I wonder how that would go in court, I wonder if it’s been tried before? I could see an argument that if that was the intention and how they made money via gained followers, even indirectly, maybe it wouldn’t be fair use.

Edit: Like if they gain followers reposting grok modified images, and then they also show sponsored ads to their followers, now they are benefiting commercially by gaining followers via modified grok images. That might not be fair use, assuming the modified item was fair use to begin with otherwise.

May I introduce you to Fair Use Doctrine.

I wasn’t going to log in to verify either lol.

Even if that’s the case, it will come down to fair use policy which will allow quite a lot.

If the specific instance of sharing isn’t fair use and Twitter allows it, then sue them, someone will. Reddit for example though is just littered with modified images and they’ve been fine. Same with Lemmy.

Edit: If someone starts trying to make money off modified images via Grok, then that becomes a much easier case to win.

new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

This specific part is kinda stupid.

Nothing was ever preventing anyone from modifying an artists work. Its incredibly common. No one needs consent to modify anything.

To distrubute something that isn’t yours that doesn’t fall under fair use, absolutely. But modifying without consent is a joke.

Some people have relationships like that with their longtime family Dr, I never have though, nor do I even have one right now.

I think its worth pointing out that needing a vaccine is different than getting and benefiting from a vaccine.

Seasonal Flu and Covid vaccines are still beneficial, so while you don’t need any, if there is a way to beat the phobia, you can still benefit.

It’s not likely that anyone is going to offer you something like Xanax or Ativan for a yearly flu shot, but maybe your Dr would knowing your circumstances, and that could be a slow process to maybe beating it by getting some successful years behind you using that method?

I’ve had some really bad experiences in the past as well including passing out and nausea. Luckily at least for smaller needles like vaccines/dental work I no longer suffer from that. I still lay down if blood is being drawn.

It took a long time, but I think the dentist giving me some sedatives for the needles helped me get more comfortable with it since I knew they helped, and eventually, I was able to try without and it was hard but it did help, and it just got easier from there.

It still sucks, but it’s manageable now.

If you struggle at the dentist like I did, maybe that’s an option if you need work done and a path forward.

It’s a shame that’s not an option typically offered for other needles. I bet it could help people get vaccines if it was offered.

And here I was thinking id just upgrade to one of these on my AM4 board… guess not.

That’d be easy enough to test wouldn’t it? Ask it to write something else like ‘The hippo farts are smelly’

If it needs to understand whatever the fuck that language is to get that output, it either can or can’t?

Magnets clearly.

Why the fuck does this language exist lol

🤣🤣🤣 I had to Google that, but yes, he definitely approves.

When my mom texts me, she signs every message lol.

Give it another week and the ram for the steam machine will cost more than the whole steam machine the day it was announced.

Military is a good example.

First people who were gay were removed.

Then don’t ask don’t tell.

Then it was okay.

Now it’s not and they’re being removed and many outed themselves once it was okay.

One day, you’re not a terrorist. Then on Sept 22 2025 you are because you don’t support fascism.

I remember stories of Google intentionally making it hard for people to fork the project and maintain updates on it.

Never heard anything like that about Firefox, but doesn’t mean they don’t.

In Canada (or BC anyway) they need to pay the time and a half, and there’s technically no such thing as salaried. If you work over 40 even if you’re on salary, it’s over time at 1.5x.

However, there is a clause in BC at least that says high tech workers are exempt from the 1.5x rate for overtime.

It’s utter bullshit. Discriminated against in written law.

I mean ya, that works if they know who you are.

Sorry my bad. The messages will all be converted into AI slop when you submit them so you aren’t actually communicating with someone with your own written words so you have plausible deniability that you didn’t actually write any messages using encryption which is now an offense punishable by death.

It’s because it can’t be taken down. What happens when they arrest everyone working at signal? When they arrest you for hosting a E2E encrypted message relay?

That’s where language like this is headed.

Ethereum also recently introduced something called blobs, which is temporary data that lasts around 18 days. So it isn’t necessarily stored forever if you wanted a not as permanent message. There are archives that will keep all that as well, but it’s not maintained on the regular chain past 18d.
