OpenAI losing their case is how we ensure that the only people who can legally be in charge of an LLM are massive corporations with enough money to license sufficient source material for training, so I’m forced to begrudgingly take their side here
“The three biggest social media sites on the internet are nothing but screenshots of the other two” is how I heard the last 10 years described
Depending on how important these large language models end up being to society, I’d rather everyone be able to freely use copyrighted works to train them, rather than reserve their use solely for the corporations rich enough to pay for the licensing or lucky enough to already have the rights to a trove of source material
OpenAI losing this battle is how we ensure that the only people that can legally train these things are the Microsofts, Googles, and the Adobes of the world so, bizarrely, as much as I think OpenAI has turned into greedy corpo scum, I feel compelled to side with them here
Every single one of your upvotes on lemmy is already public due to how the protocol works, it’s just currently obscured by a bit of work to get them (have to run your own instance, assuming there already isn’t some online tool to easily look them up)
Making them publicly and easily visible would only remove the illusion of privacy we currently have, not actually make your upvote logs less secured in any way
We already had first Microsoft anti-trust suit, but what about second Microsoft anti-trust suit?
Every browser is either chromium (open source captured by Google) or exists because of a Google search contract (this represents 80% of Mozilla’s revenue), Google can’t lose
Chrome really needs to be broken off from Google, the largest ad company owning the largest browser is clearly a huge conflict of interest
Seeing that half of my extensions (it was seriously like 10 of them) were going to be disabled is what pushed me to finally switch to Firefox because if I have to find alternatives to them it might as well be on another browser
Hexbear suffers from the nazi bar problem, they’re not ALL tankies, but they sure do hang out with a lot of them
I just don’t have the time to sus out who’s who and it’s much easier (and less massive-shock-image-spamming) to use an instance that’s defederated with them
Netplay isn’t exactly ideal, as from what I understand it generally requires the syncing of all players emulated console hardware simultaneously (basically, every emulator tricks the game into thinking they’re all being played on one single console), which is a lot harder to reliably achieve than having native netcode to handle multiplayer
If only there was a way to know who removed the code
In the EU at least, companies can say whatever they want in their ToS, it doesn’t change the fact that you legally own your digital games
Chopping the heads off the hydra will kill it this time, for sure

Don’t underestimate how dumb and greedy corpos can be
If I ever have a device connecting to open networks by itself I’m snipping its wifi antenna
No, we’re going from “a different cable for every device” to “a different cable for every device but you need a label maker because they all look the same”, and you’re going to like it
At this point I just refuse to ever connect smart TVs to wifi, it’s not worth it
If the implementation is so broad that I have to break out my label maker, can we even really call it a “standard”
The way I see it, creatives lose no matter what here, so they can either lose and only the corpos benefit, or they can lose and everyone benefits
