like fix the grammar?

2·7 hours agoI think slop should really be defined by the purpose of the art rather than the medium. Any piece of advertisement is inherently far more slop than a piece of genAI art somebody made because they just had an idea in their had they wanted to express.

maybe they’ll start streaming in through Canada eventually :)
you might be getting them repackaged soon :) https://financialpost.com/transportation/autos/ford-byd-talks-ev-batteries
1·10 hours agoNot necessarily, the models can often be tricked into spilling the beans of how they were trained.
Exactly, open models are basically unlocking knowledge for everyone that’s been gated by copyright holders, and that’s a good thing.
You can demand it but it’s not an pragmatic demand as you claim. Open weight models aren’t equivalent to free software, they are much closer proprietary gratis software. Usually you don’t even get access to the training software and the training data and even if you did it would take millions of capital to reproduce them.
This is a problem that can be solved by creating open source community tools. The really difficult and expensive part is doing the initial training.
You can put into your license whatever you want but for it to be enforceable it needs to grant licensee additional rights they don’t already have without the license. The theory under which tech companies appear to be operating is that they don’t in fact need your permission to include your code into their datasets.
There have been numerous copyleft cases where companies were forced to release the source. There’s already existing legal precedent here.
The actual problem is the capitalist system of relations. If it’s not AI, then it’s bitcoin mining, NFTs, or what have you. The AI itself is just a technology, and if it didn’t exist, capitalism would find something else to shove down your throat.
here are just a few

This is the correct take. This tech isn’t going away, no matter how much whinging people do, the only question is who is going to control it going forward.
haha Canada’s not that different to be honest
I’m kind of hoping this means we’ll be able to get Huawei phones in Canada again at some point.
the quality of doom is just so good though
