They're clearly trying to hide the fact that the pilot was of a specific ethnic classification, one which is already well known for causing a very large percentage of road accidents with tractor trailers.

In other words, it's like saying someone violated copyright by making a MIDI version of a popular song.

No, they did not release audio.

A spectograph is not audio, it's an image of the timing, signal, frequency of a signal.

The fact that it could be reverse engineered into coherent audio is not consequential.

That's like saying that someone released public source code to a program when all they did was release the binary. Or, more accurately, released a use video of the software, which someone then reverse engineered.

Please sar remove the audio spectograph sar it's very important sar

But now you're in a position where a work can only be recognized as "quality literature" decades or even centuries after it was created and publicized. I guess that's a plausible definition, but I don't see much value in it.

I would also add that many governments deliberately preserve and publicize certain works not for their inherent literary value, but due to some message that the government wants to promote for many possible reasons.

IMHO, everything you just said boils down to "it's a matter of taste" or "I know it when I see it."

On one level, I don't disagree. Taking two fantasy authors I enjoy, Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss, I would say that Patrick Rothfuss is the better literary writer, but at the same time, I enjoy Sanderon's books more and I enjoy Sanderson as an author far more. Both authors are highly literate and knowledgeable, and their works are clearly highly influenced and referential to many other works, tropes, and so forth. I would say Rothfuss's writing is more artful, but I don't know how to quantify that.

"Lasting value" is, just like, your opinion man, and (IMHO) boils down to spectrum of enjoyment.

I have done the same thing (both with actual LLM text and with my own writing). The detectors seem wildly inaccurate on all samples, and wildly inconsistent between different detectors.

I think of the Star Trek holodeck. There are many episodes that portray how human characters “write” holonovels. They design the characters, the personalities, the plots, etc., but the holodeck generates the dialog, responds to stimuli, and so forth.

I think it’s a pretty interesting possibility for table top especially. GMs could create a character plan that then operates as a Non-Player Non-GM Character. A wildcard in the game. I could see that introducing some interesting elements to play.

You lost me here. What happens in a human mind is not covered by copyright law? Are you talking solely internal thought processes that are never externalized in any way?

Because I can image a cartoon mouse all day long. Yellow gloves. Red shirt. Etc. But if I put that imaginary mouse to paper (no computer involved), Disney might have something say about it.

I wonder if something like this is where we may end up. Computer learning vs human learning may be one of the great legal (and moral and ethical) battles of our time.

There's another way to mitigate this, and it's ideologically difficult for a lot of Open Source people to accept... but you'll have to diverge from the tried and true path. AI makes this much easier: instead of using $popular_thing_everyone_uses, you use something else - either COTS or roll-your-own. Yes, it might be bugs, and yes, they might be security bugs, but unless they're painfully obvious issues where you didn't do your due diligence, it's going to be a more obscure target which will require more targeted attacks.

No, this doesn't solve anything and it's 100% "security through obscurity". Perhaps I'm just missing something, but it seems like sound practice.

So, basically what you could do in W95.

What you describe is basically cron + freebsd rc or classic linux init.d

Systemd over engineered everything to better support corner cases, which ultimately doesn't work as well at the core functionality and causes systemic stability and security problems.

As I said, I don't know what quality literature is. The Nazir piece reads like Joyce to me. Ulysses is certainly a classic, but I'm not sure I've ever met anyone whose read him outside of highschool or a college literature class! I can't stand it, personally, but props to the people who do love it. I went deep into the serialist music hole once upon a time, and I found a level of appreciation for something that had been unlistenable to me before. More power to people who find that in Joyce. Zahn is very well know and popular amongst certain nerd groups, but largely unknown outside of them. Eco's books have sold well, but do people actually read them? How many men read hockey romances or 50 shades?

I take umbrage at the term "quality literature!"

I believe literature should be evaluated primarily on an "do not enjoy...enjoy" spectrum.

Looping back to the topic at hand, I've said before that I'm afraid that one thing that LLMs may show is just how derivative and formulaic a great deal of human production is. (That's not necessarily a bad thing, either, IMHO.)

My wife grew up in Minnesota. I know, unfortunately, more about hockey romance novels than I ever wanted to.

"Amish porn" is a new one to me!

As I understand it, women are by far the biggest users of public municipal libraries today. I'm not sure if the current selections are a "chicken" or the "egg" in why that is.

Wtf is quality literature?

50 Shades of Grey sold 150 million copies. Quality literature?

Topseller on Amazon right now is a hockey romance novel. Quality literature?

How do they compare to The Name of the Rose (one of my favorite books) in terms of being quality literature?

Zahn's Star Wars novels sold millions of copies? Quality literature?

Hemingway (I've run into critics who HATE Hemingway)?

Ulysses (Joyce)?

I don't know what quality literature is, and I don't really care. For fiction, if I enjoy it, I'll read it. I've just skimmed a bit of the Nazir story, and it does absolutely nothing for me, but it sure does have the veneer and impenetrability of James Joycian writing.
