And standard cheese is just milk way way past its conservation date.

I don’t find blue cheese so strong. Some are, and they can become too strong if they are a bit old, but they can also be very delicate. There are also way stronger and more in your face cheese than blue cheese.

Today definitely, because their use was twisted by those big corporation. Forcing artists to give them the rights to the IP.

Definitely a big problem for copyrights, patents are still 20 years, but they are also problematic. Biggest issue is patent trolls, companies who patent anything, sometimes even things that don’t really exist, just to attack companies who innovate.

Not sure if this is sarcasm, but yes, I do think artists should be rewarded, but not for more than 100 years after their death, that makes no sense.

This! Patent, trademarks, copyrights, all those intellectual properties laws were created more than a century ago, a time very different from us, with no corporations capable of pushing hundreds if not thousands of patents per year.

Those laws are so outdated that they are played to the inverse of what they were supposed to do. They were created to protect the inventor to make sure he can win money on his invention, today they are used to protect big corporation to make sure they can buy or kill whoever who would risk attacking their revenue.

They were invented as a way to push creativity and protect it but they are used today to limit and block creativity. There’s a good reason why creativity in technology in the last 10 years has come more from open source movements (additive manufacturing, blockchain, machine learning, etc.). It’s the only way to still protect creativity, making it open, therefore non patentable.

I find it very useful as a “secretary” and to help me structure my thoughts. When I work on a document (usually technical) I first ask him to propose a document structure, explaining him what kind of document and on which subject. I then tell him how to improve his proposition.

Then I take each chapter and tell him to ask me questions to help me structure my reasoning. Then, I answer his questions and he writes the paragraph from my answers.

I find that it helps greatly, it allows me to write documents much faster and I also have the feeling it improves the quality. It allows me to sometimes think about things that I wouldn’t have on my own.

The same people will use Gmail without batting an eye and we all know what Google has been doing for years with emails in Gmail.

It’s quite funny that now that there are “AI” that everyone can use, people get all worried about their data being used to train them but nobody cared before when it was Google or amazon using them to train their models.

You raise a very good point, people cannot be mad that companies use data that they made public to train their ai. It’s public, people can do whatever they want with it. We really need to teach people to be more careful with what they post online.

But I’m wondering, is there a default license for data posted on lemmy?

A country with republic and/or democratic in its official name is usually neither.
