I’m no fan of Microsoft but I get it… In the current political climate nobody wants to take the risks of being the subject of a backlash involving Judaism. The cost of keeping it was way greater than to remove it.

I act the same every time I meet a lunatic claiming whatever I’m doing is “offending” them: I politely apologise and go on with my day without a fuss in order to be left alone.

Linux supports most games nowadays. It will never support “all” games. Just like windows doesn’t support all games. At this point in time, saying Linux is not good enough with gaming is weird…

Work laptop of course, if it was my personal device I wouldn’t even care what they say. I think I’m going to isolate my work laptop from my home network now though.

L’article suggère aux employeurs de faire en sorte de crée de l’engagement, mais ils ont pensé à juste réduire les heure de travail ? Les étude sur la semaine de 4j ont montré qu’il n’y a pas de baisse de productivité, et que les gens sont juste plus heureux.

I might be wrong, but to me junior dev are just senior dev in the making, employers know that. The junior dev will continue to exist as long as employers need senior devs.

Now maybe Devs will completely disappear in the near (or far) future, but I don’t think you can remove one if you still need the other.

That was really interesting, thanks for posting

Always heard it pronouced “cute”, how would you pronounce it ?

Aren’t we doing that with books and magazine already ? Also many stores have TV on which they project movies that they sell dvd for

But then If we agree on IP, we should not complain that openai want free access to copyrighted materials, we should use their own logic to force them to make their model open source, and free for anyone to execute on their own hardware.

They get free access to data so we should get free access to the compilation of the data. Then they can charge us for the hardware cost of running the model, but they’ll have to charge us no more than what it costs, because they will be competing with other company running the exact same model and driving the price down.

I don’t know about you, but that’s my endgame, I want the end of Intellectual property, which in my opinion is the dumbest idea and the biggest scam of capitalism.

To answer your first question: No I don’t think the person growing turnip that I can see from the street should be compensated for the photograph I sell of that turnip. What next ? should we also compensate his parents for teaching him how to grow turnip, or his grandparent for teaching his parents ? What about the architect who designed the house next door that you can see in the background of the photograph ? Should the maker of the camera be compensated every time I take a picture ?..

Anyway back to AI:

I think though that the AI model resulting from freely accessing all images should also be fully open source and that anyone should be allowed to locally execute it on their own hardware. Let’s use this to push for the end of Intellectual property.

But these are intellectual property, would you be ok having to pay to be allowed to remember what you saw in the shop ?

Currently If I go to the shop, see a tasty looking ready meal, I can look at what ingredients are in it, go home and try to cook something similar without having to pay for the recipe.

That’s not exactly true. They are selling tools for people to recreate with variation.

I propose an analogy: Let’s imagine a company sells brush that are used by painter to create art, now imagine the employees of this company go to the street to look how street artist create those amazing art piece on the ground for everyone to see (the artist does ask for donation in a hat next to the art pieces), now let’s imagine the employees stay there to look at his techniques for hours and design a new kind of brush that will make it way easier to create the same kind of art.

Would you argue that the company should not be allowed to sell their newly designed brush without giving money to the street artist ?

Should all your teachers be paid for everything you produce throughout your life ?

Should your parents gets compensated every time you use the knowledge you acquired from them ?

In case anyone reading is interested by my opinion: I think intellectual property is the dumbest concept, and one of the biggest scams of capitalism. Nobody should own any ideas. Everybody should be legally able to use anyone else’s ideas and build on them. I think we’ve been deprived of an infinity of great stories, images, lore, design, music, movies, shapes, clothes, games, etc… Because of this dumb rule that you can’t use other people’s ideas.

I’ve made another comment underneath my original one explaining my understanding of it.

My understanding of its system is the following:

Hosting data costs money, so in order to have a decentralised hosting system there need to be an incentive for people to contribute hardware. Developing apps/websites costs money.

In the current internet, the incentive is that you can make money by harvesting people’s data (selling them to advertisers) and displaying ads to users.

What maidsafe proposes is that users use some of their hardware to host data, get paid in a dedicated currency that they then use to access website/apps which remunerate app developper. In this manner everyone has an incentive: users have an incentive to host data to not pay anything, developpers have an incentive to make apps in order to get paid, company and stakeholders have an incentive to invest into the system in order to have a presence/visibility.

I know nobody wants to pay to access the internet, but the truth is we already are paying for it, we just don’t realise it. If we want an ad-free internet there needs to be some other way users are paying for content, I think contributing CPU and HDD is a nice solution because it wouldn’t feel like paying.

Look into maidsafe.

These softwares use your pc’s network connections to send data to the servers which then checks whether you paid a license or not. When they can’t use your internet connection, they also add personal information to any file you generate with the softwares such that if you send the file to someone else who has a license they will unknowingly rat on you through their connection.

I don’t think the guy you are replying to should be called Jesus Christ, it doesn’t matter much to me as an atheist, but I think Jesus was against all this nonsense.

(This is a joke)

En plus la ya pas de separation homme-artistes a avoir, on parle de l’homme et l’homme en question ne mérite pas de se faire encenser comme le font les médias.

Visuellement c’est super cool, mais je pense que le coq est trop détaillé, un bon drapeaux devrait être facile a dessiner a la main sans trop de skills.
