Washing machine chime scandal shows how absurd YouTube copyright abuse can get
  • From the article...

    But while many think that YouTube's system isn't great, Trendacosta also said that she "can't think of a way to build the match technology" to improve it, because "machines cannot tell context." Perhaps if YouTube's matching technology triggered a human review each time, "that might be tenable," but "they would have to hire so many more people to do it."

    That's what it comes down to, right there.

    Google needs to spend money on people, and not just rely on the AI automation, because it's obviously getting things wrong, its not judging context correctly.

  • Why is the cc-by-nc-sa license disappointing? Is your disappointment exclusive to version 4.0?

    My only disappontment is with those humans (and humans who use ""humans"") who side with AI model using corporations that steal other people's content to train said models for profit, over regular everyday people.

  • What is the Legal copyright on a Lemmy Post?
  • what are you going to do? Sue?

    Personally? I let Creative Commons know what's going on, that their licenses are being ignored.

    I'm pretty sure they'd have something to say about the matter.

  • What is the Legal copyright on a Lemmy Post?
  • Ah well then I might try and find a license that doesn’t require attribution because I don’t care about that part.

    I would argue attribution is also really important, as it forces them to expose publicly how they're training their models, bringing awareness.

  • Has this sub turned into a training ground for AI LLM?
  • I’m a large language model and still learning.

    How do you feel about this proposed rule passing, and how it affects you? ...

    Reporting Certain Large AI Model Training

    In an effort to secure the development and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”), the proposed rule requires U.S. IaaS providers and their foreign resellers to report known instances of foreign persons training “large AI models with potential capabilities that could be used in malicious cyber-enabled activity” to Commerce.

  • Has this sub turned into a training ground for AI LLM?
  • yeah…its just surreal. I grew up when there was no Internet at all. Now we have bots mining data from a website to get more human-like responses (and more $$). Its a strange world.

    Almost makes it useless to bother posting on online forums anymore, if you end up just wasting your time talking to an AI bot, instead of another human.

    Which is a weird way lets the 1% win. If the rest of us can't converse with each other because the 'virtual town square' becomes so polluted that meaningful conversation with other humans cannot happen.

  • Has this sub turned into a training ground for AI LLM?
  • There is a dude (or maybe more than one) that in all his comments he has an anti AI flair, or something like that,

    I wonder who they are? 😜

    For the record, I'm not the only one, nor the first one, to do it. I saw someone else do it, and decided to adopt it for myself as well. I'm aware of three people (and one large company) who are currently licensing their content here on Lemmy.

    I wonder if that would have any effect.

    One way to find out. It's an easy enough piece of text to put into your comments...

  • Suggestions for Linux Distribution
  • Personally I suggest Fedora with KDE.

    It has a great update cadence time frame, and good hardware support (indirectly backed by IBM). And games really well in Steam/Proton.

    That'll get you the most Windows like experience on Linux, for an average user who doesn't like to tinker much and just wants it to work out of the box.

    Just make sure to accept third party libraries / apps when you first install. It's a single checkbox that you click.

  • ‘Psychologically tortured’: California city pays man nearly $1m after 17-hour police interrogation
  • ACAB

    Didn't know what that stood for, I had to look it up.

    I'm going to hope that's wrong, and that it's just a certain percentage in any professional caste that has bad apples.

    I am willing to believe that the percentage of bad apples is larger in law enforcement, only because of the type of people who would gravitate to that type of position that would give them control over others, and how much money is spent on monitoring law enforcement personnel by the government for legal and ethics compliance, as well as mental suitability to do the job.

    And no need to reply to me with every bad thing that's ever been done by police officers. I read them all, here, as well as elsewhere. I just can't subscribe to the 100% pop that ACAB stands for.

  • Boeing, NASA say Starliner astronaut launch will move forward despite spacecraft helium leak
  • Is it an external leak? Or an internal one?

    My guess would be internal to the engine/compartment somewhere, with limited or no access to the broken part, or else they would have repaired it instead of just monitoring it.

  • Boeing, NASA say Starliner astronaut launch will move forward despite spacecraft helium leak
  • My guess is that NASA has done the math and it says this is an extremely unlikely scenario to have happen, but they could do it if they absolutely needed to.

    I guess I'm used to the old NASA, where they would never 'play the Vegas odds', risk the astronauts under any condition, besides the normal risks of just launching in a rocket in the first place.

    Interesting to see how having a private business corporation involved would change that mindset.

    I do hope you're right, for the crews sake.

    Discord Servers asking for Phone Numbers and 'Verification Levels'

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/10799766

    (Edit: Cross-posted OP (link above) was mod removed by the Discord forum 'admin' on 2024-01-19 as being "False claim, false interpreted", so the above link will no longer work.)

    Recently read this on a Steam game's reviews section ...

    User Comment...

    > The game's Discord REQUIRES your personal phone number to get access at all. This is a very intrusive, and 100% unnecessary requirement, in order to just be able to interact with others about the game, it's content, player experiences, and many other things. It's also intrusive in regards to being able to contribute any input to help other players in any way at all.

    Dev Response...

    > It's Discord that's asking you for verification of the account. We're not getting your phone number. This is standard practice on bigger servers that allows for a better user experience, filtering bots/ spam accounts, trolls, etc.

    Could companies please STOP lying about it being Discord's choice, its not, is the Discord server's choice to ask for it.

    Its a "Verification Levels" setting that the server op sets, and they have multiple options that they can choose from, its not an on/off switch. They can dial it back one notch and still have spam/bot protections.

    The only difference between "High" and "Highest" verification levels is the addition of asking for a phone number, all other features of "High" is in "Highest", and "Highest" has no other extra features besides asking for the phone number.

    Makes it really hard to have an pseudonym account on the Internet, for gaming purposes, and then be asked for your real phone number. I don't need to be tracked 24/7.

    Slow down events spawning timeframes?

    > Hello all. I'm not sure how to phrase my question, so bear with me. > > Is there a way in DF to slow down how fast it dishes out events? I find myself being overwhelmed by the events as they occur, and not being able to catch up on resolving them. > > For example, if I'm working on resolving the ramifications of event A, and event B happens. Then when I just start working on event B, event C happens. And before I'm done with event B, event D happens as well, etc. > > Everything from when dwarves get unhappy, to new arrivals, to when attacks happen, etc. > > Basically, I'm feeling piled on and cannot get out from under the pile. > > Another way of asking the question, can any trigger time threshold on the in-game calendar be slid out into the future for all events, like at a slower 2x or 3x rate? For example, instead of the check for new arrivals happening every year, have the check/arrivals happen every second or third year, etc.
