The FCC and the government at large isn’t to blame for this one. The ISPs collected the governments money to run high speed Internet to the rural parts of this country. Blame your ISP for not using the funds as intended. Maybe also blame the government for not holding them accountable for not delivering.
Creating material that is copyright infridgement is not a desired output
Agreed.
the purpose of guns is to kill (when used).
Guns is a term with varied definitions of which not all are intended to kill. There are rubber bullets, air soft, small caliber, and even paint ball guns. These MAY be lethal but were made with other goals in mind.
Nvidia on the other hand made GPUs for applications that revolve around video, the G literally stands for graphics. Some people found out that they are also efficient at other tasks so Nvidia made a new line of products for that workload because it was more lucrative. Gamers usually only buy 1 graphics card per machine, a few years ago some would even buy up to 3. In contrast, AI researchers/architects/programmers buy as many as they can afford and constantly buy more. This has made Nvidia change their product stack to cater to the more lucrative customer.
AI manufacturers depend on copyrighted material to “train” the AI
With everything I said, these AI creators CHOOSE what to feed into these new tools. They can choose to input things in the public domain or even paid-licensed-content but instead using copyrighted and pirated content is the norm. That is because this is a new field and we are collectively learning where the boundaries are and what is considered acceptable and legal.
Reddit recently signed a deal to license it’s data (user generated content like posts and comments) for use with AI generation. Other companies are using internal data to tailor their AIs to solve field-specific problems. The problem is that AI, just like guns, is a broad term.
the method of creation makes it more likely to infridge.
Nvidia has given us the tools but until we define what is considered acceptable, these kinds of things will be inevitable. I do believe that the authors had their copyrights infringed but they are also going after the wrong people. There have been reports of AI spitting out full books on command, clearly proving that those works were used to train. The authors should be going after the creators of those specific AIs, not Nvidia.
There is a long and bumpy road ahead.
This feels like suing gun manufacturers over murder. They made the tool but they’re not the ones responsible for the crime.
Agreed, I read it as League of Legends
Fines should be paid directly to the workers that had to work under these conditions. They should also be paid in multiples of yearly salary, it’s a trillion dollar company. The company pays more as a consequence and those that suffered get compensation. Maybe also a percentage should go to the agency (not Amazon related) overseeing this kind of thing like the NLRB.
1 year ago we had Will Smith eating spaghetti and a never ending Friends episode. Today we have a company sending $25 million to fraudsters.
You’re on the right track but I think your timeline is off. I’m guessing in a year or 2 AI can make a full Pixar movie.
AI is really good right now and it’s getting better faster than anyone anticipated. This went from hypothetical to reality seemingly overnight. Nobody is ready. The fallout will be huge.
But not before the grinder blades go dull.
So “technically” right but not “completely” right. Thanks for the explanation.
Same thing happens here. I was scrolling c/All at the doctor’s office and there it is.
Aren’t we running out of sand? How is this a sustainable option.
So basically Biden ads on the blockchain.
The hell they can’t
I agree on the maintenance costs and do believe that the costs were justified but I can’t sell my horse armor and map packs from the same era at a GameStop, now or then. Doesn’t matter if I have a digital or physical edition. We normalized this.
Xbox Gamepass and the Nintendo Switch online console collections are the future regardless of what we want. We are simply rehashing the launcher wars with individual titles at this point. We traded ownership for convenience and somewhere along the way we became comfortable with the same IP being remastered, re-released, remade or reimagined on a yearly basis.
Just look at overwatch and counter strike. New game comes out and the developers “erased” the old game/version. We are reaching peak games as a service where you pay for everything but own nothing. I was never interested in Stadia but wasn’t their whole business model a subscription service with individual game titles as microtransactions?
I had a CD collection back in the day, still do, but it’s getting harder to find somewhere to play those discs. Most new cars don’t even come with a CD player. So now I can either repurchase on some digital platform or pay indefinitely for a streaming service. Both give the content without ownership. Why would gaming be different?
Look at what Nintendo did with the switch. Every physical copy has a unique license built in. So if you buy a used game, there is a real possibility that it won’t play despite having it physically in your hand. We’ve had always-online-DRM for offline single player games for years now.
Again, I agree with you. Its just that this has been coming for a very long time.
Gaming has had subscription since at least the early 2000’s. WoW, XBL and Eve are some examples off the top of my head. Some even required the purchase of additional hardware like the PS2 network adapter. Anybody remember Final Fantasy XI or the now defunct Matrix MMO?
Today every console has some form of online subscription. If anything, gamers normalized the online subscription model.
$999
I have no use for a HR smart watch but at this price it’s not even a possibility. Hundreds of dollars is acceptable but this is a hard no for me. My Casio G-Shock GBD 200 + GadgetBridge has all the features I want from a smart watch and costs about $150.
However, I will say kudos to Masimo for sticking it to Apple. Not many people can go against a giant like that and win.
In other words, they took the Apple approach to right to repair. Disappointing but not unexpected. This is the same company that got rid of their “don’t be evil” motto after all.
That is was what they claimed, you are right. However that felt more like a boilerplate response meant to avoid a payout. Again, she asked for clarity on what that meant but never got a real response. I’m sure even now she didn’t get an answer. She was an account executive at the end of the year, not a greeter at Walmart. She was not on a PIP and was exceeding her KPIs, according to the video. Even her boss was shocked. If they had real data to prove their point, they would have brought it up then and there. Instead she got crickets. The whole thing reminds of the King of the Hill episode where Dale gets hired to fire people.
Last in first out, wasn’t that what was claimed in the actual video. Didn’t she bring up being there for only a month? And even then, that was time worked during the holidays. So the person just finished onboarding and was let go immediately after. Sounds like her specific case follows what they do in Sweden. In the video she asked again and again what she did and was met with a wall of we will talk about it later. I’m on her side wholeheartedly but let’s not try to normalize this behavior with laws. A new job should be a time for celebration and excitement.
Yeah but you’re not the CEO of the company.
I still have that feature on a few different browsers. Mobile and desktop. What browser are you using that doesn’t?
