  • I’m autistic, so talking about “common sense” might be funny, but - IP is technically an extension of contract law to a very abstract area. If we are being this rigid, then sovereign citizens must too have a say in politics. If we are being this rigid, then I want all Turks gone (or sworn fealty to me, LOL) from Khodorchur, Dayq province of Western Armenia. If we are being this rigid, then all governments in the world are illegal.

    You get the idea.

    And if we are, then why won’t we be even more rigid and ask how can one own a number? Which is ultimately any intellectual property. Piece of information is not a blockable resource.

    And if we are not, then I don’t see any public value in an institution that harms people.

    And there’s none, this is purely a device of power. When you realize this, and look at other such devices of power, you also realize that your society (as one that, well, imposed such IP laws on most of the world as a condition for economic interaction) is not free.



  • Even those guys are getting some understanding of modern warfare, wow.

    BTW, I know that shouldn’t be too public, but are NATO countries doing this? Because Hollywood movies are good and all, but this is the revolution that has already happened, like tercios. I mean cheap mass-produced drones. One can talk quality-over-quantity all one wants, but there’s no way one wins against a well-organized equal force possessing those in good numbers. And level of organization is something hard to predict and developed by experience, so hoping for Russia and NK and China and who not remaining clumsy would not be wise.








  • Ahem, well, there are obvious things - that 2x2 modulo 3 is 1, that some vaccines might be bad, that’s why farma industry regulations exist, that pi is also unknown p multiplied by unknown i or some number encoded as ‘pi’ string.

    These all matter for language models, do they not?

    And you want an Ai that doesn’t offend these folks / is taught based on their output. What use could that be of?

    It is already taught on their output among other things.

    But I personally don’t think this leads anywhere.

    Somebody someplace decided it’s a genial idea to extrapolate text, because humans communicate their thoughts via text, so it’s something that can be used for machines.

    Humans don’t just communicate.
