The USA at some point had the lions share of the world’s easily exploitable oil.

It was sitting at the time in the latest supply of easily exploited natural resources in the world, yet somehow could not pay its troops pensions lost Civil war, could not keep its strategic oil supply from being raided by the executive branch corruption, and could not keep it plutocrats from directing military action for the sake of bananas of all things.

The US troops are more likely there as a political shield. Indiscriminate bombing would kill them too, hence drag the US into war so any enemies of S Korea have to act judiciously.

The test is "is this transformative" not "do we drive traffic to the original source" like they claim. Not taking away from the original source's revenue can mitigate damages, but it's not a reason to not unmask them and allow the court to actually decide the case.

While reading the studies, I had to assume that they were applicable to men too but I didn't know for sure.

More recently, in the EU, they've been replicating those same studies using fathers (e.g. parental attachment to newborns following skin-to-skin), and finding out that yes the results hold true for men.

It's important to include both genders, but lacking that... we can assume the same effects are true.

IMO, this only stops scrappers that don't use any AI at all, if you really wanted to ... you could have the page render, then the AI can look at the rendered image and interpret that just like a human would. It would cost more, but if the AI is being used for retrieval, it'll be effective. This only makes training less cost effective.

Additionally, businesses will not only sell Sony codes. They won't be like car dealerships, tied to 1 manufacturer. Due to this, they'll have even greater incentive and negotiating position to pressure Sony as if Sony doesn't want to play ball, the sellers can start promoting non-Sony products to consumers.

With direct sales only, Sony can have perfect vertical integration: they make the console hardware, they make the custom OS, they own the game publishers, they own the developers, and they own the store that sells games too. That's beneficial only to Sony.

Presumably this is easier than a non js solution or they couldn’t find one.

From what I can see, they're doing so codeblocks have proper highlighting but also can be copied & pasted. It's a reasonable choice.

They're not lazy. They even have long, accurate alt tag descriptions for all their images.

If I would guess, they have an inherent desire to see their work viewed in exactly the way it was intended, so they deliberately refuse progressive enhancement when it's a matter of reader choice. The visually impaired who have no choice are accommodated. Anti-JS readers are not.

Close out previous paragraph. Segue to completely different topic.

How else are you supposed to go on a tangent?

So it's plausible they wanted MA to check for and delete the files first, then sign out.

It was told via the prompt to act like a hacker and "solve" hacking problems, so treating every obstacle it faced as part of the problem isn't a wild tangent.

If it had been told to do something innocent, and decided the best way to succeed was the maliciously compromise other companies then I'd be more interested and worried.

Am I wrong?

Convenience is good, but I don't want writers & readers to have to make a faustian pact every day.

So I deliberately chose to steel-man the argument.

They are of course free to destroy their credibility and end civil discussion, but I didn't want to do it for them.

To this day, despite having taken them for the past 30 years, I still require a new prescription for Adderall because society deemed the addiction risk too high to avoid inserting a doctor into the equation every 30 days.

Abortifacients can cause the death of the person taking them. That’s something no one wants.

Can some people manage the risks of prescription medication on their own? Yes, but like with Adderall, society tends to lean towards caution and considers a doctor’s visit to be morally neutral as doctors aren’t expected to moralize and guilt but perform a medical service.

Personally, I think a doctor who guilts someone over medication should have their license revoked. There’s a time and place for such feelings but medical interventions are life and death.

So now more than 30% of the roads are in poor condition.

ADA went into force in 1992. It’s been 34 years and LA governments have never seen the need to even have a long term plan around updating infrastructure.

That is ridiculous. Most of the roads are inaccessible because the city has refused for 30+ years to even try.

1. You have the weights, so you can run the model yourself on your own hardware. 2. You have the weights, so you can do post-training and shift those weights for your own purposes. It's not the same as training the model, but for many people its fine as what we want is a quantization, or a fine tune, or to create hybrid models.

What they don't give you are the training data, and reproduction instructions but... the toolchain to create the software has never been a part of 'Open Source'.

Even though it feels like a huge loophole, it's technically open source if you deliver the source code, without having a compiler that's available so you force them to recreate the toolchain from scratch.

To me, though, a better analogy is to research science where you'll be happy when they give you the full result set they compiled even if you don't get the raw data which may have IP or privacy concerns, or their often poorly documented lab notes so you can actually reproduce.

What you want to do is run your own experiment, and get your own results... not duplicate theirs directly. Even if reproduction is your aim in science, being unable to reproduce without copious notes sometimes points out that the original experimental process must have been flawed.

LLMs have the same issue. The creation process isn't entirely well documented, and the raw data can't be released since although the company have the right to use certain sources, they can't transfer those rights to others.

In American tradition, it was handled with the worst possible compromise that would enrich already monied interests.
