A lot of bots would lose their jobs if Twitter shut down. Think of the computers!

They might go to war against the leaders within the country instead. Trump is really playing with fire here, messing with the gun-toting constituents of his.

It was never supposed to be evidence. It was supposed to be an excuse.

Try comprehending what he wrote instead of spewing insults, it might make you smarter. He’s clearly not an AI bro.

Of course they aren’t, but the cartoonish levels of moustache-twirling villainy described here are unlikely to be real.

They thought it was cool. They knew it would drive usage and make money. They shit on intellectual property. There is no other explanation needed, nor is it sensible.

Animation is a totally different beast than still images, of course. Almost all AI video is complete shit right now.

The law very, VERY often violates the democratic choices of the people in the United States. That’s what you get when you do FPTP voting schemes.

Millions of bees is not very many. That’s like one smallish operation.

I’m sure it’s actually a much bigger problem than the numbers they have.

Edit: ah I see now, the article says hundreds of millions of bees, and this post missed a couple words.

The moralistic outrage is that people still have an outdated concept of intellectual property, and a blanket fear of corporations owning technological progress.

The truth is, no one can actually own an idea or style. But we have laws that try to make it a real thing. Because of regulatory capture, copyright truly only benefits corporations with lots of money, not all the little indie artists that actually would need it.

Hell, most these indie artists make their money drawing and selling fanart, which is the most literal definition of copying. Yet no one worries about that.

OpenAI picked Studio Ghibli because Miyazaki hates their approach.

I highly doubt it. They picked it because the Ghibli style is very popular among users. There’s also no reason to believe that it violates “democratic values”. Since it’s popular, the general population is voting that they LIKE it, not that they oppose it.

Downvote me all you like, but this is trying to put a lot of malice where the simpler explanation is just “money”.

You seem to have the false assumption that all AI is owned by corporations, and that it is only used for business purposes.

If I’m using AI running locally on my own machine, for my own amusement or even (heaven forbid) productivity, there is nothing unethical about that.

I’m not shocked that the oldest generation of animators are anti-AI art. The quality isn’t professional yet (even with the newest models) but it’s just good enough now that it’s easier to slap together something with AI than to pay a real artist. Quality vs cost/time tradeoffs are hard for real professionals to accept.

To be fair, a social media platform IS valuable data for an AI company. But we all know this is just a self-dealing bailout using investor money.

The difference is that aged people tend to forget their training more. I’m not worried about the youngins.

Truth is truth, no matter the source.

The most efficient is obviously a combination of methods, using the fastest methods for each leg of the journey.

In the US, right now, taking a car from point to point, then walking into your location is the fastest combination in most cases.

That’s a risky move, both physically and legally.

Option 2 should be easy to prove, so why didn’t they do that already, like literally the same day they were accused of it? Then their funds wouldn’t have been frozen.

Agreed, I like both their mechanical pencils and pens, even if visually they are a bit too close.

Yeah if they follow through on their threats to leave Lemmy, it will simply end up being a more peaceful place. We don’t need this kind of manufactured drama here.
