i truly hope you're right. enforcing copyright offenses for downloaders is an absolute waste of everyone's resources regardless of who pays. piracy is a market force, and the corpos need to just acknowledge that.
ISPs just don't want to be made to police copyright offenses for free. if the RIAA/MPAA paid them money to aid in enforcement, you can bet they be doing it in a heartbeat.
i disagree. IP laws have more or less handled humans stealing ideas from humans for commercial gain. not perfectly by any means... but both the scale an impunity and frankly the entitlement exhibited by these GenAI companies is on another level.
no matter how many times people make the argument that AIs are just "doing what humans do", it fails to sway me. an AI copying, ingesting and tokenizing other people's intellectual property is nothing like a human watching a video or hearing a song and creating something based upon or derived from it. a database backed algorithm does nothing even remotely like a human mind. it's using software to process and regurgitate the works of others, and that is pretty plainly IP theft.
I'm starting to think commercial AI should be banned. if the only way to make useful models is by ingesting human culture, then all humans should benefit from it without having to pay to have that culture shat back out in response to a prompt.
there's an easy fix. it could be done with a single boot attempt if M$ hadnt made it so needlessly difficult to enter safe mode
they ran out of boxes, not nuggets
wow, i thought it would be a while before someone had the chutzpah to out-greed Battlestate Games. I definitely need to stop giving these corporations the benefit of the doubt. but of course, the culprit is Riot.
probably the logo/branding
the problem is that the AI misrepresents those results it's summarizing. it represents things that were jokes as fact without showing that information in context. i guess if you dont think criticaly about the information you consume this would be handy. i feel like AI is just abstracting both good and bad info in a way that makes discerning which is which more difficult, and whether you find that convenient or not, its just bad for society.
spotify is a terrible company. at this point i feel like they have brand hostages rather than brand loyalty. i dont know anybody whos actually happy with the spotify experience any more.
I'm sorry, but disabling the firewall makes this a wasted exercise. ANY computer connected directly to the internet without a firewall will get infected. Even PCs with modern, up to date OSes.
