It wouldn't be. It would still work. It just wouldn't be exclusively available to the group that created it-any competitive advantage is lost.

But all of this ignores the real issue - you're not really punishing the use of unauthorized data. Those who owned that data are still harmed by this.

Making it open source doesn't change how it works. It doesn't need the data after it's been trained. Most of these AIs are just figuring out patterns to look for in the new data it comes across.

Everyone? No.

Anyone? Maybe.

No. Not being destitute doesn't automatically make you rich. Things are not black and white. There's a wide spectrum that is very flat until you get to the top 0.1%.

Bring in the top 10% doesn't mean much when the different between top 99 and top 90 is multiple orders of magnitude larger than top 90 to top 10.

Are old retirees rich, then? I wouldn't consider that accurate.

If you're not pulling in upper 6 figures from those investments, you're still not rich.

Mastodon is confusing as shit though. They could have made is not as confusing, but this is what happens when you get backend only developers designing the front end of a product.

Ugh, Google+ was so much better than Facebook. The whole circles concept was a game changer for social media that no one else has really adopted in a meaningful way. Half the reason millennials began to leave Facebook was not wanting their parents seeing what they're posting, so being able to decide which group can see a particular post was an awesome idea.

Sadly it just never got the adoption

The point is, there's a lot of movies worth watching once, and never again...which is where streaming comes in.

That doesn't fix it. No.

Sites like these are why amazon has been using more coupons at check out instead of straight discounts. Messes with the price tracking

What?

That is not a proper response to what I said.
