The Yahoo!tech writers went on a deep dive and watched a YouTube video.

Bah humbug that’s obvs called schadenbetrug.

Yahoo!tech digging deep for a story there.

I am in Japan where they have just discovered a cartel of ice cream manufacturers pushing up prices. Supply and demand. This is capitalism, baby!

This is a lawsuit, right? It’ll go through a few judges’ hands on appeals and what not and by the time the companies get their slap on the wrist in 2-5 years they will have made so much money it doesn’t matter.

Language is imprecise. That’s where the ambiguity needs tolerance. A child can be a grown person and a person growing up, depending on context. There is no orphanage for people in their 40s. The original argument seems to hinge on the word child being basically equal in meaning to human being in all contexts. Which isn’t the case all the time. And it isn’t in the context of orphans.

You need to work on your ambiguity tolerance.

They date whoever they want. Probably not you though. Thanks for rage baiting with us today.

and then fix the new mistakes it made while trying to fix the old ones and

Are you using an app or a browser? It looks like a browser to me and maybe there is an extension messing with it? Maybe somebody is pranking you? Just a thought.

Time?

I don’t think it’s enough just to point out that we’re doing society wrong. Unless you’re Earnest Hemingway, you need to do it in an appealing literary way, language and structure and characters and that sort of thing.

Alibaba picking up Anthropic’s fair use strategy?

Edit: is there an argument for letting the US ruin its economy and environment to train all these models and then just swooping in before it turns into a mild madmaxian hellscape to distill and/or extract the knowledge? Beats having to do this on your own, doesn’t it?

We must keep these strategies to ourselves! The bots will adapt.

Not like any other election before where tech companies had zero interests and just thought may the best team win.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer boss or company.

You’re reading more criticism into that than I really feel. I just answered a question. And my original point was merely that while the article makes it almost sound like this ruling was final, it isn’t. The war will be entering its second battle soon.

If we only look at content available on DVD until about the mid 00s still torrenting about the ether today, I’m sure the majority are ripped from rentals. I had friends who basically bled a rental place dry.

So this was the regional court (Landgericht). The next one is the superior regional court (Oberlandesgericht) where Google will appeal now. Since I don’t see any issues of the Bavarian constitution relevant to this case, the next one up is probably the federal court of justice (Bundesgerichtshof). And there is a small chance that either Google or the courts along the way decide to throw this to the EU court of justice.

Most decisions like this get suspended upon appeal, completely or partially, until people give up or there are no more courts to pester. But every appeal will be taken seriously and goes into review at the court whether there is merit to it. That takes time. And Google has the money for a frivolous tour through the courts. And then there is the danger of court ping-pong where the superior court sends this back with notes to the regional. Whose ruling may be appealed again, etc.

Google can challenge the court’s ruling. As of writing, Google hasn’t decided whether it will appeal the verdict.

This article is out of date because Google has decided to appeal in the meantime.

This verdict is not legally effective yet. And it may never be. On the high seas and in a German courtroom, the people say, you’re in God’s hand. The next higher court can send this back to the lower court or could overrule it all together. And if they don’t do any of that, Google can go to the next higher court. Every appeal will add anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to the timeline. By the time this gets a final ruling Skynet may have killed us all.

A Canadian singer/songwriter could surely do something with an article talking shit about so-called AI having a so-called AI bullet point summary at the top. Don’t you think?
