I'm not here to argue the finer points, and in general I simply try to aim for the practical actions that lead to better circumstances. I agree with many of your points.

This lawsuit won't fix anything but it will slow down the progress of OpenAI and their ability to loot culture and content for all it's value. I see it as a foot in the door for less economically capable artists and such.

Lawsuits are not isolated incidents. The outcome of this will have far reaching impacts on the future of how people's work is treated in regards to AI and training data.

Noooooooooo. No.

Everyone and every organization has a bias. Even a "neutral" bias is a bias. Finding out which way their bias leans is good info to figure out.

For someone who claimed to not be a fan of OpenAI, you sure do know all the fan arguments against regulation for AI.

I actually don't know anything about those. Were they put there while the soviet union still existed/built by the soviet union themselves, or were they put there later after by some fan of the soviet union? If the goal is to keep what is historical, regardless of political context, that would be the key distinction in my opinion.

I didn't want to be more specific than my memory lol, thanks for the detail.

Most confederate statues are cheap crap bulk built all over the place sometime after the civil war as a sort of long term propaganda. They aren't historical, they are reputation management.

I think those are supposed to be the ends of a wooden frame sticking through hay?

But that is me trying to guess what they were going for. It looks more like a cookie lol

I remember so many nuclear stans on lemmy a bit ago refusing to acknowledge that renewables are getting so good and cheap that they are more important to solving climate change than nuclear. I wonder how they feel seeing investors pull out in favor of renewables?

I mean, define "ok" in this context

Will chrome kill you? No

Will chrome physically hurt anyone else because you used it? No

Will the internet become less free if google is able to successfully force this? Yes

Does using chrome contribute to this? Yes, marginally

Would as many people as possible switching off of chrome and chromium and onto an alternative help? Yes

I find this whole thing an interesting argument, as someone who switched from chrome to firefox for extremely unrelated reasons months ago.
