Is the ai doing anything that isn’t already allowed for humans. The thing is, generative ai doesn’t copy someone’s art. It’s more akin to learning from someone’s art and creating you own art with that influence. Given that we want to continue allowing hunans access to art for learning, what’s the logical difference to an ai doing the same?

AI stans always say stuff like this, but it doesn’t make sense to me at all.

AI does not learn the same way that a human does: it has no senses of its own with which to observe the world or art, it has no lived experiences, it has no agency, preferences or subjectivity, and it has no real intelligence with which to interpret or understand the work that it is copying from. AI is simply a matrix of weights that has arbitrary data superimposed on it by people and companies.

Are you an artist or a creative person?

If you are then you must know that the things you create are certainly indirectly influenced by SOME of the things that you have experienced (be it walking around on a sunny day, your favorite scene from your favorite movie, the lyrics of a song, etc.), AS WELL AS your own unique and creative persona, your own ideas, your own philosophy, and your own personal development.

Look at how an artist creates a painting and compare it to how generative AI creates a painting. Similarly, look at how artists train and learn their craft and compare it to how generative AI models are trained. It’s an apples-to-oranges comparison. Outside of the marketing labels of “artificial intelligence” and “machine learning”, it’s nothing like real intelligence or learning at all.

(And that’s still ignoring the obvious corporate element and the four pillars of fair use consideration (US law, not UK, mind you). For example, the potential market effects of generating an automated system which uses people’s artwork to directly compete against them.)

Either get rid of copyright for everything and everyone, or don’t.

But no stupid BULLSHIT exception for AI slop.

I wouldn’t do it. But then again I’m not a fascist imperialist dictator with delusions of grandeur.

Jesus, this fucking paranoid bitch can barely string a sentence together. He must be neck deep in the techbro CEO k-hole…

Also, as an Irish leftist, he should leave my people out of his delusional and incoherent ranting.

I’m not sure there was much value in the type of tea-leaf reading that 538 was known to do, but then again, I’m not sure how much value there is in corporate political news in general.

Yeah, they’ve been pretty explicit in wanting to “flood the zone” with new shit everyday to annoy and outrage us, and so that the media doesn’t have enough time to cover in depth what’s really going on.

All of this stuff like “Gulf of America”, “Red White and Blueland”, adding Trump’s face to Mt. Rushmore, putting Trump’s face on the $100, etc. It’s all a bunch of look-at-the-birdy bullshit.

Whatever. Go for it, cultists.

This type of shit is just noise meant to distract and overwhelm people from paying attention to the stuff that matters.

Almost not worth living (if not for pizza and weed gummies).

States run the elections, so I’m positive there will be one. But whether or not the results are respected… I’m not so confident in that.

Jokes on you, I don’t have healthcare.

She had the perfect opportunity to reference Metal Sonic here, but she blew it.

Aside from Trump, you must be the dumbest person in any room if you think rewarding Russia for invading Ukraine is a good move. History has shown those of us who know it that imperialist conquest must be met with all kinds of forceful opposition.

It was already a mistake for the world (including the US under Obama) for not pushing back hard when Russia took Crimea, and it would be an even bigger one to let them take another huge slice of Ukraine today.

Ukraine has paid their fair share in this war–they have paid with the blood of their people. But dumbfuck Trump is so desperate to give his “buddy” Putin a win here, and to join in the shakedown of Ukraine for “mineral rights” that wont mean fuck all when Russia continues his campaign and takes the rest of the country. Like seriously, what fucking good will all those minerals be worth when they end up within Russia’s borders?

It’s the dumbest plan of all time, it’s a shakedown of a nation that has already been invaded, and if we give up on Ukraine it will ultimately lead to a broader war that Europe and USA will have to fight themselves, because there will be no Ukrainians left to fight on our behalf.

This is the darkest moment in American geopolitical history. We can’t even pretend to be a country of values or valor anymore. We’re a pathetic country of greedy short-sighted cowards in ill-fitting business suits and we are inviting the war to us.

Doesn’t exactly take a business mogul to know that…

This is why Trump is extorting Ukraine. The people of the USA are overwhelmingly in favor of helping Ukraine fight against Putin’s imperialistic invasion.

Nah. They do have to admit they were fucking wrong. Otherwise it’ll just be the same stupid shit over and over again. Enough reaching out with olive branches.

Pretty reasonable.

Why the fuck does anyone in the world care what another person (consenting adults) gets off to?

I’ll never understand.

I blocked MutualAid-related tags months ago because there is only so much begging and sob stories that a person can take.

I feel sorry for people who have problems and situations so desperate that they feel the best way to fix them is asking random people on the internet for money, but I just don’t know if I can trust them and I absolutely know I can’t help everyone.

On the bright side, it’s never been a better time to switch to an immutable distro…

Sure, but the fact that you’re at least still active on Lemmy and paying attention makes it less of a problem.

The ghost communities I’m really talking about are the ones where you click on the moderator’s profile and find that they don’t even seem to be active on Lemmy much at all anymore. At that point, those communities have zero chance of growing because they’ll quickly be unmoderated, and to my knowledge we have nothing like Reddit’s “subreddit request” in place where unmoderated communities can be taken over from absent moderators.

Obviously not every community is going to be super active all the time, that’s not a problem. The problem are the communities on popular servers that have “reserved” good names, are inactive and effectively unmoderated. Those types of communities are only serving to pollute the namespace of the most popular servers, imo.
