When he got kicked out by the board I was quite happy, literally “omg they’re actually going to follow their principles” but then nope. Apparently nobody in the company could see it for what it was and people outside didn’t want their “chatbot to go away!”

You clearly don’t understand how (lots of sophisticated) AI art is made. At what point does the generative capabilities in Photoshop (which you can give prompts to) become not controlling the output? At which point does control net (which literally allows you to pose models and replace every single thing about a scene along with numerous other features) become “controlling the output”.

“All decisions have to be controlled by the artist” isn’t how art works either. See any sort of public art, or even the paintings you make by literally just pouring paint on a canvas or hanging a bucket of paint by a string and having it move across a canvas and drip.

Recent science has shown what they say to not be true. PTFE can even off gas without being under heat at all. And even if it was true, you’re still increasing demand for something that causes an insane amount of environmental damage and the factories do cause a significant amount of PFAS to get into everyone’s bodies.

That’s not the case at all, though it’s very often believed to be and stated as such on here and Reddit.

Your logic literally applies the exact same to ai generated art. It’s quite clear you haven’t even tried it if you think that the artists are just asking for an entire image and then saying “all right. I’m all done here”.

Listen. I don’t think ai art should have a copyright either, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the logic you’re coming up with. Control net (or even just basic Adobe Photoshop now) allows anyone to do exactly what you are saying a “real” artist does.

A power supply is not a car battery. Either it wasn’t a car battery or it was fake. Literally go try it yourself. I’m not joking. Car batteries you literally can’t even feel if you bridge the terminals. There’s plenty on YouTube if you don’t believe me and choose to believe some random Reddit vid.

It doesn’t really matter if they do take your phone in the end anyway. If it’s that clear cut illegal then anything they manufacture as evidence wouldn’t be admissible in court…no matter what.

You’re talking about during CI. Not during the actual coding process. You’re not signing code while you’re debugging.

You’re literally using a service there that isn’t the case for.

If there is a blue streak in the upper left, it’s because Pollock wanted a blue streak in the upper left.

Your words.

It’s not a joke. Though you can feel free to keep making jokes, but seriously, think of a 9v battery and putting your tongue on it. A car battery is barely one more AA battery on top of that.

You got cheap ones. And like bottom of the barrel cheap. I have ones from Home Depot and that has never happened. What has happened is that the internal strings have a lot more friction on them and they have snapped, rendering the entire thing broken. But of course I got the cheapest ones from Home Depot too.

12 volts is nothing. You can bridge a car battery with your fingers and nothing happens.

In general these art pieces are not created simply with words. Users control the output using ControlNet which allows drawing on the image to force regeneration only to specific areas. It seems that if your only logic around it being non-copyrightable is due to them using words and that the program “does it all”, but that’s just not how it works.

I’m not in favor of copyrights for stuff like this, but you have a terrible misunderstanding of how these art pieces are created and it’s affecting your argument negatively.

Your first paragraph is just nonsense. Please go try to swing a paintbrush and get every drop exactly where you want. It’s not possible. It’s literally why pollock painted that way.

I don’t have snippets set up for languages I’ve never touched before.

But copilot sucks. ChatGPT went super downhill. Claude is alright. If I know the language then it’s not that helpful. But if I don’t, or I don’t know the algorithm, then yeah, it’s super helpful.

you don’t code sign during development…

They already have your photo for your passport or license and they don’t need permission to take video or photos in an airport at all.

In January 2023, they published the initial results of their work, an enormous collection of web vulnerabilities affecting Kia, Honda, Infiniti, Nissan, Acura, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Genesis, BMW, Rolls Royce, and Ferrari—all of which they had reported to the automakers. For at least half a dozen of those companies, the web bugs the group found offered at least some level of control of cars’ connected features, they wrote, just as in their latest Kia hack. Others, they say, allowed unauthorized access to data or the companies’ internal applications. Still others targeted fleet management software for emergency vehicles and could have even prevented those vehicles from starting, they believe—though they didn’t have the means to safely test out that potentially dangerous trick

So not just Kia then.
