Surely it’s not as simple as ear plugs.

Blame the youtube algorithm and Mr Beast, not all the other youtubers caught up in the tidal wave.

Yes, they do feature.

Lots of choice in Europe

A co-operative ?

Elon doesn’t make any more money no matter if they sell it or not.

Elon has the large part of his fortune tied to the future of Telsa, which is 90% selling cars. If no-one buys those cars, and if the second hand market is seen to be almost worthless, then the fortune and Elon’s power disappears.

Usually quick things in the car when I don’t have hands.

• Ask about weather
• Set a reminder
• Reply to a text

Integrations with the phone’s functionality is key. I don’t care how clever the brain is, it needs to talk to the rest of the body.

• encapsulation and meaningful function names.

Oh yes. Deepseek can quote from copyright sources. So can openAI models, but they are programmed not to.

Facebook trained on the torrent of Annas archive.

The copyright horse has left the stable.

No, taxes implies a monopoly on the training data. The government profits. The rights holders get nothing back.

If private data is deemed public for AI training then the results of that training (code+weights+source list) should also be deemed public.

Using existing data on recordings and books we obtain a point estimate of around 15 years for optimal copyright term

I’ve not found the small models to be good enough to be useful.

I have never and will never interact with my phone by speaking to it and I don’t want to be around other people who are doing that.

Out of context this statement is hilarious.

It used to be that speaking to a phone was the only way to interact with it.

Typing and tapping would soon be passé,

The tech certainly isn’t ready for this. My voice input to chatgpt gets automatically translated into Welsh.

I asked chatGPT about a quote from Iain Banks - The Player of Games. It claims not to know about it’s contents except for the cover blurb. Bullshit.

I fed it a detail and it suddenly remembered.

They must have programmed chatgpt to deny that it has read copyright works.

Deepseek had no such qualms. It couldn’t give an exact quote but it did give what it called an approximation.

There is some crossover, but no way can you say Bernie is just like other Democrats.

AOC hasn’t been a primary candidate so I’m not so hot on her particular positions.

Only European states can apply for EU membership.

The definition of a “European state” could be interpreted to include Canada. For example:

European State

A sovereign nation whose core cultural, political, legal, and social institutions are fundamentally shaped by European historical experiences and intellectual traditions.

You are being too literal.

A better analogy is to say that it’s as lame as Freedom Fries, but it being aimed at the country that re-labeled the French Fry, so that makes it ironic and much funnier.
