Hup!

Nope people are just acting like ChatGPT is making commercial use of the content. Knowing a quote from a book isn’t copyright infringement. Selling that quote is. Also it doesn’t need to be content stored 1:1 somewhere to be infringement. That misses the point. If you’re making money of a synopsis you wrote based on imperfect memory and in your own words it’s still copyright infringment until you sign a licensing agreement with JK. Even transforming what you read into a different medium like a painting or poetry cam infinge the original authors copyrights.

Now mull that over and tell us what you think about modern copyright laws.

This is how distopias happen. Hell this is how fascism sneaks up on people if they aren’t paying close attention.

Not sure what industry you’re in but that sounds like a fair wages and training problem, not an ambition problem. Most people are content to advance in an industry for the sake of job security and professional development, even if they don’t have a particular passion for the specific job role, as long as they are being compensated fairly and see a path for advancement or transferable skills.

And presumably a human who works has some intention to get it right so they can prove their worth or learn or any of a million reasons to want to succeed at work.

ChatGPT is just math in a black box that spits out random language stems filtered and organized by the input parameters you choose.

Jokes on you scammers. Can’t deepfake me with a friend’s face if I don’t got any friends to deepfake.

And the funny part is that ChatGPT isn’t good enough at anything to be trusted with doing it alone. You still need an expert on the subject matter to proofread anything that will be seen by the public or used to make a business decision.

This is a great question to use because how many of these people have given their smartphone location permissions? Google knows when they speed already.

Not all parasites cause severe food poisoning or make you sick immediately. They depend on your survival for their life cycle. When they make you sick depends on the parasites life cycle. He and Bella both probably could benefit from treatment for parasites.

I’ve found a clever way to counter those folks is to say, “you might be right, and as the apex species it’s our moral obligation to seize control and protect the natural order of things for as long as we are able to slow the coming of hell on earth. Just like our right to shoot guns. Yee haw.”

Mankind is roughly 9 meals between civilization and chaos.

So we basically understand “weather” for roughly 8ppm of earth’s life. That said, we can infer much amount about climate (not weather, climate) from much older archeological and even paleontological evidence.

Will end the current age of civilization? Most definitely.

Will it end organized societies as we know them? Probably?

Will the human beings go extinct? Probably not. Its not crazy to think that we’d face a bottleneck of only a few hundred million humans or less. But there are people all across the economic and geographic spectrum who are prepping. The rich will survive at their polar fortresses. The poorer will survive underground, or at high altitudes.

That’s like fining a person 0.01 per day for speeding. The company sees it as a limited time only discount and invitation to do it a TON right now and get people accustomed to it, before the people who don’t like it start complaining louder. From Facebooks perspective its a black Friday sale on Norwegian data.

How many hobbiests running miniature train sets in their garage have monetized those train sets? How many backyard gardeners sell their crops.

In most cases people who choose to develop and administrate an instance of their own are largely just hobbiests of another type. Sure it costs them some money. Many hobbies cost money, it doesn’t stop people from building things or growing things for fun.

To get the full context you’d have to go back through the history of 3rd party apps on reddit which is… a long story spanning years. Part of it is about accessibility and adequate mod tools (which 3rd party apps are built to support / official reddit pretty much doesn’t)

But the point is that this was the final conflict in a long saga for a small but extremely active group of redditors including a huge number of mods. Reddit might not have lost the rest of us if they played the game it cleverly and with some tact.

I was personally pretty comfortable, apathetically doomscrolling the fromt page. But then my attention was directed towards the man behind the curtain. The writing is on the wall with the mod removals, reddit created cryptocurrency, and the sheer number of ads. It was clear I needed to remove myself from that space.

Lemmy isn’t profitable, and doesn’t plan to be. It’s not designed to be a moneymaking enterprise, it’s designed to be an decentralized community running on P2P open source software. If you work in the web development or IT industry full time, you likely have the skills to set up an Instance of your own for little or no cost, even of its just a side hobby on your personal computer.

Yes, in a way this means we are the equivalent one of those massive ‘miniature’ train sets that adult hobbiests play with in their garage.

I’ve donated for a few months at a time back when I was dirt broke. In the short term the extra money can be a lifeline but in the long term it has more health risks associated that I’m comfortable with. There’s a lot of conflicting pressures in the actual donor center too. On the one hand they need you to donate at least twice per month to even get enough plasma that it can go to an eligible donor, and they incentivize you coming back as many times per month as is legal; I think it’s 8-10 times per month. On the other hand donating that much clearly isn’t healthy if you aren’t in excellent shape yourself. Do it too much will will make you more anemic and increase your overall fatigue, weakens your immune system, can lead to scarring in your elbows and a fuck ton of other lower chance but more serious complications.
