same with “you fucking fuck fuck”

Oh, for sure they’d go insane… but, eventually they’d get better. 1000 years is a long time :)

I would think that most people, given 1000 years to grow, would come out of the experience changed for the better. There’s nothing saying that the 1000 year sentence would be torture, it could be 200 years of showing you the consequences of your actions as they had been, and then 800 years showing how to be a better person.

The real torture would be getting pulled out and realizing that while you’ve lived 1000 years, you’re now in your 20s again and everyone around you is much less mature than you are.

One of the science teams needs to hurry up and name a mountain or something they want to study after trump, then they just need to say that it’s an interesting whatever, but they aren’t going to be studying it because some reason… then trump will force them to keep the project running and ensure they have enough funding to study the area they wanted to study anyway.

I was being a bit hyperbolic, but my point was that Apple has put out some incredible shows and it seems that no one ever talks about Apple TV.

I am aware and I don’t expect that everything on the internet is public domain… I think the models built off of works displayed to the public should be automatically part of the public domain.

The models are not creating copies of the works they are trained on any more than I am creating a copy of a sculpture I see in a park when I study it. You can’t open the model up and pull out images of everything that it was trained on. The models aren’t ‘stealing’ the works that they use for training data, and you are correct that the works were used without concern for copyright (because the works aren’t being copied through training), licenses (because a provision such as ‘you can’t use this work to influence your ability to create something with any similar elements’ isn’t really an enforceable provision in a license), or permission (because when you put something out for the public to view it’s hard to argue that people need permission to view it).

Using illegal sources is illegal, and I’m sure if it can be proven in court then Meta will gladly accept a few hundred thousand dollar fine… before they appeal it.

Putting massive restrictions on AI model creation is only going to make it so that the most wealthy and powerful corporations will have AI models. The best we can do is to fight to keep AI models in the public domain by default. The salt has already been spilled and wishing that it hadn’t isn’t going to change things.

No, it’s not feasible because the models are already out there. The data has already been ingested and at this point it can’t be undone.

And you can’t exactly steal something that is infinitely reproducible and doesn’t destroy the original. I have a hard time condemning model creators of training their models on images of Mickey Mouse while I have a Plex server with the latest episodes of Andor on it. Once something is put on display in public the creator of it should just accept that they have given up their total control of it.

If it was on Apple TV no one would ever know about it.

I just don’t understand Apple TV… they put out some AMAZING shows, but there’s hardly ever any buzz about them.

There’s no way that’s even feasible. Instead, AI models trained on pubically available data should be considered part of the public domain. So, any images that anyone can go and look at without a barrier in the way, would be fair game, but the model would be owned by the public.

They wear magic underwear. It’s a whole thing.

Now I need to go reread it. I have the original comics, so time to go on a hunt!

I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I felt that Snagglepuss was even better. I don’t want to give any of the story away, but he’s a counterculture playwright in LA Hollywood during the McCarthy era red scare of the early 50s.

It’s an amazingly beautiful book and story.

This was supposed to be the truck that would be driven on Mars. On Mars!

Exactly… “Deepseek is a threat against our freedoms!!” also “No one can make any laws to put any restrictions on any AI models”. Cool.

My employer has stooped so low as to call it “return to work”. Like, what the fuck have I been doing the past 5 years!?

I’m currently in the final round of interviews for a new employer. I don’t expect that they will be nearly different, but at least they will pay more.

Money, meet mouth.

Do it!

There are plans to create a 9-foot-tall version in bronze in the works

Oh good, that’ll make a beautiful visual as well pull that piece of shit down!

pre 9/11 sweet spot

There’s a line in Fight Club about how Jack’s generation has no great war, out no way to prove themselves. It really is a great example of how things felt pre-9/11.

I am Jack’s overwhelming sense of buyer’s remorse.

This is the perfect reply to someone with a 6 charisma.

“A man”

This person has destroyed public property. Whether or not he pays, his name should be made public. People who know him should know what kind of person he is. His employer should know who they have hired. His employer’s customers should know who they are dealing with.

This is not normal behavior. This person is a sociopath and society needs to know who he is.
