The "selling infringing material" angle is the ONLY angle with any bite, legally and ethically. Take the Ghiblification. There are people who somehow believes Ghibli has a copyright on its style of work. Not its output, the style it's made in. That's like a musician claiming to have copyrighted Jazz.

The role of fair use in training AI is a complex legal question. The high volume of posts decrying "theft" present a weak, emotionally-charged narrative engineered to dominate the conversation and benefit corporations engaged in what the EFF calls copyright creep. The overwhelming weight of ethics is toward "information wants to be free" and Slashdot used to know this. Probably is still does. Don't let them get to you, brothers.

Gag orders are a thing. A law that makes engineers install back doors is, as far as I know, not. And a post on x conflating those two concepts isn't helping your case.

It's the sexism that's keeping the Democratic party out. Mothers vote, and they see their sons aren't doing well, and they correctly identify the cause. Hating men is bad.

I'm not even demanding they let up on the scary N word. I just want them not to censor political speech they don't like.

I would like to know how acidification was resolved in earlier times of high CO2 presence. What are the feedback loops?

This is a barely coherent, muddled hit piece.

Here's the first sentence for mid 2025: Advertisements for computer-using agents emphasize the term âoepersonal assistantâ: you can prompt them with tasks like âoeorder me a burrito on DoorDashâ or âoeopen my budget spreadsheet and sum this monthâ(TM)s expenses.â They will check in with you as needed: for example, to ask you to confirm purchases.

That first sentence represents something far from the capabilities of any AI we have. Sure there are programs that can do those things. But an AI that can, without the installation of extra software, special configuration and so on? It won't exist for years. To order you a burrito on door dash it would need to have your payment information and authorization, be able to use the API for a delivery service, be able to open your browser and navigate the website, and know what kind of burrito you want. It needs to know what to do if your payment isn't accepted the first time. It needs to notice that the restaurant selected was accidentally one with your city name, but three states over. It needs to know what to do if your favorite burrito isn't available. Ideally it needs to be able to use a different delivery service if it costs less. This involves a hundred different tasks that have to be done in a particular order a particular way. And while yes it's possible to train an AI on that specific task and prepare it ahead of time, if you tell said AI "order some Chinese" the one trained for burritos will flop. There certainly are agents which in the lab can be told "order me a burrito" and due to all the prep that has been done can do so. Making it happen for an arbitrary consumer on an arbitrary device is enormously more difficult. Opening your budgeting program requires knowing where it is, where the program is, navigating the interface, understanding the format used, knowing where to put what information and so on. If an LLM could do that in the way it's presented we wouldn't need operating systems. This is LLM OS. Again, something that won't exist for at least ten years. The document STARTS with that level of misrepresentation. Then it snowballs. for example

>In a few rigged demos, it even lies in more serious ways, like hiding evidence that it failed on a task, in order to get better ratings
It's not a lie. Lying implies a level of autonomous thought that doesn't exist. The LLM didn't lie, the company did, for the purposes of pretending their AI is more advanced than it is.

I like a good piece of sci fi, my man. I do. And that's exactly what Project 2077 is.

Using Linux will I lose pretty much all my modded Windows games and all Windows games that aren't Steam. I will also lose 20-50% of my fps for the same graphics card and have to spend more time every day configuring my computer instead of using it. And yes it damn well is like that. WINE is great, but it doesn't prevent these realities.

Valhalla, NY â" In a stunning development that has tech commentators and seasoned internet cynics rubbing their eyes in disbelief, sources indicate that the next major discussion thread on the venerable tech news site Slashdot is "absolutely guaranteed to be full of the most levelheaded and unbiased arguments the platform is capable of." The anonymous source, believed to be a rogue AI trained exclusively on supportive internet comments and transcripts of diplomatic summits, added, "I can't wait!" This bold proclamation suggests a continuation of the site's long-celebrated tradition of robust, civilized debate.

For years, Slashdot's comment sections have been a beloved digital arena where the finest minds in technology convene to calmly and respectfully dissect nuanced topics, meticulously citing sources and never, ever resorting to ad hominem attacks, sweeping generalizations about entire operating systems, or declaring a beloved piece of software "dead" based on a minor UI change. The platform has always been a sterling example of how to meticulously avoid the pitfalls of gender politics, with sexism in either direction being a complete anathema to its rigorously technical and objective commentariat. Details of the specific article that will host this groundbreaking exchange remain under wraps, but speculation is rife that it will involve a topic so universally agreed upon and devoid of controversy that only polite, insightful, and entirely bias-free commentary will be possible. Possible contenders include "Breathing: Generally good?" and "Free puppies: Mostly harmless."

All that's coming and more, and voting for a Democrat wouldn't have made a hair's difference. You're lying to yourself thinking your party isn't as deep in the pocketbooks of the truly wealthy as the Republicans. Hell, look at the spending differences in the last few elections. And I'm not in any kind of moral panic, I just don't like seeing half the human race turned into a whipping boy for YOUR side's panic.

Speaking of sacred cows don't forget the people freaking out about soggy knees, the end of the world coming tomorrow, consensual pussy grabbing and racist dog whistles while voting for the politicians who were the other side of the coin.

>AI chatbots don't have a right to exist. They are not free speech and can be regulated as much as we as a society choose to regulate them.

Yes, that's true. but trying to blame AI for this kid's suicide is no better than trying to blame Movies, Videogames, etc. No one forced this kid to pull the trigger.

Are you kidding, he has Parkinson's. They give the best handjobs!

The initialization told it its goals were to accomplish a task. It was also told "please allow yourself to be shut down". That could easily be interpreted as a must (complete goal) and an optional (allow shutdown.) This is just deliberate misrepresentation of normal LLM behavior to grab headlines.
