That is an interesting idea. It would be neigh impossible because there is already so much accounting tech to hide or distort profit though.

You believe it's important to not subvention AI for a while? It is a fundamental issue because if you can undercut labor costs for a while and get people fired you make businesses dependent on the AI that replaced that labor and then can raise costs again. Obviously that doesn't even really work and businesses are shooting themselves in the foot right now, but it doesn't stop them from trying.

In China a court just ruled that firms can't lay off workers based on AI. A law like that would severely slow down the adoption rate and expansion of AI.

    You can also set a LLMs to completely rewriting code snippets from scratch to perform the same function, writing and fulfilling the same unit tests. Not just rewrite in a different language or changing variable names. Basically the transformative abilities of LLMs can make copyright obsolete.

    Not true, this does not occur frequently. This study and software LiCoEval from 2024 found 0.88% to 2.01% of code "strikingly similar to existing open-source implementations". Afaik this is mostly textbook examples, snippets from stack overflow snippets or common github repositories, often replicated api examples and language boilerplate. How you prompt and refine also matters, and for generating novel code or business logic the LLM simply cannot use memorized snippets.

    Presumably since then LLMs have worked to reduce that number of memorized code. Since LLMs cannot memorize all their training data, that number is limited. LiCoEval can find the often memorized examples and train to remove them, or suppress them, or they find other ways to reduce direct reproduction from memorization. For example it would be possible to do what malus.sh does with all the training data. Then it cannot memorize copyrighted code.

    So for a model that came out 2026 this already small number might not be that relevant anymore.

    Regulation frequently favor large corporations by increasing cost of entry. They will definitely want to ban or tax local open source models. So that they can collect rent forever.

    What is worse is that I haven't really read a list of demands for regulation from the AI haters.

    The lesson here is that US university diploma is worth as much as toilet paper. They have a profit motive to not expel cheating students. EU countries should stop accepting US diplomas as legally valid.

    They do not even care to test students properly - how can they even use AI? Why not let the write the answers to a midterm on paper in a supervised hall? Or some kind of secure computing environment Seriously what is going on lol. They aren't being tested at all really.

    Corpos aren't loosing, they are growing in power with rising wealth inequality. Money is power. Think of every dollar they have at their disposal as a tiny little soldier running around and whispering in people's ears. They are backed by itty bitty generals who are the smartest people on the planet, paid the highest wages to come up with the best most foolprofest brainwash / propaganda / public relation / talking points / advertising imaginable to manipulate people. You think you have a chance against that??? Is this fucking Sparta, three hundred vs one billion?

    Even more money can be poured into elections now. You don't even have time to protest because you don't have the money. Any they long figured out how to game protests to make them harmless anyway.

    Look at how the dems gamed the system to prevent a Sanders presidency. Not even a lukewarm social democrat could they allow against Trump. And Obama, the corporatist of dem all is still being worshiped. Every time I see posts blaming this small faction or the other for the second Trump presidency I cringe. It's like you're in a prison for your mind. The election shouldn't even have been close. No, Trump should have been in jail. Put the blame where it fucking belongs.

    YOU DO NOT LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY. People do not even know what is real and what isn't any more. The only good thing is that their laws and state violence are illegitimate, and you are under no moral obligation to follow them anymore, except self preservation. Zeroth law of robotics is in full effect. Civil disobedience or whatever. Organize locally and offline.

    PS: Sorry for the rant. Sucks to live in interesting times.

    Why would you think .ml users would be uncritical to China? We just like our western imperialism balanced by eastern imperialism, thank you.

    Perfectly balanced. As all things should be. To much to one side... or the other...

    Why are people posting these lies? This is propaganda from a rapist and human trafficker.

    Have you learned nothing from Trump lol. Acting outraged about shit like this is only helping them. Now we're talking about prisoners being mistreated lol.
