Seems disingenuous that MS wouldn’t leverage their monopoly on client/game OS into the cloud as well. It at least doesn’t seem arbitrary and unsubstantiated. And prevention is better than reaction in many cases.
>If you commission an artist to create a work based on your requirements you do not own that copyright without some other agreement giving you that copyright.

Well, in many cases, it would be a work for hire. Certainly as a practical matter you can do most things with the painting you want because you own it.

Prompt engineering seems like as much of a creative act as many things we routinely see copyrighted. I certainly wouldn't maintain that the output of Copilot or images processed with Adobe's various "AI" tools in Photoshop, Lightroom, and its new generative AI program lost their copyright protection because AI touched them.
Huh? The current prophet doesn't "hate" it, and never said that God told him He doesn't like it either. You're putting your own words into his mouth. Let's be more precise in representing others, even if we disagree with them.
Where to post your AI App
I feel incredible empathy for the people who have had AI companions taken away from them. I don't judge (nor should any of you) and it seems heartless and cruel for the company to have done this.

I hope some folks double-down on open source implementations of this and get the community back the intimacy and companionship they need. Humans are creatures evolved to seek intimacy and connection, and for whatever and varied reasons, some people just can't find it in the real world. If a virtual companion helped people feel that connection we all so very much want, then so be it.

I hope this works out for everyone.

I feel like socialism has become really popular with the younger generation in the last 10 years, to the point where it's now very common to just see capitalism blamed for all sorts of things for which it likely has little to do with.

I don't see socialism ever really being feasible or taking off, because capitalism does have so many advantages, and I feel like the pure socialism many advocate for is at odds with human nature.

The goal I think should be to try to negate the disadvantages as much as possible through regulation, and this is what places like the Nordic countries, Australia and NZ seem to be doing pretty successfully - not there isn't still mass room for improvement.

It seems that there was a strong momentum in that direction a few years ago but recently I’ve stopped hearing about it (or at least not that often compared to the recent past).
Tucker made the claim that an internal USG whistleblower told him that his communications were being monitored by the NSA. Tucker stated that he sought the counsel of a Senator, and that the Senator told him that he should go public with the information. Tucker then discussed the claims on his television show. The NSA issued a statement saying that Tucker was not a surveillance target. Later, there was information that Tucker had been setting up an interview with Putin, and that those communications were intercepted, and Tucker's name was unmasked (when a U.S. citizen has communications picked up by the NSA, their name is redacted as part of the normal intelligence reporting, and it requires a high level official to request to see the actual name of the U.S. person). Subsequently, the NSA's internal watchdog began an investigation into whether Tucker was improperly targeted for surveillance. After investigating itself, the NSA cleared itself of any wrongdoing.
Part of the explanation could be that the class of super-rich people is growing (along with the class of poor people, while the middle class is shrinking). Google for “High Net Worth Individual” (HNWI) population.

This is extremely context sensitive. Antitrust regulation doesn't require a "compliance" department unless you're already huge and doing things that might be considered anti-competitive. Likewise financial regulations like Glass-Steagal[1] prevent certain types of organizations (in this case hybrid commercial-investment banks) from existing - I don't see how this could result in compliance costs.

Indeed, the transition to IPv6-only networks is a timely and important step, and this is an interesting approach. In my opinion, NAT64 in combination with DNS64 presents the most practical solution for home networks. This approach can be fully implemented by consumer routers, eliminating the need for any changes to client devices. If router manufacturers were to make NAT64 with DNS64 a default feature or, at the very least, an easily selectable option, it would significantly advance our progress toward widespread adoption of IPv6-only networks.
You're absolutely right. Something suitable will probably be available at any future point in time.
Note that, to minimize pollution from vehicle exhaust, you want to set your air to "recirculate". Unsurprisingly, the roadway is where vehicle pollution is most concentrated!

https://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-xpm-2013-sep-1...

Usually what I do is set it on recirculate, and then every ~10 minutes I periodically "flush" the CO2-laden interior air for a minute or so. Ideally, I'm able to do this "flush" when I'm away from a major city or high-traffic road (and not when driving behind a soot-spewing diesel bus/semi/garbage/cement truck).

I wish there were some way to automate this logic!

(and yes, my dear observant reader, if I could recirculate "only" 90% of the exterior air it would achieve the same steady-state result, but modern cars got rid of the "slider" that lets you select a percentage of recirculate air... ::sigh::)
> An “administrative economy” in which “money is no longer a driving force,” designed to “promote central control of all efforts and materials…in the interests of the people,” was on the horizon. In this socialized economy, central planners would engage in “calculation in kind,” or the practice of directly judging the value of resources or the desirability of large-scale planning without using any standard unit of accounting.

This sounds interesting, but everything I've ever read suggested that this is a bleak landscape that no sane person should want to live in. If I decide I want to dabble in oil painting, I need only stop by Michael's or Hobby Lobby on my way home from work and buy those.

If I lived in the socialist paradise, assuming that any were manufactured at all, would I be put on a 3 yr waiting list, only to get three tubes of ugly colors, or would I instead find out that it is rationed out only to those who have (somehow) demonstrated talent in the past?

When filmmakers in the Soviet Union were unable to get the resources they needed, it wasn't always just that the communists wanted to carefully control something they saw as propaganda. Sometimes those resources just weren't manufactured. Or allocated sanely.

The examples of "total warfare mobilization proves that it is possible" are bizarre, given how awful conditions were for soldiers and civilians alike at those times. Planned economies only seem capable of making just barely enough of the most essential necessities for the groups considered the most important to those in charge.

It is difficult to believe that such a system will even perform well enough to make sure one person or another doesn't go without such simple necessities as water, energy, food, and cloth. Let alone the sort of minor luxuries we're all accustomed to.

I don't like my odds that I'll get any of the things I want under such a government. No thanks.

I was very fortunate to have a computer in the house, available 24/7, from around the age of 10. ZX81 kit, then later a C128, then Amiga, then other variations (and a PC clone in there as well).

We were some variation of 'middle class' in a growing community, and I wasn't the only kid at school with a computer, but I'd say it was certainly less than 10% of us. You quickly made friends with the folks who had Mr Nibble and similar copying programs (I forget the big one in the Apple II world).

But it was a totally different time. Anyone born in the last 25 years has never known a time without essentially instant access to the world's information, essentially for free. I struggled with a 300 baud modem, taking hours to download anything of substance, hoping no one would pick up the phone because you forgot to turn off 'call waiting' during a big download. I remember the jump to 1200 baud, then later a 14k modem blowing my mind.

Back then, it wasn't just about 'programming' as much as ... you learned to 'think' like a computer a bit more than I think you do now. The UIs we have now are both way way way better than 40 years ago, but also still awfully confusing at times.
Cube has saved me hundred of hours. I use it as backend for reporting and dashboard inside our SaaS. In our frontend I've build a light-version of PowerBI and I use Cube for a backend.

one thing is for sure, though: falsely portraying trust in expertise and science as,

"blindly trusting institutions and their dogma"

or

"for people with a superiority complex, or those content with the status quo",

has been a trope of those same anti-science, anti-expertise politicians for even longer. As Asimov wrote:

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'"

I imagine there will be a lot of people who agree that AI is dangerous, but continue to use it, because provides something of value to them in the short term. In his case, he might really believe AI is a potential danger, but also wanted to get the notoriety of publishing, and the money and excitement of founding a successful startup. There's not a big difference between our kind of hypocrisy — supporting something we suspect is destructive in the long term because it is neat, convenient, or popular in the short term — and his kind. Both are part of the reason things get worse rather than better. His kind is more lucrative, so it's actually less surprising in a way.

Again work for hire copyright assumes the person working can create a copyrightable image. A neural network can't.

Prompt engineering is changing your prompt that commissions the work but does not change the underlying lack of copyright due to non human artist. You're saying because you phrased your commission just right, the non humam artist now can copyright things and by all indications this is not true

Your contribution is just an extra careful way to phrase the request for commission and does not rise to the level of authorship or copyrightability.

You can do, as you say, whatever you want with the image but not because you own it, but because the image is public domain and anyone can do what they want with the image.

But with a work commissioned with a human artist by default you do not own the copyright and you cannot do what you want - you could sell your copy but you do not have the ability to license it to others, barring a specific agreement with the artist for that right.

I thought it was just easier to do this for Israel. An Israeli company snail-mailed the phone to me before I left, and I mailed it back to them when I returned. You don't have to worry that the phone will work in that country.

It looks like the waiting list is about 12 weeks [1] though I saw references to 18 weeks as well.

For a non-acute mental health issue that doesn't seem unreasonable. But do you know how it works after that waiting period? Are you limited to a certain number of sessions after which you have to reapply & wait again, or can you continue on?

Having to wait in the US is also not uncommon, thought it's easier if you live in more populated areas. Psychiatrists are always much harder though, even in populated areas, and many GP's are reluctant to prescribe anything more than an SSRI. If a mood stabilizer or anything else is necessary then you could be waiting 6 months for a first visit with a psychiatrist. Unless you have the money: There is high enough demand and low enough supply that many (and often the better ones) don't accept insurance at all, an intake visit runs up to $1000, a full visit $500, and a 20-minute "medication maintenance" visit is still $250. Also if someone is suicidal they can jump the 6-month line by going to the nearest ER.

Are psychiatrists difficult to get in the UK as well?

Yes, which is the point: if you substitute a human therapist for an LLM, this is what's going to happen because "guard rails" can't account for every scenario. If half a billion dollars doesn't buy a bug-free game, why would it buy a safe LLM?

Does suicide encouraged by a therapist happen with human therapists too? Probably, but likely much less common as a suicide is going to hurt your reputation.

My perception is that they don't want to "blend in" to the point that there's no distinction, but they want acceptance under the umbrella of Christianity.
