Asking for your image to not be used for training seems like a perfectly reasonable request. The website you want to post it to may say, sorry bud, by posting it here you are giving permission to use it for training. But certainly there will be some that won't allow it.

Same as I'm free to make a painting and sell it with conditions that the buyer never allows it to be referenced by anyone learning to paint. Maybe I won't find a buyer who agrees to those terms, but the terms can be made.

Humans learning to mimic styles is of course an issue in the form of knock offs, but unless actual fraud is performed there's little or no recourse in the law. The cheap and easy scaling of AI style mimicry is causing us to revisit what society thinks are the acceptable norms here, and that's probably good actually. It's still too new, but eventually we'll probably update laws to codify the expectations.

Now this is the kind of GDP-growth-suicide-pact type comment I came for.

Because they have ânew equipmentâ(TM) budget, donâ(TM)t have âmaintenanceâ(TM) budget. School efficiency!

Burn forests in order to plant sugar cane.

This crack analysis was provided by the Ministry of Silly Studies.

I heard it reported on, but it listen to NPR so maybe I get better news reporting.

If that I had an upvote to give.

Well, the best applications of new technology usually happen after the first bubble of excitement bursts. Heâ(TM)s trying to position this as part of the slow trickle of real innovation that comes after the hype.

We better go take all the lead out of the environment then, and put put it somewhere safe like a solar cell.

Bad actors would totally weaponize that. Big corps would be fine. Their armies of lawyers will create processes and boiler plate written reasons to reject candidates that satisfy the law. Small businesses without full-time lawyers will lack the expertise to protect themselves and would be targeted by bad actors who are willing to settle instead of go to court.

Republicans are jealous of your minimum wage.

It might actually be worse than that. My son is entering college this year. I have done very well for myself, and I was planning to pay for his college. However, since this talk about federal loan forgiveness came about, I opted for my child to take whatever federal loans were available given the chance they will be forgiven some day. I'll still have to pick up the rest, but when this kid graduates he likely won't be making much at first, and any forgiveness offered will likely apply for him. So I thank you in advance for subsidizing my child's education.

The way Hungary is going, they were going to get scapegoated eventually for something. Better to be the scapegoat for a fireworks show that didnâ(TM)t happen, versus a scapegoat for a fireworks show that injured/killed people.

If we all work together, we can destroy the world economy! Don't be left out!

weBurned it'll be a 90 min special to follow up on weCrashed. Rebekah will be mentioned, but not make an appearance. Some schmucks will again be left holding the bag. This time Neumann will only walk away with a couple million instead of a couple billion. Additionally, operating the blockchain will have generated the same amount of CO2 that it claims to have proof of being captured. Which in reality will be nothing, so virtue signalers, buying his tokens, will have in-fact doubled their footprint.
