Yes, you’re right. It’s a word that is perfectly appropriate here, though, imo.

I dunno, I’m willing to admit I’m wrong and misinterpreted their post, but even rereading it and their other post in this thread really still feels like they’re using Jews and Israelis/Zionists pretty interchangeabley.

Richard Stallman, the creator of the GPL, a “copyleft” license. The problem is that Open Source Software is entirely reliant on a strong copyright system to be enforced. There is nothing else that prevents companies from just keeping everything proprietary, even if it’s all oss under the hood.

Why are you equivocating Jews and Zionists. This just continues to enable the Israeli-championed narrative that anti-Zionism is antisemitism. Stop.

Just FYI, it’s really weird to refer to Jews as Hebrews. And apartheid is inherent to the Israeli ethnostate, and fascism is inherent to political Zionism and always has been. This was a criticism levied at zionists, within the Jewish community, before world war 2 even.

That is not what judges have said. They’ve said that merely training on text is not a copyright infringement. However, companies that downloaded enormous amounts of pirated texts (i.e., stuff they did not have license to download in the first place) still infringed copyright just like anybody else. Effectively the courts have been holding that if you study material you have license to access, you aren’t infringing, but if you pirate that material, even if it is merely to study it, it’s still infringing. For better or worse this is basically basically how it’s always been.

I have no idea what Trump is proposing. Like most republicans, but especially him, he is incapable of even approaching understanding of nuanced and technical areas of law and/or technology.

May he be a chandelier–so that he hangs by day and burns by night.

Few have been as deserving as this man of the old yiddish curse, “Zolst zayn vi a henglomp - hengn baytog un brenen baynakht.”

This parallel long predates Israel itself, or even the holocaust. In the early 20th century, there are many letters in yiddish, and other public statements fun within the Jewish community, that were sent to yiddish newspapers criticizing zionism for using parallel language to “Hitlerism” and similar movements that were spreading across Europe.

I agree. I’m generally pretty indifferent to this new generation of consumer models–the worst thing about it is the incredible amount of idiots flooding social media witch hunting it or evangelizing it without any understanding of either the tech or the law they’re talking about–but the people who use it so frequently for so many fundamental things that it’s observably diminishing their basic competencies and health is really unsettling.

And if he doesn’t walk it back, it effectively collapses the economy so not like market investments will mean jack shit anyhow

It’s kind of mind blowing how dismissive of the ACA people are, even those who were aware before it went into effect. It wasn’t by any means what it should have been, but medical access unequivocally improved vastly as a result of it.

Immigration judges aren’t judicial judges, they are what are called administrative judges and do fall under the executive branch. That said, there is a lot of administrative law and procedure that is certainly still getting fucked by Trump/maga.

Daggerheart is not at all a PbtA game, though it borrows elements. It borrows pretty heftily from a lot of predecessors besides 5e, like pbta, fitd, cypher/numenera, and SWRPG/Genesys. With imo the last one sharing the most DNA.

Diffusion models iteratively convert noise across a space into forms and that’s what they are trained to do. In contrast to, say, a GPT that basically performs a recursive token prediction in sequence. They’re just totally different models, both in structure and mode of operation. Diffusion models are actually pretty incredible imo and I think we’re just beginning to scratch the surface of their power. A very fundamental part of most modes of cognition is converting the noise of unstructured multimodal signal data into something with form and intention, so being able to do this with a model, even if only in very very narrow domains right now, is a pretty massive leap forward.

A quick search turns up that alpha fold 3, what they are using for this, is a diffusion architecture, not a transformer. It works more the image generators than the GPT text generators. It isn’t really the same as “the LLMs”.

It’s interesting to me that NYC, Jewish, and gay/lesbian all had the same wildly incorrect estimate on average.

This…is an example of laws actually being applied to a wealthy corporate actor exactly as they are and have been applied to random ass individuals? What are you talking about.

Also, patents literally predate the US’ founding, and copyright is hundreds of years old, moreover IP rights are enshrined in the constitution. Again, like, what???

What? No, this is just basic common sense law being applied as one would expect. They literally pirated shitloads of books via torrent. That’s open and shut infringement and always has been. This doesn’t apply to scraped text data you’re licensed to access, or purchased books they digitized or purchased in digital form. It just finds that, no, you cannot torrent without license volumes and volumes of copyright protected material, even if your eventual user of it may be otherwise treated as fair use (or, imo, not at all infringing).

I think that pre-Israeli zionists literally used the slogan of “Arabs out!” might have contributed to early 20th century suspicions that zionism was a fundamentally invading and colonial ideology. But that’s just me.
