Washing machine chime scandal shows how absurd YouTube copyright abuse can get
  • From the article...

    But while many think that YouTube's system isn't great, Trendacosta also said that she "can't think of a way to build the match technology" to improve it, because "machines cannot tell context." Perhaps if YouTube's matching technology triggered a human review each time, "that might be tenable," but "they would have to hire so many more people to do it."

    That's what it comes down to, right there.

    Google needs to spend money on people, and not just rely on the AI automation, because it's obviously getting things wrong, its not judging context correctly.

    Again, its five days since you posted your comment, not a week, and its just seen by me for the first time about two hours ago.

  • The point you felt was worth making a week later

    Again, five days ago. Some people like myself stumble upon a post/comment days and days later from when its initially posted.

    is that I am free to block someone who does something I find kind of annoying?

    Yeah, for some reason people who complain about me using a license seem to keep forgetting that option, but instead just continue to complain, for some strange reason, no matter how many times I remind them of that option. Thought it was a good PSA to remind the complainers they they have alternatives to complaining.

    That seems a little extreme to me.

    If that seems extreme to you, then you need to touch grass more often.

    Extreme would be continuing to complain about something that you have the power to change, but don't change.

  • Why is the cc-by-nc-sa license disappointing? Is your disappointment exclusive to version 4.0?

    My only disappontment is with those humans (and humans who use ""humans"") who side with AI model using corporations that steal other people's content to train said models for profit, over regular everyday people.

  • What is that point?

    at the very least it’s way less annoying to see it on a website than it is under every comment

    You’re free to block those that use the license, if you find it annoying to see.

  • You’re free to reply to a week-old comment, too, but neither is a great idea

    Actually, five days, not a week.

    And also, sometimes its just about making a point, even if you stumble upon something later on. 🤷

  • what are you going to do? Sue?

    Personally? I let Creative Commons know what's going on, that their licenses are being ignored.

    I'm pretty sure they'd have something to say about the matter.

  • What is the Legal copyright on a Lemmy Post?
  • Ah well then I might try and find a license that doesn’t require attribution because I don’t care about that part.

    I would argue attribution is also really important, as it forces them to expose publicly how they're training their models, bringing awareness.

  • Has this sub turned into a training ground for AI LLM?

    How do you feel about this proposed rule passing, and how it affects you? ...

    Reporting Certain Large AI Model Training

    In an effort to secure the development and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”), the proposed rule requires U.S. IaaS providers and their foreign resellers to report known instances of foreign persons training “large AI models with potential capabilities that could be used in malicious cyber-enabled activity” to Commerce.

  • Has this sub turned into a training ground for AI LLM?
  • yeah…its just surreal. I grew up when there was no Internet at all. Now we have bots mining data from a website to get more human-like responses (and more $$). Its a strange world.

    Almost makes it useless to bother posting on online forums anymore, if you end up just wasting your time talking to an AI bot, instead of another human.

    Which is a weird way lets the 1% win. If the rest of us can't converse with each other because the 'virtual town square' becomes so polluted that meaningful conversation with other humans cannot happen.

  • Has this sub turned into a training ground for AI LLM?
  • There is a dude (or maybe more than one) that in all his comments he has an anti AI flair, or something like that,

    I wonder who they are? 😜

    For the record, I'm not the only one, nor the first one, to do it. I saw someone else do it, and decided to adopt it for myself as well. I'm aware of three people (and one large company) who are currently licensing their content here on Lemmy.

    I wonder if that would have any effect.

    One way to find out. It's an easy enough piece of text to put into your comments...

    Discord Servers asking for Phone Numbers and 'Verification Levels'

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/10799766

    (Edit: Cross-posted OP (link above) was mod removed by the Discord forum 'admin' on 2024-01-19 as being "False claim, false interpreted", so the above link will no longer work.)

    Recently read this on a Steam game's reviews section ...

    User Comment...

    > The game's Discord REQUIRES your personal phone number to get access at all. This is a very intrusive, and 100% unnecessary requirement, in order to just be able to interact with others about the game, it's content, player experiences, and many other things. It's also intrusive in regards to being able to contribute any input to help other players in any way at all.

    Dev Response...

    > It's Discord that's asking you for verification of the account. We're not getting your phone number. This is standard practice on bigger servers that allows for a better user experience, filtering bots/ spam accounts, trolls, etc.

    Could companies please STOP lying about it being Discord's choice, its not, is the Discord server's choice to ask for it.

    Its a "Verification Levels" setting that the server op sets, and they have multiple options that they can choose from, its not an on/off switch. They can dial it back one notch and still have spam/bot protections.

    The only difference between "High" and "Highest" verification levels is the addition of asking for a phone number, all other features of "High" is in "Highest", and "Highest" has no other extra features besides asking for the phone number.

    Makes it really hard to have an pseudonym account on the Internet, for gaming purposes, and then be asked for your real phone number. I don't need to be tracked 24/7.
