It’s a shame but it seems most companies only pretended to cut ties.

They are recording all the lines again with someone else according to the article.

I misspoke in my first comment. It’s vague on if copyrights are shared but it does explicitly say it gains ownership.

In any case, this issue has been brought up and they haven’t fixed it. Every other platforms makes it very clear who has ownership of what. There’s too much room for abuse and its either a grift or incompetence and with all the other problems with the platform, it’s not a good look.

Federated platforms are popping up for this kind of thing, better to wait imo.

This is really the best option. It’s incredibly easy these days and let’s them incorporate an e-shop later.

Although a lot of these platforms are about getting exposure as well.

Their TOS isnt very long, a user linked it above.

Here’s the abridged part that is of interest:

(Everything on the website including user generated content) are copyrighted unless otherwise noted and are the property of Cara and/or the individual artist

are copyrighted unless otherwise noted and are the property of Cara and/or the individual artist

The hateboner is justified. For all it’s faults, instagram explicitly says it doesn’t own any of the pictures and only has a license to display which the user can revoke at anytime.

Deviant art has this in it’s TOS:

DeviantArt does not claim ownership rights in your works or other materials posted by you to DeviantArt (Your Content).

It might be due to plain incompetence and not malice but their TOS lets them do a lot more than most platforms.

Cara has it in their terms of service that they gain the shared copyright of anything posted on their website. Nothing in their terms of service says they can’t open a store and sell prints or even sell the data to an AI company.

Cara is literally one of the worse places for artists.

The user he responded to said the sanctions affected WW2 when the sanction happened much later.

It’s easy to start thinking everyone that doesn’t think like you is a bot. I try to always assume I’m talking to real people, anything else is a bad habit imo.

It needs to have the intelligence of a 5 year old at minimum before we send it to the mines, so it can feel it

I remember walking into bars and even paying the entry fee just to walk right back out 2 minutes later and waste my time going to the next one. Sometimes, it would happen multiple times in a row. It never made the experience better.

The laws are currently the same for everyone when it comes to what you can use to train an AI with. I, as an individual, can use whatever public facing data I wish to build or fine tune AI models, same as Microsoft.

If we make copyright laws even stronger, the only one getting locked out of the game are the little guys. Microsoft, google and company can afford to pay ridiculous prices for datasets. What they don’t own mainly comes from aggregators like Reddit, Getty, Instagram and Stack.

Boosting copyright laws essentially kill all legal forms of open source AI. It would force the open source scene to go underground as a pirate network and lead to the scenario you mentioned.

I agree, that is why I didn’t bring up the possibility of enslavement or colonization. I’d even say the chances are higher of a civ being benign than not when reaching a space faring stage. I base this on mostly nothing.

I do believe an intelligent creature is probably at least mildly curious. Couple that with the likely hood of an advance civ having enough resources to build whatever projects they want, only a small subset of their population would need to be curious enough to make it a reality.

you can’t count on the grid’s energy mix improving or not getting worse as the vehicle fleet transitions to BEV.

That is a possibility but they have already corrupted hydrogen. Between the two, I will go with the one that can go either way. There’s also the fact that EVs are being produced now while hydrogen car production is still a way off, so it’s a stall tactic as well

Yet somehow these “fast” charging stations, which aren’t as fast or convenient as regular gas stations (and still run at least partially on fossil fuels anyway), have to get built everywhere. If we can’t get rid of these stations then let them be hydrogen stations.

They can also be set up anywhere and are much more convenient, I’ve seen quite a few in residential streets, companies can set them up in their parking lots, etc. You can’t treat a compressed gas the same way, even if it’s just the canisters. It willl require much more investment in our infrastructure and conversion isn’t straight forward.

I think it’s cool tech but in our situation and looking at our current needs, pushing for hydrogen right now is a pipe dream fueld by the oil industry.

This is mostly for the car industry though, the same doesn’t necessarily hold for the industrial sector.

So their whole argument is that tectonic plates are needed for complex life to emerge. There isn’t much proof for it either way obviously but I find the argument flawed.

In any case, here is why I think aliens are here, either waiting for us to divest ourselves of our economic system and destructive ways (capitalism breaks when you mix in easy space exploration and heavy automation) or observing us and how changes emerge in our society like we do with secluded tribes.

1. Any advanced civ can tell a planet has life on it from a great distance. If simple life is rare, they would of had a probe here a long long time ago.

2. We started modifying the climate over 3000 years ago. Any civ within an 1000 light year range would have had enough time to notice and make it here. That is around 7 million star systems.

3. An advanced civ would have covered every single solar system with Von Newman probes.

I think the fernie paradox is more of a test than a rule. Any civ that can’t pull itself out of the muck is probably bad news for galactic society, so they wait and see.

I could see trump being anti mutant

A big cat does describe the feeling pretty well actually.

It’s hard to put into words how much I love this

Most of the hydrogen on market is made with methane.

EVs use whatever source is being given, and most of these sources are converting to renewables.

Not comparable imo.

It’s also worth noting that EVs can be charged at home. Fast charging isn’t necessary for most and it’s silly to pretend like hydrogen doesn’t need its own distribution network. It’s a lot more complicated to set up a hydrogen refilling station than a fast charging one and you can’t fully fill your hydrogen over night by plugging it into your wall outlet.
