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?

I think the best outcome is for your defense attorney to sow doubt over the recorded audio.

There are a number of things a recording will not pick up. Somebody could make air quotes with their hand while giving the spoken word a neutral tone. You could easily get to a he said she said situation there. Did they mean it? Or did they know about the wire? Do we have witnesses who saw the air quotes? Reasonable doubt spreads from here. I saw an interesting video where a mobster was showing his technique of pouring wine in different ways to communicate to his in-group to watch their mouths if an outsider is there. A wire would miss stuff like that. It's the sign language of House Artreides, for the people who don't hate sand.

There is also something to say about translations. You'll inevitably arrive in situations where different interpretors will translate certain quotes differently depending on context. There is wiggle room. So the hypothetical Japanese wire recording could provide some fertile soil for reasonable doubt in an English speaking court as well. Less so because of the additional politeness levels but because the language drops subjects all the time. English grammar slavishly demandsa subject for most phrases and the Japanese omit them willy nilly. Who did what and to whom becomes harder to judge when you don't have all the pieces of the puzzle. Slang can be decoded; inside jokes may prove harder. "Shaka when the walls fell." If you're a Trekkie, you know. But if you have an inside joke like that within a small group of foreign language speakers language could obfuscate some things. But it may not be enough to render the whole recording useless.

We have come to a point where lenses are so small. With the possibility of deepfakes, I think law enforcement may no longer just send people in with a mic only. Sure, a video can be deepfaked as well but it will be harder to fake and maybe easier to prove that it was.

Are you using a DAW? My first thought was to go by ear with the notes as you hear them, slap tasered duck wah wah on top and then compare the EQ to the guitar stem. If you're hitting the same peaks and troughs you know you can't be too far off target. I realize this sounds simpler than it is.

I fear that this could be an expensive alpha india plugin in the near future.

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

You're going to have to vaguely doxx yourself here. There are plenty of places on this planet where you can't legally get a "burner" without providing ID.

We are the Blarg. Resistance is futile.

A new account, all written in bold, with a potential rage bait about religion and jacking it? I smell bravo sierra.

"Western" languages? There is no such thing. There are Turkic ones, Indo-European ones, Uralic ones, Afro-Asiatic ones. They and more are all west of wherever Chinese characters are used.

You are picking a small number of Chinese characters that bear a distant resemblance to the meaning they carry to this day in languages that use them. Most of them have been abstracted to hell. Or simplified beyond recognition, I guess not just in the Chinese mainland. And that 火 means 🔥 was not obvious to me when I learned it. You need somebody to tell you to imagine a person with their arms on fire to see it. So the abstraction has progressed too far. Where you see a mountain I see a fork also. Therefore, I challenge your premise to the extent that this is obvious without being instructed.

I can also teach you pyr(o) means fire and maniac is an obsessive crazy person. You can get to the meaning of pyromaniac from there too. That as a learning process is not too different from 火山 equals volcano.

A lot of these images you presented strike me as linguistic retconning to aid children (and foreigners) learning the characters.

The point of the Latin alphabet is not to tie meaning to the letters but to the sounds they represent in the language that uses it. So even if, hypothetically, you could trace back the letter O to a symbol representing a window in Egyptian hieroglyphics this has no bearing on how the letter is used today.

It's also noteworthy to me that any language using Chinese characters have invented a syllabary (like Hiragana and Katakana in Japan) or use the alphabet to an extent to teach the language (pinyin in the PRC, complete latinization in Vietnam). Korean adopted a syllabary that has a similar look and design but actually makes sense. There is a strong appeal to the utility of being able to read what's on the page without having to think about anywhere from 1000 to 100000 abstracted characters.

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

You are struggling with a parasocial relationship. You idolize this one creator and for that creator you're one tiny follower among whatever gazillion inflated bot count your social media of choice shows they have. You're lucky to get a reply and, just as one example, most creators on Instagram will engage with a few early comments because it tweaks the algorithm in their favor if they show engagement/counter engagement. They probably don't gaf so lmao lol etc.

You're nothing to them other than a view count. Accept that role and vent with a person preferably irl.

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

Radio playlists are a science like marketing. Half the budget is wasted, you're just never sure which half.

Stations have a target audience. They will have focused grouped this. They know their favorite music, how long on average they listen, and how much they will expect to hear certain artists. The DJs are mere announcers, they have little to no choice in what they play, and they are grateful to have a job. So like anybody working in retail during Christmas, they can tune out the music in their heads.

Libre Office.

You moved to Lemmy to ask this question on an account called Ahmed? You sound like a customer service bot?

This is not the reaction of a human being struggling with porn addiction. Let's just say you have not succeeded in allahing my skepticism.

Thanks, mate.

OG's account is 5 days old and they have amassed quite a weird post history. I would call most of it shit stirring, always nicely illustrated with a picture.

You are welcome to read my longer post history, which is quite anti-MAGA.

Whether we all think that excuse for a man has dementia is irrelevant. Nobody here is likely qualified to make the call. And the ones who might speak up here to do it anyway disqualify themselves by speaking up. So all this is is pointless shit stirring.

I'm going to go out in this limb: nobody here is qualified to make that assessment and has direct access to the man, which you need to make the call. So fuck off with this shit stirring bullshit.

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?

BUT IF YOU READ IT YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT PEOPLE ARE DIVIDED OVER THIS ISSUE. SO THERE IS NO CONCLUSIVE ANSWER.
