An LLM can essentially reproduce a work, and the whole point is to generate derivative works. So by its very nature, it runs into copyright issues.

Derivative works are not copyright infringement. If LLMs are spitting out exact copies, or near-enough-to-exact copies, that’s one thing. But as you said, the whole point is to generate derivative works.

and one to be bound

I didn’t realize ALL the log cabin republicans were into that.

I’m not saying it’s good food, I’m saying it’s decent food and good value.

I, personally, would call their Philly Cheesesteak pizza “good” food. Not, like, local restaurant level good. But early days of COVID that was my little bit of sanity. Order a couple pizzas from Dominos delivery on Sunday, eat a slice of each for lunch every day.

Whoa. Was it like, Pequod’s or something?

Dominos turned their shit around like, I dunno, 15 years ago or so. When they started making oven baked sandwiches.

I honestly really like some of their pizzas. It’s not bad. They just know that it used to be, many years ago.

It’s like when Buick made those commercials about how their new cars actually look good so people don’t realize they’re Buicks. When you have a reputation, sometimes it’s a good idea to acknowledge it.

I didn’t realize Lemmy was so restrictive. 🙄

I remember reading a story in my Spanish lit class about a guy who wasn’t attending church, and his mother was freaking out, so the family priest went to talk to him. And the priest was like, “I totally get it. After all the evil I’ve seen I don’t really believe either. But I continue in this because it is my life, and I can provide comfort to people. Consider attending because you love your mother and it will help her.”

The government does actually censor broadcast television and radio. I can’t remember why they’re allowed to.

That’s a shame. I love my PHEV because it’s an EV for driving around the city, but I can still use gas stations on road trips. I plug it in everywhere I can.

I have a beautiful unicorn pin with a magnet back on my fridge that says “Homeopathic means pretend” from the podcast Sawbones. It makes me smile.

Nobody hates leftists like slightly different leftists.

The 13” iPad Pro M4 is thinner than the iPod Nano, making it the thinnest device Apple has ever made (except for the camera bump, but we don’t talk about that). It’s wild how thin it is, but it’s significantly lighter than its predecessor and is much nicer to hold.

But it can be that thin because it’s large enough that the battery can be spread out. I wouldn’t want a phone that thin.

So glad my RT-AC86U kept having serious issues with the 2.4 GHz radio such that nothing would stay connected to the internet without 5 GHz support so I eventually trashed the damn thing after every solution failed.

SD3 won’t have the community to tune it because it is proprietary junk and irrelevant now.

What changed between SDXL and SD3? I’m out of the loop on this one.

Woof, yeah, something’s wrong if you’re only getting four hours from that battery. Is your phone constantly hot? Might be worth a visit to the “Genius” (🙄) bar.

Check your battery health in settings.

iPhone 11 is approaching five years old, and Li-Ion batteries don’t have an endless lifespan. Especially if you let it get below 20% frequently. I wouldn’t be shocked if your maximum battery capacity is pretty low, and that’s just normal wear and tear.

You could probably replace the battery at an Apple Store or certified repair shop, which would essentially make it behave like a new iPhone 11.

There were some battery drain issues in iOS17 related to specific apps, IIRC, which have since been resolved.

The thing Apple got sued for was sort of the opposite of increasing battery drain: slowing the performance of the phone to prevent it from shutting off while still having battery capacity. Phone battery draw isn’t smooth, it’s spiky, and they were dealing with a defective battery design that didn’t have a properly predictable voltage curve. So occasionally the CPU would require a voltage the battery couldn’t provide and the phone would turn off, even though the battery had plenty of juice. To prevent these shutoffs, they underclocked devices with older batteries.

The problem is they didn’t really tell anyone what they were doing, at least not publicly enough.

Last I checked I was in the top 100 for the 360° version of a specific song on Beat Saber.

Also in the top 100 on a specific Lady Gaga song on Beat Saber.

But I can only beat two of the Camellia songs on Expert+, so I’m not anywhere near the best. Kinda hit a wall and lost interest, unfortunately.

though a drug is being developed that could allow us to regenerate teeth

I think the last time I was this excited about medical science was the COVID vaccine. How I would love to replace my root canal crowns with real teeth!

“Intelligent design” is the term Young-Earth Creationists use when they want to sound smart while questioning evolution as powered by natural selection.

You can run Stable Diffusion locally on a lot of hardware. Even the iPhone, surprisingly.

CivitAI.com is a good site for free SD generation, but it’s A: sometimes buggy and B: absolutely full of porn. But by default it’s filtered and there is a lot of good SFW content there. This is also a good repository for models for SD.

Mage.space is also good for SD, but it costs money to do anything beyond the most basic generation. I haven’t used it in over a year, so I don’t know what it’s like now, but it was a really good UI. Just couldn’t justify the cost since I can generate locally and for free on CivitAI, especially given that I only generate like, a few images when someone says something I think would be fun to try. And then go a long time without. I’m not creative enough to come up with the really good prompts I see from some people.
