An easy choice that you somehow managed to get wrong?

What is "the message"? The video doesn't say.

Invoking Popper's paradox of tolerance is misjudged IMHO, because the PSF doesn't aim to maximise liberty. Instead it aims to create a welcoming environment for everyone, and that involves adding restrictions that go beyond what is necessary to prevent a descent into fascism.

It's a guarantee in any jurisdiction with adequate consumer protection law.

In the UK we've labelled things made in factories that also handle nuts since forever. I assume it's an EU thing that we never got rid of.

This comment neatly explains why the LLM bubble will burst as soon as prosecutors remember that the DMCA doesn't have a carve-out for AI.

> I think the worst possible outcome is a licensing regime that means that Disney or Paramount or Elsevier or whoever all get to have a monopoly on training large models within their niche.

Why is this the worst possible outcome? Companies using AI would be training with properties they own or have licensed appropriately, rather than the existing scheme of ignoring copyright law to extract $$$ from the creative works of ordinary people.

Monopoly leveraging is illegal, not mundane.

Left wingers complain when journalists don't hold powerful people to account. Right wingers complain when they do.

Why can't "dampen" be applied to oscillators? It means "To lessen; to dull; to make less intense" in this case.

> The world is chock full of vampires looking to exploit helpers. Don't let them get you.

More importantly, don't let this dissuade anyone from helping. Some caution is needed yes, but cynicism is the greater foe. A life of public service is a life well spent.
