There are cases progressing through the courts. If the courts rule that copyright has been violated by the AIs under current laws then we won’t need to create a new offense or expand IP laws currently on the books.
wtf are people actually buying
A unique work of art I guess since it’s unlikely anyone would be able to replicate the prompt in order to get the same results.
When someone makes use of a service and doesn’t pay afterwards that is considered to be theft even if the provider hasn’t been deprived on anything. For example, if I snuck into an art gallery without paying I won’t remove anything tangible since the gallery’s overheads and running costs were fixed long before I arrived.
A better word would be copyright infringement if the AI is making use of other works without a license or other permission. Based on my reading of the article it appears those involved only fed the AI works in the public domain or works that they had created themselves. The letter of complaint appears to be signed by artists who are unaware of these circumstances.
Yeah party politics should be decided by who ‘donates’ the most money not by voters or party members. Pay up or shut up plebs!
In politics we call those groups factions and ‘vocal minorities’ form the base of support.
If you want to change policy in the USA then you need to either mobilise large numbers of people or large amounts of money and I’m surprised that the top comment is someone complaining about a political party being subject to democratic forces.
This is from Q4 when ad spending doubles in the run up to Christmas. Q1 would probably earn half as much.
Plus it was an election year so loads of money from campaign ads, too.
I don’t understand why these back benchers troll the chamber with bills like this. There’s all sorts of sensible regultaion that is actually achievable if he actually put the effort in. Either he doesn’t believe that these things are harmful or he doesn’t care about the harm they cause.
Good idea if you don’t want publishers to send you any advanced copies of their games in the future, which is just as well since your review won’t be relevant to anyone. At that point it’s just a preview.
Britain was the first country to use concentration camps. The Nazis stole the idea from us.
Chinese people are much more nationalistic than their government is. If it were a democracy it would have invaded Taiwan long ago.
It’s good to see people engaging in cultural exchange and learning about each other through the app. Rednote sounds like an interesting place; most online spaces are dominated by men with relatively few women.
They also developed a way of writing with roman characters (called pinyin) so they could type on computers and phones. Taiwan developed a different method and Japan uses its own alphabet .
Chinese uses ideograms, which are the same for all dialects and are even used in Japan.
They ban reporting on the stock market if it closes 64 or 89 points lower than it opened. https://www.france24.com/en/20190604-8964-china-stocks-reference-tiananmen-anniversary-again
The BBC spoke to someone who acquired a large following shortly after signing up.
Some social media users tell the BBC that they find themselves scrolling on RedNote more than TikTok. “Even if TikTok does stay I will continue to use my platform I’ve created on RedNote,” Tennessee tech worker Sydney Crawley told the BBC. Ms Crawley said she got over 6,000 followers within 24 hours of creating her RedNote account. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2475l7zpqyo
The Guardian says over 500,000. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/14/tiktok-ban-rednote-app
trans-inclusive radical feminists
TIRFs?
Personally I prefer the company of trans-agnostic practicing sexists or TAPS.
The thread is about tiktok being banned in Albania. I thought you might be familiar with Australia’s threats to ban tiktok whilst ignoring the crimes other tech companies commit and making no effort to protect Australians from them.
Did you miss the comment I made about Instagram? That was specifically about the content of the site having a negative impact on users.
I commented on your post so yeah I think I managed to click on it. Did you bother to read mine and think of a coherent response before typing? Nah just ignore my efforts to put this in a wider context and dismiss me as a tankie. I’ll just dismiss you as racist since you only complain when it’s a Chinese company doing it.
I’m all in favour of robust privacy protections like GDPR. I don’t support yellow peril bullshit when a Chinese company successfully operates in the same space that US companies do.
Is it a bad thing when political leaders have a presence on social media? Would you prefer it if the leaders of the 2 biggest economies in the world were actively censored and suppressed by these platforms?
Seems like a weird complaint to make.
Everything TikTok is accused of is either just a true for other social media/ website or more so. Thanks to Edward Snowden we know for a fact that US tech companies forward your emails and data to the NSA. There is no evidence of Tiktok sharing any data with any government. Yet it’s tiktok that get’s threatened with bans rather than facebook and gmail.
Instagram is notorious for making girls feel bad about their appearance and pushing them to anorexia and self harm yet no one’s proposing to ban it.
I like how the article presents this as some super secret conspiracy when Mitt Romney and others made public statements openly admitting to this.
