Nope. No idea how that works. I assume someone rich says they’ll donate a million bucks to match smaller donors, but I really don’t have a clue what it’s supposed to mean.

I donated $25, and then another $15 with a 4x match (got that email after) just to send my approval of the debate performance. That’s on top of $25 at 3x earlier.

All of that after being out of work for 5 months. It’s not much, but it’s what I could do. That’s not meant to brag. We can’t have Trump.

They are scared of younger swift fans who weren’t planning on voting at all.

Irony, thy name is Vance.

Good for Harris, but flag NSFW.

He has concepts of plans.

You made a lot of points here. Many I agree with, some I don’t, but I specifically want to address this because it seems to be such a common misconception.

It does and it doesn’t discard the original. It isn’t impossible to recreate the original (since all the data it gobbled up gets stored somewhere in some shape or form and can be truthfully recreated, at least judging by a few comments bellow and news reports). So AI can and does recreate (duplicate or distribute, perhaps) copyrighted works.

AI stores original works like a dictionary does. All the words are there, but the order and meaning is completely gone. An original work is possible to recreate by randomly selecting words from the dictionary, but it’s unlikely.

The thing that makes AI useful is that it understands the patterns words are typically used in. It orders words in the right way far more often than random chance. It knows “It was the best of” has a lot of likely options for the next word, but if it selects “times” as the next word, it’s far more likely to continue with, “it was the worst of times.” Because that sequence of words is so ubiquitous due to references to the classic story. But over the course of following these word patterns, it will quickly glom onto a different pattern and create a wholly new work from the original “prompt.”

There are only two cases in which an original work should be duplicated: either the training data is far too small and the model is overtrained on that particular work, or the work is the most derivative text imaginable lacking any flair or originality.

Adding more training data makes it less likely to recreate any original works.

I am aware of examples where it was claimed an LLM reproduced entirely code functions including original comments. That is either a case of overtraining, or far too many people were already copying that code verbatim into their own, thus making that work very over represented in the training data (same thing, but it was infringing developers who poisoned the data, not researchers using bad training data).

Bottom line: when created with enough data, no original works are stored in any way that allows faithful reproduction other than by chance so random that it’s similar to rolling dice over a dictionary.

None of this means AI can do no wrong, I just don’t find the copyright claim compelling.

I see no MAGA stuff there. I’m in the other echo chamber, must be (and happily so).

Not that I’m the dev or anything, but I can’t even find any gestures that work with the sidebar open other than to swipe back to the post list. I don’t know if what device you’re on has anything to it with it, but I thought PWAs worked the same regardless of device.

I had an A500 and the 40MB drive was as expensive as the computer.

I don’t think it’s a failure to communicate. I think it’s a case of you injecting your agenda where it doesn’t apply because you want a soapbox to stand on. That is off-putting and alienating. Chime in with your spiel when it’s appropriate to the context. Police protecting me has nothing to do with presidential succession and it’s weird to bring it up in that context.

In another context I might well agree with you, but right now it feels like an attempt to redirect to make this about your agenda. You don’t need me for that.

You’ve got some kind of agenda here and I don’t even know if I agree with it or not, but it has nothing to do with what I said here.

That’s a poor paraphrasing of what I said. I’m not going to the capital with a gun. All I need is a safe transfer of power to the duly elected president.

The alarms have kinda been sounding since Trump declared his candidacy. I can only hope the FBI et al. are doing their jobs and preparing to counter insurrection, and that the National Guard are on alert.

I can definitely account for 1.

I worked for Burger King in the 80’s and you’d never be able to prove that, either. I worked much longer for Sears in the 80’s and I wouldn’t be able to prove that, either. This is completely pointless.

I don’t even know I’d be able to prove I served in the Army Reserve for six years if it weren’t for my DD214.

Now who can argue with that? I think we’re all indebted to Gabby Trump for clearly stating what needed to be said. I’m particulary glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age.

Momentum sustained over here. Would love MFA but there no point in talking about it without the right Congress.

They can just play clips of him admitting out loud he will be a vengeful autocrat.
