That can be solved by setting up multiple partial seeders, so none has the full file, but as a whole they can still seed it.

And/or seeding over I2P.

About a blog called TUAW, that took a nasty nap. Shut down ten years ago, but someone’s playing tricks, Sold to a firm, then Hong Kong, with some shady clicks.

They’re using AI, to write new articles, you see, But here’s the twist, they steal old names, a form of identity theft, you agree? Running old content through AI machines, A ghost from the past, haunting the internet scenes.

Debate is raging on the forum right now, Is this legal or not, gotta clear out the doubt? Some say it’s copyright infringement, a big lawsuit incoming, Others say it’s for SEO, the web game they’re winning.

But hold up, there’s more to this story, it seems, 404 Media’s the source, with quality journalism that gleams. They got free articles, with just an email sign-up, some say it’s a hassle, But privacy concerns arise, when online shadows wrestle.

One user suggests an alias, to fight the email game, Another scoffs at bots, unable to play the name. AI vs AI, articles in a rap, the future’s unclear, But one thing’s for sure, quality journalism we hold dear.

No need to shut down for 24 hours, just meet noise levels “compatible with life”, 24/7.

But that requires regulation, and if people don’t want any… well, then this is the effect.

Technically there is federal mandate to regulate noise, which stems from the 1972 Noise Control Act—but it was essentially de-funded during the Reagan administration.

the very idea of regulation runs contrary to many Texans’ political beliefs. “As constitutional conservatives, they have taken our core values and used that against us,”

Funny how those are the same “core values”, that have been part of Bitcoin from the beginning… but I bet these people will keep shifting blame, just so they can avoid admitting there might be something wrong with their values.

As Bitcoin continues to gain value, miners are building progressively bigger operations, causing gas plants and other fossil fuel emitters to spring back into action.

Curiously, miners don’t “need” to do any of that… but greed trumps all.

Bitcoin mining is the ultimate death-ray, focusing on places with the worst social protections, and it can only be stopped through social growth. History will remember it as the great teacher and destructor of vile social structures.

“This whole thing is an eye opener for me into profit over people,” Weeks says in a phone call from the ICU.

“God will provide, though. He always sees us through.”

The parallelism with the memetic power of sacred texts is just too strong. 🫠

You keep focusing on exit nodes, and your favorite groups of people… while missing that relay nodes still help, and in either case you don’t get to choose whom you’re helping.

Laughing off the risk of actually getting killed, is also too naive, in a world with zealots just too happy to travel anywhere you might be.

In any case, I don’t feel like risking even jail time for maybe helping some people I might like, while most likely helping people I definitely don’t. If you do find that risk acceptable, then go for it.

Orbot, aka Tor, doesn’t just obfuscate the source IP, it hides it. What does that bring to the table with Syncthing?

PS: I don’t know who you are, other than you created a new account just to have this conversation, which strikes me as a bit odd.

Did you create a new account just to misinterprete a year old comment of mine? That’s amazing.

“Give us all data about you… we’ll decide what to make out of it later”

What a deal! 🤦

At the next day… there were no politicians left. 😁

I think the idea of WorldCoin is to have a “wallet” linked to a single physical person, then you can sign any work with your key, that you got by proving you are a real person.

IMHO, the coin part is just a hype element to get people to sign up for the password part.

As for ActivityPub, I don’t see how it helps with anything. An organization vouching for something, can already post it on their web, or if they want a distributed system, post it on IPFS.

How would that work?

AIs learn from existing images, they could just as well learn to reproduce a tattoo and link the pattern to a person’s name. Recreating it from different angles, would require more training data, but ultimately would get there.

I’m guessing it should’ve been trained on more pattens, and increase that temperature a bit.

To be somewhat creative, it should have a large training set, and an iterative approach to the output. From the looks of it, this one is just a single step LLM, picking design elements one by one.

While I don’t think training on hidden data, or without the author’s permission, is particularly great… won’t the next article be "AI discriminates against races/cultures/ages" when this data gets removed from the training set, without being replaced by equivalent authorized photos?

Not sure what to make out of this article. The statistics are nice to know, but something like this seems poorly investigated:

AI overview answers in Google search that tell users to eat glue

Google’s AI has a strength others lack: not only it allows users to rate an answer, but it can also use Google’s search data to check whether people are laughing at or mocking its results.

The “fire breathing swans”, the “glue on pizza”, or the “gasoline flavored spaghetti”, have disappeared from Google’s AI.

Gemini now also uses a draft system where it reviews and refines its own initial answer several times, before presenting the final result.

That’s the idea behind OpenAI’s Worldcoin.

Some apps have multiple pages, some have a map, some show different timespans of weather predictions with different data, some show photos of places, some allow selecting multiple places but show them differently, some show maritime weather, and so on.

There is a limited amount of creativity, but a properly “creative” AI, should not keep repeating the same design pattern over and over.

Apple has copyrights on the looks of every element, and patents on the way they interact. Aldo trademarks, but I doubt they apply in this case.

Some patents may have expired (good thing they don’t last as long as copyrights), some they may not bother to defend (litigate) against small users.

In this case, Figma’s AI seems to repeatedly follow Aple’s design too closely.

Thank you for publishing it under a permissive license.

Option to change it to any flag?

Using the term “freeware” is silly, but consider this:

Is the act of reading/watching something, equivalent to making a copy? Freedom of thought is an agreement much older than the 1990s, it has nothing to do with copyright, and all to do with secrecy. If something is made public, then it isn’t secret, so obviously anyone can read/watch it, be it with a wetware neural network, or an AI neural network. Making an exact copy is either plagiarism, or copyright infringement… but abstracting a style, then applying it to some other data, is “inspiration”.

Imagine a website with a licensing disclaimer like “you are allowed to read the content, but not to comprehend or express any thoughts based on it”. Nonsense, right?

That… depends.

Lemmy is just a carrier software, its license has nothing to do with comments.
Instances however, each have their own TOS and can enforce license controls.

Ideally, all comments should have a “license” field, so stuff like instances with ads on them, or subscription-only instances, or CC0/CC-AS only instances, could inform other instances of their rights, and avoid comments that don’t meet their policies.
