Well, the better analogy would be that these victims would be able to do deepfake porn of their enemies too, or any other generated video that can compromise he-she too. Instead of the status quo of the victim not being able to generate anything while the criminal can just mass produce deepfake porn. Not really a happy world, but a better model, which was the point.

They would actually still benefit from public-domain'ing LLMs, because they themselves also get to use the data produced by others. Everyone gets losses but also gets gains on this idea, which is much better than current model.

It's going to be fun navigating Youtube in the future when 95% of it is robotic videos with 95% AI comments below to match.

Honestly, I wish it was the other way around, a video-to-text service that writes a good synthesis, a complete transliteration with formating, or even an expanded version, with screenshoot images if deemed necessary. So many videos could be turned into nice essays and commentary.

For physical media, yes actually. Plenty of DVDs still getting made and sold today, throught the world. Nollywood and Bollywood Films, latin american dvd collections, Japanese Anime collections, etc. Several different DVD player companies too.

Honestly, i wish some of those companies sold pen-drives or mini-ssds with the media, but that was never tried. Imagine a theme-shaped ssd stick with pixar movies for instance, too cool to exist. But a 4Tb HD with files will do for me.

That's one small step for AI, one giant leap for Dead Internet Theory (Reality?).

And that's basically what Truth Social actually is, and no one claims that Trump's server is federated.

English is vocabulary wise a neolatin language like french. More than 50% of english words are of latin origin, from roman latin to anglo-norman-french to modern french. English has also lost almost all noun declinations present in german and old english, with the exception being the genitive 's like dog's tail), and the plural, that takes an -s suffix (apple apples), which makes it similar to french and neolatin languages. So, there is something to it.

That is the true beauty of FOSS technology. Even if it fractures into regional forks, Linux code is open and free (as in freedom), so each fork can just copy-paste and compile the changes made in others if they advance the tech forward, no direct cooperation is actually needed (if everyone keeps publishing its works).

Yes, it is. It is very hard to escape having relations with capitalist conglomerates in most sectors, in some it is impossible. That is why having political control of the State is the only way of the working class to control the billionaires, if the economy side of society is not radically altered.

they would also be suspicious of kazakhs intentions with this move.

i think everything everywhere in the internet will be put to training AI at this point. Lemmy and other FOSS will be used too, but at least our data is public and accessible to everyone equally (including to some FOSS AI that i hope emerges), not a private property of someone.

 

''Keeping Up with the Joneses depicts the McGinis family, Aloysius, Clarice, their daughter Julie, and their housekeeper Bella Donna, who struggle to "keep up" with the lifestyle of their neighbors, the unseen Joneses. The comic coined the well-known catchphrase "keeping up with the Joneses",referring to people's tendency to judge their own social standing according to that of their neighbors.''

Amazing discovery i made while searching for b&w english-language comics from the 20th century (the likes of The Phantom) to read in my (normal b&w) ereader. The link posted is a small ''collectors'' book of 1920, one of 2 made during its long run (and is the only piece of the media available on the internet). Unfortunately, the series had faded in obscurity already in the past century, and there was never a ''omnibus'' edition with all the strips. But the comic was famous for a few decades, and the catchphrase is still widely used in north-american english. The comic in itself is still very funny and witty to read, well drawn, and the now past setting lends it an extra charm with something different from the current normal settings.
