If the original ToS on Twitch grants Amazon a license to create derivative works then they don't have anything to worry about.

It's like your local superstation had the rights to run ads on Star Trek in addition to the license fee they paid but they didn't therefore get a right to create a new Star Trek series or publish a "Best Moments of STTNG 1989" show around the holidays.

Now if they had gone to Paramount about the Best-Of show in theory they could have negotiated a license for that, having already been media partners. Heck, some software company got Riker to pitch their product from the Bridge.

The big authors' settlement with OpenAI sets at least some precedent in this nascent field of IP law (which is enforced whether we like it or not).

But I've never heard of a Twitch streamer talking about a derivative work that Amazon created from their show using their words or likeness.

To be fair Youtube does indeed do a yearly "best of" show.

Who knows, maybe we'll see an AI Hassan Piker doing and saying some wildly ill-advised shit in the near future. Would not be entirety shocking.

...is not found in avoiding the problem.

You are here to educate these kids. This is your role.
Granted, these issues should have been addressed long before COLLEGE but the idea of entering supposed 'adulthood' without the mental armor to deal with things like "being rated for your performance" is...asinine.

STOP WRAPPING PEOPLE IN BUBBLE WRAP. You are not doing them favors, you are just kicking their mental health issues down the road (while exacerbating them, most likely) for someone else to deal with.

Except that of course, none of this happened. Read the facts.

You vastly overestimate how far a few hundred millions gets you in the industry that moves several trillions USD in insurable value a month. These massive superyachts are tiny boats are a rounding error for insurance clubs that insure ships that cost billions to tens of billions as a matter of routine by the hundreds. And they do NOT fuck around with ship safety. They blacklist the Master, the Master better learn how to flip burgers real fast.

I should add that in old scenarios where they couldn't do behavioral patterns very well, they still had specific circumstances they could track.

For example, say a specific hard drive model has a known controller logic problem that will manifest in drive just randomly not being recognized on boot any more after a specific amount of time. Imagine something like Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 controller failure, which was well understood to happen in a specific time frame after first start of the drive due to controller logic bug.

Now imagine I'm facebook. I got a tracking cookie that enabled me to see that you did in fact buy this drive on this day. I also got a tracking cookie from a page with build guides that indicates you accessed it the next day.

That means I can push very expensive, very high value data recovery service ads to you within specific time frame when this drive is expected to fail. And you will have a moment of "holy fuck, my drive is gone, my wife's photo album, my kids, my dog, my pet fish!!! Panic! What do I do?"

Go on facebook to ask and... it's right there in your face before you even get to the relevant local group. An ad for a local data recovery service. "Oh my god, thank you facebook! You saved my marriage!!!"

They have done this for a while now. Specifically, they want to get at our revealed preferences before they reveal themselves even to us. The best ad is the ad that makes you go "oh yeah, I actually do need X now, and they're selling it right here. Click!"

They do this through tracking individual behavioral patterns as accurately and as widely as possible, and then matching those patterns to past lessons of what people with similar patterns did.

We're fundamentally biologically determined pattern recognition machines, so as long as you find someone similar enough to us, having similar enough circumstances and past behavioral patterns, data from one's preferences can be used to infer preferences of the other.

I'm not saying I'm in favor of sending the wayland/systemd/gnome3 crowd to gitmo...but I'm not saying I'm necessarily against it either...

Interesting take.

If I understand your core point is that this group of (largely young men) is worthless, and suitable in your view for what, street sweeping? Picking cotton? What employment would you deem low enough for people who (shudder!) enjoy computer games?

I'm genuinely curious why you despise them so. Would it be better that these jobs remain unfilled by anyone? I expect that would lead to more deaths, is it worth that so these human dregs can be adequately punished for living at home or working low-wage jobs if that's all that was available?

Video game players would seem at least superficially to be a great alignment for the long hours, ocd-like-focus on a video monitor, attention to detail, and ability to evaluate/react to complex situations skills needed.

Are they machines? Are they capable of deliberate movement? Do they have any decision-making of their own?

From TFA:

The externally generated [emphasis mine] magnetic fields made the robots spin and tumble through the liquid and squeeze through tiny water-filled gaps in the soil.

So, why are they referred to as robots? If I mulch my bushes — is each chip a "robot" fighting the weeds around the plant? When a brick wall is sanded, is each grain of sand a "robot"?

I gave you the link with all the data citations if you'd like to check the margin of error.

Translation: you don't know the margin of error either.

This is smart but harder than it needs to be.

Do we have a wrapper available that can let native Zoom launch and only have access to ~/.config/zoom and some USB input devices but not the rest of the machine?

Somehow building a custom MAC profile is expert-level stuff two decades on and not an end user's job.

An on-demand screen sharing permission popup should be achievable.

It's silly that a browser sandbox is better than any native sandbox available.

Perhaps such a tool readily exists and just needs to be mainstreamed into existing distros.

I know there was a Debian project a while back that aimed for all services to pass systemd strict security by default but nobody wanted to do the work.

That's the right mindset but separate from user apps.

There's some interesting stuff going on trying to understand more of the atomic structure beyond the current models.

The math on gluons has worked quite well but for some reason questions like, "OK, but what are gluons?" has been derided as "crank science" in Pergamon Press-gated Academia.

Such a diversion from Science from the beginning of Human history through the 1960's.

Structures like DeLay-Bendebury Fibers and other models of what's going on behind the math are happening outside of Academia where Physics PhD's are discarded and PhysEd BA's are celebrated.

Whichever model comes next will likely happen adjacent to the podcaster sphere and be reduced to useful engineering before Academics take a look at it.

There are plenty of good researchers working in institutions but for fundamental revisions at this point they all seem to need to leave Academia and go out on their own seeking private investment.

Which is fine except that we're all paying for the uninterested remainder. The great advancements that make our lives better always begin in fundamental science generating new models that better describe this reality. We don't get much from a jobs program for Mathematicians playing Physicists and it's very expensive.

It's quite strange that most people find the status quo completely acceptable and are willing to throw another $100B at a higher energy collider but are unwilling to grant base-layer investigations that are nearly free in comparison.

If we believe the former head of Skunkworks they've recruited the best and brightest since the 1970's and had made breakthroughs by the early 90's in at least topological physics. So we get to pay for that but aren't allowed to use it which is intolerable. But it's also understanble in a pre-Internet era where the only feasible choices were String Theory or black projects.

What is the margin of error? Asking for a friend...

...is by far the best engine I've found for generating images, editing images, etc for use as informative or scene-setting images during GM'ing ttrpg sessions. So much better than any other free options. Better at understanding my descriptions anyway, and better at amendments "ok move that person to the left edge of the screen but have them facing the camera, but wearing the same uniform as the other character in the scene" sort of direction.

I understand Grok's image 2.0 is available free for a bit, so I guess we'll see. But 'available for free' means 'will be for pay eventually' so I'll probably keep using banana.

Insurance clubs will stop Master from getting employment in shipping industry. And do, all the time.
