I had to stop watching that show because too many episodes were hitting too close to home.

Right, but this uterus isn’t in a woman.

I think the incels want the sex part and not necessarily the kids part tho – this would give you the opposite

Brave New World, here we come…

Seriously. When downloading an MP3 carries a fine of $30,000 to as much as $150,000 per download, damages of a measly $5,000 maximum for facilitating, enabling and even encouraging child exploitation is beyond insulting.

While a win, it’s pocket change for Meta, who will be further disincentivized to fix the problem when even a loss is so cheap.

Jurors found there were thousands of violations, each counting separately toward a penalty of $375 million. That’s less than one-fifth of what prosecutors were seeking.

Meta is valued at about $1.5 trillion and the company’s stock was up 5% in early after-hours trading following the verdict, a signal that shareholders were shrugging off the news.

Juror Linda Payton, 38, said the jury reached a compromise on the estimated number of teenagers affected by Meta’s platforms, while opting for the maximum penalty per violation. With a maximum $5,000 penalty for each violation, she said she thought each child was worth the maximum amount.

oh absolutely, but generating tokens is how nvidia gets paid, and companies are terrified of being left behind if they’re not 100% onboard with LLM workflows

It’s not a metric it’s a marketing stunt.

I didn’t read it that way. I think he’s saying “bosses: if you’re paying a $100k salary to a dev and not also paying $50k for tokens, your dev isn’t working hard enough”.

The billionaire’s way

A reasonable copyright is a good thing - it gives authors a limited period of exclusivity on their work, after which it becomes a part of our general culture. What people are upset about, I think, is how the biggest companies are "allowed’ to violate copyright in the name of business, while the rest of us are not.

Traducción automática porque mi nivel de español en DuoLingo es solo 35):

Un derecho de autor razonable es algo positivo: otorga a los autores un periodo limitado de exclusividad sobre su obra, tras la cual pasa a formar parte de nuestra cultura general. Lo que a la gente le molesta, creo, es cómo a las empresas más grandes se les “permite” violar los derechos de autor en nombre de los negocios, mientras que el resto de nosotros no.

in America, apparently if you crime hard enough and big enough they stop putting you in prison and start patting you on the back and calling it good business sense.

If you owe the bank $100 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $100,000,000, the bank has a problem.

Which is kind of a pity. Anyone who’s ever written something on the net should be getting royalty checks from these fucks. I’m not exactly famous but I’ve written prolifically in my field of work and have gotten nearly word-for-word reproductions of my articles out of every big model I’ve tested since GPT-3.

I wouldn’t recommend it then 😞

How rich are you?

As long as you’re rich enough to hire your own army of lawyers, probably.

That said, it seems like when you’re rich enough to hire your own army of lawyers you can pretty much do whatever you want.

No, I expect they’ll be more like “rules for thee but not for me”

Unfortunately it seems to be the “expert” thing that’s important, even more than the “bird watching” thing. As it turns out, training your brain for hundreds or thousands of hours over the course of years is good for it.

Admittedly, we were not very good at this particular job.
