Something of the sort has already been claimed for language/linguistics, i.e. that LLMs can be used to understand human language production. One linguist wrote a pretty good reply to such claims, which can be summed up as “this is like inventing an airplane and using it to figure out how birds fly”. I mean, who knows, maybe that even could work, but it should be admitted that the approach appears extremely roundabout and very well might be utterly fruitless.

Same. I learned about the ‘releases’ section only recently thanks to some kind Lemmy user (kinder than some I’ve seen on Lemmy and reddit discussing this same image, some people are openly supporting gatekeeping of software).

By the time you finished making this snarky meme, you could’ve set up a program to OCR a book yourself.

AFAIK, lemmy.world only blocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community, not the whole instance, and unblocked it a few months afterwards.

True, it’s not right to call lemmy.world users “reddit-brained”.

TBH it’s just simple text files, you can open any .srt with Notepad and edit it to your liking. I always remove those dumb ads at the beginning and the end.

They should be archiving a lot more of the internet, too, including all media.

They do, they have an extensive collection of scanned books, music and film.

Is it known whether this popup appears only in specific geographic regions, or is it worldwide?

The pessimist in me says to look out for a bill authored by Google to make adblocking illegal.

Not a lawyer, but that doesn’t sound legally possible. It’s like turning off the sound when the ads on TV start, you must have the right to consume the data that has been delivered to you however you desire.

Or maybe classical music? I’m not a lawyer, but just think of what music you can share where the artist or record label isn’t going to sue you.

Classical isn’t necessarily non-suable. You can share the sheet music Beethoven wrote, since he’s been dead for a long time and his work is in public domain, but each new performance and recording of a given composition is also copyrighted by the musicians(s), since they have invested creative effort into its realisation.

Not that you’d be remotely likely to get fined either way, unless the publishing label is very prestigeous, Warner Classics or maybe Deutsche Grammophon (though even then if you’re outside of US/UK or Germany I don’t think they’d care).

Maybe they’re discussing which service is best to rip new films/series from.

Then the logical conclusion is that the 2 people should find some other people to share the burden.

I really don’t see how my statement is controversial. This is sadly how the internet works, regardless of how much or how little you can invest into your site - you need mechanisms to fight off against such spam and malice.

People have responsibilities

Exactly - when you create a site, you have a responsibility to make sure it’s not used to distribute child porn.

we are working on increasing the number of full time developers

That’s not how it works, this is up to Lemmy devs themselves and not up to any individual Lemmy instance.

an imageboard

I think we all know which one you’re thinking of; nobody uses any other imageboard ;)
