…are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony…

They absolutely should. Closed ecosystems should be illegal. They are literally an intentional form of unethical, predatory trust.

Oh, did GM just step in it this time. Being stupid and removing important features is one thing, but straight-up defamation like this is another.

Google and Apple’s lawyers must be salivating a river right now.

I really like Orion, which is based on WebKit… but it’s Mac only. 😢

Remember, Firefox is great and has no dependency on upstream Google code.

Use Firefox.

If only I could get wifi to work on a linux partition, it would be the perfect linux machine.

Well yeah - because that’s not how LLMs work. They generate sentences that conform to the word-relationship statistics that were generated during the training (e.g. making comparisons between all the data the model was trained on). It does not have any kind of logic and it does not know things. It literally just navigates a complex web of relationships between words using the prompt as a guide, creating sentences that look statistically similar to the average of all trained sentences.

TL;DR; It’s an illusion. You don’t need to run experiments to realize this, you just need to understand how AI/ML works.

That doesn’t work with AI for a variety of technical and practical reasons.

Two people could, completely coincidentally, generate something that is so similar that it looks the same at a glance… even with dramatically different prompts on dramatically different models.

No, the output of an AI is fundamentally “coincidental” and should not be subject to copyright. Human intent and authorship MUST be a significant factor. An artist can still use AI in their workflow, but their direct involvement and manipulation must be meaningfully “transformative” for copyright to apply in a fair and equitable way.

Agreed. I believe in a strong public domain and militantly protected fair use; AFAIC, all unaltered AI output should be considered public domain. Direct human authorship (or “substantially transformative” modification) is the benchmark for where copyright should apply.

This is usually how FREE TRIALS work, though, and always has been.

Historically I’ve done exactly that. Debian for servers, Ubuntu for workstations (because I like GNOME). But my hate for Snap runs so deep that I’ve started using Debian w/ GNOME more and more often over the last year or so.

I’m running it in GPT4All (CPU-based) with 64GB of RAM, and it runs pretty well. I’m not sure what you’d need if you were running it on GPU instead.

Check out Wizard 30B Uncensored. IMO it’s about as good as NerfedGPT 4… except free and private.

At this point, even if they backpedaled completely - even if they fired spez - it’s far too little and far too late. Third party apps are gone. The trust is gone. Folks like me deleted their content and their accounts. There is no going back.
