The internet of things is truly a wonder.

Er det noen norske aviser som skriver om @noybeu anmeldelse mot #ChatGPT? Mannen i saken er jo norsk og det gjelder det norske Datatilsynet?

Probably everyone has googled his own name to see what "the Internet" knows about you.

What if you asked a chatbot about yourself and it answered with a few correct pieces of information – and it lied in your face that you murdered two of your children and spent 21 years in prison?

@noybeu is supporting a Norwegian father to help that false data removed from #ChatGPT. Actually removed, not the existing disclaimer à la "may be inaccurate" or preventing output.

What's the difference between piracy and fair use?

Piracy

• you're poor, can't pay for all the shiny movies you want to watch, the good music you want to listen, the marvelous books you want to read and not available in libraries (because Trump&Co. burnt them)
• you illegally download a couple of them
• you even didn't had the time to watch/listen/read them
  => you're a f*cking criminal, because of you, the major won't be able to make as much as billion dollars of benefits as they want: go to jail and pay a hefty fine

Fair use

• you're insanely rich, like so much billions, you can literally buy some countries
• you illegally download hundred of thousand (if not thousand of thousand) of them
• you make it plagiarism and counterfeit that you can now sell for a high price
  => you're in a fair use case because you know, you need to do it before the Chinese do it otherwise they will make billions in place of you and it wouldn't be fair: get the law being adapted to your case and get a publicly funded subsidy

Posting and pinning this because Soatok's misinformation has infected far too many. *Everyone* needs to read this in its entirety, *especially* all the #Signal Kool-Aid drinkers.

Eg testa Mastodon i 2023 og dette er forsøk nummer to. Håper å få meir grepet på plattformen denne gong, og forhåpentlegvis møte andre filminteresserte. Eg likar sjølvsagt meir enn berre film, så kjem til å følgje ein del brukara frå Noreg.
Det eg skriv på bloggen min kjem eg til å dele her. På Letterboxd : https://boxd.it/FtYR

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.
