I could fairly easily ask a human artist to draw me something that would infringe on a copyright for a character they had never even seen before. It would technically be against the law, but given that no other parties know about it, it’s unlikely to ever get caught. The legal problems arise if I use that art in a visible fashion such that the copyright holder would find out, and then it would be me getting sued, not the artist.
A realistic take on the situation.
I fully agree, despite how much people hate AI, training itself isn’t infringement based on how copyright laws are written.
I think we need to treat it as the copier situation, the person who is distributing the copyright infringing material is at fault, not the tool used to create it.
I mean, Facebook already requires ID in many cases. https://www.facebook.com/help/159096464162185/
You’re required to prove your age in a bunch of real life scenarios too, like buying alcohol, tobacco, or a firearm.
It is a privacy issue, but the question is on the balance is the privacy concern worse than the harms being done by youth on social media?
Given that there are literally hundreds of university studies showing how bad this shit is for kids, and leaked internal documents from the social media companies themselves, I think it’s the better choice at the moment.
The same way Australia is doing it, a big fine for companies that don’t comply and add an age verification process to sites.
Will it work 100%? No
Will it work enough? Probably
It’s only not happening because companies aren’t going to do it on their own, the government needs to force it to happen, and the people need to force the government.
I automate business processes across multiple industries (not using AI currently)
My retirement fund looks crap, I’m worried about all of this too but it’s still a terrible idea to try to retain a job when it’s no longer necessary. Just tax the company a little bit less than they saved, and pay people to go enjoy their lives.
You won’t even notice when it’s done right. We’re still in early days at the moment where you can actually tell.
You have fun checking the fine print on every future game just to make sure they haven’t used it.
While we’re at it, we should also go after all the car companies for putting so many horse stables out of business. IBM for putting computers (this was a job title for humans before it was done by machine) out of jobs.
and a million other situations where technology has replaced a particular type of worker
There’s zero chance this catches on, nobody wants to get rid of a camera bump badly enough to carry around a second device.
I can’t wait for the antivaxxers to all stop eating eggs and chicken.
War
Just have it run up the coast, include Canada, then back down…
Everyone should get off X, I stopped using it the moment that Muskrat bought it. It wasn’t great before, but it’s turned into an absolute dumpster fire now.
Not that I am above piracy, but this is one of the only games worth actually paying for. I’m so excited for the expansion.
LLMs
For example if I need to generate a long formula for excel or power apps, I could write it myself or I can just tell the LLM the parameters and it will do it in 1/10th of time.
If I need to create course material, I can shove in bullet points for my key topics and have it expand it into a first draft for me. This concept I actually use a lot more than just for course material. It’s great at generating drafts of everything from statements of work and quotes to presentations (Co-Pilot in 365)
I know how to do the job without it, so hallucinations are easily caught and cleaned up. It’s a tool to speed me up, not replace me.
Business process automation. I use it for everything from communications to programming.
I automate office processes, improving productivity. So literally the opposite of a bullshit job.
If it’s so useless, why am I using it all the time for my job to speed up my work?
I really hate this headline.
They aren’t wrong 70% of the time.
The study found that they only successfully complete multi-step business tasks 30% of the time. Those tasks were made up by the researchers to simulate an office environment.
This percentage spread for different models is also absolutely massive too, with some coming in at 1% completion and others coming in over 30%.
