Now show the atrocities made by the JDF and decide if this is a terrorist organization or not

Probably Google just wants to block them not because they care about the creators but because it’s costing them bandwidth money.

From the new agreement that they had with warner bros for creating closed captions, it looks like Google is also stealing the subs for training, they had direct access

It just sucks that someone pays hundreds of dollars to have a human create subs for a show, then that is used without credit or permission for training a model (actually whisper accidentally credits moments of silence with the name of the subbing groups used for training)

I like to use it on my 4k monitor, the super tiny buttons make me super nostalgic

It was never Foss

It’s now source available

Stealing, without the quotation marks. If you copy something and profit off it without crediting, compensating or asking permission to who paid for it, it’s stealing. We can’t downplay it as “but they just downloaded 700k hours of videos and 200k pirated books for training a simple model that they’re charging users $20 a month, what’s the issue”

If you copy something for personal enjoyment without profiting from it, then it’s not stealing.

They could ask help from their north Korean buddies

I feel it’s just a side effect of them trying to block ai companies stealing large amounts of videos for training models. They see too many downloads from a datacenter IP address and require user login to continue

Openai’s whisper often recognizes mangled words as “please like and subscribe” so they’re actively stealing videos and their subs (the manually created ones by companies like “caption+ by js”, which creators paid hundreds of dollars to make, not the free ones made by Google automatic transcriber or whisper itself) to improve their models so they can make profit

Not only invidious I guess, they want the user to login when too many videos has been watched on an IP address. So also web browsers on a VPN for example

Israel is sowing the seeds of revenge in the Palestinian population.

The list of desperate persons that don’t have anything to lose anymore is growing rapidly

Technically, it still is illegal to sell electronics without CE certification

Although a headline like “3 cubic meters of worthless famiclones have been seized” isn’t as strong

a figure which includes the value of the consoles and hundreds of licenses for the pirated programs.

So it’s just 12k consoles with 4000 pirated ROMs inside

Actual value is €300k, not 50 millions

Not having a certification doesn’t mean it’s not compliant.

It’s probably compliant, but they didn’t want to pay €50k to get it certified

No matter on which country the iot device it’s made, giving internet access to them in military bases is madness. IOT must be on a separate VLAN without any internet access. No exceptions, they’re usually running buggy firmware based on ancient Linux versions and no updates are ever released or installed. They’re exploitable time bombs

Wow this is art

Have no diplomatic or economic ties with Venezuela

What can be done more? They are already under embargo, the economy is fucked, the average wage is almost a tenth of what people get in neighboring countries and 20% of the population fled the country

Maduro is going to “win” elections until he dies, he can do whatever he wants. He even moved Christmas to October 1st this year, to show the population that he has absolute power

They just hate the fact that there’s a group of foreigners enjoy their free time.

Start to play soccer, you’ll see how their brain will short circuit because they can’t ban their favorite sport

ah, good to know

It’s the same for the United States and their secret no fly list

Watched that company. They make cheap ad filled copycat games. They can’t be bothered to spend one day on filtering the words from the free dictionary that they used. Same for the support email, they are too busy counting the ad money, there’s nobody reading them

You call the restaurant and explain the reason, they would be super happy to mark as cancelled on Yelp, but still keep booked on their system: Yelp is not giving this service for free, but they charge a lot of money on each single reservation.

And hopefully realize to stop offering the service at all
