Comment Are they redistributing the material? (Score 1) 47

Copyright is all about copying and reselling(at any price) material. I don't understand what the big deal is, as meta is not reselling the material. It is digesting it and using it. Which is the same as any person would do when reading a book. As far as I can see there is no copyright infringement as they aren't reselling it.

Comment They've been incorporating AI into things (Score 1) 98

and it's not going well. For example the AI would create a description of the video, that gets many things wrong or misstates things, like "This guy" when it's a girl, or "The maker" when they are doing a disassembly of something.
Also it's adding in default comment replies, often complaining about the algorithm.

If their expenses have been going up it's only because of adding things that nobody wants.

Comment Re:Fairness (Score 1) 93

Would this project take open source projects under it's wing, and do things like provide corporate support, corporate dev (for the things that aren't interesting), maintenance etc. Would this be a way to
1. provide open source projects development money even if they aren't part of the post open world.
2. provide systematic methods of corporate sponsorship

Also would this be a new license, replacing other ones out there, (if so how would/could that happen with many developers on a single project). or would this be an additional license?

Comment Software services on hardware (Score 1) 64

I wonder how this would affect the following case.
Once upon a time I bought a cool clock from Sony that you could download cool faces and software that made it do different things.
Then sony shut down the servers.
Then my cool clock was just a clock with nothing special except an expensive purchase price.

Comment Elon ripping off Tesla shareholders. (Score 1) 70

Elon roled out AI at Tesla with great fanfare, talking about the DOJO and so on. Then he made an AI company that took resources that should have gone to Tesla. Now he want's Tesla to pay him for the AI company. That sounds like a great business plan. Maybe he shouldn't have gotten that stock compensation afterall.

Comment I watched 1/2 of it.... (Score 1) 94

then the power went out. Not sure if I'm going back. I thnk netflix needs better stuff. It seems all anime (cartoon person running and yelling in every fucking preview) Dubbed so badly it's unwatchable or just plain stupid "comedy" shows that aren't funny.
Starting to wonder why I subscribe.

Comment It's not the cold war anymore, it's the AI war (Score 1) 15

I've been saying for the last decade that AI is the new warzone. China has been using it to track people, and google/meta/microsoft have been using it to track people.
Anyone saying that AI needs to slow down, doesn't understand the reality. If we slow down, we fall behind.
