Since any reductions to copyright, if they occur at all, will take a while to happen, I hope someone comes up with an opt-in limited term copyright. At max, I'd be satisfied with a 45-50 year limited copyright on everything I make, and could see going shorter under plenty of circumstances.

I wish I could get through to people who fear AI copyright infringement on this point.

Interesting. I've seen plenty of mentions of the potential use of AI in medicinal imaging, but not in a context where time is of the essence. That's a particularly compelling use case.

"Still needs to be greenlit by the FDA" - has anyone read a discussion of how the FDA is handing AI medical applications? Considering how overwrought the approval procedure can be for more mundane medical technologies, I have little hope that the process is going to be efficient and effective.

This is a great find.

There are circumstances where the precautionary principle is good to apply. But overuse of it has really bad cumulative consequences.

Yeah, for a ballot with multiple candidates, I would prefer this approach. Ranked Choice Voting is the name that I’ve most often heard it referred to by advocates who want to adopt it in the US.

Seems like the only difference between this and what the OP is describing is whether every candidate has to be ranked, or just as many as you want to.

Not a stupid question at all - the way you do it isn’t intuitive, and I hope gets made easier with further software developments. In the search bar near your username at the upper right enter, communityname@instancename, for ex. newcommunities@lemmy.world, and if it’s working right the version of the community that’s synced to kbin will show up. Catch is that right now it randomly seems to glitch, and fail or return nothing, so if doesn’t work at first you’ll just have to try again later. I’m sure the people running the site are aware of the issue and trying to get it sorted out, for now it’s one of the things to put up with a platform that basically started last month.

You could even do an image with a QR code to the kbin or lemmy address.

I agree with much of what other commentators have been saying. Discouraged I’m on board with, I think having a strict rule is premature in a new community that’s small in scale - we can afford to wait and see how conversations play out and reevaluate later. Civility is the principle that’s important.

I had a feeling that the silence over the last few days was a sign that a huge amount of work was happening behind the scenes. I also think you’re doing an excellent job of communicating with us. Thank you for all your effort that’s allowed this community to grow.

 

I’ve been following the development of the next Stable Diffusion model, and I’ve seen this approach mentioned.

Seems like this is a way in which AI training is analogous to human learning - we learn quite a lot from fiction, games, simulations and apply this to the real world. I’m sure the same pitfalls apply as well.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Discovery is difficult right now, advertising in places that are genuinely relevant is a real service.

 

This is the potential development in AI I'm most interested in. So naturally, I tested this when I first used ChatGPT. In classic ChatGPT fashion, when asked to make a directed acyclic graph representing cause and effect, it could interpret that well enough to make a simple graph...but got the cause and effect flow for something as simple as lighting a fire. Haven't tried it again with ChatGPT-4 though.

 

Like most who’ve joined kbin or lemmy, I’m actively looking for more communities to subscribe to. We don’t have a way to do a centralized search for these across instances yet, so I’m sure there’s some I’ve overlooked. What smaller technology related groups have you discovered that could use more publicity?

So far, I like the spirit of Actually Useful AI - auai@programming.dev: “Not allowed - anything else the mods consider “crypto bro”/“AI bro” success porn sigma grindset blogspam” 😆.
Aside from AI, I’d be interested in finding active communities that focus on web development.

 

Right now, the search capabilities we have for findings magazines aren’t great, and aren’t usually going to show communities on similar topics across instances. If people make lists of related communities and posted them here, I think it would help people find communities they are searching for.

 

Dreamy, sultry folk/alternative hybrid. A excellent recent band that seems to have fallen through the cracks of people’s attention.

 

The ‘Cha Jiu Lun’, A Debate Between Tea and Wine

If you’ve heard of an old Chinese text concerning tea, it’s probably Lu Yu’s The Classic of Tea. This debate amusing and short, and a reminder that tea drinking was once a new custom in China, too.
