Are you saying the writers of these programs have read all these books, and were inspired by them so much they wrote millions of books? And all this software is doing is outputting the result of someone being inspired by other books?

For a lot of normal people linux just doesnt offer any advantages they care about. If you tell them it can do everything windows can do, the question "so why should i go through the effort of switching" remains. There'd have to be something they really want, that they can't get from windows.
Though average users use mobile devices instead of desktops more and more, so I can see windows becoming mostly a thing that people use at work.
Unless you think theres no difference between killing a person and closing a program, I think we can agree they should be treated differently in the eyes of the law.
And so theres a difference between a person reading a book and being inspired by it, and someone writing a program that automatically transforms the book in data that can create new books.
It makes perfect sense to me. You're allowed to do with your own server what you want. That's one of the advantages of foss.
There have always been private communities. Just because these ones are running on standardized protocols that allow communication between servers, doesn't mean you're suddenly required to be public and let everything in.
map of land usage in the netherlands
See those red dots? Thats where people live. See the vast vast light green background? Thats agrictulture.
The biggest contributor is the massive amounts of land being used for producing meat, which is then exported to other countries
Say I see a book that sells well. It's in a language I don't understand, but I use a thesaurus to replace lots of words with synonyms. I switch some sentences around, and maybe even mix pages from similar books into it. I then go and sell this book (still not knowing what the book actually says).
I would call that copyright infringement. The original book didn't inspire me, it didn't teach me anything, and I didn't add any of my own knowledge into it. I didn't produce any original work, I simply mixed a bunch of things I don't understand.
That's what these language models do.
Nothing gets merged, theyre completely separate, in the same way example@gmail.com and example@outlook.com are different email addresses.
some.lemmy/c/music is the music community on some.lemmy, if you want to see the music community on another.lemmy while you are at some.lemmy, you go to some.lemmy/c/music@another.lemmy
Just because this software can be used that way, doesn't mean you're required to use it that way.
If I want to start a lemmy server and not let lemmy.world in, there's nothing wrong with that.
Lemmy.world isn't owed anything, they're not owed to view content in my community, they're not owed that I show their content to my users. And if my users are unhappy with that, that's fine, it's their choice to stay in my enclosed community or not.
Just because we're running the same software and the same communication protocols doesn't change that.
It's generally not the creator who gets the money.
Not a lawyer, but you can argue that if the language model is trained using gpl licensed data, then the language model has to be published under gpl as well.
What they mean is, they're worried about bad press
A human can, within limits.
But software isn't human. AI models aren't "learning", "practicing" and "developing their own skills".
Human-made software is copying other peoples work, transforming it, letting a bunch of calculations loose on it, and mass producing similar works as the input.
Using an artists work to train an ai model and making similar stuff with it to make money off of it, is like copying someones work, putting on a mug, and selling that.
It's not using it as inspiration to improve your own skills.
How would a decentralized search engine work? What aspect is decentralized? I'm curious how that'd work
It's not a fair trade if there is no consent.
If you release code under gpl, and I modify it, I'm required to release those modifications publicly under gpl as well.
I'm not sure. And I'm not sure there's legal precedant for that either.
That's why I dont have a problem with any of these lawsuits, it gives us clarity on the legal aspects, whichever way it goes.
Maybe the lemmy software doesn't offer that as a feature right now, but from what I undertstand it's not an issue on protocol level. So it's mostly a lack of user friendly configuration options?
To me fediverse just means different communties being able to talk to each other.
It seems like a lot of people use fediverse as a generic term for any decentralized system.
And at the same time, in 2023 this pointless family recieved a larger amount of tax payers money than before
This article is about mastadon instead of lemmy, but that doesnt really matter: https://ianbetteridge.com/2023/06/21/meta-and-mastodon-whats-really-on-peoples-minds/
I especially like this bit:
Mastodon is not a social network, which is where I think John and Dare start from. It’s a set of communities which may, or may not, choose to connect to each other. Those relationships are based on shared values and trust: my instance connects to yours because I trust you to moderate effectively, not allow spam, or whatever other ground rules we can agree on. Some communities choose to apply this loosely, and some more strictly (some communities, for example, won’t federate with others who don’t have the same expectations around moderation for everyone they federate with).
Cabbies?
Is kbin pronounced kay-bin or cabin?
I noticed the same thing.
After turning notifications on, I didn't get notifications for a comment I made before I turned them on, but I did get one for a comment I made after.
Maybe the notification settings only apply to new posts?
Misleading title? "Reddit claimed..", no, others claimed, reddit has not commented
