Comment Re:I have a solution (Score 3, Insightful) 101

Last I checked the issue was about returning to the office; that doesn't automatically make it about "having to work" (work from home is working, and people slacking off doesn't translate into "nobody works when remote). Not to mention that it isn't "whining" or "bitching" to express displeasure *in of itself*.

I can see why you posted this comment as anon, given how jackassedly presumptuous it is.

Comment Re:Good first step (Score 1) 75

can just create big pile of training data that's free from copyright.

IMO hyper-focusing on copyright *status* this way doesn't make sense. If a work is created anywhere where copyright is automatic, it';s copyrighted regardless of the licensing or lack thereof. If we focus on making "using copyrighted works" itself wrong OR illegal (OR both) you'd kill off the ability to use works where the creators either gave explicit permission, or implicit permission through use of the appropriate Creative Commons license for instance, to use for training, which doesn't make sense to me.


TL;DR: Don't focus on copyright status alone, IMO focusing on licensing or lack thereof AND / OR whether licensing is needed for training makes more sense.

Allowing unlicensed works without permission would be a de facto donation of the trademark to public domain.
That's gonna need a big citation, bud - your logic would have meant that LucasFilm would not own Star Wars, SEGA Wouldn't own Sonic, VALVe wouldn't own Portal, TF2, HALF-LIFE, etc, Hasbro wouldn't own Dungeons and Dragons, My Little Pony, Magic the Gathering, etc, since those companies have a lot of permissiveness regarding fan made work. Something smells really wrong with this claim.

Comment A ponderance I've had about this for some time... (Score 1) 38

I wonder, is it just doing "a new thing?" Can it also be new variations of things, combinations of new things and old things, combinations of old things and new ways ot do old things, etc,, that will alter that perception of how fast or slow time is passing?

(Does my ponderance even make sense?)

Comment Re:Who cares if Edge uses a lot of RAM? (Score 1) 62

If I have RAM to spare, go ahead and use it.

Or, it should take when it needs it, and not force the OS to clean up after avoidable sloppines wherever it may be present in a user level application.

Users shouldn't have to care about micromanaging memory these days.

Maybe if they had more trust - irrespective of if the distrust being expressed is completely justified or not - they wouldn't feel the need. Either way, more options IMO is good.

Comment Re:Late to the party (Score 1) 24

The "as closed as possible" bit, ngl, always bothered me (since I believe tech like this should be open, moreso knowing the foundation here is essentially built on OSS). I wonder, perhaps a stupid question, does this mean that if someone really, REALLY wanted to, they could (with relative ease) start up their own 15ai type deal, with most of the same things that made it attractive in the first place?
