I go only do far as to when those models one day respect the law. Which them feeding copyright things into a model IS NOT …legal

This is just not a statement that you can make. You can say “should not be” all you like, that’s an opinion. But saying it is not today legal is a claim of fact, and it’s a claim that is not supported by the real world. It’s still an open legal question and there isn’t a completely definitive answer yet, and anyone claiming otherwise is spreading misinformation.

Turns out it’s available on the Internet Archive!

Can it be legal, at least in theory?

The legality of training AI is a far from settled subject. Some have argued it’s copyright infringement. Others have said it’s transformative to a degree that should be sufficient for fair use to apply. Yet others have said that it’s most akin to a human looking at art and being inspired by it, which is not copyright infringement at all.

If you want my take, we should judge the output, not the training. AI can be made to generate an output that would be copyright infringement if a human did it, and it should still be infringing if AI does. But most AI slop is just slop with no resemblance to much of anything. That’s crappy, but not copyright infringement.

That is a fantastic movie and it’s a shame it’s not available for streaming anywhere.

The video will be on YouTube later. I think NJB puts his videos up one week after the Nebula version?

fwiw though Nebula is not “a random site”. It’s the creator-owned platform that NJB and a bunch of other YouTube channels are on that helps give them a more reliable income source than the fickle YouTube algorithm, while being far more affordable and practical for the end user than supporting dozens of different individual people on Patreon.

Why are you being so patronising? It does not work. I told you it doesn’t work. Your patronising comments don’t help. I’ve tried it. I’ve seen others try it. To get niche Communities off the ground requires a latent interest in that community’s subject matter. You cannot just make it spring out of nowhere.

Factually untrue. There just aren’t enough people interested in certain topics who are regular users of Lemmy & Piefed to have those communities be thriving.

Why would we want to do that?

So that we can discuss more niche hobbies with other people who love that hobby.

If we could somehow keep the bigger Communities the same size they are now, while growing niche Communities, that would be ideal. It’s logically impossible though.

There’s a whole instance dedicated to porn, isn’t there? At least there used to be, is it still live? My instance is defederared from it so idk.

You’ve touched on the point Jason raises in literally the very next sentence after the quote I shared in the video that quote comes from.

Payment processors declared common carriers when?

Suburbia may be a good place to shelter toddlers, but as soon as a child is more than about 6 years old, being trapped in a mcmansion on the edge of town seriously inhibits their growth and independence. They might be able to walk to a friend’s house, if they’re lucky enough to live somewhere with a sidewalk, but they’re unlikely to be able to walk to school, or anywhere else for that matter. …

… And it’s more than just school, too. Kids have lots of sports and other activities, so [in better urbanist places] it’s very common to see children walking or cycling while dressed in football gear (not [American] football) or hockey gear (not [ice] hockey), because they travel to all these activities by themselves.

In the US and Canada you have the stereotype of the suburban ‘soccer mum’, the mother who spends all of her time shuttling her kids around from school to activities to playdates and back. Because until a kid is about 16 years old and has their own driver’s licence, they need to be driven around everywhere by their parents. And this is considered ‘normal’.

Sure, but the chemical structure of teflon itself is pretty safe and can be easily expelled by the body, which puts it in a whole different category in terms of safety compared to the far more dangerous so-called “forever chemicals” that are produced and released during the production of teflon.

get rid of the Teflon non-stick pans

No, definitely don’t. Teflon is completely safe, once it’s already made. Keep that shit as long as you can. But avoid buying new Teflon, because the manufacturing process puts a lot of plastics into the environment.

I’ve only ever seen a couple of episodes and I was shocked at how well this script fit what I’ve seen.

I’ve never had that problem. Are you running it on the latest version of the YouTube client that Revanced Manager says it supports? Or trying to run it on an unsupported version of the YouTube client?

Revanced is the native YouTube app with free access to the features normally in Premium like removing pre/midroll ads and picture-in-picture, in addition to extra add-ins like Sponsorblock, Dearrow, the choice to either remove Shorts entirely or automatically play them in the regular player, etc. It also works with your YouTube account, so you can read and write to your regular playlists, view your subscriptions, etc., and any changes you make will be immediately reflected on your logged-in web browser.

I don’t know, but I can’t imagine it’s very large. Only things significant enough to be chains or similar have entries, and it’s one per chain not per node. Then each Wikidata entry might have a few to a few dozen akas at most. I’d be surprised if it’s more than a few dozen megabytes to download the entire globe’s data. Less if you only get your region.

Real-zero is definitely a real thing. It’s not a particularly complicated or sophisticated thing, but it is real. All it means is zero carbon emissions. Not some emissions that you then offset by purchasing shady “carbon offsets”.

Climate Integrity, whose reporting this article is based on, seems fairly legit, going through their history. Here’s an release of theirs fact checking gas industry lies about gas cooking vs electric.
