See this kind of thing here is what I think is a problem and has been a problem forever. We have two opposite laws on this, 1. Copying is theft (contents of a CD [software], movies…

The line is pretty simple for me, because it's the same line that applies to people. It doesn't matter what the training set is so long as it is not reproducing either the same thi…

Yeah, I am equally confused and I fear the law is going to royally bungle this one and we'll be stuck with something really stupid for some arbitrary number of decades or generatio…

That doesn't make any sense to me as a line, as the human set up the machine to generate some way to generate images. The human still did "it", the "it" is just one step removed, a…

That's too real and gosh dang horrifyin

Yeah you see that a lot when all of a sudden every single one in the US market yanks out every affordable option all at the same time or "mysteriously" makes them impossible to buy…

That's not fair. More like "cannot afford" as in can't afford to live anywhere close enough to anything paying enough to afford to live near enough to work for it. Add to that XXXL…

> They're really not supposed to be litigators of "what actually happened," which may not be knowable seems like best thing would be to be able to say "this is not verifiable" or s…

Seems to me it'd be a lot more high quality if you could simply have points about truth or things being opinions, or speculation, or rumors, or myth, stuff like that. Or simply not…

See what I mean? Book just repeats the myth in my mind, though as you say I guess a tweak of the myth. But you're Exactly right. Said by who? According to what? It's just a claim, …

Well maybe I'm a bumpkin but seems to be the fix is the truth, and if the truth ain't clear there's no reason you can't have explanations or explain claims repeated elsewhere aren'…

Don't even have to be about science, it can just be random little myths that spring up people try to correct. I happen to know stuff about firearms, got quite a few, from one of th…

How readable is it for someone who doesn't know much about this kind of thing?

seems to me like that's what we've got right now sadly

problem is that stance is like a vicious cycle. Can't get worthwhile employment screws everything from your family to your social life, worse if you can't drive anymore too, and al…

I reckon it has got to do with bein rural and poor, or maybe different kinds of european family cultures preserving different attitudes? Where I'm from in the south you didn't ask …

problem is nobody blowin the whistle on that and it'd involve a lot of hands. Might be more like occupy made companies aware of an untapped market and they saturated it with virtue…

I think it's because of how memory works so it's like asking "okay but what if I had a different brain" I wish. Retrieving what you learn is the best way I know to remember what yo…

I write a lot but don't publish anything anywhere. It's kind of like that bo burnham song "look who's inside again". I feel like when I share anything I think, no matter how revise…
