A Look Through The Eye Of A Bowling Ball
If you are anything like us, last time you went bowling, you thought more about how the ball came back to you than actually knocking down the pin. Perhaps you even wondered what it would be like to…Hackaday

The three lynx that survived the ordeal have settled in to their new homes at the nearby Highland Wildlife Park, where this picture was taken. They have been named Caledonia, Cardrona and Bluebell.

So, I've found this really neat video showcasing the entire history of Dolphin, one of the absolute best Gamecube and Wii emulators we have. It's honestly surprising to see how it was almost as old as the Gamecube, and that it even grew up alongside it, then the Wii, to the point where it could even work with the official Wii and DS online (until Nintendo did a hella smooth-brained move and shut down the Wii and DS online in general in 2014 (I'm still mad about it)). Plus, it's just neat to see how far it has come since ~2003.

First, they liken AI training to open-source:
“CC is dedicated to facilitating greater openness for the common good. CC thus supports, in principle, broad access and use of copyright works, including openly licensed content, to train AI in the public interest…to ensure sharing ultimately benefits the public.”
The inherent problem with this is that AI training does not benefit the public. Trained AI is a commercial product. It only serves stakeholders and wealthy tech bros.

Second, they liken AI bots to researchers and academics.
“At CC, we believe that, as a matter of copyright law, the use of works to train AI should be considered non-infringing by default…for example, text-and-data mining in the context of research or education should be allowed under an exception to copyright.”
Researchers and academics cite their sources. AI products do not cite anyone or anything at all. They return a paid product after harvesting what they required to do so.

thanks for running this poll, Mark.
Striking that it got 8x the response here than on X.
Seems to me that the responses in each place are somewhat self-selecting. People still on X are likely to be more credulous.
Thing is, even if CC’s position were sensible in a narrow boundary sense (and I agree with you on that score), it’s obtusely ignoring the wider picture mastodon.social/@urlyman/11458…
the poll has 155 votes, and it's on twitter so that's probably 100 far right botfarm votes and 55 nazis lol
really, just them actually doing that on twitter and taking the results seriously is another reason for me to become very wary of them.
*edit: hold up, that whole twitter poll is from 2021!! 😅 (still, 100 votes are probably going to be from right wing bots lol, but it does place the results in a different perspective)
@DrPen we crossed in the night. 😂 I just saw your post and hadn’t seen any recent news about CC. But I def think they should reflect on their stance.
As you allude to, the main issue is how AI profits from CC work with no citations. That’s one of the quotes I pulled from the linked article in my follow-up.
Yes we did! Also, sry about typos but Im angry, can you tell?! I think we all need to follow these developments very closely. I didnt even know about the CC Twtr poll and Im in the OpenEd google email group! Why on Twtr? Ridiculous.
Academics are massively impacted by AI deals with article publishers. This is a powerful area for potential pushback as so much academic work uses CC licences. I think this is where the pressure is coming from for CC to acquiesce about the AI training.

The possibility of walking across is one advantage of bridges over tunnels.
It's no fun being stuck on an island with tunnels closed during an electrical blackout.
Manhattan in 2003: the ferries ran.
The bridges are accessible to pedestrians, like George Washington Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge.
