You mean corporate shilling. Corporate shilling isn't a good thing.

My point was within the context of the argument saying that it's okay for copyrighted art to be fed to an ai without the artists permission because ai learns like people do and is essentially doing what people do to each other.

But AI don't participate in culture and they're not embodied entities. So they don't have the relational capacity to get art, as I understand it. And therefore they don't learn art in the same way people do, because they're not touched by art the way people are.

It's fine for ai to be used to make art. But to feed ai copyrighted art so the style can be mimicked, automated, and profited from.. that feels a lot more like theft to me then if I went to the art museum and tried to ape a Picasso.

No bodies, no social circles. No joy. No suffering.

This is where art comes from. AI can make 'something new' out of inputs. The same way a toaster can make toast when you feed it bread. But neither the toaster nor the AI create art.

Because neither one can connect with or communicate what it's like to be a human being. And neither is being shaped socially by other human beings.

Decoding this, "autonomous" means a robot that can carry out complex military missions without human intervention.

So, AI?

If you sample someone else's music and turn around and try to sell it, without first asking permission from the original artist, that's copyright infringement.

So, if the same rules apply, as your post suggests, OpenAI is also infringing on copyright.

I guess I'll be muting my mic unless I'm talking from now on.

Worked in tech support for a satellite based Internet company that oversold its bandwidth on one of the satellites.

We told customers on that beam we were working on it. The actual solution was attrition. Eventually enough customers would quit that service would be better for those that remained.

i said probably and my point was made in the context of the meme. it wasn't advice on safe foraging but an observation on how early humans may have made intelligent guesses before we had reliable guide books and the internet.

i grow mushrooms outside and do some foraging.

if a mushroom is covered in bugs it's probably edible. centipedes, fungus gnats, and slugs are all common on my outdoor beds.

there are a few edible fungi i don't see bugs eat, like meatier varieties such as shiitake and saddle backs, but i have never seen bugs go after poisonous fungi

some bugs will eat psychedelic fungi just like some animals will. but there tends to be less predation with them.
