"you own the outputs..." That's not even the case. No one "owns" the output. Raw generative AI outputs don't come with any new (copy)rights, which are currently only granted to human creative outputs.

On a side note, I wish Doctorow would stop listing URLs in the middle of his articles, instead of using descriptive text with a URL anchor. My screen reader always reads them in full ("H T T P S colon slash slash..."), which is ve

That's not what I said. The concern is not about "answering questions" about original works. That would probably be acceptable at any scale. It is whether the approach foreseeably results in the creation of market substitutes

This goes back to the original purpose of copyright, which is to serve as an economic incentive for individual creators and artists to make more art, by securing exclusive rights to use their own works commercially for a specified time. The

It would hardly make a dent. And if you hired hundreds of savants, the knowledge would still be spread over hundreds of separate minds. And even if we grant that those savants are also very skilled at creating "market substitutes"

There's a huge difference in scale. The human mind can only process a limited portion of all works available over a lifetime. Human learning is therefore naturally limited to small-scale reuse, which serves to keep it proportional. A m

Wouldn't the proverbial reasonable person jump out of the way of a vehicle that's already nearly on the verge of colliding with them? Pulling out a gun seems to be the less instinctual thing to do in such a situation. I also wonde

For the record, I totally agree that you should have this ability. But they are likely orienting themselves with GDPR and similar laws around the world, under which data exports and portability only include your own data, and specifically e

I wonder how they'd handle this under the GDPR, which has an explicit "Right to rectification". The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal

Raffles are meant to increase engagement and participation, and getting conference participants to interact with prize sponsors and remain until the closing remarks. If employers started to demand that any prizes won be considered property

I welcome the initiative. At the same time, there probably needs to be some kind of "freedom of panorama" exception to take and use pictures where someone's likeness just happens to be featured incidentally/in the backgr

Seems odd that it's not being sold off. Was it truly that worthless? It was also a great way to read paywalled articles for free.

Airlines have hugely benefited from moving travelers from paper tickets to the use of their phones, where everything is done in the airline's app. Even if a few flights get turned around now and then, that seems trivial compared to the

That's true, but those safeguards can be disabled. ChatGPT on Azure for example, allows Azure account managers to disable filters/safeguards depending on the customer. Given that this product is apparently used to give people with

That's actually quite clever in a devious way: by giving app developers the control over blocking sideloading, Google essentially sidesteps the requirement to be fully open. They can now just point to the developers: it's them, no
