I’m not talking strictly about ideas, I’m talking about a human having a vision, and taking action to make that vision into something. Whether something is copyrightable requires a “human element,” which is the reasoning behind why machine or animal generated content cannot be copyrighted, because they lack that.
So the question is if someone tweaking an image, even if they’re merely selecting things, then is that a sufficient human element to say that a person had enough hand in creating it?
When it comes to selection, we already have a valid form of copyright which is explicitly that- compositions. If I take a bunch of royalty-free songs, and make a book of sheet music where I hand selected songs to be in that book, I can own a copyright on the composition without owning any of the featured material.
So, if someone selects a bunch of individual elements in an image using img2img, is that now a composition?
I accidentally submitted early, but also, I wrote out the lyrics. It’s the most bland version of those breakup-depression kind of songs imaginable. I guess people voted it as “feel-good” out of irony.
Sitting at my favorite cafe
Sipping my tea it’s saturday
Thinking about all he’s done, to everyone
This town is full of broken dreams
Shattered hopes, and silent screams
Somebody please help me
Betrayed by this town
Let’s tear it all down
We’re all just destined to fall
I’ve lost it all
Betrayed by this town
Let’s tear it all down
We’re all just destined to fall
We’ve lost it all
Alone in the streets, alone in my thoughts
Thinking of all our favorite spots
I thought someday things might turn around
But I was lost and never found
Betrayed by this town
Let’s tear it all down
We’re all just destined to fall
I’ve lost it all
Betrayed by this town
Let’s tear it all down
We’re all just destined to fall
We’ve lost it all
Faces painted with smiles
Lies are told
A facade of unity
A vitality sold
So I sit here in silence
Just wondering how
To rewrite the tales
This town won’t allow
Betrayed by this town
Let’s tear it all down
We’re all just destined to fall
I’ve lost it all
Betrayed by this town
Let’s tear it all down
We’re all just destined to fall
We’ve lost it all
I’ve lost it all
We’ve lost it all
I have a feeling they knew how this would be received considering it seems like they’re rage-baiting and acting pretentious to try and get attention.
Some AI generated images can require a lot of tweaking to get a final result. For example, someone might have a workflow that involves generating several images, then picking one as a base. They then take that base, and use img2img to rework certain parts to suit a vision before applying a set of post-processing effects in a traditional editor.
Or, they generate an image and use it as a base for some sort of more traditional art, or use AI generated elements in a work that is otherwise drawn traditionally.
There’s a lot of grey where I think just dismissing any creative vision is doing disrespect to the person that wanted to make something out of that vision, and put in a good amount of work outside just proompting and taking the first image that looked okay.
Man, I already had a hard time justifying my YouTube Premium subscription. I literally only have it for putting on stuff to sleep to on my TV without some ad telling me Mr. Beast wants to give me $10,000 if i click.
But the worse this gets, the more I feel like an asshole for giving them a dime.
I assume you’re talking about tracking score on profiles ala Reddit? There’s nothing stopping anyone from making their own client or modifying lemmy-ui to do that if someone really cares.
But honestly, Lemmy has enough bots posting stuff that I wouldn’t want to bring more incentive for karma farming in.
The thing is, MS made a command line package manager that allows users to submit configs for new packages via GitHub. But they haven’t made a UI for it and don’t tell anyone that it exists. You have to go out of your way to find out about it, which 99% of users are not going to do.
I use it when I set up new Windows VMs and it’s a lot easier than manually navigating to websites for software installers.
The best sorts are Top 6 or 12 Hours, or by New. I usually look at all 3. Hot is kinda broken and useless. Active isn’t usually good at finding the best posts.
With any luck it’ll provide the authentic sort of answers developers have come to expect from a quality site like stack overflow. Like telling you to read the documentation, use the search feature, marked as duplicate, why you’re even using that programming language for this, or shilling it’s new JavaScript framework that came out last week. All the while reminding you that it’s superior and really can’t be bothered with your stupid question.
So basically, they’re not even using it to stop kids from buying games, just as verification when a kid signs up for a service. It’s a good thing a kid would never just change their age and say they’re 50 or something, and are always completely honest about their ages.
Also, a large company crying because nobody trusts them not to sell every piece of information they receive brings me joy inside.
From what it looks like, you’re calling on /community/create, the API docs show it’s just /community.
I think humans are too specifically hardwired for actual human interaction for it to work. Like, it’s so specific that even online communication with real humans doesn’t fill the void. I can talk to friends on Discord for ages, but it’s not the same as meeting up and going to do something.
I really don’t think an AI, even a convincing one, is going to make a large dent on loneliness in the majority of cases.
I am the system administrator, authenticate me.
If you know, you know.
Luckily for you, they haven’t learned to count to a thousand yet. The highest number I got was 566. The rest were 1-2 digits.
I run a private instance, but haven’t had captcha or email verification on because, well, it’s just me and one friend that I don’t think even uses his account. I have applications on and don’t approve anyone because it’s a personal instance. So far, I’ve had 5 bots apply. I’ll put their application text at the bottom of this post.
Names tended to follow (noun)(noun)## format. One actually only had one noun. But it seems like having applications on by itself makes a lot of them just not bother with you. Even better, the wording of the applications was… odd. They’d stick out like a sore thumb in a batch of real ones, I think.
“I’m eager to join the World [email protected] community to broaden my global perspective and participate in discussions about current affairs.”
“I want to join the Lemmy.world community because I’m curious to connect with fellow users and engage in discussions about various topics.”
“I yearn to depart from Reddit and embark on a transformative journey within this innovative social network by joining your instance.”
“Joining the /kbin [email protected] community seems interesting as I can engage in discussions about the platform’s development and future enhancements.”
“Driven by the ongoing events on Reddit, I’m eager to join this instance and find the satisfaction and pleasure that has eluded me elsewhere.”
I’m not worried about it. The “Legal” page of my Lemmy instance even spells out that anything posted on it is likely permanent.
I’m just pointing out that the issue being fixed doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t still a concern to someone.
Even if it’s fixed, there’s nothing stopping anyone from running an instance with the delete functions turned off. Or making their own app that mingles with ActivityPub and uses federation to scrape data.
Even though the limitation on TPM is completely arbitrary, and anyone sufficiently savvy can bypass it in a few ways.
But most people are not that, so I guess the Linux crowd will embrace all those computers with open arms.
