Sony and 4 other companies basically own all music. If they can opt out, it gives them a defacto monopoly on any music generators. The AI music is still going to come and artists aren't getting a dime either way except maybe some big names that don't need the money anyways.

There is nothing to be gained from taking Sony's side here. Sony is a pos company that exploits all the artists under it. It will exploit it's data to create more profit through AI, without paying them.

Its either open source AI anyone can run at home or closed source AI that only a few companies can legally run, offered with a hefty subscription fee and censorship.

Each time this pops up, there is a rush of people saying to delete or edit your comments.

They have a database of your comments and all your edits. Its easy to see when you mass delete or edit them. Anything done past a certain point in time, especially all at once, is automatically reverted.

By deleting and editing, you are taking the data away from scrappers making the dataset they are selling actually unique and more valuable.

I think you need to make a special request to get that level of deletion that comes with gdpr. I'm not certain, I just remember other users specifically talking about how you need to send them an email so they have to comply.

I also wouldn't be surprised if their dataset is mostly stripped of user names to get around GDPR though I'm no expert.

All that to say I'd be very very surprised if they deleted comments in their dataset.

Very valid point of devaluating the user experience thought, especially when you take into account google searches. I'm sure they have already fallen off compared to a year ago where reddit would pop up half the time no matter what you searched.

Google unveils Veo, a high-definition AI video generator that may rival Sora ( arstechnica.com )

On Tuesday at Google I/O 2024, Google announced Veo, a new AI video-synthesis model that can create HD videos from text, image, or video prompts, similar to OpenAI's Sora. It can generate 1080p videos lasting over a minute and edit videos from written instructions, but it has not yet been released for broad use.

Why not?

I want to have fun generating my own shows and movies eventually. Just for my own fun. You can literally just not use it.

Tbh, it's going to be a lot cheaper and easier to use computer vision with regular 20$ webcams.

The only advantage I can see is for the elderly as a warning system, since certain changes in body temp are a precursor to health problems.

This is an awesome product outside of home automation though.

How to work with someone that regularly arrives as the wrong answer?

I work with a person that went presented with a problem, works through it and arrives at the wrong solution. When I have them show me the steps they took, it seems like they interpret things incorrectly. This isn't a language barrier, and it's not like they aren't reading what someone wrote....

Grimy ,

They are being difficult, it's quite clear what happened.

Anyways, no matter how vague you are, it isn't normal to think the email is the thing that needs sending when the email chain itself is about sending out a product.

Sounds like he has some form of dyslexia. Best thing to do is be as clear as you can with him and expect him to take things very literally. Its a tough line to walk though since it's easy to come off as patronizing and have him feel insulted.

Grimy ,

What part don't you understand?

Grimy ,

What part needs translating? What is it that you find hard to understand?

Grimy ,

I'm only replying because you were asking me to translate it and talking about variables. You aren't making much sense yourself and I was asking you to specify specifically because I'm not going to rewrite his whole post lol.

Grimy ,

Its the equivalent of putting his hands on his ears and screaming childish babbling to drown you out.

Grimy ,

I'm not saying it's a bad move, but that won't stop drilling.

The effort should be aimed at destroying the oil industry.

Grimy ,

With right-wing leaning people not favoring regulation.

Do you want to explain why you think this? It seems very reductive, basically saying anyone that doesn't agree with you is an idiot.

I'm very left leaning and against regulation because it will only serve big companies by killing the open source scene.

The bigger defining factor seems to be tech literacy and not political alignment.

They don't want them to, they want you to keep using gas.

Grimy ,

It just means there's a bias in the data that is probably being amplified during training.

It answers what's relevant according to its training.

The EU has restated its readiness to launch a trade war with China over imports of cheap electric cars, steel and cheap solar and wind technology.

Grimy ,

All companies working in the energy and transport sector receive vast subsidies and financial help from whatever country they are located in.

This isn't about unfair practices, since it's literally a common practice. This is to protect oil companies and the car makers who took bribes instead of pivoting and are now feeling that decision.

Electric cars
Solar panels
Wind tech

Everything else doesn't directly compete with their oil monopoly. They should keep their tariffs for when we aren't on the cusp of an ecological collapse, bunch of corrupt cunts.

Grimy ,

That's fine but like you said, nothing else is being targeted. Out of all the products, they specifically target the ones leading to a greener, less oil dependant society.

You were asking why it's being targeted and it's specifically not because they are ignoring labor rights, worker safety or environmental protections.

Grimy ,

I'd read that novel. I bet you could find a lot of creative uses for all that rapture talk.

Grimy ,

Open AI isn't posting news articles.

Is adobe to blame because someone photoshopped trump without hair?

Palestinian released from Israeli prison describes beatings, sexual abuse and torture ( www.haaretz.com )

Among candidates for U.S. sanctions, Israel's Prison Service should be next on the list. This is apparently the realm where all the sadistic instincts of the minister of national security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, find their outlet....

Grimy ,

Nobody likes seeing woman, LGBTQ and freedom of speech rights getting attacked. Its just any sane person likes genocide even less.

Not to mention Israel essentially created Hamas.

Grimy ,

There are way more uses cases to the average person than crypto so that's only natural. There's also a trust issue with crypto that doesn't exist with AI, as well as losing your money when things go wrong.

That being said, I don't approve of this nor adding it randomly to products where it clearly has little use. If people want generative software, they can just choose to install it.
