Legitimately useful! Thanks

I just ssh to it with vs code. You get a console to install things with and what not, a text editor so you can write your own scripts or notes for things and a file manager to move things around. Idk if the speeds are the best though.

In his June ruling, Judge Alsup agreed with Anthropic’s argument, stating the company’s use of books by the plaintiffs to train their AI model was acceptable.

“The training use was a fair use,” he wrote. “The use of the books at issue to train Claude and its precursors was exceedingly transformative.”

However, the judge ruled that Anthropic’s use of millions of pirated books to build its models – books that websites such as Library Genesis (LibGen) and Pirate Library Mirror (PiLiMi) copied without getting the authors’ consent or giving them compensation – was not.

Pirating isn’t but training on copyrighted works is fair use, you just have to buy them.

Your stats about hate crimes (102 anti-trans hate crimes in a city of 3.9 million) don’t amount to much when taking into account the 3/4 of the middle east that encourages them, and their hate crimes usually end up in a hate mob hate burning someone to death.

She was also frightened the person was going to run her over, there is never a clear mention of an attempt. You can’t compare that to Sudan and their civil war for example.

Idk, when I hear refugee, fleeing the country comes to mind and there’s a clear danger. I just don’t see it at this time. Like, there’s a problem but there’s also trans hotlines and help groups, resources and ways to escape inside the country from even the worst of places. There’s no gay hotline in Iran. There’s no “I snitched on the cartels” help groups in Mexico. We are talking about vastly different worlds and dangers here.

I believe the chances of getting run over by a truck are less than the certainty of getting executed.

I was pretty clear. How deadly the truck is has no importance, it’s how likely it is to happen.

The standard is a gradient depending on how likely you are to lose your life or come to serious harm imo. How likely, not if it’s remotely possible.

It’s not that you’re less dead, it’s that there are less chance of it happening in San Fransisco than in Saudi Arabia. Stop twisting my words please.

Same for your PS. I never said only. It does augment the chances of it happening if it’s your government thought, since you would be handed to them. Most gangs are deeply embedded in the government in Latin America, I would say it’s essentially the same.

It isn’t black and white and these things do need to be taken into account. Right now, it sounds like your are saying sending this person back to SF and sending the person next to them back to Saudi Arabia are the same.

It sucks that we have to pick who deserves to have asylum. Its a shitty system but how likely that person is to die or worse if they go back should definitely be part of the thought process.

If you are gay and get sent back to Saudi Arabia, you get killed by your own government. SF isn’t at that point yet. I’m just being realistic, although the signs are there that it could head that way, as others pointed out.

Fair point. I guess I don’t consider the war on Christo-fascism to be lost and can’t really imagine it getting that bad but you’re right, it could very well come to that.

Well I do have a problem with worldwide quotas and immigration in general, I wish our borders were much more open. Look, I’m just saying that someone from San Fransisco probably has other options available and shouldn’t lean on a system that’s already strained. There’s genocides and civil wars going on. Being gay is a death sentence in 8 countries. A lot of displaced women and girls have asylum or sex trade as a choice, they simply don’t have options.

I don’t think it’s wrong to say we need to triage and prioritize certain problems because of lack of resources. It doesn’t mean the ones not chosen don’t exist or that the whole system shouldn’t have more resources.

I know it’s a tough time but I have trouble imagining it being that bad in SF. I know the situation isn’t ideal but there are only so many places available for refugees each year and some people applying are actually expecting death or worse if they go back.

Seems to be a bit tone deaf imo, we aren’t at that point yet, at least not in San Fransisco. I would be livid if I was from somewhere with an actual civil war, where whole villages are getting wiped, and see my spot get taken by someone from Cali.

I want to be clear I think there is a problem with how transgender folk are being treated, but I think the asylum system has a lot of bigger ones to deal with and its already struggling with those. I wish other countries stepped up and offered easier immigration if you’re transgender or something. This just feels like the wrong way to do it.

Seemed kind of obvious from the get go. Replacing lawns with plastic doesn’t seem like a smart way to go about it.

Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey has trademarked his image and voice to protect them from unauthorised use by artificial intelligence (AI) platforms.

Clips including his famous catchphrase “alright, alright, alright” from the 1993 film, Dazed and Confused, have been registered to the United States Patent and Trademark Office database, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports.

Lawyers for the Magic Mike star told the WSJ they had no current examples of McConaughey’s likeness being manipulated by AI, but hoped the trademarks could be used broadly against any unauthorised copies of him.

A secondary aim would be to “capture some of the value that is being created with this new technology”, Kevin Yorn - one of the lawyers representing McConaughey - told the AFP news agency.“My team and I want to know that when my voice or likeness is ever used, it’s because I approved and signed off on it”, McConaughey said via email to the newspaper.

“We want to create a clear perimeter around ownership with consent and attribution the norm in an AI world”.McConaughey is not a hardline opponent of generative AI.

He has a stake in ElevenLabs, a software company specialising in AI voice modelling “for several years now”, according to the 56-year-old.

The company has created an AI audio version of the ‘Interstellar’ actor, with his permission.

I felt the headline is a bit misleading. It seems he is just using the clips as examples of his work to copyright his likeness, which is more than fair. Laws around deepfakes are seriously lacking.

I just hope the court are able to differentiate between a model being able to reproduce someone’s likeness and someone actually doing it and distributing the material. The former is impossible to stop without gutting free local models because of how image to video works.

Look, if the minimum wage is half a dollar, I doubt the doctors are making 100k a year. I don’t consider us a great country, but it’s easier to immigrate here than Luxembourg which is my point. It’s not the best but it’s easily better than half the world, and the best places have stricter requirements that make it impossible for most. Mind you, even immigrating here was hard before trump, just easier than better places.

It just seems hollow to tell people to stay home and find somewhere better, when their choice are between here and Iran for example.

I also don’t think it’s fair, the current state of the world is a direct consequence of the colonial and imperialistic mindset. You still have to be realistic and honest about it.

Most do. I think maybe you should visit other countries. You are talking from a position of privilege.

I’ve been to countries where half the population was living in shacks with no running water and making 30$ a week. I can’t imagine telling those people that they have it better.

It’s true for the low-end jobs, not just top earners. There are Uber drivers that are making more then they were being a doctor in their birth country.

I misspoke when I said “most”. I’m just saying that with all its faults, there are many worst places to live in.

Certain countries are in the middle of civil wars, even genocide. Being gay is a death sentence in others while women rights in many basically don’t exist.

We also don’t have open borders, it’s not like people get a list with every country and all they have to do is pick.

It strikes me as first world problems and not understanding the actual living conditions in half the world or how immigration works to say “why would anyone come here”.

Most countries have terrible living condition and poverty wages, even for doctors and engineers. Most great places don’t let people from poor places come in easily.

We could have real regulations if most gamers weren’t busy being bootlicking fanboys. Stop defending billionaires and their money extracting machines, they actively hate you.
