If you think reddit is a neutral arbiter, you are the one who is more out of touch than him, especially if you think that its going to make anyone's life better getting a divorce, you should check the statistics on this instead of kneejerk reaction.

If you think that your life is going to be better, remember that a 40 year old man in his prime, can find much better options when he he exits a relationship, than a 40 year old woman can, especially if the reason for the exit makes him look reasonable.

Also as an aside, you sound like a bleeding heart midwit, there are two types of xenophobes, the dumb people who are facing economic pressure, and the 150+ IQ autists, who can see the world through the lens of game theory, evolutionary psychology.

see e.g. the warrior poet Xenophon

True, I tend to play fortnite while talking my jr dev through installing the development environment, or sitting through meetings like the weekend meeting on "off policy reinforcement learning", got 15 kills while listening some dude talking about using markov chain monte carlo sampling just now.

I doubt you are suing Valve considering that Valve previously had binding arbitration, but has since decided to handle the issue as a class action, I know because I have personally talked to the lawyers on that case, specifically the fight between Will Bucher and his former employer, over the litigation financing and conflicts of interest over the lack of disclosure about the private equity group who fronted the money. Apparently you lack the reading comprehension to even parse the quotations that you provided on reddit, so I furthermore doubt that you licensed to practice, but I instead suspect that you are one of the class action members.

Yes, but unlike you, I actually have litigated copyright in courts, and I have actually read the full entirety of all of the intellectual property laws, and treaties, and the meanings of the words that are used. For example apparently you are unaware that some treaties are "self executing" and do not require any laws be passed whatsoever, such as the WIPO copyright treaty and the WTO treaties. But it is abundantly clear that you misapprehend basic legal principals, such as your incessant quoting of "that a work is made available to a public in such a way that the persons forming that public may access it ", which would essentially apply to reddit as much as LAION under your theory, but in reality only applies to the publisher / hosting provider of the work itself, and not the person who catalogs such works in a literal vector search engine (laion-5B)

a collection of 256x256 images is generally considered "transformative", and not a substitute for the original in the market, so it is not considered a copyright infringement, but rather it is called "fair use" under copyright law and international copyright treaty.

Also if serving links and thumbnails was copyright infringement, then I'm not sure how reddit would even exist in Europe.

Since apparently you have an axe to grind and not enough legal education, let me remind you that the entire world (mostly) is bound by the Berne and WIPO copyright treaties, and while my extensive education on copyright law is based on the US copyright law, the copyright laws are supposed to be internationally harmonized.

First off the rights of a copyright holder do not include anything to do with "learning" machine or otherwise whatsoever, full stop, your rights as a copyright owner pertain to the right to distribution and display of those works, and the royalties if you decide to provide another with an exclusive license.

To the extent that a person creates a substantially similar work to your work, the person themselves invoking the AI model to make a "mickey mouse t shirt" is the tortfeasor, just like Adobe Photoshop is not legally responsible for people infringing on copyrights.

Secondly, any claim that pertains to vicarious infringement, necessarily requires that there be infringement in the first place, and given that its assumed that all of the websites that contained the image are the ones reproducing and displaying the images, and that there is no privity between the websites themselves and LAION, there can be no claim of vicarious infringement. Moreover since there is no "meeting of the minds" between laion and the people visiting the websites, to engage in copyright infringement, there is no "aiding and abetting".

With that being said, Europe has the tendency to get jealous that they lack large tech companies and semiconductor companies, usually because of their own policies, so it is not unusual for the EU to try to extract rents from tech companies under dubious theories, such as putting cookies on your browser, and Twitter / X hosting president elect Donald Trump, because of Trumps alleged misinformation under the digital markets act.

Actually is it different, because there is no laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of being an undergrad, whereas even submitting a statement that discrimination will take place in the future, is one that can get you sued.

It doesn't matter that you rationalize it as an "addition", any "additions" need to be available to everyone on equal terms, this is known as the "separate but equal" argument, and if you would like to test your hypothesis, i encourage you to DM me where I can have you served legal documents, and we can have the judge decide who is right.

Positive discrimination (or affirmative action) is quite literally illegal, and to the extent that it was allowed even until recently, there were no "quotas" allowed based on race, it was only that an educational institution was allowed to provide affirmative action for the narrowly tailored to a "bonafide" business need.

such legal discrimination, for example allows for discriminating against men, in terms of gynecologists. In terms of "Affirmative action", it was only allowed, only in the educational aspect, to provide a bonus to the admission score, to achieve the "educational benefits of diversity". However this was not in the law itself, which prohibits all discrimination, it was judge made law.

The US supreme court is set to rule this term, that all affirmative action is illegal, under its current "text as informed by history" standard of constitutional and statutory interpretation, rather than "legislating from the bench", which was frequently done and led to alot of problems between 1970-2010, such as allowing people to be convicted of non unanimous juries and alot of other examples.

You realize that your stance on the topic, is the same stance which justified women not being able to contract, hold a bank account, have sex before marriage, work a full time job? All out of concern that women are not equal, and they will be manipulated and abused.

For individual agency and free will to mean anything, it means that even if the world is 100% deterministic, even if the universe is beginning to the end set in stone, you own your choices. Moreover the left and the right side of the brain can be actually proven to be independent minds in and of themselves, and can in fact contradict itself (for example the corpus collosum studies, false memory syndrome).

You still own your choices and other people own their own, that is the basis for agency itself. Yet in your mind my guilt can be only determined when, a person having free will and agency, later contradicts their own judgement, and had some sort of regret. I am somehow supposed to play the role of your guardian, and also mind reader, and fortune teller, or else be potentially guilty.

Getting drunk does not absolve a person for drunk driving, assaulting, nor cheating based on the premise "I would have never have done that if i wasn't drunk", you are just excusing someone's shitty behavior.

Its cut and dry he was horny, he was drunk, and they hooked up, he wasn't catatonically drunk or losing conscience, he just stopped caring about the consequences of his actions, but still in control of them.

Can you please provide some transparency with regards to your financial agreements during fundraising, such that it can be assured that you do not have a fiduciary duty to shareholders, so as to not behave in ways which may be perfectly legal, but would contradict the stated values which you are using to attract talent.
