One is my name. The other is not.

Depends on location, but I don’t think I’m too bad.

  • To the nearest convenience store (more than that, really; a drug store and mini grocery store): 400m
  • To the nearest chain supermarket: 2km
  • To the bus stop: 100m (but the bus doesn’t go many places
  • To the nearest park: 600m (a small park, a much larger one 2km away)
  • To the nearest *big* supermarket: 6km
  • To the nearest library: 2.5km
  • To the nearest train station: 2km for local rail, like 25km for rare intercity trains

It's the same builders that build the cheap homes

What cheap homes? No one is building those these days, other than maybe Habitat for Humanity and companies making mobile/prefab homes.

Ron was happy to cash a fat Netflix check for his bullshit memoir, now shocked he ignored all the signs Vance was an asshole.

The don’t have a plan to fix ANY crisis. Or problem.

Republicans have only a few plans:

  • Tax cuts for the rich
  • Appoint conservative judges that will ignore the law in favor their political beliefs
  • Ban abortion
  • Repeal LQBTQ+ rights
  • Send more people to prison
  • Fire every liberal in government

But that is just it. When a commercial enterprise is literally saving copyrighted content and car reproduce it on demand, copyright holders have every right to object. Either use public domain materials and/or license copyrighted materials, or don’t try to make money off AI.

I didn’t say that at all. I was responding to OP claiming they don’t memorize content at all.

[–] derf82@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Not many. And generally not book passages or whole NY Post articles. That’s the point. OP claims it tosses the original, but it doesn’t.

This process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages. The AI discards the original text, keeping only abstract representations in "vector space".

Citation needed. I’m pretty sure LLMs have exactly reproduced copyrighted passages. And considering it can created detailed summaries of copyrighted texts, it obviously has to save more than “abstract representations.”

In Nov 2020, the person that ran things for years died, and control passed to other family members that immediately sued each other.

I’m any case, seems greed likely started to drive everything, they pushed expansion over safety, and wound up killing people.

Your reply “I’m happy to overpay for a kitchen” and “we don’t have that problem in Australia” wasn’t pouty?

[–] derf82@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yeah, I wish we had such a law in my US state. But we don’t. But if they want to play those games, I’m not playing along or trying the Australian site. But around here, we do have hotel options with kitchens.

The complaint is showing why the things in the article are happening. People are choosing hotels because they are priced out of short term rentals.

And it depends on where you are. A standard working city, sure. A common vacation destination, it is absolutely an issue.
