at this point its inevitable. why worry?

I just bought a car through them (not in Texas), and it was the easiest car buying process I've even had in my life. No haggling, no "let me talk to my manager", no upsells, and no waiting for hours in a dealership office. I will never step foot in a car dealership again,

How can you "forget how to code"? That's like forgetting how to tie your shoes or ride a bike - I can't imagine it happening to anyone.

But I can't pay those actors to be in my super-niche-but-interesting-to-me movie. I can definitely have AI do it, though.

>TRANSLATION: "Amazon Plans To Use AI To Churn Out Shitloads of Utter Garbage"

Have you seen the Rings of Power? They are amazing at spitting out utter garbage with or without AI.

Don't buy it! I will, though.

your imaginary ethics are laughable and have no bearing on the insufferable comment above.

Anthropic wouldn't have gotten into any trouble at all with this if they hadn't torrented a metric shit ton of books. If they had simply purchased a copy of each one second hand, they would have been clear training their models on those.

Even though I have a subscription. I cannot stand having to sit through ads anymore.

The real problem will happen is when nearly all companies mandate RTO, then all these digital nomads will be required to actually show up - and probably for less money they were making before had they sucked it up and kept their jobs instead of quitting.

Should and will are two entirely different things. If people have to take a drug to actually lose weight, let them take it!

I may be a little jaded but voting in these people doesn't seem to be actually helping get either a) what people want or b) what's really good for the nation and society as a whole.

So right now the doomsday clock is closer to midnight than it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis (when it was at 7 minutes)?

Excuse me if I don't take it very seriously.

>They make copies in order to do training.

Yes, but making copies in order to compile information about a protected work was already litigated and won in the Authors Guild v Google case.

"The court's summary of its opinion is:

        In sum, we conclude that:

        Google's unauthorized digitizing of copyright-protected works, creation of a search functionality, and display of snippets from those works are non-infringing fair uses. The purpose of the copying is highly transformative, the public display of text is limited, and the revelations do not provide a significant market substitute for the protected aspects of the originals. Google's commercial nature and profit motivation do not justify denial of fair use.
        Google's provision of digitized copies to the libraries that supplied the books, on the understanding that the libraries will use the copies in a manner consistent with the copyright law, also does not constitute infringement."

So at what point could the copyright infringement even happen? Is it in the training of the data and adjusting the weights? Is it the fact that those weights exist in a state that can somewhat reproduce the data it was trained on? Or is it when we prompt it to reproduce that data? My bet is, if anything, the courts will come down against the last one. Training data is already sufficiently transformative as to not infringe copyright. It's only when it actually spits out something substantially similar to an existing work that copyright is violated.
