Creating material that is copyright infridgement is not a desired output

Agreed.

the purpose of guns is to kill (when used).

Guns is a term with varied definitions of which not all are intended to kill. There are rubber bullets, air soft, small caliber, and even paint ball guns. These MAY be lethal but were made with other goals in mind.

Nvidia on the other hand made GPUs for applications that revolve around video, the G literally stands for graphics. Some people found out that they are also efficient at other tasks so Nvidia made a new line of products for that workload because it was more lucrative. Gamers usually only buy 1 graphics card per machine, a few years ago some would even buy up to 3. In contrast, AI researchers/architects/programmers buy as many as they can afford and constantly buy more. This has made Nvidia change their product stack to cater to the more lucrative customer.

AI manufacturers depend on copyrighted material to "train" the AI

With everything I said, these AI creators CHOOSE what to feed into these new tools. They can choose to input things in the public domain or even paid-licensed-content but instead using copyrighted and pirated content is the norm. That is because this is a new field and we are collectively learning where the boundaries are and what is considered acceptable and legal.

Reddit recently signed a deal to license it's data (user generated content like posts and comments) for use with AI generation. Other companies are using internal data to tailor their AIs to solve field-specific problems. The problem is that AI, just like guns, is a broad term.

the method of creation makes it more likely to infridge.

Nvidia has given us the tools but until we define what is considered acceptable, these kinds of things will be inevitable. I do believe that the authors had their copyrights infringed but they are also going after the wrong people. There have been reports of AI spitting out full books on command, clearly proving that those works were used to train. The authors should be going after the creators of those specific AIs, not Nvidia.

There is a long and bumpy road ahead.

This feels like suing gun manufacturers over murder. They made the tool but they're not the ones responsible for the crime.

Reolink cameras look like they check all of your boxes. They can be self contained systems with a "recorder box" (actual term is NVR) that you keep on your property out of harms way or it can be a DIY PC with a program called Blue Iris. There is a variety of cameras to choose from with different features like Wifi, POE, PTZ, solar powered, etc. Spend as little or as much as you want. As you mentioned in your post, this will be pricey up front but will be cheaper in the long run.

It's not always the default though

Most of what these devices do is fairly light compute-wise. There's no real need to have the most powerful hardware when all it will really do is add to cost. Are there use cases for more powerful hardware, of course but for most people what we have is good enough. That said, I would love an updated Shield or competitor.

Agreed, I read it as League of Legends

Fines should be paid directly to the workers that had to work under these conditions. They should also be paid in multiples of yearly salary, it's a trillion dollar company. The company pays more as a consequence and those that suffered get compensation. Maybe also a percentage should go to the agency (not Amazon related) overseeing this kind of thing like the NLRB.

Pre GME they would've buried them, for fun ofc

Post GME prob have bots shilling it to lurkers wondering the same thing

After the price falls, I see them having a future as a data company. They already have 1 customer paying them $60m annually. Regardless of it's future, they have over a decades worth of data in many areas. Spez already got his though.

Streisand effect go!

1 year ago we had Will Smith eating spaghetti and a never ending Friends episode. Today we have a company sending $25 million to fraudsters.

You're on the right track but I think your timeline is off. I'm guessing in a year or 2 AI can make a full Pixar movie.

AI is really good right now and it's getting better faster than anyone anticipated. This went from hypothetical to reality seemingly overnight. Nobody is ready. The fallout will be huge.

Yes but both are Mike Myers doing the same accent and OP, the one I responded to, is describing living in a swamp.

The amount of times that this is the answer is honestly worrying.
