An interesting quandry: In a world where all ML models are derivative works of the works included in their training sets, said models will still exist because the mere production of a derivative work is not restricted by copyright law. However, the only ones that exist will be those that run in the cloud, because it will be illegal to distribute all of the large models For all that I have concerns about the things happening in the GenAI field (and dislike for a lot of the things being done with them), I can't help but feel thats the worst possible outcome. (Making it illegal to train a model is basically incompatible with the fundamentals of present day copyright law)

<p>Happy 20th birthday to Git! The first version control system I ever used and still my favorite (even if I liked Mercurial’s UX better)!

<p>today&#39;s problematic opinion of mine is that i think the servo policy is basically fine</p>

It&#39;s not the economy that&#39;s crashing because of stock prices, it&#39;s the other way around.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@keba" class="u-url mention">@<span>keba</span></a></span> American middle class, American corporations, many American non-profits and municipal organizations are all heavily invested in stock market. It going down means regular people&#39;s savings are immediately devalued, orgs lose their planned budgets, etc. Basically, over the past ~40 years everyone who has anything to save was forced into tying their wealth to stocks. For tech workers, half (or more) of your compensation comes as stock options.</p>

<p>Shouldn&#39;t be surprising that letting a bunch of marble heads dictate the conversation would result in a state of SPQR: Sono Pazzi Questi Repubblicani.</p>
