@MerrittBaer The regular pre-check line appears to be twice as fast as the clear line

CLEAR failure at Logan. Why do we pay for lines like this? ⁦@Clear⁩

[John Treadway @cloudbzz]

@elonmusk Sure, blame the Jews. Like that's never happened before.

So they made you overpay? They fired all of the content mod teams which led to increased hate speech? Which led to advertiser bleed? Yup it's all the jews. I see it now. #Antisemitism

@stephenolmon @jspujji Nobody will be having sex then anyway so…

[John Treadway @cloudbzz]

@jspujji Government interference in a human’s right to make decisions regarding their own body (sexuality, reproductive, etc.).

@svpino So this reads a bit like a Typefully advertorial.

@garitweets OMG this got a like by a company first

[John Treadway @cloudbzz]

@garitweets A few days ago when reminiscing about my first “cloud” which was a time-shared mainframe accessed via acoustic coupler at 150 baud (then 300 baud). Nixon was in office and I was in 5th grade… learning BASIC.

Yes! Bundling Teams with Office is a clear anti-competitive violation and abuse of monopoly power. Teams competes with Zoom etc (communications) and Slack (collaboration, though poorly). The EU irks me most of the time, but this I support. https://t.co/tgPQCqQj4R

I have a new rule. If someone I follow starts charging to follow them for some exclusive content I will unfollow them completely. That means you @quinnypig

Who has the best training and enablement offerings for generative AI (e.g. ChatGPT, etc.)? This would be for end users, not developers. #training #ai #chatgpt

@PaulDJohnston @swardley If you have access to @BusinessInsider , this article is a pretty good view on what the current and possible future state of copyright vs. AI could be. https://t.co/vUV7c168Xu

[John Treadway @cloudbzz]

@PaulDJohnston @swardley No insult intended. The wildcard is that they tend to change the game (globally) at some point as you pointed out. There is a clear regulatory philosophy distinction between US and EU. IMO the heavy hand of the EU is not all bad, but definitely stifles innovation. Again, IMO.

[John Treadway @cloudbzz]

@PaulDJohnston @swardley Of course this is what I read/heard/studied from the cheap seats here in the States and in my trips across the pond.

Now back to generative AI and copyrights - time will tell but I hope that the EU treads carefully lest we throw out the baby with the bath water…

[John Treadway @cloudbzz]

@PaulDJohnston @swardley UK left in part due to EU parliamentary infringement on member states’ sovereignty (in addition to immigration, etc.). Probably a bad decision but perceived regulatory overreach from Strasbourg / Brussels was often cited as a factor.

[John Treadway @cloudbzz]

@PaulDJohnston @swardley And... We shall see but there are lots of unresolved issues in this new world.

[John Treadway @cloudbzz]

@PaulDJohnston @swardley Right to be forgotten is a completely different thought and I’ve already agreed that it’s a problem.

A creator’s style is not copyrightable (in the US at least), so it doesn’t matter if it’s a machine or person copying their style.

[John Treadway @cloudbzz]

@PaulDJohnston @swardley I understand, but case law is very clear that copying someone’s style is not infringement until elements of their work is reused. If ChatGPT spits out recognizably plagiarized passages from a book as its own - gotcha. If the style of writing is similar, no gotcha.

[John Treadway @cloudbzz]

@PaulDJohnston @swardley Every bit of information that they are training these engines on is either publicly available, or licensed to them. They are not stealing anything.

[John Treadway @cloudbzz]

@PaulDJohnston @swardley I actually don’t see any difference. Go to any museum and see the young art students literally copying works that are on the walls. They are training on the techniques of the masters.
