I wonder how that would go in court, I wonder if it’s been tried before? I could see an argument that if that was the intention and how they made money via gained followers, even indirectly, maybe it wouldn’t be fair use.

Edit: Like if they gain followers reposting grok modified images, and then they also show sponsored ads to their followers, now they are benefiting commercially by gaining followers via modified grok images. That might not be fair use, assuming the modified item was fair use to begin with otherwise.

May I introduce you to Fair Use Doctrine.

I wasn’t going to log in to verify either lol.

Even if that’s the case, it will come down to fair use policy which will allow quite a lot.

If the specific instance of sharing isn’t fair use and Twitter allows it, then sue them, someone will. Reddit for example though is just littered with modified images and they’ve been fine. Same with Lemmy.

Edit: If someone starts trying to make money off modified images via Grok, then that becomes a much easier case to win.

new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

This specific part is kinda stupid.

Nothing was ever preventing anyone from modifying an artists work. Its incredibly common. No one needs consent to modify anything.

To distrubute something that isn’t yours that doesn’t fall under fair use, absolutely. But modifying without consent is a joke.

And here I was thinking id just upgrade to one of these on my AM4 board… guess not.

That’d be easy enough to test wouldn’t it? Ask it to write something else like ‘The hippo farts are smelly’

If it needs to understand whatever the fuck that language is to get that output, it either can or can’t?

Magnets clearly.

Why the fuck does this language exist lol

Give it another week and the ram for the steam machine will cost more than the whole steam machine the day it was announced.

I mean ya, that works if they know who you are.

Sorry my bad. The messages will all be converted into AI slop when you submit them so you aren’t actually communicating with someone with your own written words so you have plausible deniability that you didn’t actually write any messages using encryption which is now an offense punishable by death.

It’s because it can’t be taken down. What happens when they arrest everyone working at signal? When they arrest you for hosting a E2E encrypted message relay?

That’s where language like this is headed.

Ethereum also recently introduced something called blobs, which is temporary data that lasts around 18 days. So it isn’t necessarily stored forever if you wanted a not as permanent message. There are archives that will keep all that as well, but it’s not maintained on the regular chain past 18d.

I know this is gonna get downvoted but…

This is all going to lead to needing to use some open blockchain based communication system.

E2E encrypted, routed through a public blockchain they can’t block. Use one of Ethereums L2 systems to keep short messages under a penny or two and route all payments through Tornado Cash so they can’t be tracked.

All open source, nothing to take down, uncensorable.

It won’t be for everyone at first it would he too technical in a lot of cases, but it’s going to be the last option at the end of this road.

Decades from now when we have Speed Racer type tracks they’ll regret that.

So, I just watched the F1 movie with Brad Pitt, and the mention f2 and f3.

I only just realized, that f zero is likely meant to be the next one after 1, as in the new elite race rank.

That game was so fucking good.

Clearly their adoption of rushing out AI generated code is working well.

oh ya, i bet they’d pay a shit ton for that if available.

Most services today have user accounts so they can store your information, that way if you get a new phone for example, you can just sign into a new device and your content is there. So the maps, your configurations etc, are all sent to a remote server so it just works.

Having to manually connect to the robot each time, when you might not even be in the same country when you want to connect, doesn’t work if it’s all done locally.

Companies that want to offer connected services like this but are privacy centric could let you encrypt it before sending it so they can’t see what the contents are, but then you need to manage the idiot populace and their inability to properly secure this kind of information. Then, you start getting all sorts of support calls like I lost the encryption key and now I can’t access my map! What kind of stupid service makes me remap things when I change phones and forget something!? 1 STAR!

So there’s no really getting around sending some data back to the server, but even IF they have it unencrypted, there’s no reason other than corporate profit taking to also be using that data. They don’t have to, but they will and do.

I hadn’t really thought about how the furniture is arranged. I wonder if that’s something they sell to designers so they can then see what’s trending. Some of them don’t use cameras, but use lidar, but still getting an overall shape of things would seem useful to a designer.
