That’s it young man, I’m revoking your DNA privileges

The way I see it, creatives lose no matter what here, so they can either lose and only the corpos benefit, or they can lose and everyone benefits

OpenAI losing their case is how we ensure that the only people who can legally be in charge of an LLM are massive corporations with enough money to license sufficient source material for training, so I’m forced to begrudgingly take their side here

Ah yes, the famous Russian Number Kitty Stations

“The three biggest social media sites on the internet are nothing but screenshots of the other two” is how I heard the last 10 years described

Depending on how important these large language models end up being to society, I’d rather everyone be able to freely use copyrighted works to train them, rather than reserve their use solely for the corporations rich enough to pay for the licensing or lucky enough to already have the rights to a trove of source material

OpenAI losing this battle is how we ensure that the only people that can legally train these things are the Microsofts, Googles, and the Adobes of the world

It feels like such a solution in search of a problem, why would I need wireless earbuds for possibly the single device I own that, if I’m using it, will never be more than wire-length away from my ears, it’s literally either in my hand or in my pocket

Every single one of your upvotes on lemmy is already public due to how the protocol works, it’s just currently obscured by a bit of work to get them (have to run your own instance, assuming there already isn’t some online tool to easily look them up)

Making them publicly and easily visible would only remove the illusion of privacy we currently have, not actually make your upvote logs less secured in any way

We already had first Microsoft anti-trust suit, but what about second Microsoft anti-trust suit?

Every browser is either chromium (open source captured by Google) or exists because of a Google search contract (this represents 80% of Mozilla’s revenue), Google can’t lose

Chrome really needs to be broken off from Google, the largest ad company owning the largest browser is clearly a huge conflict of interest

Seeing that half of my extensions (it was seriously like 10 of them) were going to be disabled is what pushed me to finally switch to Firefox because if I have to find alternatives to them it might as well be on another browser

Yeah but I don’t think the average smash and grab thief is going to be smart enough to recognize the potential value of the data on the laptop, they’re just going to pawn the thing off as quickly as possible

Anyone smart enough to want the data probably doesn’t need to smash a window, they’ll just access the data remotely when the computer is on and the drive is unencrypted

So even then, it only protects you from the very narrow overlap of thieves who are dumb enough to need to break into cars for a living, but smart enough to harvest data off of stolen laptops

I still stand by full disk encryption accomplishing almost nothing for the average user but separating them from their own files

If you don’t have data on your PC that someone might be willing to kill you for, you probably don’t need it, and Microsoft enabling it by default for Win11 installs is crazy

Why would NATO have any say in if they accept or not? What would the threat be if they do, they stop providing them with arms and ammunition? Surely, if Russia is indeed so benevolent, Ukraine wouldn’t need them going forward in this hypothetical peace?

Sorry but most people don’t read Pravda

“But you see, hohol, if you just let me win the war, then there will be peace!”

Hexbear suffers from the nazi bar problem, they’re not ALL tankies, but they sure do hang out with a lot of them

I just don’t have the time to sus out who’s who and it’s much easier (and less massive-shock-image-spamming) to use an instance that’s defederated with them

A launcher owned by an analytics company? In my OS owned by an ad company?
