  • Lol, if you mean facebooks AI will skew more towards the views of American Facebook users, I’d say that’s a win for Europe. It will make the AI less valuable, creating a gap in the market for a better AI that can reflect European values or american or both.

    AI does not need infinite data. They can easily licence that amount of content. They are just trying to do it cheaply with user content.

    I gully expect use for AI training to become a standardized part of locencing for media and content going forwards. For a band or singer, or author, it may be they ibky get a small amoint for using their content but it won’t be stolen. There is minimal value in any one part of the content. There is value in the aggregate of lots of data.

    Digitized books out of copyright have more archaic language but I expect we will see lots of media out of copyright being used also. Media organization that make movies, TV shows and publish newspapers and magazines also have a trove of content.


  • You don’t have to enjoy an artist to be able to appreciate their talent. There are lots of talented artists, I don’t enjoy. There are lots that are less talented that I enjoy.

    Those poor kids probably don’t get any of the jokes from arrested development. Wait, they don’t even know what arrested development is. Omg, we are old.

    I agree. I think its the image of success and being in the zeitgeist that promotes it more than the music or talent itself. It maybe just happened that previously, you were more likely to make it big if you were super talented. Now it’s better if daddy gets you a record deal like Taylor, rather than daddy forces you to perform and abuses you like the Jacksons.





  • I watched GoT all the way through and found it disappointing. However I’m now doing a rewatch and enjoying it. Looking back, the first season is less creative than I remembered. Its just played with great conviction. There are some great quotes though and the budget for sets and set pieces is amazing.

    On rewatch lots of stuff i missed makes more sense now that I’m familiar with the world and characters, even knowing how it ends.



  • I agree, but I think it is more complex than that. There are limits to free speech already. I agree that no one country should be able to censor others, but what about content that is illegally produced in that country.

    So if terrorist training videos were made in Australia, could banning them from distribution mean they could prosecute fitter for distributing them? How about csam? How about China prosecutes for ibfro about Tiananmen. What about CSAM?

    So objectively there are things some countries would want banned, but not all. Some that all might agree to ban. Classifying it might help but might that be more of an invasion of privacy? The web is built on lots of open protocols that assume good actors and no malicious intent. We are now adding protocols that increase privacy and security on top. Even something like the fediverse is a good example of the trade off between being public and being anonymous and being private. You can’t have it all.










  • Yes, but most didn’t have consequences and managed to effect change. Even if it wasn’t as much change as they wanted.

    It looks like they are trying to use heavy handed tactics and fear, as well as self interest to quell the action. Its unlikely to work well as most are doing so selflessly.

    In fact it may embolden others rather than scare them off, or increase from a peaceful protest to having masks for anonymity etc.

    Yes, many suffered repercussions for Vietnam era protests bit they wear it with a badge of pride now and conscription is done politically. Mental health of personnel. Is also considered more, RHA is to protests and sympathy.
