{{labeling it “theft” is both legally and technically inaccurate.}} Well, my understanding is that humans have intelligence, humans teach and learn from previous/other people’s work and make progressive or create new work/idea using their own intelligence. AI/machine doesn’t have intelligence from the start, doesn’t have own intelligence to create/make things. It just copies, remixes, and applies the knowledge, and many personalities and all expressions have been teached. So “theft” is technically accurate.
“Theft” is never a technically accurate word when dealing with the so called “intellectual property”, because the digital content being copied without authorization is legal in tons of cases, and because, come on, property is very explicitly exclusive. I cannot copy my house or my car, but I can make copies of my works for virtually 0 cost.
Using data for training ML models is even explicitly allowed in some jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), and is likely to be fair use everywhere else. LLMs are very transformative, and while they often can produce verbatim copies of fragments of copyrighted works, they don’t store the whole works or significant pieces of them.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like big companies making big money. I would not mind a law that would force models to be open sourced. But restricting them to train their models on public data by restricting fair use, it would harm them very little (they could pay something if they are making some profit), while small researchers or companies would never be able to compete, because they would not have the upfront costs, nor the economic engineering to disguise profits and pay less.
I think what you’re forgetting is that intelligence, in general, is an emergent property of recording information and learning what actions to take based on them. The current work on AI is essentially trying to take this evolutionary behavior, make it less random, and compress the cycles of iteration down so that intelligence emerges quickly. This whole argument “It’s not smart like I’m smart” with only surface level observation about it’s current state and no critical observation about how intelligence came to be, just sounds really insecure.
I get it. Humans will likely not be the smartest thing in the arena soon. But stating matter-of-factly that AI is inherently different is born from an emotional viewpoint. I understand there ARE differences, but no more so then how there are differences between a human and a dog. Which if you’re honestly looking at the situation is impressively close to human intelligence in such a short time.
I’ve recently had so many random freezes of the system, hangs on shutdown, panics on shutdown, freezes in system updates, that hard reset became a thing I did several times a day. Yet there were no systemd logs, nothing in dmesg, literally zero information on what happened.
I was skeptical in blaming Nvidia because at this point it became a Linux chiche, but then I started to switch to integrated graphics (disabling dGPU) and all of the problems miraculously went away.
Same. I use nVidia on Wayland, and experience more crashes and panics than when using the iGPU. With older versions of the driver, I could consistently trigger a crash when exiting an app which used the discrete GPU (such as Steam), or by switching between a game and Firefox.
NVIDIA definitely has stability issues, newest drivers still kernel panic on resume from suspend. Only thing more you can do is try to capture debug logs with nvidia-bug-report.sh (I go in during a crash via SSH, usually the system is still responsive for a little while after), and post it to the NVIDIA Linux forums. They do actually seem to use the feedback there, NVIDIA reps respond from time to time and say they’ve submitted bug reports from the feedback. Otherwise, after that yeah you just do what you have to do for a usable system and wait…
Way back in high school, we had a massive Mage campaign. Someone brought their asshole boyfriend who was a dick from the beginning by insisting that no, he wouldn’t play a mage. This was World of Darkness and he was going to be a vampire. And he kept being a dick for a few more sessions. Then they broke up, so the DM had his character sucked into an air vent and mushed into a pulp by the razor sharp extraction fans while we were walking down a corridor. And we all moved on like it never happened.
This image is fairly old, and I have disagreed with it from the get go. Chaotic evil is tying as many knots as possible, forcing one to cut the bag open.
You’ll need an extra feat to add the time delayed parameter selection metamagic.
Or you could just imbue a nino-magatama with it and give it to a fellow wizard to use it on you.
Just ask yourself, who is still posting on Facebook? Your friends? I hope not. The last time I hung out on that site, the groups seemed to be the only valuable section to participate in. But it’s ultimately just a circlejerk and you’re feeding content into a garbage platform stuffed with ads. Not a great way to spend time.
I mean at that point just ask what time it is, and then pair that with the knowledge that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and boom. You have a general sense of direction.
So it’s summer season. Was it supposed to be a bit to the North, or a bit to the south? Or a lot to the north? until when is it considered summer anyway? October? November? It’s still pretty hot out there.
The last time that happened, I was trying to hurry back home, before the rain started pouring. And guess what? I couldn’t see the sun.
My groups usually think of them as a powerful fey creature who sometimes just whisks people away for an indeterminate amount of time, only to bring them back later.
