I am perhaps more familiar with the way textual output is generated, but I'm not sure it matters very much. There are two theories or ways that copyright is infringed by AI, both implicating the reproduction right. First, training a model almost inevitably requires making a copy of a work to feed it to the network. And, in many cases, the AI companies admit using pirated copies of works for training purposes. The second is the output of the network, which may be substantially similar to the original work on which it was trained, thus infringing the reproduction right. That is, it looks like say, Mickey Mouse, instead of some temu version. I'm guessing Disney's license gave them the right to train on Disney content and also to return substantially similar results to Disney works. So you can prompt it to do "Mickey cornholing Minnie" and get it. You can make a sort of metaphysical argument that somewhere between input and output, at least partial images or text fragments that may be infringing (substantially similar to a training input) are used as the pattern that is recognized, but that's getting pretty abstract and is probably likely to be found "transformative fair use." So, license or otherwise remove those infringing aspects of AI, and there's no copyright infringement. If there's some other theory, I'm interested to hear it.

He had a good run of "Oh THAT guy is in this" movies in the mid to late 90's. Pulp Fiction, The Mask, Usual Suspects, Blue Streak Turns out he was around 30 when filming those, but looked 45.

No doubt. They loved Palin because "she's one of us." Trump exploited that after correctly identifying them as suckers. This is why so many of our fellow Americans are experiencing Trumpism.

Weβve got an employee whoβs from the valley. Everyone he knows is Trump. Itβs unthinkable to be anyone else. Which is not how the alley was even 10 years ago. Machismo >> Everything

Okay, the story is just getting more confusing. Recent allegations: When Shivers stopped seeing Moore, he tried to fire her or, in fact, fired her, and then began stalking her. Shivers then went to the AD and showed him all the tea. (Text messages, etc) AD then fired Moore and Moore then went to Shiverβs apartment. Chaos ensues. I want to address the firing in another post, because it reminds me of another infamous incident. It is interesting that she will potentially sue the university and make off w millions considering she also violated policy. (Yes, I understand that she is considered a victim due to the power imbalance.)

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Lidig8r replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Football
So, just out of curiosity, I had our Ai Overlords check the total buy outs for 12 schools whose head coaches were fired or otherwise no longer with their team: UCLA, Oregon State, Meatchicken, Meatchicken State, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Florida, Albarn, Kentucky, Oglaucoma State, Arkansas, LSU ... the number came to approximately 1/4 of ONE BILLION DOLLARS. That's right ... about $250 MILLION! Ah yes... higher education. Let's pay that amount for incompetence or corruption. -
I know multiple MDs that pursued engineering degrees at UT. Two orthopedic surgeons, one a urologist. Both think it's excellent preparation for a doctor as the practice of evidence-based and other aspects of medicine line up pretty well with engineering analysis and thought. Chem E tends to line up best with the premed requirements, but probably the newer biomedical degrees also. Guess it depends on the school. It is, however, a pretty brutal way to do premed. Also, it's my opinion that a kid that's not actually interested in some type of engineering probably isn't going to like it or do well, no matter how good their math/science aptitude. By that I mean has some demonstrated curiosity as to how things work, how they're made, etc.

Same for us as kids. Needs a better name but βTackle the Guy With the Ballβ doesnβt exactly roll out.

When we started playing this and calling it stq in our neighborhood around d the time I turned 6 or 7 we didn't even know what "gay" was. But i understand why it's frowned upon now. I definitely don't think Bijan had any ill intent but it would be a stupid hill to die on.

Nope, that's all your butthole needs.

Exactly like that lol
