Blocked you for incivility and insult.

Dude Lemmy feels so much more alive. On Reddit I have like 100 comments and 0 Karma and 0 responses. No interaction at all. Every upvoted comment is just some random generic garbage farming for validation. Lemmy is SO much more live!

Reddit is full of Karma farmers.

I still use Reddit for the funny videos and nieche communities I don’t get on Lemmy. But I have to constantly block accounts because they are blatantly farming. Super annoying.

I usually block every account that’s reposting and has more than 100k Karma.

I agree with your sentiment. But I think LLMs are different and something novel that we have never had before: LLMs do not directly encode any IP information directly. It’s like our brain remembering a drawing but we don’t actually own that drawing just because we remember what it looks like. So even if they use pirated data to train the LLM, the result is merely a derivative. Since they don’t redistribute the pirated material, they might get fined for “leeching” here but not for “seeding”, if you understand my anology.

IP in general is very important. It’s the fundamental cornerstone of our society. Without any IP, our society would collapse. But it has limits: You can trademark a brand or a product or a patent. But a drawing style? I find that questionable.

You cannot evade country-wide bans. Federation doesn’t help. That’s not how this works.

If you knew how LLMs work then you’d know that no data of Studio Ghibli’s pictures is stored in it. It’s the equivalent of books citing other books without plagiarising. This is my personal opinion on this. I think the laws are unclear about this too because this is a very novel situation. I expect a lot of change and new legislation in the near future.

So? Just because you can make something fast with tools doesn’t make the art of making it without these tools less impressive or appealing.

It’s like saying photography killed painting. It did in some ways. But in many other ways it didn’t.

Who is making money? OpenAI loses money with every request.

How you even trademark a drawing style?
