For many Romans it was less effort than Roman gods required. There were some other benefits but really it was Constantine that got Christianity from a million followers to the dominant religion of the Mediterranean and Europe. Then shortly after that the church got power hungry and the really bad stuff started happening and no one on the outside was safe. About 400 years give or take.
That is a modern scenario where picking one's religion may not result in death. Go back just a little over 100 years and you're going to run into relgion not being an option one gets to make their own decisions about.
But then I'd ask how do you outlaw human systematic consumption of information. The camera on my car cant watch 24/7, then why should YOU be allowed to watch 24/7? What you're outlawing is the literal methodology.
This has always been an issue with my thoughts on AI. If the computer became sentient does the LLM learning rule go out the window? or is it because they are made of metal?
I feel like they need a test case to figure out how to define derivative work when the creator is not human.
If i make a painting and you see it and then make one in a similar style it would be considered derivative and not a violation. In your head is a distillation of my image. It doesn't contain the image and your output would be lossy. Similarly the LLM contains statistics and not verbatim content. So the question is "how is human synthesis different than AI synthesis."
Until that is resolved a class action would probably fall apart. Individual damages would need to be determined and even a single example of "you put your stuff out to the public and aren't going aftet Joe who made derivative work..." would derail the case.
You would think that but we did have a few tens of millions of people vote for someone who said he was going to fuck up the economy and now these people are all asking what the hell happened.
Maybe we should stop assuming and start calling a spade a spade.
Your examples listed above are skipping the part they are taking issue with, "becoming a billionaire." The problem isn't that it's emotive language, its that you don't care to focus on the portion they want to focus on.
To become a billionaire you make the vast majority of your money off the backs of other people. Some do it via markets, investment, buying and selling companies and all other things "capitalism." There are others that do it through actual slavery and other extremely abusive methods. But no billionaires do the work themselves to make this money. And all billionaires could give more back to those doing the actual work, relishing themselves mere millionaires and still never have to worry about money.
Maybe we should be acknowledging when a billionaire does a good thing but not ignore the fact that they are just giving away other's hard work. Maybe the only real good act a billionaire can do is not be a billionaire.
It is kind of funny. Trump has been notorious at picking the most incompetent political allies. It almost feels unreal that he could pick so many cabinet members that fail at literally everything they do. But then he goes and picks his SCOTUS appointees and all they have to do is not do their job and he wins.
If the pause becomes permanent we are now in a situation where the courts have set precedent allowing the Trump administration to deport anyone without due process. At that point I don't think anyone is safe. Doesn't matter how many generations of citizens you come from the court has said you can be kicked out and no call for following the law will be heard.
This is going to be the test of Trump and Co's power. We will be in some crazy dictatorship with judicial backing. At that point i doubt Congress will do anything to stop this.
The idea would be that the Gov renegotiates the loan, pays off some portion of the interest to make sure that all of us have money in savings expecting return to get it, and then the home owners would get a more reasonable rate. The government would also have to tell all the bank shareholders to take a long walk off a short pier. Oh and jail the C-level
The problem though was that many of the people taking on those horrible rates were people or properties that were bad investments. And the government never really cares enough to punish white collar crimes even they are industry wide like this. Look at Wells Fargo. They full on committed fraud, signing people up for accounts without their knowledge and no one went to jail. If you or I did that for one individual its a felony. But if you're the bank itself its no big deal. WF should have been broken up and sold off and a bunch of people should be living in a cell.
They aren't the same thing so the comparison is weird.
endl has a flush which is important when doing something like embedded work or RTOS development. If i was doing multiple lines they all were \n until the last line when i actually want to push the buffer.
Obviously depending on the tuning of the compiler's optimization multiple flushes could be reduced but the goal should always be to write as optimal as possible.
It's pretty cut and dry. Most if not all states would not even put him on the ballot and the right would have to fight to explain why this doesn't say exactly what it says.
It is the mechanism by which you get normal people to fund and promote horrible acts. How else could you get your grandmother to pay for hiding pedophiles from the law?
Sadly i don't think that will happen unless there is a substantial degradation of the quality of life in red states. The failure and the cause needs to be so mind numbingly apparently to even the most entrenched Trump supporter that they actually force their representative to join in on real reform. Unfortunately if we do have another election and control switches it's most likely going to still have 40% or more of the voting population have political blindness. Farmers will lose their farms and still vote Republican.
