“Pay no attention to the [US government buying 10% of Intel] behind the curtain.”

LOL, it lights up when the character jumps.

LOL, nah, Firefox isn’t that stable. If 10% of crashes were caused by bad RAM, it means 90% were still caused by something else.

(My install regularly gets a memory leak that eventually makes my system unusable, BTW. I don’t think it’s necessarily the fault of Firefox itself – more likely Javascript running in tabs, maybe interacting with an extension or something, and some of the blame goes to the kernel’s poor handling of low memory conditions – but it’s definitely not “dev humblebrag stable” for me.)

Good riddance. All consoles are cancer, by their walled-garden nature.

What does the 15^th have to do with it? In theory at least, ICE prisoners aren’t citizens.

Did you mean 25^th?

MFW I go to recommend Insomnia instead, then realize that it’s apparently enshittified with “create an account” bullshit too.

I wish Lemmy supported signatures, so I could set that to be appended to all my comments.

Huh. I was expecting the strategy to be bombing the sites that would launch attacks on shipping, not to actually escort and try to defend the ships.

Yep. Couldn’t tell you dates, names, or many events, but I have a great mental image of what the places looked like and how they were laid out.

Personally (city dweller) a car is a time machine. I can get where I need to go mostly on a bike or my feet, but if I’m pressed for time - and that happens plenty - a car can get me there faster.

If your city were designed properly, that wouldn’t be true. Not that it was the most scientific thing in the world, but Top Gear famously demonstrated biking being faster than driving across London, for example.

WTF? According to the project page on github, at least some of it is AGPL. It can’t have restrictive “terms of service” on top of that!

Even as “draft, deliberative documents” it’s a fucking outrage that even a single person in the department is even considering it. Heads need to roll for this shit.

AFAIK that whole instance is nothing but Reddit repost communities and ought to just be defederated.

ITT: people misunderstanding the issue being ruled on (or rather, not being ruled on by letting the lower court decision stand).

If he had applied for copyright over the image generated using “AI” as a tool, it (edit: probably²) would have been granted, with him listed as the human author. But that’s not what he wanted. He’s apparently Hell-bent on trying to get the work registered in the name of the “AI” system itself as the author, to so that he can claim that the government recognized the “AI” as a sentient being that can own property hold a copyright¹ on its own behalf.

This is not the broad ruling against AI slop copyrightability that people think it is. It’s a ruling against “AI” personhood.

(¹ Copyright isn’t a property right, BTW)

(² He explicitly claimed he gave no creative contribution and that the work was created completely autonomously, and the court’s ruling included excluding that from being copyrightable. It is if he hadn’t done that – if he had claimed he had directed it via prompts or whatever – that I think they would have granted the copyright to him as the human author. It turns out that he changed his mind and did make that argument on appeal, but the court explicitly ignored and did not rule on it because it wasn’t raised in his initial complaint.)

In other words, it’s not that he as the human operating the “AI” is trying to claim copyright in his own name, it’s that he’s trying to set a precedent where the “AI” can hold copyright in its own name.

He’s trying to pretend that his glorified pile of statistics is sentient, and get it legally recognized as such. 🤡

I, for one, thought they were supposed to have been replaced in the US by the F-22 and/or F-35 and therefore assumed they were only still being used by other countries.

LOL at the F-35 erasure.
