The reason, I now realize, that radical feminists could speak up against transgenderism was the same reason they weren’t heard: radical feminists aren’t funded by anyone.
sublime.

I think the Suzuki method for piano isn't a good system, at least not for many children. I'm watching recitals of children (who I know and love) playing simple pieces poorly (exactly I did) and it's all so silly. The children mostly know this and I don't think they enjoy playing in the forced recitals.

Perhaps people really feel this rights century old wrongs of conquerers...even though on the basis of dubious historicity.
I guess it's the legal alchemy that somehow wills myths, that no serious historian believes, into reality. Many major and wealthy celebrities are making their appearances. The leader of this secular nation couldn't just step aside to avoid any appearance of partiality. None of this is good...but then I guess might is really right, and it's fun to be mighty.

This article is so strange. https://spectrum.ieee.org/midjourney-copyright
Experiments with Midjourney and DALL-E 3 show a copyright minefield
Well...depending on what you do with those outputs, sure. But then there are copyright minefields in using your computer for mundane things like backing up DVDs, sharing mp3 files with your friends etc.
We will call such near-verbatim outputs “plagiaristic outputs,” because if a human created them we would call them prima facie instances of plagiarism.
Why are we calling them “plagiaristic outputs”? Did the computer claim that the output is its own original work? That would be hard to do given the training data is often freely available for anyone to see.
Artists generally have no good way of attributing works that they may have derived their work from and are aware they may not be able to recall the exact works that they are influenced by. If someone made a pixel perfect copy of an image authored by someone else in, say, minecraft and attributed the author of the original image somehow (say, in a writeup on twitter) , it wouldn't be plagiarism.
Computer programs, like modern generative AI, don't make declarations of who created their outputs. The humans that run them do.
There are no out of the box methods for perfect attribution with AI yet....but they are definitely a realistic possibility.
The last line:
Another participant who may or may not have worked for Midjourney then said “at some point it really becomes impossible to trace what’s a derivative work in the eyes of copyright.”
Is about right. The problem here might be copyright, not really AI.

There seems to be loyalists (mostly Harvard alumni from government/law etc.) who seem very focused on making the issue about process and rules, as if the plagarism wasn't verifiable with seconds of inspection.

I never thought I'd be able to make spinach rotis for some silly reason. I have a reliable well oiled process now and it works great.
16oz spinach
4.5 cups of atta
7 tbl spoons of olive oil
half a tiny spoon of salt
cook down the spinach in the oil and salt until most of the water is gone (doesn't need to be bone dry, but if you leave all that water in there, it will probably be more than the dough will take)
blend up the spinach (I use a handblender), put it in a metal bowl and cool in a larger metal bowl of cold water (assuming you are trying to get this done efficiently...the mixture takes a while to cool enough that it doesn't burn your hands when you are kneading in the next step)
add the flour, mix it with your hands (squeeeze the spinach puree)
add water in small amounts and keep kneading, the dough will eventually stick together...keep adding small bits of water...get it to: "oh crap I just turned this is into mud"...once you knead it back from mud, you know you are done.
roll up nice little balls (so that one fits in your hand, they are on the smaller side) and freeze them!
Thaw two or three when you need them (defrost in microwave), roll them out on a silicone mat, no stick no mess, no need for extra atta. If their boundary looks like the coastline of britain when you roll them out, you've almost certainly got "cracks" on the outside the dough which wasn't wet enough to seal. This took me forever to figure out. None of the roti making experts around me could explain what was wrong until I figured it out.
Heat it up on lowish heat (my stove burner is about 1/3 the way), flip after it looks dry. I regularly get nice poofy ones now.
