It’s not accelerating the trend one bit by opening it to everyone. Music labels and Spotify don’t plan on putting a stop to AI, they want to own it. The artists lost decades ago and siding with copyright juggernauts doesn’t help anyone but the copyright juggernauts.

It hurts record companies. They want to own all AI generated music. It’s quite clear with what happened to udio. It’s monopolies against open source, not AI against artists.

You joke but they threatened to call the cops on me after the sixth call or so.

More education is always a good thing. Diplomas are probably a requirement for high end luxury shops that pay better. I had a friend who worked in a Ferrari dealership as a mechanic, he made good money.

You can look up average starting salaries online coming out with different diplomas and compare them. Trade schools will have the info usually somewhere on their website. Might give you a better idea.

Another quick tidbit but it’s a good time to ask yourself if you want to work on cars badly enough that you are willing to drive a shit car to do it. There are much much better salaries in aviation for essentially the same type of jobs. It’s better to be working on planes for a living so you can afford to work on cars as a hobby.

Using scraped data to train AI models was never seen as theft before the recent media campaign.

Labeling it as such won’t stop AI, it will just let aggregation websites like Reddit and Deviant Art set the entry price. Any artist that uploads his work on the net has already signed his rights away when it comes to this.

It’s even worse when you get into music gen (5 corps own all the data) and video gen (Hollywood and YouTube). Individuals are simply not getting a piece of the pie no matter what happens.

Would it make sense to build a vaccine for them? I figure their numbers are relatively low and most of them are tracked one way or another.

I like watching protests and other events in real time.

Transformers, turok and mecha Godzilla come to mind. Not post apocalyptic per say but saying Sony owns robo dinos in a post apocalyptic future sounds fool hardy.

This is in no way good for us, the consumers. If it was Nintendo doing it, everyone be would be livid.

I’ve played a lot of good games that were blatant ripoffs. Companies shouldn’t own concepts, fuck Sony.

I’d give it less credence if it wasn’t for Altman trying to buy the wafers themselves.

I think they panicked when China and Meta started releasing multi million models for free. Stifling hardware is the only way they can recoup their investments.

Certain companies are buying up all the stock because it stops individuals from building their own AI capable rig and forces them and businesses into subscription models.

They are using copyright laws in the same way and lobbying so building new models legally costs millions of dollars and open sourcing stops being viable.

The biggest threat to the AI bubble is people running the same services out of their home with open source alternatives for a fraction of the price.

Nice try, FBI

Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, has two cards to play that might pop the AI bubble. If she does so, Trump’s presidency will be thrown into crisis.

First, Dutch company ASML commands a global monopoly on the microchip-etching machines that use light to carve patterns on silicon. These machines are essential for Nvidia, the AI microchip giant that is now the world’s most valuable company. ASML is one of Europe’s most valuable companies, and European banks and private equity are also invested in AI. Withholding these silicon-etching machines would be difficult for Europe, and extremely painful for the Dutch economy. But it would be far more painful for Trump.

The US’s feverish investment in AI and the datacentres it relies on will hit a wall if European export controls slow or stop exports to the US – and to Taiwan, where Nvidia produces its most advanced chips. Via this lever, Europe has the means to decide whether and by how much the US economy expands or contracts.

Second, and much easier for Europe, is the enforcement of the EU’s long-neglected data rules against big US tech companies. Confidential corporate documents made public in US litigation show how vulnerable companies such as Google can be to the enforcement of basic data rules. Meanwhile, Meta has been unable to tell a US court what its internal systems do with your data, or who can access it, or for what purpose.

This data free-for-all lets big tech companies train their AI models on masses of everyone’s data, but it is illegal in Europe, where companies are required to carefully control and account for how they use personal data. All Brussels has to do is crack down on Ireland, which for years has been a wild west of lax data enforcement, and the repercussions will be felt far beyond.

I just think the big players aren’t touching personal blogs or social media anymore and only use specific vetted sources, or have other strategies in place to counter it. Anthropic is the one that told everyone how to do it, I can’t imagine them doing that if it could affect them.

That being said, sabotaging all future endeavors would likely just result in a soft monopoly for the current players, who are already in a position to cherry pick what they add. I wouldn’t be surprised if certain companies are already poisoning the well to stop their competitors tbh.

It’s a console for people who don’t like being constantly kicked in the balls so they drop their money.

Those actually get reused. There hasn’t been a new pair of silicone boobies manufactured in the past ten years. It’s also one of the most common reason for hauntings.
