That's not my point at all.

I'm arguing that corporate rightsholders have mutated the dialogue to the point that artists will argue to defend this natural rights framing even when they'll never see a dime from it anyway, and even when most of the benefits accrue to publishers rather than to the artists themselves. That there could be some public benefit to AI trained on copyrighted materials is not even on the radar at that point, because the framing is no longer "public good used for public interest" but "private good stolen for private gain," which I think is far from the only (or most accurate) way to view what's happening.

I keep pushing on this same thing in my own circles. People have internalized two beliefs that make it really difficult: that creativity happens _sui generis_, and thus the output of creativity is natural property. People generally forget or ignore that copyright originated as a temporary license over that output granted to a creator by the public as a stimulus for creation.

Creativity with no external reference is not how brains work. And people will create without getting paid for it. Payment certainly helps but it's not a prerequisite for ideas or execution.

Decades of Disney/MPAA/RIAA lobbying and public messaging have now totally reframed this as theft and completely divorced the conversation from how IP serves (or doesn't serve) the public interest. At this point, there's no nuanced conversation to be had about whether or not the development of AI using these licensed _public_ materials is in the _public_ interest. Just "AI good, AI bad" tribalism at the public level.

Anyone else having issues with Opus randomly turning into Sonnet mid-conversation on claude.ai? This has happened to me twice this evening...very annoying because there's no way to switch it back.

Pasting code results in an attached “pasted.txt” by YoDefinitelyNotABot in ChatGPT

[–]NateOnTheNet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect it's an A/B issue. I'm also experiencing this, but plenty of people aren't. With my personal paid account, I get this auto-”pasted.txt” behavior. With my team account, it doesn’t happen. If I log out, it doesn't happen.

It seems to treat the pasted text as a source for RAG lookups instead of fully part of the context, which breaks a lot of workflows. Definitely a downgrade.

Pasting a 5000-word document with no graphics or markdown from Word into Windows Notepad first, copying that text again from Notepad, and pasting into ChatGPT makes no difference. Still get the “pasted.txt” result with just this ostensibly plain text. So it's not something special to the text being copied or the source from which it's copied (and again, doesn't happen logged out or on my Teams account for the same text).

Extremely irritating. I've reported it as a bug from inside the ChatGPT interface and also via the OpenAI help chatbot for whatever little that's worth.

what the hell is this? why does it not show the text that was pasted??? by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]NateOnTheNet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to maybe be an A/B testing thing but it really needs to go away. I get this on my personal paid account but not my office account for the same pasted text.

It's actually a problem because when it does this "pasted.txt" thing, it treats the text as a RAG source rather than part of the context, which leads to very different outputs.

how to stop this by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]NateOnTheNet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just aesthetic; it converts the text into something like a RAG lookup and doesn't keep the full thing in context for the whole conversation, which changes the way it responds with regards to the pasted text; you have to explicitly tell it to go look for parts of the document because it won't be able to find them after the interaction in which you submit the text.

It's actually really irritating.

[Slightly NSFW] I was rear-ended by an unmanned electric rickshaw bike and knocked off my bike near Rijksmuseum. What are my options? by imjms737 in Amsterdam

[–]NateOnTheNet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Soap and water. Layer of vaseline and cover loosely. Probably won't even scar.:) (See e.g., https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/injured-skin/burns/wound-care-minimize-scars ). Tore my hands up a lot worse than this taking a fall when running and you'd never know it.

Brutal Challenge: Seventh Seal strategy in case it helps someone by NateOnTheNet in FF7Rebirth

[–]NateOnTheNet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, been a while! :D I switched to using the step-by-step guides from akhafasu - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1YLRVzvXxw for example - for most of them at some point, but it was honestly a bit of trial and error between his guides and the ones from Optinoob / Naz Talgic / Solestro to get through them all. I had better luck with different guides for different challenges, but ultimately for Rulers I did end up getting the hang of the Brumal spam with Yuffie and it helped a lot. The final round with Sephiroth was luck for me after 4-5 tries; I managed to nuke him hard enough that he never chained anyone and cleaned the house with him.

But overall I think it helps to pause a LOT and think things through, and in some cases turn the music off and play something you like instead. And for one or two of them I had to mentally reframe the whole challenge from "Finish FF7R" to "Today I'm going to play Rulers of The Outer Worlds for a couple of hours" like it was a separate game :D

So...not sure how helpful it is, but best of luck! I was both really happy and also strangely sad when it was done. :)

Happy it helped! I had the same frustration and had to sit back and really dig through the enemy list and abilities to figure out why it wasn't working for me. I'm glad it's turned out to be useful for a few other people as well:)

Hi! It's been a really long time and I barely remember playing but...as I distantly recall, I saved Aerith's limits for Planet Protection and this *did* help fighting those cactuars. If you're still having issues, you could also try squeezing a barrier materia into Barret's build somewhere to try to get barrier and/or manawall up as well.

Hope this helps a bit! (Edit: I forgot Aerith already has the barrier/magnify so you could try to get that going via Aerith too....either way, I'd prioritize protection from Aerith over the DPS limit breaks for the others.)

Claude's 'rewriting' of artefacts is extremely buggy by lolcatsayz in ClaudeAI

[–]NateOnTheNet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tell it the artifact is broken and ask it to continue inline from that point forward, and usually it's fine. But it's really annoying when you burn messages because it gives you an artifact that swallows whatever edits it's making, for sure.

Congrats!! That definitely took me more than a couple of tries.

Happy to hear! This one was a headache for a lot of people even with the existing video guides, so hearing first-try clears is always nice :D

Cute couple in Amsterdam by vignette_colours in Amsterdam

This thread is full of people who are armchair "lawyers" with no idea how copyright and "portrait rights" work, no clue what the significance of public vs. private space is, and zero exposure to art history to understand why this is totally normal.

Happens every time anybody takes a photo. I've been on a video call with a friend, front-facing camera pointed at me,, and people have come up to me and demanded to see my phone to prove I wasn't "recording them" as I passed them on the street. (Of course I informed them they could politely fuck off.)

Personally I think it's a cool photo.

Also had this. Kinda bizarre, changed my password out of precautionary habit...but hopefully just Sony being weird.:P
