and I got about 2 inches of slush in the Midcoast area. Never even bothered to call the plow guy. Which is good because I’m totally not ready for winter yet. I need to get off my butt and get the shovels and sand out. arrgg.. and put on the studded snow tires (I hate the sound they make)
No one should be allowed to profit off of other people’s IP. AI is trained on and steals from other people’s work. Then people like you take it an use it to create things that you can profit from..
If I ask AI to create a comic based on the style of Georgia Dunn’s Breaking Cat News and it ‘goes viral’.. how on earth is that fair to Georgia? I have stolen her work in order to make a buck.
Yes. AI is a tool. Unfortunately a hammer can be used to build a house.. or to kill someone. It all depends on how it’s used.
The best way to prevent AI from stealing people’s IP is to quit giving it to them.
I didn’t use to think that there was anything worse than social media. But AI has changed my mind. I read an article yesterday detailing all the ways that AI is ‘transforming’ business. Everything from chat bots to content creation… one organization thrilled because they could ‘save’ $2000 a week on freelancers and just use ChatGPT.
For one.. I really want to know what ‘news source’ that is so that I make sure I never go there. But two… AI not only steals all the information that is accesses but then lies about it because it does not know what is true.
The next article I read was some HR department claiming that use of AI wasn’t actually costing people jobs… well.. I’m betting the freelancers that used to write for that first company would disagree.
I don’t HATE opera but I’ll avoid it if humanly possible. I used to work at the local public radio station. Weekends only. Every Saturday afternoon was opera. 5 hours every Saturday. I tried.. but I just never ‘got it’.
so… y’all know why the cats want to be next to us during these heatwaves right? Because their body temp is higher than ours. We are literally their personal cooling stations..
Zazzle still not showing the 2025 Calendar for me yet. Will try again tomorrow… (not on FB only Blu)
