Cat girls are not furries. And I’m willing to die on this hill.

More like because the hardware cost is much higher.

Devs work on an open source project. They usually don’t expect to get paid for their time, so the fact that “python allows for more features in the same time” doesn’t play as much of a role (I don’t even think this is a fact, more like a theory).

The hardware does have to get paid though. There’s no one out there building servers and generating energy for them for free. So less the hardware costs, the better.

Instances AFAIK run on donations. If there are not enough donations to keep the servers up, there is no Lemmy.

Reddit could afford to be on python because they ran on VC money and made losses year after year. I don’t think that a donation-based platform can afford that.

Don’t need sudo or anything pre installed for vscode either. It will send the server to the machine via SSH and then run it automagically.

You can do that with vscode too. And probably many IDEs.

The only real reason for which you would need to use vim in such cases is if the target computer can’t run the vscode server, which I’ve never encountered yet.

Some people would not select google though. And google can’t afford people knowing that there’s competitors to Google! So better fuck everyone over by just disabling the integration.

Notice how you didn’t even consider the possiblity of just china and Taiwan being separate countries. Which is how many civil wars end (the US civil war is not the only civil war). It is also the ending that causes less harm overall. The taiwanese don’t die, and the Chinese don’t “give in to separatists”, because they are not separatists. You can’t separate from a state you never belonged to. The taiwanese were never part of communist china.

What the taiwanese want is sovereignty.

The threat of blowing up TSMC if invaded helps with their sovereignty because it both avoids the Chinese attacking them and helps the Americans defend them.

Don’t worry. This is just third party AIs. Google’s AIs will still be trained on them without your permission.

When the working class kills a CEO, there’s a reward by the FBI and is found in a week. When a company does it, the world is silent.

They should’ve looked at their star software product: Microsoft access.

They should be paid though

Spaniard here. Not only does my company not pay me for lunch time. It also demands it to be at least 30 minutes long. How is it even legal to force my unpaid time to be a minimum amount?

We need to differentiate between those cases because they are 2 distinct cases. And they are very different.

They don’t even have the same purpose. The purpose of a human learning is: fulfill a desire to learn or acquiring a new skill that will be useful to fulfill another desire. The purpose of AI learning is: increase the value of the model so it can be sold for more.

Lemmy is not an entity that is capable of thought. And I’m not Lemmy. I’m just another person and what you are reading is my opinion.

“Publishers are bad and greedy, therefore everything that hurts them is good for society” is a childish take imo. Not everything is black and white. Copyright exists for a reason. Just removing it won’t make the world better. A law being flawed doesn’t make it worse than not existing.

Don’t need to get philosophical about what is the difference between human and AI learning.

“Consumed by AI” and “consumed by a human” are two distinct use cases that can have different terms in a license.

Media is not exactly like cheese though. With cheese, you buy it and it’s yours. Media, however, is protected by copyright. When you watch a movie, you are given a license to watch the movie.

When an AI watches a movie, it’s not really watching it, it’s doing a different action. If the license of the movie says “you can’t use this license to train AI, use the other (more expensive) license for such purposes”, then AIs have extra fees to access the content that humans don’t have to pay.

So because you don’t understand it, everything it does should be legal?

It’s not rare maths. There are trns of thousands of AI experts. And most CS graduates (millions) have a good understanding on how they work, just not the specifics of the maths.

Yeah, they’re not selling a copy, they are just selling a subscription to a copying machine loaded with the information needed to make a copy. Totally different.

I should start a business of printers and attach a USB with the PNG of a dollar bill. And of course my printers won’t have any government mandated firmware that disables printing fake money.

I’m not printing fake money! It’s my clients! Totally legal.

Yeah. A human right.

Yeah, making sandwiches also costs money! I have to pay my sandwich making employees to keep the business profitable! How do they expect me to pay for the cheese?

EDIT: also, you completely missed my point. The money making machine is the AI because the copyright owners could just use them every time it produces copyright-protected material if we decided to take that route, which is what the parent comment suggested.

If the solution is making the output non-copyrighted it fixes nothing. You can sell the pirating machine on a subscription. And it’s not like Netflix where the content ends when the subscription ends, you have already downloaded all the not-copyrighted content you wanted, and the internet would be full of non-copyrighted AI output.

Instead of selling the bee movie, you sell a bee movie maker, and a spiderman maker, and a titanic maker.

Sure, file a copyright infringement each time you manage to make an AI output copyrighted content. Just run it on a loop and it’s a money making machine. That’s fine by me.

When you copy to consume yourself it’s way different than when you copy to sell the copy for a lower price.
