Okay Linux users, no snark about this distro is better than that one. We're all just one happy family.
It really could be more if the linux user community could agree on things and stop gatekeeping - which seems to be the only thing most online active linux users can agree on "ermagerd eternal september" ๐
Anti Commercial-AI license
You know they steal books by the library right? How is this line supposed to do anything? It reminds me of the Facebook copy and paste spam like "Don't make my photos publicly available" after the person already uploaded a million photos on their page
Who steals books from the library? The Creative Commons Org? I tried looking it up online and can't really find what you are referring to.
Do you mean that they literally take books from the library and never return them, or do they copy library books an slap a new license on them? Are the books that they do that to in the public domain?
People who make AI models
they steal data for AI
"by the ___" is an expression for quantities
Ah, I see what you are saying. Thanks for taking the time to explain.
I guess I'm confused what that licence has to do with AI though.
I know onlinepersona put AI on the end of that link, but from what I can tell it's just a normal copy left license.
I guess some conceivably could put such a licence on an AI generated thing, but I'm not sure they would be able to enforce it unless the model wasn't trained on stolen data.
They might be able to copyright the prompt though.
Idk, we will probably have to rely on the courts to determine something like that, which means we will get the worst possible outcome.
Not really the same, as Facebook ToS means they own everything you upload. Not the case here.
It's a little badge they like to wear.
Used to be a lot longer and more annoying.
