Ron was happy to cash a fat Netflix check for his bullshit memoir, now shocked he ignored all the signs Vance was an asshole.

The don’t have a plan to fix ANY crisis. Or problem.

Republicans have only a few plans:

  • Tax cuts for the rich
  • Appoint conservative judges that will ignore the law in favor their political beliefs
  • Ban abortion
  • Repeal LQBTQ+ rights
  • Send more people to prison
  • Fire every liberal in government

But that is just it. When a commercial enterprise is literally saving copyrighted content and car reproduce it on demand, copyright holders have every right to object. Either use public domain materials and/or license copyrighted materials, or don’t try to make money off AI.

I didn’t say that at all. I was responding to OP claiming they don’t memorize content at all.

[–] derf82@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Not many. And generally not book passages or whole NY Post articles. That’s the point. OP claims it tosses the original, but it doesn’t.

This process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages. The AI discards the original text, keeping only abstract representations in "vector space".

Citation needed. I’m pretty sure LLMs have exactly reproduced copyrighted passages. And considering it can created detailed summaries of copyrighted texts, it obviously has to save more than “abstract representations.”

In Nov 2020, the person that ran things for years died, and control passed to other family members that immediately sued each other.

I’m any case, seems greed likely started to drive everything, they pushed expansion over safety, and wound up killing people.

Your reply “I’m happy to overpay for a kitchen” and “we don’t have that problem in Australia” wasn’t pouty?

[–] derf82@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Yeah, I wish we had such a law in my US state. But we don’t. But if they want to play those games, I’m not playing along or trying the Australian site. But around here, we do have hotel options with kitchens.

The complaint is showing why the things in the article are happening. People are choosing hotels because they are priced out of short term rentals.

And it depends on where you are. A standard working city, sure. A common vacation destination, it is absolutely an issue.

A chore list is only part of the issue. The costs are rapidly inflating. Hotels are now far cheaper, even on a per room basis. With fees (including pricey cleaning fees and AirBNB/VRBO service fees that are on top of the percentage they take from hosts) rates will double or triple what they quote initially.

Then there are what they have done to neighborhoods. Property speculators have bought up housing and inflated prices for residents, all while damaging local hotels.

It was fine when it was people renting out a room or vacation homes at a reasonable price. I used to rent a tiny 3 season camp cabin in Maine on a lake for $750 a week. It was a guest cabin by an owner occupied 4 seasons home. It’s (and the main house) have since been bought by a wealthy private jet salesman that rents both spots, the cabin now going for over $1,600 a week with fees. They made zero changes down to the furniture, dishes, and towels. This year we are staying a a hotel rental that goes for under $1,000 for the week with no chores and regular maid service.

She was targeted because it was spread falsely she had XY chromosomes and had high testosterone, not that she was North African. Rowling has had plenty of hate for white trans people.

Another thing MBAs have destroyed as they try to slightly increase profits.
