OpenAI losing their case is how we ensure that the only people who can legally be in charge of an LLM are massive corporations with enough money to license sufficient source material for training, so I’m forced to begrudgingly take their side here

“The three biggest social media sites on the internet are nothing but screenshots of the other two” is how I heard the last 10 years described
Depending on how important these large language models end up being to society, I’d rather everyone be able to freely use copyrighted works to train them, rather than reserve their use solely for the corporations rich enough to pay for the licensing or lucky enough to already have the rights to a trove of source material
OpenAI losing this battle is how we ensure that the only people that can legally train these things are the Microsofts, Googles, and the Adobes of the world so, bizarrely, as much as I think OpenAI has turned into greedy corpo scum, I feel compelled to side with them here
Every single one of your upvotes on lemmy is already public due to how the protocol works, it’s just currently obscured by a bit of work to get them (have to run your own instance, assuming there already isn’t some online tool to easily look them up)
Making them publicly and easily visible would only remove the illusion of privacy we currently have, not actually make your upvote logs less secured in any way
We already had first Microsoft anti-trust suit, but what about second Microsoft anti-trust suit?
Every browser is either chromium (open source captured by Google) or exists because of a Google search contract (this represents 80% of Mozilla’s revenue), Google can’t lose
Chrome really needs to be broken off from Google, the largest ad company owning the largest browser is clearly a huge conflict of interest
Seeing that half of my extensions (it was seriously like 10 of them) were going to be disabled is what pushed me to finally switch to Firefox because if I have to find alternatives to them it might as well be on another browser
Yeah but I don’t think the average smash and grab thief is going to be smart enough to recognize the potential value of the data on the laptop, they’re just going to pawn the thing off as quickly as possible
Anyone smart enough to want the data probably doesn’t need to smash a window, they’ll just access the data remotely when the computer is on and the drive is unencrypted
So even then, it only protects you from the very narrow overlap of thieves who are dumb enough to need to break into cars for a living, but smart enough to harvest data off of stolen laptops
I still stand by full disk encryption accomplishing almost nothing for the average user but separating them from their own files
If you don’t have data on your PC that someone might be willing to kill you for, you probably don’t need it, and Microsoft enabling it by default for Win11 installs is crazy
Netplay isn’t exactly ideal, as from what I understand it generally requires the syncing of all players emulated console hardware simultaneously (basically, every emulator tricks the game into thinking they’re all being played on one single console), which is a lot harder to reliably achieve than having native netcode to handle multiplayer
In the EU at least, companies can say whatever they want in their ToS, it doesn’t change the fact that you legally own your digital games
Chopping the heads off the hydra will kill it this time, for sure

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked up some feature or low-priority bug only to find the answer is “there’s a PR for this that will be added in 10.9”, commented like a year ago, glad to see the future plan is more frequent but smaller feature releases!
Hot take: A well armed populace is important for keeping the power of the state in check, and a well armed state is important so that it can’t be easily overthrown without a majority taking up arms against it
Basically, domestic mutually assured destruction will keep everyone playing by our agreed upon rules
Don’t underestimate how dumb and greedy corpos can be
If I ever have a device connecting to open networks by itself I’m snipping its wifi antenna
No, we’re going from “a different cable for every device” to “a different cable for every device but you need a label maker because they all look the same”, and you’re going to like it
The way I see it, creatives lose no matter what here, so they can either lose and only the corpos benefit, or they can lose and everyone benefits
