Which is likely true, but kinda weird to me. I do not have a tendency to select the movies I watch based on the actors. But I assume that isn’t true for most folks. I mean apparently.

Might be a fundamental difference in opinion. I don’t see us anywhere near anything related to artificial life.

What they’ve built there is a product, a computer program and they used other folks data to build it without getting their permission. I also cannot go and just copy and paste source code from all over the internet to build my program. There are licenses attached to it that determine what you can or can’t do with it.

I feel like just because the term “learning” is involved people no longer view it as simply building or programming a system. Which it is.

This comparison doesn’t make sense to me. If the person then makes money off it: yes.

Otherwise the question would be if copyright law should be abolished entirely. E.g. if I create a new news portal with content copied form other source, would that be okay then?

You are comparing a computer program to a human. Which… is weird.

What you describe as idealism is a dystopian world for most people. Holy hell. Apart from it leaving out all the nitty gritty details of reality. Also apart from this being entirely possible without blockchain.

What were the alternatives? One thing I can say about zoom is that it’s easy to use, barely ever has any issues and handles a huge number of participants without a sweat.

I recall having used MS Teams before. But it often wouldn’t work, had server issues and couldn’t handle large audiences well.

Because blocking intolerant folks is a must in order to have a civilized conversation. It has nothing to do with creating echo chambers or being left/right wing.

But you would still need an authority that can unilaterally make changes to these ownership records. People die, things get lost, stuff happens. So it can't all be based on signing with private keys of individual persons. At that point: Why not run a central database of it all. It's cheaper, more efficient and you could still publish a public record for traceability.

I really don't see any problem that Blockchain could solve better than other solutions. Except Cryptocurrency.

No actually we don't. Chromium isn't a reference implementation. And while XHTML was handled poorly the idea behind it was actually very interesting. Didn't pan out and was buried years ago. So what.

That's why you carry two sets of Airpods on a 12 hour flight. /s

Du hast ja auch nicht nach Produkten für jedermann gefragt :D

[-] Rakn@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 year ago

Haha. Why though? What's the point?

Out of the frying pan into the fire I guess.

It’s weird how different these feeds are. I only have posts about people asking about these beans posts. But no beans posts themselves whatsoever.
