There is no right to your image.

Government can TRY to make those rights, but the freedom of expression is superior to the idea that you can stop me from hand drawing your image when you're at the beach.

How many companies used llama instead of paying OpenAI for API access?

If Meta saw OpenAI as a market competitor then denying them revenue is a cunning move.

Especially if llama isn't Meta's core competency but ChatGPT is OpenAI's.

Maybe even legal in that aspect, though they both seem super guilty of not paying for copyrighted material.

The COVID mRNA vaccines were the culmination of decades of research into genetic vaccines that could be in essence engineered to target a selected antigen without the years of trial and error that are required by the methods we have been using since the 1950s. Within days of the virus genome being published, they had a vaccine design, the months it took to get to the public were taken up with studies of the safety and effectiveness of the heretofore untested technology, ramping up production, and preparing for the distribution of a medicine that required cryogenic storage.

It would be unreasonable not to give the Trump administration credit for not mucking up this process. But the unprecedented speed of development wasnâ(TM)t due to Trump employing some kind of magical Fuhrermojo. It was a stroke good fortune that when the global pandemic epidemiologists have been worried about arrived, mRNA technology was just at the point where you could use it. Had it arrived a decade earlier the consequences would have been far worse, no matter who was president.

The lesson isnâ(TM)t that Trump is some kind of divine figure who willed a vaccine into existence, itâ(TM)s that basic research that is decades from practical application is important.

Umm, I think the Japanese had some say in that decision.

Coding is to CS as math is to Physics.

Software engineering is building the supercolliders for physics.

Meanwhile we have LLM's declaring themselves Mechahitler.

Good job University of No Job Placement.

(yeah, some Universities have been giving CS degrees for HTML and MS Office)

Good one. :)

If we can't move the planet by then we've gone extinct too.

According to the Timcast review (spoilers) he never says either phrase in the movie.

Just some dope making posters, reportedly.

Apparently all the immigrant and Israel propaganda stuff is fake too.

Marketing Buzz achieved - don't believe anybody without verifying.

What is the current total Federal budget for science across all departments?

We have record homelessness, addiction, child trafficking, and a curiosity about the earliest moments after the Big Bang, if that even exists.

Oh and not enough electricity for humans and AI aspirations.

Given limited funding we need to prioritize.

Cutting the War Department funding in half would be another good move.

By all means if this can be philanthropically endowed, like the Simons Observatory, that would be fantastic.

And where are the Oil Sultan countries on this? Muslims used to be the very best Astronomers in the world.

I watch a lot of maritime disaster videos, so YouTubeâ(TM)s genius algorithm thinks Iâ(TM)d be interested in traveling on a cruise ship.

This one needs microcode, kernel, and hypervisor patches, the latter two needing to flush cache when transitioning between trusted and untrusted code.

This is statism, writ large.

You get paid for work you PERFORM, but not work you RECORD. Copyright is anti-individual rights and liberties.

I'll be glad when Ai truly replaces all of these artists.

Sounds like they moved on almost immediately from Wiles to Rubio.

Chief of Staff, NatSec/State -- DoD should be next (Hegseth). Rattcliff might be more powerful but they probably don't want to cross CIA. Or the call is coming from inside the house.

I either have grass or mud and weeds. So I reseed any bare spots every Spring.

Do you mean people tolerated slippery mud and thicket all summer before the 50's?

I get that motorized mowers make everything easier but I see plenty of pictures of nice homes and parks from the 19th century with cut grass at the Historical Society.

Why would anybody think not using herbicides is the same thing as not mowing your lawn and not weeding?
