Czech Republic for Czechia

why single it out? even the countries that use (mostly) latin alphabet don't necessary have the same name in english - Poland is Polska, Lithuania is Lietuva, Estonia is Eesti, Finland is Suomi, etc. And latinizations/romanizations are often wildly inaccurate - Ukraine is actually Ukraina, Russia is actually Rossia, and the english pronunciations are completely wrong. Japan is Nihon. etc etc.

Republic of Ireland for Ireland

there are two irelands, fyi

Türkiye

no one can type that u on a keyboard without googling and copypasting it. you might as well insist on using hieroglyphs for CJK things

bro I missed 2019 for almost six years now

when half of us say dumb shit, they're a fringe minority. when fifteen of you say dumb shit, you're all like that.

1. identify (or invent) a universally disliked or ridiculed group, no matter how few they are. 2. invent a link between them and your actual target. 3. knowingly blow them way out of proportion. 4. run an occasional two minutes hate to remind the target audience of their existence (which they can't do on their own, since there's like fifteen of them).

baby, you've got yourself a psyop going. you don't even need any elaborate false flag ops - just use the media you already control :^)

Without watermarking, there will be cries from the media about abuse (from anti-AI outfits like 404Media [2] especially).

it is highly amusing that they still believe they can put that genie back in the bottle with their usual crybully bullshit.

bro, how much did your electricity cost go up because of millions of people playing games on their 500w+ gpus? by a billion of people watching youtube? by hundreds of millions of women and children scrolling instagram and tiktok 8 hours a day?

which doesn't invalidate my point, does it? :)

I don't know where is that you live that men are so desperate and eager to commit to low-value women, but in the world I live in, men in their thirties are unmarried and/or childless by choice.

no, no, my point was neither of those things. my point was that "women past a certain age have slim chances of finding a man who would be willing to have children with them," and I don't think it's a particularly outrageous or controversial statement.

yes, there certain discrepancies between what men and women consider desirable in a partner, but we aren't really allowed to discuss this on the internet without certain folx coming out of the woods to claim that 2+2=5.

still, your claim does not invalidate my point, does it?

the deciding metric here is how old are they when they start wanting children. naturally, that factor is ignored, because it's politically incorrect to discuss it for a number of reasons.

a woman in her thirties has very slim chances to find a partner because men in their thirties have unlimited access to an unlimited number of women in their twenties. it's a harsh truth, but burying one's head in the sand doesn't really help.

Japan gets singled out all the time (the WEF types really want it to be more vibrant for some reason, so every other day, there's an article about how "Japan will not survive" without open borders), but its TFR is like 10% below most Western countries.

SK though... yeah, something is uniquely broken there.

then perhaps it would be wise to learn from the fate that befell the native population? ;)

perhaps that's a sign that >99% of the world's population does not share redditors' political views.

are those right-wing nutjobs in the room with us right now?

that's not scraping, that's web search.

their scrapers wouldn't identify themselves

that's one sympathetic judge's opinion vs written law.

I'm not American, but it's clear to me that it will be the supreme court that ultimately decides whether licensing is necessary or not. the parties involved - the megacorps with infinite money and the litigious publishers - won't settle for less.

and given that the ruling in favor of the publishers would all but kill the American AI efforts (good luck licensing millions of works needed to train a coherent model) and greatly benefit China (who doesn't give a fuck about IP), I find it highly likely that it will not happen.

do you give uninvited strangers in your home the same level of trust you give your family and friends?

silencing the opposition creates an illusion of consensus. in the deluded minds of the terminally online, it is paramount to maintain that illusion.

in every remotely political discussion here, reddit opinions are allowed to be expressed as non-constructively as you please, but all dissent, no matter how factual and constructive, gets flagged within minutes.

their consent was not required. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformative_use

petabytes of training data are transformed into mere gigabytes of model weights. no existing copyright laws are violated. until new laws declare that permission is required, this is a non-argument.

If this AI worked without training, no one would say anything.

adobe firefly was trained on licensed content, and rest assured, the anti-AI zealots don't give it a pass.

the copyright is just one of the many angles they use to decry the thing that threatens their jobs.

yes, it's obvious to anyone who paid attention in the past century, and particularly in the past ten years or so.

the oligarchs, who are the power behind the throne in every country on this planet, don't care what color the underclass is - they simply want lower wages for their peasants and higher value for their properties. the politicians and the media they own will always find a rationale to do their bidding.

if that is any consolation, no one gives a shit about xitter's ToS either. it will continue to be scrapped by every major player.

As a society, we have power if we want to use it

you have no power over China, which is what the GP implies
