Since they speak multiple languages, they probably spend quite a lot of time thinking about the subtle differences in meaning between words, so the precise meaning of the word “polyglot” no doubt matters quite a lot to them.

They also said that they were cancelling lifetime contracts that hadn’t been used in 6 months. Hard to see how those could be sinking the company.

It isn’t the case that they have to engage in diplomacy to bring him back. They are paying El Salvador to take these prisoners. El Salvador has no reason not to hand him over.

I don’t think that the safe harbour provision should apply when the person posting is the owner of the company.

Is one of those things giving attribution? If I ask for a picture of Mount Fuji in the style of a woodblock print, can the AI tell me what its inspirations were?

AIs take away attribution as well as copyright. The original authors don’t get any credit for their creativity and hard work. That is an entirely separate thing from ownership and property.

It is not at all OK for an AI to take a work that is in the public domain, erase the author’s identity, and then reproduce it for people, claiming it as its own.

Absolutely. Trump wants to sell that info, not give it away!

On .ml, communists get called lib. Ask me how I know.

Is it not “use of air-delivered incendiary weapons against military targets in civilian areas” ? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Certain_Conventional_Weapons .

Are you trying to say they’re targeting it at the combatants and therefore it is OK to use it in a civilian area?

Because the photo just above makes it pretty obvious that it isn’t a weapon that can be used in a targeted fashion.

I don’t know about Canada, but the UK has “the Crown” at its core. The Crown is not the same as the actual monarch. Property owned by the King and property owned by the Crown are not the same thing, for example.

Well, his tough talk worked with Brazil, didn’t it?

Is this supposed to be a point of contention?

Let’s have a trigger warning on that, please.

Cries in Brexit

Given how much they have been projecting about vote-rigging, I would say this is very plausible.

We found the solutions a long time ago - it’s just that nobody wanted to implement them.

I think it’s quite clear that we did.

The way you’ve worded that suggested to me that there isn’t an actual solution so, for the people who didn’t click through, I’ll point out that the article concludes: “more sustainable alternatives to plastic bottles exist for all three types of beverage”.

That said, in order to compare the environmental impact, there has to be some kind of weighting between the energy cost of manufacture and the direct environmental pollution (discarded plastic choking marine animals; microplastics; etc). I’m not sure it even makes sense to try to combine them. Climate change is an imminent existential threat, whereas microplastics are poisoning us but not obviously killing us.

I also wonder what they assumed for the energy source in the glass manufacture. It is mostly fossil fuels at present, but the industry is moving towards electrification.

We know perfectly well that the art is behind glass and will not be damaged because they did it before. So it’s complete nonsense to say that it will potentially destroy the art.

The author trying to make a connection is not clarifying which bias Tlaib meant. It is just as likely to be misrepresenting what Tlaib meant.

And, when you think about it, Tlaib said biases - plural - so this ‘clarification’ - if it was a clarification - is ignoring the other biases.
