How's that going to work exactly? How will Sony know whom to sue if they contact me and I tell them I made the video myself? If they do not believe me they will have to sue me to get a name and what happens if the court does not believe me too? Even if I did make the video with some AI company's product, I'd be the one who made money by uploading it not that AI company so why are they the ones who have to pay?

You can't cut the creator out of the legal process so easily: they are the only one who knows whether the video used any AI and they are also the one potentially making money from it. It's clear though that the problem is out-of-control greedy companies: the artists are caught between AI companies who want to trample over copyrights and studios who will dump them the instant a much cheaper, photo-realistic AI actor is practical. At the same time moves to strengthen copyrights against AI will almost certianly be abused by the same studios to come after creators.

I agree that laws should treat humans and AI algorithms differently but for that to work you have to be able to distinguish AI vs human work and so far we can't do that with anything like sufficient reliability..

Yes, provided that you can afford ~100+ quid for a ticket, live in Leeds near the station and the trains are all running on time. Even living close to Leeds like Harrogate, adds another 1+ hours each way without any other delays making a day trip much less practical especially given the extreme cost. That's also assuming that you are not arriving in London before 10am - if you are arriving before the cut-off the cost is 200+ quid.

So prehaps, if you are living in the middle of Sheffield, the closest city in Yorkshire to London and money is no object it's a day trip but for those not living near a station in a major city and whose budgets are more limited it is most definitely not.

That sounds less like AI and more like a sponsorship deal with Bud Light.

I've never met anyone who wants to live in a house living on the street.

How many have you asked? Why?

Go rent.

Rent's expensive also; rent prices generally mirror housing prices because they are roughly exchangeable options.

Re: data center construction as blue collar jobs program

Too bad they are not building houses, something we know we need more of.

USA's economy is addicted to bubbles. Without one bubble after another, we wouldn't know what business to be in. We can't manufacturer as extensively as China because we don't have a Xi keeping wages down, we have no fashion sense like France, we don't have Venice-like tourism because GOP scares off visitors (Iraq war era, not just orangeshirts), and we don't have great ruins like Machu Picchu because we tore them down to make casinos.

Our under-taxed plutocrats have giant piles of cash to invest in speculative shit, which often pops, yet we hope a new fad on the block replaces it in time: the Hype Industrial Complex.

A black hole gives us plausible deniability for homicide charges because nobody can verify their demise.

Anti-trust needs to go farther, and be automatic. Set a maximum company size. Exceed that half that size, and M&A is forbidden. Exceed the full size, and you must divest.

Measure size on gross turnover. Automatic and no exceptions: banks, medis houses, tech companies, everyone.

It's not the same thing at all. In a tunnel diode the tunneling takes place at the microscopic scale. It would be like holding a (very weak for safety!) alpha particle source in your hand. All those alpha particles being emitted tunnelled out of a nuclear potential but the tunnelling took place at the nuclear scale.

The difference here is that the size of the quantum system was, itself, macroscopic - the circuit that had quantized energy levels and showed tunnelling was macroscopic. This was a significant result although I struggle a bit to see it as being at the level of a Nobel prize but at least it's better than last year when they gave the physics prize to a computer scientist!

Hey, the US is doing it's part to help India on this grid problem.

Hoping the $100K per H1B policy kicking in, helps return jobs to the US and relieve that job strain on people and resources (like the grid) over there.

Hmm.....interesting.

black hole called Sagittarius-A* located right in the centre of the Milky Way. This black hole is currently in a quiet phase where it isn't consuming any stars, as there is not enough matter in the vicinity,"

The obvious solution is to feed it politicians. Then the Milky Way can have central bling like the popular galaxies.

Hmm - that site mixes operating systems with SSL usage on the same graph. But the other thing is - it's stats about public facing internet accessible sites. The majority of Red Hat clients are RHEL are internal or data centre, non-public. I'm struggling to get a link that works, but the 2025 estimate is around around 43% market share, and I'm honestly surprised it's that low.

Sadly probably not much. Individuals yes, corporations no. It's the new "Nobody got fired for buying IBM" - literally.

What they've already done - close it. See also Red Hat.
