They checked to see whether or not they had Lemmy accounts.

I’m guessing Gemini did the math.

I really wish the answer was a legally enforced robots.txt file that very easily allowed any web data any organization or individual user is posting to script out what the permissions are. I often use a LLM as a search and most of the time the citations are pretty decent and I use those to link out to source content. I run a small blog and I’d love to get indexed in a LLM, not blocked, as long as I was assured a reference link for any content used and had some legal recourse if I found my data was being misused. I don’t love the answer being another mega corporation posing as a white knight looking to skim some money off of the “loophole” that is AI copyright infringement.

I ran AI on my toaster and Hilarity ensued! Subscribe to hear more!!

That is a drive unit. The robot is bending down next to it wearing a vest.

“[the app] basically paints a target on federal law enforcement officers’ backs”

When it comes to painting targets on backs, better them then innocent civilians.

You just need to pay!

Call me when all these LLM get their internet cut off then.

I agree with you. I think this will likely happen to some degree. At the same time, that kind of argument could be used against many new technologies and is not a valid one to not utilize new tech.

400 million user loss doesn’t sound like “quietly shrinking”. Sounds like outright hemorrhaging users because instead of improving, you are consistently making products shittier each year.

Seems like the sort of thing that might lend itself to video?

Good luck. Even David Attenborrough can’t help but anthropomorphize. People will feel sorry for a picture of a dot separated from a cluster of other dots. The play by AI companies is that it’s human nature for us to want to give just about every damn thing human qualities. I’d explain more but as I write this my smoke alarm is beeping a low battery warning, and I need to go put the poor dear out of its misery.

Thanks. Guardian might not be a bad alternative to try BTW, Sh.itjust.works isn’t US based.

Seems like a high bar for checking the news. I’ll just switch to a different news outlet.

Shame to further isolate the US towards the largely crappy intranational journalism options.

Any recommendations for a good replacement? I check BBC world on the daily but will be stopping as soon as this kicks in.

That only works under the rule of law.

This post was a bit long. Is there a YouTube video that explains this?

Pretty much have. If it’s not https, I stay away.

There are plenty of Europeans that still have money. These are aimed at the upper upper classes and people in those strata have not been feeling the economic pinch the way many of us have.

I have a freely accessible document that I have a cc license for that states it is not to be used for commercial use. This is commercial use. Your policy would allow for that document to be used though since it is accessible. This kind of policy discourages me from easily sharing my works as others profit from my efforts and my works are more likely to be attributed to a corporate beast I want nothing to do with then to me.

I’m all for copyright reform and simpler copyright law, but these companies need to be held to standard copyright rules and not just made up modifications. I’m convinced a perfectly decent LLM could be built without violating copyrights.

I’d also be ok sharing works with a not for profit open source LLM and I think others might as well.
