the people stealing data

No one is doing this

Output doesn’t matter since it’s pretty well settled it’s not derivative work

Cool, discussion over.

I agree. For instance, it should be secured in law that you can train AI on anything, to avoid frivolous discussions like this.

Output is what should be moderated by law.

If it’s not a violation of copyright then this is a non-issue. You don’t need permission to read books.

at their expense

How?

Why do you have free reign to do the same?

AIs don’t learn as a human would, and comparisons can’t be made between the learning processes.

I think you’re going to have a hard time proving a financial distinction between them

There’s a third solution you’re overlooking.

3: OpenAI (or other) wins a judgment that AI content is not inherently a violation of copyright regardless of materials it is trained upon.

Pandas only evolutionary advantage is being adorable. It is like cows being delicious - without that, they’d simply cease to be.

Holy duck I love pandas.

Cool. I’m down with that.

No minimum parking, no height limit, no maximum FAR, no maximum unit count.

yeah get rid of these next and you’re set.

It’s gonna take a lot of work, man. The regulatory capture here is extreme.

Everyone wants to point to capitalism for this, but this is what happens when you kneecap any economic system. That’s why it’s all over the world.

Dude there is a universe worth of difference between eating at a restaurant and being asked to tip like, a good truck or some shit.

Baristas post on their social media about giving non-tippers decaf all the time.

I’m completely unaware of this, and this is stupid.

You tip people who live on tips for a living, and in places of high, but not elite, quality.

This is literally my ideal world.

You personally have sex maybe 20 times with various peers before you reach your 18th birthday.

But surely this is already the norm, yeah? Who is sexually active and has sex less than 20 times? Did you mean 20 partners?

They’re not replicating OF, their advertising their OF, and there’s nothing about twitch or these streams that explicitly advertises to children.

When you sell something to someone, you’re not exploiting them. You’ve got some terms mixed up here.

You could make similar arguments about gambling being a moral panic and they shouldn’t ban that on the site.

I mean yeah, banning gambling is weird as fuck and just creates black markets

For further clarity on why this was a funny mixup, to anyone who sees this, Plex is also a thing, but it is a very different thing, just with a very similar name.

I don’t understand how any of this is a problem. Just, like, parent your fuckin kids.

This is one step from “take the books out of libraries” level of paternalism

It’s “how little can I tip before they tamper with my food”

Normal people never, ever think this.

This is specifically about Australia, but essentially all 3 parts of this piece (and related linked essays) sum up how to solve the housing crisis worldwide.

Boils down to:

1: change zoning laws to allow more multifamily construction

2: remove incentives for homeownership and generally disincentivize single family homes

3: build for density in ways that reinforce and support density

If you want more info, basically every mainstream economist in the world agrees this is the solution, and that this is a manufactured problem. It’s a result of regulatory capture by homeowners, essentially. There are many, many papers about it.

Here’s an easily-digestible article

https://www.businessinsider.com/economist-how-to-fix-america-housing-crisis-rural-cities-2022-10

And a well-cited study in an economic journal:

https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/mje/2022/12/30/the-economics-of-the-housing-shortage/

All these sources agree, because this is the solution. Realistically, the only bad solutions are subsidizing more demand via things like rent control - these will only make our problems worse, kind of like how adding more lanes to a highway doesn’t fix traffic.

Uh… what about the people actually paying the tip? How on earth is it beneficial for the person paying more money for the level of service they should be getting regardless? How is that extra $3 more important to the server than to the person losing it?

This is the crux of the argument. You’d be paying this anyway, because servers won’t take the job for less money. No matter how you slice it, you’re spending this same amount of money.

You’re fine with some industries getting minimum wage, you just think you personally deserve more

I currently make over 6 figures and am no longer serving, because I’m nearing 40, so yes obviously some jobs are worth more than others.

I hope one day you learn to redirect your frustration to the cheap ass boss who thinks an hour of your sweat is worth $2 so he can keep the other $8

This is not how any business works, much less restaurants.
