All the people I watch on youtube make the majority of their money on patreon or twitch. Youtube is way too heavy handed with demonitization and copyright strikes to be a trutsworthy income source.

Yes they have an IG but I doubt the birthdate they gave is their real one.

A company I used to work for outsourced most of their coding to a company in India. I say most because when the code came back the internal teams anways had to put a bunch of work in to fix it and integrate it with existing systems. I imagine that, if anything, LLMs will just take the place of that overseas coding farm. The code they spit out will still need to be fixed and modified so it works with your existing systems and that work is going to require programmers.

I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that UL certified goods are super expensive. UL is the bare minimum. I have a $10 UL certified lamp on my desk right now. Certifications like TUV and similar are the more expensive ones.

Well just out of curiosity I took an AQ test and got a 20. While of course that doesn’t mean much on it’s own I should probably talk to my therapist about being properly tested. Being diagnosed wouldn’t really change anything but it certainly would explain some things.

This community is always a trip because every time I’m scrolling through all and I see a post like this that is completely relatable there is a 50/50 chance it is from this community. I didn’t think I was autistic but y’all are really making me start to wonder.

Have you tried actually reading what they said instead of just making shit up?

If they don’t get demonitized or falsely copyright claimed.

You need some sort of licensing to do most HVAC work anyways. Theres no point in forcing companies to make all the parts available to the average joe when the average joe can’t legally do the work anyways.

Maybe I’m autistic because that sounds fucking awesome. Fuck small talk. I just like existing by people I care about.

lemmy.ml has some absolutely draconian censorship. The word that was censored was probably b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t. (hopefullly it doesnt catch that). It’s also quickly going full blown tankie.

If you want an instance that doesn’t censor stuff like a club penguin chat and isn’t run by people who regard Joseph Stalin as their personal hero then a good one to try is sh.itjust.works. I only use lemmy.world because it’s the only one I could sign up for when I did. If I signed up now then I would probably go for sh.itjust.works or lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Copyright doesn’t matter for AI training data because that AI is considered a derivitive work therefor using whatever content they find for training data is fair use under current copyright law. People are literally training AI on Pixar content without copyright being an issue.

Also if you don’t want people using your stuff then why are you posting it in the open in a public board that basically everyone has access to? If you want to protect something then the first step would be not handing it to everyone and everything with an internet connection.

When it comes to hospitals the strikes are scheduled and the hospital is required to hire strike nurses until the strike is over because legally they can’t just not have nurses. Strike nurses are just travel nurses but to work durring a strike they generally charge several times what a regular nurse gets paid and the hospital doesn’t get a choice because they need nurses. My mom used to be a travel nurse and I remember that when working as a strike nurse she often made over $1000 per day plus travel expenses and housing paid for. I think the most she ever made was $2800 in a single work shift but that was at a hospital in a fairly wealthy area.

So yes hospitals do just hire other nurses to cover the strike but they usually don’t want to do that for long because it’s incredibly expensive compared to just caving to the strike demands.

Same. I checked out of the series back when they started enforcing U-Play use. I can’t understand why anyone would buy any of their games. Ubisoft went mask off a long time ago.

I would also even say that a show/movie subscription makes sense. Except all of the services have already preenshittified themselves to the point where it’s literally more convient to just pirate everything.

So far spotify hasn’t done that so I’ll continue happily paying for spotify even though I’m a filthy pirate. Hell, spotify could double in price and I would still be perfectly happy with the service I’m getting.

Nope. Those are all transformative works and are fair use. The remix, cover, or fanfic are all considered new works as far as copyright is concerned and the writer of them can do whatever they want with them including sell them. People get their fanfics published all the time they just usually don’t sell well. People make covers of songs and sell them all the time. I can think of several youtube channels that only do exactly that. Anyone can just go record themselves playing Wonderwall and try to sell it because them playing that song is a unique work. I think trademarked stuff is more restricted on what you can do with it but I’m not sure on that.

AI is also even more limited in regards to transformative works than humans because you can’t copyright the direct output of an AI. So if, for example, you made an AI output a cover of a song you could still do whatever you want with it but you couldn’t own the rights to it. Anyone else could also take it and profit off of it. The only way to copyright AI output is to create a transformative work based on that output. You can use the AI output to create a new work but you can’t just call the AI output your work. In my opinion that’s exactly where the law should be. You can use AI as a creative tool but you can’t just have one generate every possible picture of something and copyright them all.

Except doing all of that is perfectly legal. With music it’s called a remix or a cover. With stories it’s called fanfic.

If the AI is exactly replicating an artists works then that is copyright infringment without a doubt. But the AI isn’t doing that and it likely isn’t even capable of doing that.

Reactors that can do that have existed since the 70s and maybe even earlier.

The only reason there aren’t more reactors like that is because most governments have barely been allowing the construction of new reactors period.

I’m pretty close but I prefer signal just because SMS doesn’t do group messaging very well.

The infamous cheese wheel.
