It uses the content in a different way for a different purpose. The part I highlighted above applies to it? Do you expect copyright laws to mention every single type of transformative work acceptable? You are being purposely ignorant.

By data aggregators, I strictly mean websites like Reddit, Shutterstock, deviant Art, etc. Giving them the keys would bring up the cost of building a state of the art model so that any open sourcing would be literally impossible. These models already cost in the low millions to develop.
Take video generation for instance, almost all the data is owned by YouTube and Hollywood. Google wanted to charge 300$ a month to use it but instead, we have free models that can run on high end consumer hardware.
Scraping has been accepted for a long time and making it illegal would be disastrous. It would make the entry price for any kind of computer vision software or search engine incredibly high, not just gen AI.
I’d love to have laws that forced everything made with public data to be open source but that is not what copyright companies, AI companies and the media are pushing for. They don’t want to help artists, they want to help themselves. They want to be able to dictate the price of entry which suits them and the big AI companies as well.
I’m all for laws to regulate data centers and manufacturing, but again, that’s not what is being pushed for. Most anti-AI peeps seem the be helping the enemy a lot more then they realize.


transformative use or transformation is a type of fair use that builds on a copyrighted work in a different manner or for a different purpose from the original, and thus does not infringe its holder’s copyright.
You can use a book to train an AI model, you can’t sell a translation just because you used AI to translate it. These are two different things.
Collage is transformative, and it uses copyrighted pictures to make completely new works of art. It’s the same principle.
It’s also important to understand that it’s a tool. You can create copyright infringing content with word, google translate or photoshop as well. The training of the model itself doesn’t infringe on current copyright laws.


I guess it’s easy to win an argument if you put extreme views in everyone’s mouth and argue against that.
I doubt anyone thinks AI has more value then human made. Most are just being pragmatic, knowing that AI isn’t going away and most indie teams don’t have the budget for a dedicated texture guy. There is simply more to gain then to lose, and applauding copyright companies and data aggregators doesn’t solve the issues but just gives a handful of companies a monopoly when they push legislation with the help of your fervent support.


You joke but they threatened to call the cops on me after the sixth call or so.


More education is always a good thing. Diplomas are probably a requirement for high end luxury shops that pay better. I had a friend who worked in a Ferrari dealership as a mechanic, he made good money.
You can look up average starting salaries online coming out with different diplomas and compare them. Trade schools will have the info usually somewhere on their website. Might give you a better idea.
Another quick tidbit but it’s a good time to ask yourself if you want to work on cars badly enough that you are willing to drive a shit car to do it. There are much much better salaries in aviation for essentially the same type of jobs. It’s better to be working on planes for a living so you can afford to work on cars as a hobby.
It feels sweeter if I know I’m stealing from Disney tho


So the rasp Pi is very versatile. It won’t work as well for certain things but you can also hook things up to it that you wouldn’t be able to with a normal computer. It’s also tiny. That being said, I’d just spend a few bucks more and get a new one. Raspb pi 3 with 1g of ram is very slow.


Would it though? If you are using it with a controller, it’s probably plugged into the tv, at which point you can just connect controllers to it with Bluetooth.
The switch style controller is cute but mostly a gimmick imo.

It seems like it started before 4chan. 4chan probably amplified it and helped spread it though. All the bad things either start there, or it’s users violently clutch and hang on to it until it seems like it started there.
That is were I heard it first though so you are right in calling me out. It’s been a while, longer then just a decade ago thankfully, but I spent a bit of my teen years on there. It really feels shameful to admit. Overall, just a gross place.


That’s really ignoring a mountain of history. Up until a decade ago, “there are no girls on the internet” was a common saying.
I just see it as a way to foster and encourage an under represented segment of the community. It feels completely valid when that segment is still often met with hostility from weirdos.


Link to the paper? Seems interesting and google isn’t giving me much.


An AGI is just a software that can do anything a human can (more or less). Something that could use blender for example or do proper research.
Llms can already already understand images and other data formats, they might be a pathway to agi but most think they have too many constraints for it to reach that far.


Quick google search tells me that is about a buck fifty.
Maybe if they paid me that for every minute I use their browser, I would give in.


There is definitely an option to have it auto-update. I don’t know about scheduling.


Looks great on a CV too
I think you might be over thinking it. Your plane and layover location will have outlets that will charge quicker then the battery pack.

You can read the whole doc. The part above is cherry picked. I haven’t read through the whole thing but at a glance, the doc basically explains how it depends. If the model is trained specifically to output one piece content, it wouldn’t be acceptable.
The waters are muddy but holy fuck does taking the copyright juggernauts side sound bloody stupid.
