A) Most companies jumping on the AI bandwagon are training their own models.

B) The music industry has been legally using samples to create new songs since the 90’s.

AI is here to stay.

At least you can flash routers with OpenWrt or something to make them not shitty.

Ghub is the reason I stopped buying Logitech hardware years ago. This just confirms that I should continue buying from their competitors.

They’ve been going downhill for years anyway. This is just the last nail in the coffin.

Smart move. They also clearly understand that AI is here to stay and it’s better to embrace it rather than fight it. This will give Japan an unhindered advantage while the rest of the world cries over who allowed a computer to look at their artwork.

Like 15 years ago I bought the cheapest Brother laser printer. It’s still going strong. The ink never dries out or fucks up. I’ve never felt like the company was trying to rape my asshole. Why anyone still plays the ink jet game I do not fuckin know. I’ve boycotted HP decades ago and to this day I continue to see reasons to never change that decision.

Another cool feature is you can spoof your device’s name. This can allow you to install apps that daddy Google does not approve of for your device.

That’s not an Android problem, that’s a Google Play Services problem. You can run Android without all the Google bullshit.

Add to that, the way they are damned is typically by flickering them off and on aka Pulse width modulation. This is super common in LED strips.

I wish I could upvote you multiple times! This is the most accurate and well explained explaination of the current state of things. You nailed it about the assets too.

I tuned out when she said AI doesn’t create anything new.

It is in California, which is where reddit is based.

That’s not what I was responding to but in any case, no, I don’t think tiktok is a threat to national security or going to cause a war. This is FUD.

The majority of americans are fuckin stupid and believe whatever their TV programming tells them to believe.

Who said anything about war?? I’m staying “in this regard”, which is about privacy and data being taken and used by a government. Outside of that context yes I think the CCP is absolutely worse than the US in just about every category. There’s no question there.

I honestly don’t miss reddit anymore. For a bit there it seemed like Lemmy was lacking in content. That’s no longer the case. Even better is there is less low effort bullshit to sift through to find said content. I don’t want more recent users to come over. We’ve got the good ones already. Let the rest stay where they are.

Yes, yes I do. Also the CCP can’t ruin my life, unlike Uncle Sam. Deciding which one is more evil is irrelevant.

You don’t think Meta, Google etc are passing data to the American government?

Same. In fact I tried to find alternatives but there just wasn’t one at the time.
