They wouldn't be paying for the content, just the bandwidth. Like buying a linux OS on a CD ROM was about the cost of media not profiting off of the software.
I'd have a lot less of a problem with AI if everything that went into their training was public domain and made easily available to anyone for any use. It'd feel less like AI companies were just stealing the work of others and charging for it.
* If you train AI on it, you have to afford public access to it.
* Nobody can exact violence against anybody else in response to that person providing public access to any data anymore (ie, all bytestrings are public domain).
That's the world I'd like to try in the coming years.
I call BS on that, it's been 6 months since Opus 4.6 and we still do not see a revolutionary software release or a major increase in quality. At least we see some security bugs being finally fixed.
Davinci oficially supports Linux but in the worst way possible - "it kinda works if you hack around it, we haven't bothered"
There is no official Ubuntu or current RHEL support and you have to mess with libraries and stuff to make it kinda work. No proper window decoderations either
An anonymous group of devs should host the source on Radicle (over Tor) and the app itself on an onion site. Bonus, it may discourage some scrapers who can’t be bothered with setting up a Tor gateway.
If the operators are in the US, they probably don't want to risk it if they were anything less than very careful in not having their personal info attached to any of the data.
I've always found it baffling that more projects by folks that disagree with copyright, access controls, etc aren't hosted in places where the cease and desist won't work.
It's like, you're doing something to annoy a large company with lots of legal resources, and you host everything in the US? Why?
Because the US is the center of the tech world. The default AWS region is in the us. All large tech companies are in the us. If you use any cloud provider the default and cheapest region is in the us and so on. Everything tech is in English and the largest English speaking country is the us.
