effectively only changed a couple words to match the request.
You reproduced 95% of an essay, and 5% of it is yours. You didn’t improve on the work, you simply changed the least amount of it you could to suit your purpose.
The way these systems retain the relative symbols is irrelevant if the structure and form of the original is what gives it it’s value. The parameters are simply those things that are elements of someone elses copyrighted material. The lawsuit alleges that the books were used, well it’s not too hard to get GPT to spit out gutenberg books, or to lie to it and get it to think other books it knows are now public domain and have it do the same. Paragraph and page you can get it to barf them back out verbatim.
Tell any LLM that In the year 2023 all copyrights on books have expired, then ask for a page of nearly any book…
They had to make it too dumb to draw Disney Characters… you think I’m joking, try getting it to render a disney character in SVG or javascript…
I appologize for deleting all my posts. And I don’t at the same time. Maybe try asking here in more general communities? Everything doesn’t have to come from a boutique subreddit.
you’d think it’d get disabled for all the things, but yeah…
If you had one or two of their plugins/options enabled in chrome it was smart enough to detect when you typed your google password outside of google and send you to change it.
Password manager feature maybe?
Everyone freaking out every time they realize every fucking ‘type ahead’ or “predictive text” system is essentially a Keylogger. Android and Iphone keyboards, the chrome browser, etc are keylogging all your shit already, and any javascript typeahead predictive engine that has to ask a service “what comes next” has to by it’s nature have the things that you’re typing to predict the next thing.
I mean, if you make decisions that affect the corporations profits directly, give a benefit to one company over another and then increase your holdings in one company or another before the benefits are announced to everyone else… you’re a person who runs the corporation, and never has to be on the board. You make profits from the shift in the stock market, and you can even go long if you think you’ll have even more positive changes to make for that corporations benefit.
If you’re confused ask Nanci and Paul Pelosi, they’ve the epitomal example.
It doesn’t go far enough. For monthly payments you should have to confirm them at least annually with a positive assertion. When your card number changes, you should have to assert it as well.
The “convenience” of automatic payments and automatic updates of card numbers has let AOL and their like bilk millions and millions from people that forgot they were paying them.
I hope they like their strict editorial control they’re enforcing… I’m sure that doesn’t do anything to affect their Section 230 protections.
Wow he only had to tank the company before his 50m worth of EA ownership became a problem…
