Worse still it's not even clear what is being discussed. It implied "violence" but that is a wide range from just pushing to serious shooting.

% can also be misleading when a scale is arbitrary. A temperature increase measured in Fahrenheit will be a rather different % when converted to Kelvin.

I thought this commented would have gone down better. It's a banger.

In UK you can't buy high caffeine drinks unless you're over 16, so you neef ID if you don't look over 20 or such.

Headline should have been: porn sites have no spunk. Screw the government and just plug the whole country. Though we'll no longer have easy access various VPNs will still allow us to reach around the block with IP protection (just like consuming BBC service without a license).

"hallucination refers to the generation of plausible-sounding but factually incorrect or nonsensical information"

Is an output an hallucination when the training data involved in that output included factually incorrect data? Suppose my input is "is the would flat" and then an LLM, allegedly, accurately generates a flat-eather's writings saying it is.

Artificial neural networks are simple versions of the neurons arranged in a brain. It's a useful solution when you know what the output should be but you don't know what algorithm would produce it from a desired input. To claim "AI" is learning the same way as complex human brains seems a bit farfetched. If you want to say human brains are ultimately just an algorithm then fine, but look at the outputs between the two.

AI art may not look like duplication but it often looks like derived-work which could trigger copyright infringement (to my non-artist eyes). AI code on the other hand looks much closer to duplication to me and it doesn't seem right they can use other's code to produce code while ignoring the license because the algorithm had "learned like a human". Many software licenses are there to protect users, rather than monopolize, and get totally ignored for profit.

"Innovative" these days seems to means new ways to fuck-over users, rather than the past where it meant products got better and/or cheaper.

KOS is "kill on sight", a video game term.

I have hope for running games on Linux that are currently blocked by anti-cheat.. but zero hope for client-side anti-cheat to stop cheating. It's not as if Windows has stopped cheating. A win eventually becomes a loss as the cheat-makers adapt.

If you're using the minimum amount, in a transformative way that doesn't compete with the original copyrighted source, then it's still fair use even if it's commercial. (This is not saying that's what LLM are doing)

That's right. I even corrected that typo before I posted, or so I had thought.

Just noticed KOSA starts with KOS. Was that ~~international~~ intentional, like DOGE?
