So… Proprietary Anubis?

It’s a good starting point, never the final product.

Honestly I’d be happy with a phone sporting two USB C ports, one centered and one off to the side where the headphone jack used to be, both fully functional.

Thanks, I had copy-pasted it from the website :)

My interpretation was that AI companies can train on material they are licensed to use, but the courts have deemed that Anthropic pirated this material as they were not licensed to use it.

In other words, if Anthropic bought the physical or digital books, it would be fine so long as their AI couldn’t spit it out verbatim, but they didn’t even do that, i.e. the AI crawler pirated the book.

Gist:

What’s new: The Northern District of California has granted a summary judgment for Anthropic that the training use of the copyrighted books and the print-to-digital format change were both “fair use” (full order below box). However, the court also found that the pirated library copies that Anthropic collected could not be deemed as training copies, and therefore, the use of this material was not “fair”. The court also announced that it will have a trial on the pirated copies and any resulting damages, adding:

“That Anthropic later bought a copy of a book it earlier stole off the internet will not absolve it of liability for the theft but it may affect the extent of statutory damages.”

I will shart a little

“accidentally” leaving an anchor dragging across an intercontinental internet cable would do it

Fingers and toes

It’s a loaded term that should be replaced with a more nimble definition.

A dog whistle is the name for a loaded term that is used to tag a specific target with a large baggage of information, but in a way where only people who are part of the “in group” can understand the baggage of the word, hence “dog whistle”, only heard by dogs.

In the case of the word “degeneracy”, it’s a vague word that has been often used to attack, among other things, LGBTQ and their allies as well as non-religious people. The term is vague enough that the user can easily weasel their way out of criticism for its usage, but the target audience gets the message loud and clear: “[target] should be attacked for being [thing].”

Another example of such a word would be “woke”.

Eh I’ll stay away from Xitter.

You will have your tor-connected 1024x768 anonymous window and you will like it!

Gotta preach where the choir is.

“Oil tanker spills 60,000 tons of crude into the Pacific after hull biodegrades, more at 6”

Honestly this would most likely work very well as advertising, and generate a lot of free publicity around the unconventionality of it all.

Absolutely, and being repeatedly reminded to get your COVID or measles shots is “positive” propaganda. Herd immunity is objectively a good thing, but any sort of PSA is propaganda. (please get your shots)

It’s like the word “consequence”, people always think consequences are always bad, when you could say “I got rich as a consequence of winning the lottery”, or, re-worded, “I won the lottery, and consequently, I became rich”.

Bref, if you are not immune to positive propaganda, you are also not immune to negative propaganda.

It is definitely propaganda against propaganda, everything is propaganda.

There’s “good” propaganda and “bad” propaganda, and whether you think any propaganda is “good” or "bad’ is propaganda in itself just by sharing such an opinion.

I want my get-off pocket >:(
