It’s basically one or two posts a day, so a bit more than just including them. OP has a grudge against vegans, which is weird in it’s own right.

The main problem I think is that OP ran out of funny vegan comics a long time ago, so what is left is bottom of the barrel quality. This comic for instance is not remotely funny and it’s a pattern at this point, none of them are.

I don’t think anything has to be “done” about it, it’s more embarrassing than anything at this point. I think it’s a good idea to call him out though, so new users understand the situation and don’t get the impression Lemmy is anti vegan or something.

I was imagining a tent full of them while I’m outside with explosives tbh

A man that acts like that will eventually be std ridden. I don’t know the statistics by heart but something like 20 % of people are asymptomatic and I’d wager a fair percentage pretend and don’t want to admit they have something as well because of the shame.

It’s to manufacture rage. You need clever tricks to get a whole population to hate any kind of technological advancement.

Publishers usually get about 85 to 90% of the revenue on printed books, and 75% of the revenue on ebooks.

If using copyrighted data becomes illegal, they will get 100% of the profit from selling their data most likely.

This book should be aimed at them.

Are you hoping Meta or the copyright industry wins this case? Maybe I misunderstood.

I mean a loss for meta is technically a win for everyone most of the time but I’d expect more pragmatism in this case.

None of that matter if, right now, you are cheering on copyright laws. There’s no reason to stop promoting change now.

Encouraging laws you don’t like does nothing but cement them. We are currently, as a society, begging lawmakers for harder copyright laws.

I get the Justice system sucks but making the wrong laws stronger does not make it better.

Think about what you are saying is all, you tend to write long elaborate speeches on why copyright deserves to win. There is being critical of AI, and then there’s being a mouthpiece for copyright companies. I’m not trying to be mean here, sorry.

We don’t get better laws if everyone is cheering for the copyright industry. Everything after your first point goes against that. Goliath, the same one that beat up Aaron, finally has a match in his own weight category, and you are hoping he wins basically.

It’s weird that your take away is “Meta needs to get it” and not “Clearly, these laws work for no one”. You don’t get better copyright laws by cheering for the copyright companies.

Aaron wouldn’t be part of the side that wants to lock up all data behind a giant gate and give the keys to a handful of companies. Well, we don’t know what he would think, but I’m guessing he didn’t lean copyright.

They didn’t say seeding is fair use, just inherently part of torrenting. Good thing Sarah Silverman has pc gamer there to pander for her.

I’m not pro-copyright. I actually steal content, as in pirate it and then watch it. I don’t consider it stealing to do it to train AI on it tbh.

“Our” data implies we collectively own it, yet we don’t, copyright companies for the most part do.

To be fair, I did say inherently part of. It would have been rude of them not to seed.

Thank you for the context!

Found this gem:

“I will get migraines imagining this thesis in libraries is credited to a boyfriend who likely doesn’t even know what SPSS is,” Prof Kutaywa wrote

I think the key is to be flexible here, there are a lot of other lines we can accept. Front line is good but lined up against the wall is okay too. They need to at least have a choice.

They are saying that seeding is inherently part of torrenting, not that it’s fair use. I mean, at least they weren’t a leech.

My stance is fuck the copyright companies and fuck Meta for everything they do except in this case, because seedings a good thing and so is Anna’s archive.

Ya, it could be better. Maybe a compromise would be to go with EEG machines which are less costly and can probably still differentiate fairly well (maybe).

“See this, little one? This is your great-grandma’s dick biting medal.”

It’s quite costly to run an fMRI. Not needed if you can get the same results more or less from a questionnaire.

They tried to run her off the road back then, I figure something worse might have already happened.
