  • It’s hard for westerners to understand honor based moral codes, but that’s exactly how it works. You can disgrace someone’s honor by doing bad things to them and it’s not really a fault thing, it’s more about protecting honor and it’s preservation a virtue.

    This is how honor killings work, it’s part of systems designed to restore individual or family honor by killing someone who is disgraced.

    There are several models of morality, not just the individualist morality models we understand intuitively.




  • You said this very well. It’s no more stealing than you looking at a piece of art and remembering details, and producing output from that input no more immoral.

    It’s clearly necessary to have the broadest possible training data in order to be useful at all. If it isn’t familiar with Spider-Man it can’t create art depicting an accurate representation of him.

    If anything I’m proud of the pioneers ignoring the legal implications and pushing forward, instead of letting copyright limit what AI understands.

    Every single picture on the Internet, ever created, unless specifically licensed Creative Commons or equivalent via licensing has an implicit copyright. AI art is impossible under international copyright framework at written, so thank God they ignored the insanity of intellectual property fuckery the US has imposed on the world.






  • You got voted down, but this is absolutely real. I speak multiple languages, but none with the nuance and clarity of context as I do English. I communicate with folks all across the world that are all English speakers, however, the variance in comprehension is so drastic that at times we’re really not using the same language, even if we’re using some of the same words.

    If you emigrate to a country, it’s a reasonable expectation that you’ll learn the language. The United States doesn’t technically have an official language, English is just de facto, but from a practical standpoint it’s absolutely occupying that role, and will in perpetuity.

    I can absolutely agree with the premise that being frustrated with language barriers isn’t racism, it’s an actual real and realized impediment to understanding.
