i truly hope you're right. enforcing copyright offenses for downloaders is an absolute waste of everyone's resources regardless of who pays. piracy is a market force, and the corpos need to just acknowledge that.

ISPs just don't want to be made to police copyright offenses for free. if the RIAA/MPAA paid them money to aid in enforcement, you can bet they be doing it in a heartbeat.

i disagree. IP laws have more or less handled humans stealing ideas from humans for commercial gain. not perfectly by any means... but both the scale an impunity and frankly the entitlement exhibited by these GenAI companies is on another level.

no matter how many times people make the argument that AIs are just "doing what humans do", it fails to sway me. an AI copying, ingesting and tokenizing other people's intellectual property is nothing like a human watching a video or hearing a song and creating something based upon or derived from it. a database backed algorithm does nothing even remotely like a human mind. it's using software to process and regurgitate the works of others, and that is pretty plainly IP theft.

I'm starting to think commercial AI should be banned. if the only way to make useful models is by ingesting human culture, then all humans should benefit from it without having to pay to have that culture shat back out in response to a prompt.

fair enough. i can see that disabling safe mode would be a decent security measure. but by the time that kind of exploit is used, you've already got bad actors inside your network and there are much easier methods available to pivot to other devices and accounts.

there's an easy fix. it could be done with a single boot attempt if M$ hadnt made it so needlessly difficult to enter safe mode

they ran out of boxes, not nuggets

wow, i thought it would be a while before someone had the chutzpah to out-greed Battlestate Games. I definitely need to stop giving these corporations the benefit of the doubt. but of course, the culprit is Riot.

probably the logo/branding
