Wizards pondering their orbs? No!

Christians pondering their orbs 👍

I use Kubuntu with KDE Connect. It lets me control everything using my phone 👍

I can play/pause whatever from my lock screen and can use my phone's keyboard like it's connected to the computer. It's fantastic 👍

I dunno. Place looks like it rocks!

Dumb Restrictions on Media will always be Dumb Restrictions on Media.

We the people mostly won the DRM wars of the early 2000s. You do not want to legitimize that technology. It only helps big corporations/evil monopolies. It will never be a good thing for humanity as a whole.

~~stolen~~ copied creations

When something is stolen the one who originally held it no longer has it anymore. In other words, stealing covers physical things.

Copying is what you're talking about and this isn't some pointless pedantic distinction. It's an actual, real distinction that matters from both a legal/policy standpoint and an ethical one.

Stop calling copying stealing! This battle was won by every day people (Internet geeks) against Hollywood and the music industry in the early 2000s. Don't take it away from us. Let's not go back to the, "you wouldn't download a car" world.

I dunno. It's better than their old, non-AI slop 🤷

Before, I didn't really understand what they were trying to communicate. Now—thanks to AI—I know they weren't really trying to communicate anything at all. They were just checking off a box 👍

My argument is that the LLM is just a tool. It's up to the person that used that tool to check for copyright infringement. Not the maker of the tool.

Big company LLMs were trained on hundreds of millions of books. They're using an algorithm that's built on that training. To say that their output is somehow a derivative of hundreds of millions of works is true! However, how do you decide the amount you have to pay each author for that output? Because they don't have to pay for the input; only the distribution matters.

My argument is that is far too diluted to matter. Far too many books were used to train it.

If you train an AI with Stephen King's works and nothing else then yeah: Maybe you have a copyright argument to make when you distribute the output of that LLM. But even then, probably not because it's not going to be that identical. It'll just be similar. You can't copyright a style.

Having said that, with the right prompt it would be easy to use that Stephen King LLM to violate his copyright. The point I'm making is that until someone actually does use such a prompt no copyright violation has occurred. Even then, until it is distributed publicly it really isn't anything of consequence.

Nah just own it. You only need to kill this one person to obtain your shapeshifter dreams!

Admit it, "I'd say sorry but I'd still pull the trigger." 😁

I came here to say the same thing.

“If you ban it, then people want to hear it more, and then it becomes more popular,"

Me: Yeah, banning things tends to make them more popular a lot of the time. Probably won't happen in this case but sure...

"...and then it kind of supports what he says, which is that there’s this concerted effort, if you talk about Jewish people, that they’re going to remove you from everything,”

No, that's not how that works... But Rogan is well-known to be pretty dumb (in addition to being ignorant). So maybe he's just confused.

“Remove you from banking, which is what he’s saying. They run everything.”

Nope! He's just a scumbag. All benefit of the doubt is gone with that statement.

We can all safely mark Rogan down as an actual Nazi now 👍

...and to those public figures who get accused of being a Nazi (like this) let me tell you something: The way to swing yourself out of it is to not just say, "I'm not a Nazi" or "You're stupid if you think I'm a Nazi." You say, "I fucking HATE Nazis!" (loudly and publicly). Then you point to other Nazis like Rogan and Ye and spell out, specifically why their beliefs are wrong. Then maybe make a huge, public donation to a pro-LGBTQ+ organization and say something like, "attacking minorities is wrong!", "Trans people are harmless! Leave them alone", and then later you can clarify your position with something like, "Genocide is wrong—and that's why I'm mad at Israel; not Jews, specifically."

Well, I was on my phone at the time and that's what ChatGPT generated. Here's what FLUX Dev generated (locally on my PC):
