Russian Telegram channels recently published footage showing Russian soldiers making DIY anti-drone ammunition by using the pellets taken from buckshot rounds and repurposing them to be used in normal 5.45x39mm rounds used in assault rifles.
This was intentionally pushed out by a WH aid to the WSJ which is a respected but allied news outlet. Clearly they are setting the stage.
I know the founding fathers made 'Treason' nearly impossible to charge someone with because of past abuses by the crown, but damn... these people betrayed our country. Most of us knew this all along but now that they are hanging it out there publicly we should go for the throat. These people need to suffer the harshest consequences in order to ensure it never happens again.
TLDR: a lot of people are getting fucked by AI and a lot of money is being made from it and will all bear the negative consequences
Random shower thought as I go through this life from one day to the next. If AI has been trained on work created by people, then it owes it to those people that it exists in the first place. I don't think most authors who wrote articles did it so that someone can take their work out of the place where they published it, strip their name and create derivatives without any kind of compensation given to them.
These fucking clowns in the court system are sure acting like this is some big conundrum that needs to be thought over (I think they're just milking court fees). If this is allowed then I should be allowed to record a video in a cinema and open up my own at $1/ticket. Or dub a song and play it on my own radio station.
But since they made a lot of money selling their shit they can hire an army of lawyers to muddy up the waters while they make shitloads of money.
I read lines from some articles like "it's up to the courts to decide if it's theft". It's as if the courts decide what reality is, which is why I hate judges (more like despots) for the most part.
Another one: "there was no proof of damages". Well then, I should be able to pirate anything because the kikes at the MPAA can't prove any damages either. How many copies would they have sold if I didn't download or share that movie? They can't possibly know that or make that shit up in any logical sense, yet people get fined for it, per copy. It's sheer utter kikery. I agree with them that I used their work in a way they did not intend, but going after fictional profits is bullshit. Yet, there it is, enforced like that, so why isn't this being enforced for websites? Kikery, like I said.
It sucked to be a writer in the past and now there is no fucking point anymore. The chinks steal every fucking thing they get their hands on and obliterated domestic industry, likewise AI will destroy any motivation to write anything, original or otherwise.
I don't have a dog in this fight, but I can't help but notice the bullshit. I mainly get pissed off now at how my search results are a filtered, pre-approved interpretation safe for my obedient citizen eyes, instead of actual content written by people. It's the last gasp of the free internet as these greedy assholes have found a way to remove the content providers out of the equation. But it's not permanent as AI can't create original work. I think a dark age of information is coming as there will be an author shortage in the next decades. These AIs can't exist without people making things for them to steal.
