This concept pops up in permutation city by Greg Egan. I don’t want to spoil it, it’s a great book.

Wait for people to buy cases of beer at the store and follow them. With a bit of luck, you can blend right in.

Serfdom was two steps away from slavery. You didn’t own the house, you couldn’t sell it or even leave. Your payment for work was a piece of land you could use for subsistence farming. It differs from place to place obviously but it was much worse then “regulations say no pets”.

Seems just big enough to put in an other smaller fridge.

I hope people are starting to understand that this is what the pro copyright media campaign is actually about. They don’t want to stop AI, they want to own it.

Text wise, there is no way to tell anymore unless the bot fucks up, which happens rarely.

Image wise, I doubt someone has an automatic pipeline where a bot generates pictures on it’s own and posts them. What you are seeing are real people using AI to make their memes, or people who are enthusiastic about AI reposting pictures they find. Nothing wrong with that.

There’s also posting bots, which should be labeled as such but I guess most people don’t. It’s just a way to bring content in, I don’t really see a problem with this.

And there’s vote manipulation obviously.

All that to say that the first and last one are the only problematic ones since it’s used to manipulate and sway opinions. But there isn’t anything we can do if someone is mildly smart about it and uses a proxy service. Llms are simply too good at making themselves look like regular commenters.

We could ask for ID from every user and cross reference with the help of governments to make sure it’s a real one, or have heavy and intense captchas, but who wants to do that?

The burden of proof is on the prosecution. They have to show he didn’t.

Best I can do is lightly bubbled.

Put a maximum net worth. Every dollar over it equals one punch to the kidneys.

People wouldn’t pay me for my bathwater in the middle of a desert. :(

I highly agree we have to deal with deleted content in a different way. Not only because of the loss of content but also because I think people running bots are combing through their comments once a day and deleting anything that would throw suspicion.

Access like internet and cellphone signal? If that’s happening, it probably means my little town is about to turn into a movie plot line and I am getting the fuck out of dodge.

I’m disagreeing with the positive spin you are trying to put on it. We have cops because of crime. Having cops is a good thing (mostly) but we wouldn’t need them if there was no crime.

Copyrights is mostly used by big companies to fuck with the competition so they can keep a strangle hold on the consumers.

It’s a deeply flawed system not in any way to our advantage. Actually having copyright laws strengthened so they apply to AI training would instantly kill the open source scene and make certain only a handful of companies can afford to put out models.

Copyleft is built as a protection against big companies and how unfair the playing field is because of copyright laws. It’s like saying crime is a good thing because without it, we wouldn’t have a police force.

I guess I’m realizing some of them aren’t so bad (Congolese and Canadians) but I don’t think I’ll ever learn to like someone from France.

I’m racist

People are always looking to blame anyone but the pool. If we don’t hold them accountable, they won’t stop.

Corporate espionage is about the get a lot more exciting.

So the rasp Pi is very versatile. It won’t work as well for certain things but you can also hook things up to it that you wouldn’t be able to with a normal computer. It’s also tiny. That being said, I’d just spend a few bucks more and get a new one. Raspb pi 3 with 1g of ram is very slow.

I fear ICE might bring smoke bombs to every situation specifically for this. I’m happy for the law in any case, i’m being a bit of a pessimist tbh.
