If vaccination is just as bad for children as the Catholic church then he's going to ban both of them, right? 🙄
My point is that you can't talk about usage rights of a dataset without talking about a specific use case. The suggested use case was to provide a static test dataset for systems developed to use the firehose API, but the dataset could be used for literally anything from making funny memes (fair use) to training a LLM model (arguably not fair use). Does the existence of an illegal use case automatically mean the dataset itself should be illegal though?
As a collorary, a photocopier can be used to create unauthorized reproductions of copyrighted works. Should making and disturbing photocopiers be illegal because they are capable of and used in the process of violating copyright law, or should we accept the photocopier absent of a use case isn't breaking any laws and go after the people who use them to illegally create unauthorized reproductions?
The problem with option A is that you can't force countries to simply take deported people, even their own citizens. That's why they need the military, to set up option B.
The Nazis did the same thing saying the camps were only a holding pen while the people were being deported. But when they couldn't deport enough of them and the camps were getting full, well, they thought of a "final solution".
This is a bit of a nuanced issue though. The person merely published a dataset made from publicly available data than anyone can re-create themselves using the Bluesky Firehose API. Could it be used to train a model? Yes, but that isn't the only use case and the person who posted it has no control over what other people use it for. If someone does train a model using it then that's their legal issue to work out, not the publisher's.
It's the same argument billionaires were using to justify silencing people who posted the movement of their private jets. The billionaires argued that this data could be used to harass them, but the posters argued the data is public and they aren't responsible for what other people do with it.
If your children are going to disown you over who you voted for, then don't tell them who you voted for! Family harmony restored, simple as that!
But no, they need that persecution complex to solidify the false reality they've built in their minds.
Even though cannabis is legal to grow for personal use (under certain conditions), it is illegal to sell unless you get a proper license and there are tons of regulations.
The real reason they want people to put content and images directly into the post instead of "lazily linking" it is because by doing so the EULA gives X the right to use that content for their recommendation algorithms and AI training data. External sites can be copyrighted and paywalled.
That would require that crowd to have a basic understanding of logic and reality, which they don't. The GOP can literally do no wrong in their eyes because they will have some conspiracy to blame the consequences on instead.
I find it funny that corporations can openly talk about hiring illegal immigrants and nobody cares... Like isn't that also illegal?
I bet if the government made hiring an illegal immigrant a felony and the owner of the company would face jail time, then things would change very quickly.
Yup, but thanks to unchecked capitalism, the increasing wealth is being concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer. The corporations using AI to replace workers should be making up for the lost tax revenue, but corporations also don't pay much in taxes. The shareholders don't care though because they don't need social assistance, all they want is the force of law to protect their capital and keep the working class in line.
Old people don't pay much in taxes and AI doesn't pay tax at all, so without the tax revenue of regular working class people all the social security benefits that the old people rely on will go bankrupt.
But the problem is that phosphorus and nitrogen are actually bad for aquatic ecosystems: https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/what-phosphorus-and-why-are-concerns-mounting-about-its-environmental-impact
It's more important than ever to find and support local, independent news. The major news outlets all have corporate and capital biases that are going to get worse.
A free trade agreement with orange guy who literally said his favourite word was tariff? Hahah! Oh wait they're serious? Let me laugh even harder.
And the twist is 99.9% of Republican voters think they are in the in-group just because the leopards haven't eaten their faces yet.
You better jump on this one because there will never be a 3rd. 🥲
Yeah, and due to the falling replacement rate the world population itself is starting to level off and may even start to decline. That's why conservative political parties are all doing everything they can to force people into having children, because large corporations can only exist with a large and ever growing customer base.
I mean the business case is clear: It's way harder to pirate a game that forces everyone to connect to the server to work at all, then when a new version comes out you shut down the old servers and force everyone to buy the newer one. Welcome to late stage capitalism where you'll own nothing and be happy!
