‘Impossible’ to create AI tools like ChatGPT without copyrighted material, OpenAI says
  • Except they pocket millions of dollars by breaking that rule and the original creators of their “essential data” don’t get a single cent while their creations indirectly show up in content generated by AI. If it really was about changing the rules they wouldn’t be so obvious in making it profitable, but rather use that money to make it available for the greater good AND pay the people that made their training data. Right now they’re hell-bent in commercialising their products as fast as possible.

    If their statement is that stealing literally all the content on the internet is the only way to make AI work (instead of for example using their profits to pay for a selection of all that data and only using that) then the business model is wrong and illegal. It’s as a simple as that.

    I don’t get why people are so hell-bent on defending OpenAI in this case; if I were to launch a food-delivery service that’s affordable for everyone, but I shoplifted all my ingredients “because it’s the only way”, most would agree that’s wrong and my business is illegal. Why is this OpenAI case any different? Because AI is an essential development? Oh, and affordable food isn’t?

    USA Will Invest in High-Speed ​​Train to Fight Climate Change
  • 300-350km/h actually. Although most places indeed average 200-250 on high speed lines, for example in Germany because those services often share infrastructure with slower trains. In France and Spain, however, infrastructure is often exclusively high speed which allows much higher sustained speeds around the 300km/h mark.

    Need to switch to Hanna Montana Linux now
  • I see a lot of people comment that this isn’t that bad and that it might even be acceptable, and that’s exactly the problem here: it’s a gateway drug and if we normalise this, Canonical will keep pushing the limits of what they can pull off before it’s not acceptable anymore, and that sounds when it’s too late.

    Are metric measurements like decameters and hectometers ever used?
  • In The Netherlands we actually use “hectometerpaaltjes”, which translates to hectometer-signs. They are numbered signs placed on regional roads and highways every 100 meters, which is a hectometer. Although not a direct use of measurement, the term hectometer still is in active use this way.

  • Have you tried a so-called “body check” meditation already? It works better for me than the usual thought-focussed meditations as there’s generally less fidgeting with thoughts but a calming form of distraction instead.

    is there anything much useful I can do with an iPad 1? (not picture frame)
  • Of course the software is a problem, but its hardware is the same as an iPhone 4. It has 256MB working memory. Most browsers take up that kind of ram four-fold to just have a window open. Although I do agree that any and all devices should have the freedom to run whatever software you want, even Linux would be having a hard time on a 800mhz processor with so little ram for anything other than basic terminal work.

    Do Multivitamins actually do anything?
  • Just wanna scoot in here and mention that yes, it can be very difficult for some people to do very mundane tasks, such as cooking an egg. Trust me, I know how depression fucks with your system and it indeed sometimes makes you incapable of spending five minutes on boiling an egg :(

    Temporary Changes to our Sign-Up Policy
  • And big corp wants to smother it before it’s bigger. It perfectly makes sense. It’s so much more difficult to kill a service/movement when it’s already widely adopted and popular. Identifying small, new players in the field and disrupting those takes very few resources for them, a rounding error, if you will.

    The fediverse has the potential to be a threat to some big corps out there, and Lemmy is just one speck in a sea of a lot of specks. Together those specks are growing the fediverse, and the only way to disrupt it is to get rid of those specks.

    Supermarket AI meal planner app suggests recipe that would create chlorine gas
  • Seriously though. It could be so easy: there’s a wealth of websites with huge collections of recipes. An app/feature like this from the supermarket company would potentially generate huge amounts of a traffic to such a site making a collaboration mutually beneficial. And yet, they go with some half-assed AI-“solution”, probably because the markering team starts moaning when AI’s mentioned.

    That, or this was all intentional to go viral as a supermarket. Bad publicity is still publicity!

    Can Far Cry 5 be played stealthily?
  • I definitely did a stealthy playthrough, I can’t say if that influenced the amount of enemies or their aggression levels in doing so. My guess would be no, as most enemies turn idle if you’re undetected for long enough. However, the game does force you to play aggressive and out in the open in some (fixed) instances, which makes a full stealth playthrough impossible. Not the best game to play in stealth, but definitely fun enough, especially with a bow or sniper rifle. In some instances it even really got OP, wiping out complete outposts while in stealth. Still fun though. The devs did definitely take stealth seriously in making the game.

    What is an extremely dangerous thing that we use daily?
  • But that’s the thing: like you say, people are naturally prone to “mind-wander”, keeping that in mind and to then compare the amount of rigorous training and checking that pilots have to go through compared to the in comparison measly process of acquiring a driver’s license (and then indefinitely keeping it with no questions asked unless you do indeed run somebody over) is absolutely mind-boggling. Some countries have some safequards in place such as required driving-tests when you reach a certain age as a driver but it still does in no way account for how much of a murder-machine cars are and how casual we are about just about everyone with a shrimp for a brain driving them.

  • 100% for traffic/numbers to show investors and advertising companies. Don’t give them the satisfaction, it’s better to stay away.
