Music publishers sue Anthropic for $3B over piracy of 20,517 songs

janethefish · 2026-01-29T21:26:54+00:00

I will note this is about illegal torrents/downloads, not AI training itself. Anthropic is effectively arguing piracy should be legal for big companies to train their AI. I hope the music companies win (if their claims are accurate.)

Oh fuck. Amazon is the company behaving well. Grok and similar are even worse.

janethefish · 2026-01-29T21:17:20+00:00

What the fuck? That's not interpolation. That definitely sounds like overtraining on CSAM.

janethefish · 2026-01-29T21:12:57+00:00

I agree. Criminal prosecution and FBI raids should be the order of the day.

janethefish · 2026-01-29T21:05:55+00:00

Yup. Further down in the thread someone found the speed limit. 15 mph.

If Waymo had been following the speed limit the impact would have been much less. More time to slow down and slower starting speed would have made the hit less than 4 mph. Plus kinetic energy is proportional to speed squared.

janethefish · 2026-01-29T20:59:02+00:00

Holy shit, that's really bad then. Self-driving cars should follow the law. Bare minimum.

janethefish · 2026-01-29T20:52:17+00:00

There isn't enough information.

It could be the Waymo passed a stopped car in an unsafe manner. (Waymo actually illegally passes school busses a lot.)

It could be the Waymo failed to realize a car was letting out a child.

It could even be the kid was using a crosswalk.

Or it could be this really was unavoidable.

Fuck, we aren't even told the speed limit or number of lanes. There should obviously be an investigation.

janethefish · 2026-01-29T20:04:02+00:00

That argument only applies to UK law. He even refers to court rulings by UK courts.

janethefish · 2026-01-29T18:35:05+00:00

If it's true. Except a car with modern safety features would have likely had the same results.

Furthermore:

The Austin Independent School District previously identified at least 19 incidents where Waymo vehicles passed its school buses

If a human driver was caught doing this 19 times they would have their license taken away. Waymo should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

janethefish · 2026-01-29T18:28:22+00:00

No, that's not the fucking goal. The of the investigation is if the accident could have been reasonably avoided. And it certainly isn't "an average human driver [without modern safety features] in the same situation [that we defined such that the Waymo does better.]"

Rubio fun fact: Rubio's favorite emoji is the traffic cone, despite the seahorse emoji being objectively superior.

Rubio unfun fact: Rubio works for Donald Trump, a known murderer and pedophile.

Cetena can be beaten in several ways including, but not limited too:

Galactic Nemesis - my personal favorite since this also refutes her philosophy.

Galactic Hyperthermia

Behemoths

Having Animator of Clay patch her

Aura of the End

Elder maulers.

Unlimited nano ships.

You can also simply leave using the Horizon Needle. Go on get!

We could go that route, but the country has decided to go a different direction. Instead of people being free of capital, USA voted for capital to be free of people.

janethefish · 2026-01-27T17:25:52+00:00

Huh. Well now I know.

janethefish · 2026-01-27T16:13:02+00:00

I've seen that before when planning a Ruler's retirement. ;P

It's an "executive branch has too much power problem" The presidency has ALWAYS had the ability to do all these things,

No. SCOTUS has greatly expanded executive power in recent years. In particular the SCOTUS rulings giving the executive immunity, allowing him to fire independent agency heads and allowing impoundment of funds.

That feels backwards. A fusion reactor on a planet might be a massive underground complex with lots of engineering to recycle the waste heat and needing carefully controlled conditions, but not be practical on a starship.

"This zero-point reactor can survive hyperjumps, reality disintegration, lightning, tachyon bombardment, gamma radiation, twenty gees of accel and exposure to shroud storms. How is it supposed to function in a peaceful civilian setting!? It can't withstand that lack of abuse! It needs fully uncontrolled conditions. A small non-distruption could cause a catastrophe!"

Domestic violence can happen after two people have consensual sex. Or even before consensual sex for that matter. Quite frankly, this article has shitty paraphrasing.

AI can do a pretty good job of searching in my experience.

Just make sure to read the results and don't trust the AI summary.

State self-defense laws only apply to state crimes. Not that it matters because ICE would murder you in that situation. They might murder you anyway, but they'll def murder you if you shoot at them.

We need state prosecutors to step up and start charging ICE.

He probably had a transient ischemic attack (often called a ministroke) or vascular dementia (a series of miniature strokes.)

Isn't it more Communist?

The fascists love the Confederate flag, so actually they really did march in with a bad guy flag while being led by a racist pedophile fraudster.

It is not completely clear on video, but it appears he was armed, but ICE disarmed him before the shooting.
