But that is just it. When a commercial enterprise is literally saving copyrighted content and car reproduce it on demand, copyright holders have every right to object. Either use public domain materials and/or license copyrighted materials, or don’t try to make money off AI.

I didn’t say that at all. I was responding to OP claiming they don’t memorize content at all.

Not many. And generally not book passages or whole NY Post articles. That’s the point. OP claims it tosses the original, but it doesn’t.

This process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages. The AI discards the original text, keeping only abstract representations in “vector space”.

Citation needed. I’m pretty sure LLMs have exactly reproduced copyrighted passages. And considering it can created detailed summaries of copyrighted texts, it obviously has to save more than “abstract representations.”

Which, as the article states, they are starting to end that practice.

“Modest?” $14 a month? $5 would be modest. I literally pay less for whole as streaming services.

The 787 entered service in 2011. I would not call that a very long time.

They absolutely should have produced a clean sheet 737 replacement. But cost overruns from the 787 program, competition from the much faster to develop A320neo, and worries about existing operators going A320 if they developed a new type rating stupidity scared them off.

I despise any corporate apologists and fanboys. The fact that people complain about interoperability issues tells you many reject your idea.

The way Apple is going, my next phone will probably be a FairPhone that operates Android.

Removed by mod

You can get a new android under $200. And google has their own feature to locate their phones.

There are a lot more cheap Android options. I wouldn’t want to get a kid a pricey iPhone for their first smartphone.

Arbitration clauses need to be banned, at least for regular consumer purchases.

But thanks to lobbying, that will never happen.

But at least I know never to ever buy anything from LG and Kenmore.

Didn’t say you did.

I just want you to realize there are still a ton of us struggling, regardless of what the official numbers say. For a lot of us, or pay has not caught up with inflation, and there is no sign of it happening soon. Necessities continue to go up faster than inflation. I don’t care that TVs are cheaper, I don’t need a new tv, but I do need to eat.

It is more dangerous this November than people realize.

I have and will have no children

I’ve been graduated from college for 18 years

I’ve never paid an overdraft fee in my life

I am 24 years from being Medicare eligible

I don’t think I’m that unique. Your below policies will help many, but also will not make a difference for many. Sorry I am not pleased being in a perpetual donut hole. Too poor to be comfortable, yet too “rich” to get help.

I’ve looked. I’ve seen little. But you don’t seem to have looked, since you are so confident they exist but can’t name one. Instead you just call me names and resort to ad hominem attacks.

You seem to be under the impression I am supporting Trump or something. I despise him and every Republican.

But that doesn’t mean I’m not pissed when I see prices skyrocket while my pay only goes up 2% a year.

I see little policy effort besides what was already done. What proposed policies can you inform me of?

So as long as a policy helps some people, we don’t have to try and help more?

Yes. You apparently do not. So long as some people do good, everyone else that is struggling can fuck themselves, it seems.

Well it’s a good thing no one is attempting that?

Oh, what do you call a statement like “The US economy is booming?”

You’re an outlier. Understand that you’re not the center of the universe, please.

Are you going to tell me I am the only one struggling and not seeing wage gains? Do you want to tell me my experience does not matter?

Data can absolutely be misleading. Liars, damn liars, and statisticians, as they say. And trying to produce one number that somehow represents everyone will never work, whatever economists want to think.

The fact is many of the super-poor are doing better because government benefits like social security are indexed to inflation, meaning they are actually keeping up.

Personally, my real earnings are down over $10,000 a year. My whole industry has stagnant wages. Don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining.
