I think we need to re-examine what copyright should be. There’s nothing inherently immoral about “piracy” when the original creator gets almost nothing for their work after the initial release.

The difference is that the llm has the ability to consume and remember all available information whereas a human would have difficulty remembering everything in detail. We still see humans unintentionally remaking things they’ve heard before. Comedians have unintentionally stolen jokes they’ve heard. Every songwriter has unintentionally “discovered” a catchy tune which is actually someone else’s. We have fanfiction and parody. Most people’s personalities are just an amalgamation of everyone and everything they’ve ever seen, not unlike an llm themselves.

It’s two different things happening. One is redistribution, which isn’t allowed and the other is fair use, which is allowed. You can’t ban someone from writing a detailed synopsis of your book. That’s all an llm is doing. It’s no different than a human reading the material and then using that to write something similar.

I’m pretty wary of helping even those organizations. It starts to become apparent when the people in charge are only really in it for their own clout, or they’re afraid of losing power over the organization, or even worse they are just using the organization for perks and socializing.

I can’t remember, but my dad said before he retired he would just pirate Wolfram because he was too old to bother learning whatever they were using. He spent 25 years in academia teaching graduate chem-e before moving to the private sector. He very briefly worked with one of the Wolfram founders at UIUC.

Edit: I’m thinking of Mathematica, he didn’t want to mess with learning python.

There’s a bunch of websites that give you the answers to most homework. You can just Google the question and find the answers pretty quickly. I assume the people using chatgtp to “study” are just cheating on homework anyway.

Only old farts still use Wolfram

YouTube recently rolled out changes that break these third party apps causing a 503 error. Other apps have patched this issue.

I just learned you can delete you device id on Android 12 or higher under privacy settings.

I sold a player on eBay last year, mfw the buyer also bought the aftermarket warranty.

Somehow it has public groups and requires your phone number. Not really sure how to find the groups though.

In my experience in the U.S. shipping with USPS is the best for smaller packages and UPS for heavier packages. UPS doesn’t run on weekends, but they are still very efficient and they’re unionized, which I support. They also have convenient dropoff locations/lockers inside pharmacies and office supply stores as well as their own storefronts that will accept dropoffs later in the day and on weekends. USPS has dropboxes in their lobbies, which are usually open 24/7. Not sure why anyone would use FedEx unless they get a volume benefit. I’m really not sure why anyone would use DHL in the U.S. unless maybe they’re shipping internationally.

I can’t believe that DHL is popular in most places, because in the U.S. you would be better off handing your package to a random crackhead on the street.

Yeah, but they’re idiots

So mbin compact view looks better on desktop browser, but Lemmy looks better on mobile browser.

Here is Lemmy auto expand content on mobile and desktop:

I’m struggling to see how the UI is better in mbin. Maybe I just use the site differently, I also don’t care about mastodon/ following users.

More options is better

We’ll see what’s what, prepare to be boarded m8.

They also bring in the most revenue
