In the US some states have laws stating that recording conversations is not legal unless both parties consent.

I think that is silly but here we are.

Does that mean I get my call recording function back? Or is listening in on calls only for our corporate overlords?

But then again, this will probably be as well implemented as Bixby.

No no, you can pay xitter to be able to do all that.

Twitter now has the same with former employees after the purge.

I would imagine the difference is that all our laws assume a human being with all its flaws and limitations. The Savant with perfect memory etc etc is an edge case.

AI seems to industrialize something human practice long and hard for.

Doesn’t the AI copy and store the authors work internally and then have the AI software do its work? Then at the core are copied works that where never licensed for this.

Or, you either:

• calculate this in and possibly divert workforce during the outage.
• Arrange your business critical processes to be able to contunie for a duration “stand alone”.

Good, secure and reliable IT is difficult to setup and maintain. SaaS has a definitive role but one has to be wary of the risks.

And a hefty price jump to boot. Microsoft wins on all fronts.

I see your point, but people also kind of look for controversy, and a real person to worship and fawn over.

Would be interesting if the models where indeed trained on works that where not obtained legally.

Also most works contain a notice that it cannot be reproduced without consent, and storing its content in your database seems reproduction.

What an interesting time this will be for lawyers, not to mention licerative.

And you do the double standard so well.

“Exactly the same thing”. Right.

What a weird argument to make. Noone needed to suggest closing off social media in China as it is already an established form of control and surveillance for the state.

And the whataboutism regarding the draconian laws in France don’t change that.

Both can be wrong for completely different reasons. And I reject the false equivalence you are trying to make.

But we seem to have strayed far from Japanese creators switching to weibo and the possible risks that this could bring the creators. As I said before, I hope it brings them nothing but joy and prosperity.

Emmanuel Macron is facing a backlash after threatening to cut off social media networks as a means of stopping the spread of violence during periods of unrest.

Critics said considering such measures would put France alongside authoritarian countries such as China, Russia, Iran and North Korea.

So threatening to do something and getting a lot of pushback for even suggesting it, is the same as what happens in the PRC. Got it.

Nah, Border disputes with Buthan and India, but more importantly the south China sea. The island disputes with Vietnam, Phillipines, Japan.

Even suggesting the border is not the way China’s official policy states will get you in trouble in China, and that’s what my comment initially was about. Japanese artists taking art in a platform where they open themselves up for potential problems with the PRC.

I’m not from around there, but the heavy handed way the Chinese government suppresses dissenting is worrying, and not something people are used to when from a free democratic society. There seem to be a lot of intricacies to what you can and cannot say. And even though Weibo gives people access to the immense user base, there is a risk. A moment of not being careful (saying something not acceptable to China) can have huge consequences (up to and including loss of freedom).

Sure, or an actual depiction of country borders. There are many landmines hidden under truthfully things that China does not tolerate, and you seem to purposefully laugh them away.

Oh no, you got me there. You know very well what I meant, and you know it’s true.

But you know what, I hope it is a very good move for the illustrators and that the large following they get, allows them to further pursue their dreams. Good for them to not keep their eggs in the Twitter basket alone.

This will work until you publish stuff not allowed in china.
