This has to be satire lmao, “Joe Byedon” I meaaaaaan

Are you in the US? Then either guns or lawsuit

Both can be true!

Friendly reminder to not use pokey thing into those grills, use a mounting putty, stick it on there and be satisfied when you pull it off. Same thing if you have wireless earbuds where one ear is a different volume.

That’s even worse, like you said, selfish.

At what point does human creative expression become a sentient being?

Exactly! When you pay for a service you own the copyright, like having a photoshop license. I meant in other situations where it’s free or provided as research tools to engineers under a company.

The existing legal precedence

I know that’s how law works, but there is no precedent for AI at this scale and will only get worse. What if AI gains full sentience? Are they a legally recognised person? Do they have rights and do they not own the copyright themselves? All very good questions with no precedent in law.

Oh yeah I was just showing an example! There is much more to it then just commercial, but it’s a very quick way get the attention of businesses. Whether it be direct or indirect.

I’ll compare it with the recent takedown of the Switch emulator Yuzu. It’s my understanding they actively solicited donations and piracy, both of which could be seen as commercial activities. Which in a project of that scale the latter was their downfall, meanwhile Ryujinx is still up and running. But we’ll see if that remains true.

Really? Even if your artwork isn’t used in a commercial way?

Not necessarily, if a model is public domain, there could still be a lot of proprietary elements used in interpreting that model and actually running it. If you own the hardware and generate something using AI, I’d say the copyright goes to you. You use AI as the brush to paint your painting and the painting belongs to you, but if a company allows you to use their canvas and their painting tools, it should go to them.

Great articles, first is one of the best I’ve read about the implications of fair use. I argue that because of the broadness of human knowledge that is interpreted through these models, everyone is entitled to have unrestricted access to them (not the servers or algorithms used, the models). I’ll dub it “the library of the digital age” argument.

“Publicly available data” - I wonder if that includes Disney’s catalogue? Or Nintendo’s IP? I think they are veeery selective about their “Publicly available data”, it also implies the only requirement for such training data is that it is publicly available, which almost every piece of media ever? How an AI model isn’t public domain by default baffles me.

walks my groceries home like a european

We do buy bulk as well, I’d say maybe 10% actually walks them home? I guess it depends greatly on the type and location of the store.

how often do you encounter scales on self checkouts?

Every store with self-checkout has them, usually there will be one scale before you actually use a register. It gives you a sticker with the weight/price barcode to scan yourself.

It’s not necessarily about the value they provide

That’s how a business works though, people do work of value which the business provides to its customers. I know nothing of the situation is SA but ordering business to lose more money doesn’t seem like the way to go. I’ll agree with the other comment calling for UBI.

That article wasn’t helpful though, just a whole lot of people talking with too much conflict of interest.

So is it customary to tip the person doing the bagging? Or maybe a designated bagger will do it faster, resulting in less wait times?

My favourite system is where I place my cart next to another one, and the cashier will scan everything while placing the item in the other cart, where I could have placed boxes if I wanted to.

It’s the same for filling your car with petrol.

But how does this person provide any value though? That person has to be paid as well, and doing something a customer can do well by themselves provides very little value. It used to be necessary, older petrol pumps had to be manually enabled or had no stop valve that person is required. With modern pumps having a person fill up your car is equally unnecessary.

As a European, I have never once had an extra person there whose sole purpose is putting your groceries into bags, what a strange concept.

It’s obvious that you mean the same, but “self-diagnosing” internet content has been rising a lot, as humans we tend to see patterns quickly and video’s like that one simplify actual medical conditions into shortform video content, convincing people just watching these clips can diagnose anything. It doesn’t help your video has an obvious anti-science agenda either.

Oh for sure, the UX is horrible, but I find the UI quite pretty. Could definitely use better playlist managegement, this could be the same interface more geared towards music managing.
