Comment Ah I get it. (Score 0) 80

Carbon Tax and reduction?
An 80kg human has:
Oxygen â" 52kg
Carbon â" 14.4kg
The most important and the reason we are known as carbon-based life forms.
Hydrogen â" 8kg
Nitrogen â" 2.4kg
The four most abundant elements in the human body account for more than 99% of you.

Coal is not the carbon the climate specialists are concerned about.

Comment To understand the Intellectual Property laws (Score 1) 60

One only needs to understand the spirit and intent of the laws.
Its Business law 101, first day.

Man made laws are imperfect, so to address any exceptions it is the spirit and intent of the law which is considered.

The spirit and intent of Intellectual Property laws are to protect human creator's work that they may profit from their work.

There is no grey area here, There are no shortcuts.
Know that ChatGPT response to this topic is an hallucination.

To violate the spirit and intent of Intellectual Property laws would result in the collapes of economic ecologies of many industries.
To use an analogy, removing the wolves from Yellowstone by looking at what happened in their return. https://www.nationalgeographic...

There is no grey area here with AI generative machine anymore than a moneky taking a selfie and the denial of copyright https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The topic is not up for debate.There is no viable arguement to listen to.

This is not to say such so-called AI is not a useful tool in assisting, but it is not a lead.

It shoudl be noted that human produced databases can be copyrighted given the human effort to produce. This will become conditional IP protection where AI was used and how much of it was used. Typically an accounting of the Human factor percentage.

you sure blew that out of proportion and out of reality. So tell me how does AI taste, like chicken maybe, and for drink maybe taste like beer? Tell me.

Many products that use AI are stated to be doing so,
The big "Danger Danger Will Robinson" hoopla of recent is due to ChatGPT-4 LLM generating unlabeled and untrustworthy output. Of course, the only ones who would not want that output labeled are those who would want to use it to deceive.

Copyright issues come into play as well, AI-generated output is not copyrightable and that is very relevant to the creative industries. Or perhaps I can copyright the web search output based on my search criteria?

Any effort to change copyright laws shall fail simply because of the whole purpose of copyrights and patents is to enable economic ecology, not to destroy it which is what AI output would otherwise do. Look up "Gorilla Selfie" regarding copyright law.

As to the law, AI use in searching law precedences is an assist.
Which in all ways, is what so-called AI is at best, an assist.

Comment So the question is. (Score 1) 37

are they really just supporting the CIA spying on all your and everyone's communications?

Just think f all the googleplexes of data storage they are sucking up with such ads.

So here is what to do, get all the junk you can and filter it. If you want to be funny, bounce it to the spys. But do it in a way that you can say...opps! it was a technical error.
