Pretty sure an organization like Pew knows how yes l to handle the most basic challenges with polling (self-selection bias of those who answer polls). There are validated, proven ways to address those issues with a large enough sample size and specific methods for how and who they poll.

As a photographer and the spouse of a writer, they are making massive profits off of a product that wouldn’t exist if they didn’t train it. By the very way the technology works, there’s a little bit of our work scattered in everything they do. If I included a sample of a piece of music in a song I recorded, or included a copyrighted painting in the background if a movie I was making, is would have to get a license. Why is this any different?

They should have done something more like a commodity license as it exists in music:

The composer of a song cannot prevent a new artist from recording a cover of their music if it has been previously released. The original composer is legally forced to grant them a license (hence “compulsory license”). But that license is at a pre-negotiated minimal rate. The new artist is free to try to negotiate a lower rate if the composer agrees. But the original composer can’t stop the new artist from recording a cover. And the new artist has to pay them for it.

Unfettered access is granted and the composer gets their share. Win-win.

That’s disappointing to say the least. I’m sure there will be a few more lawsuits as big publishers like Disney try to get their share of the pie.

The ‘pirating’ news from a couple of months ago was Meta, specifically. But I’m sure Anthropic did some too.

The issue I’ve always had wasn’t that they didn’t own a copy to read/reference. It’s that they’re effectively creating derivative works from that content, which they haven’t licensed for that use.

According to my understanding of copyright law (IANAL but I took a few IP law classes on in college) every author whose work was fed into that beast could have an argument that they share copyright in the derivative work that comes out of it.

I thought free software was when you were the product and non-free software actually supported developers.

Or do you mean non-OSS?

That would be hilarious. Wolf Hall but technically in the Star Trek universe. 10 normal episodes per season, but once it twice a time traveler randomly shows up.

The MAGA nuts are Christian nationalist protestants. They think the Pope is the antichrist (literally many of them do).

Resigning would do no good. It’s not like a parliamentary system where they need them or something. The Republicans can govern with a simple majority, which they have with a few seats to spare. That even meets quorum rules.

You lost me at “without bitterness and infighting” It’s been more than 100 years and some people are still fighting that war.

The color or the fruit?

Where does it say they were American? I missed that if it did.

Let me introduce you to the world of professional sports. Especially hockey, but others too.

Not at the scale of Hollywood, for sure. But it’s been going on a very long time. There are 4th generation NHLers at this point.

ISO dates, 100%.

Time zones…I could see arguing to rework them, but abolish them? How would that even work?

Looking at you, Google Play Library.

No matter where you live, AirBnB/VRBO can only make housing prices go up, never down. At best it’ll be neutral. It’s always taking inventory that might otherwise go to a local.

Could she have done better? Maybe. But I still think her losing had way more to do with more of the country being sexist and racist at heart than we’d like to believe

Since these polls were started in 1945. He broke his own record set in 2017.

There’s a kid who calls her father dada (dadda?..sp?) throughout the movie

Things going on in the USA right now should be a reminder that just because there are gains, that doesn’t mean they can’t be reversed. Continued celebrations highlighting visibility are still needed, outside of just the fact that they’re also just allowed to celebrate their community.

I agree they need to hear the message. Just a bit of a stretch from the normal “working class” definition. I have a feeling a huge portion if not possibly a majority of attendees there have/had trust funds. They’re hardly paycheck to paycheck.

They’re dropping $1000+ per person for a concert, all said and done (food at places like this is crazy, travel costs, etc).

That said, you are absolutely right we shouldn’t divide ourselves up and I’m glad he was there. Just meant to observe the irony in the headline.
