I would like to suggest an alternate perspective, that digital media be beholden to protocols not platforms.

In other words lets focus on the drivers of competition…most evidence suggests that piracy goes down in response to easily accessible and affordable market conditions.

Bacteria are a significant part of the eco system, and can have a significant impact, but we are the deadliest being on the planet…by a long shot!

Israel is also killing journalists, as well as aid workers, its own hostage citizens waving white flags, along with thousands of non combative Palestinians, the majority being women and children.

Israel forces have killed Israeli hostages under a white flag, killed large numbers of women and children, bombed hospitals and refugee camps, along with killing reporters and aid workers…while Israel always had the right to defend itself that is not justification for extrajudicial killings or genocide, both of which should provoke harsh international condemnation and responses.

“While we disagree with the FTC’s allegations and characterization of the facts, we are pleased to resolve this matter and look forward to continuing to serve our millions of customers around the world.”…translation, we regret being caught but look forward to the opportunity of exploring alternate ways to exploiting consumers for profit.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman controls 8.7 percent of Reddit, I wonder if he values the $$$s of the Google deal or is pissed as a Google rival: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/reddit-files-ipo-sam-altman-newhouse-family-investors-1235833080/

A great way to spend time with your mom.

Isn’t everyone, and isn’t Microsoft the one helping to make these tools available?

And how will mere ‘blanket bans’ prevent hackers from finding ways to use and exploit Microsoft AI tools, after all is that not what hackers do?

Not being American have I got this right, there is a bipartisan bill aimed at punishing South Africa for raising what the the International Court of Justice then subsequently found it plausible Israel has committed acts of genocide against Gaza?

If the US wants to advocate for adherence to a rules based order then it has to be willing to abide by it, otherwise why would others?

I would suggest copyright has its foundation around printing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_copyright

They already have, “ending sales in the occupied Palestinian territories of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem”.

Irrespective of what anyone thinks of Ben & Jerry’s position, pro peace is not antisemitic, particularly when consistently applied to a range of entities and mirrored in actions, rather than just words.

Let’s start with the first step, stopping genocide, where objectively the majority of those killed are women and children, and in most cases where the average age of them is younger than when the last elections were held, that brought Hamas into a position of wielding some, but not representative power.

I wonder if the changes are retrospective and Google bans those responsible for content that have led to the change.

So, OpenAI is admitting its models are open to manipulation by anyone and such manipulation can result in near verbatim regurgitation of copyright works, have I understood correctly?

Awesome.

Works on Brave but not LibreWolf for me, and does not work on either when using a VPN.

I love Xlights, it is an awesome opensource project and I spent my evening finalising our Xmas show using Xlights.

That said, a post which just redirects to the main page of any project is in my mind just plain lame, particularly when the project landing page does not even show the awesome things the Xlights project is actually capable of.
