Looks like #sora was trained on #scraped data.

The #openai trademark, it seems...

More #legal issues expected.

Nino never had to be cajoled or threatened or bribed to practice violin. He picked up the battered music shop rental instrument as if it were a rare butterfly, set it at his chin, and #scraped the bow across it day after day, practicing the Minuet in G. Musicians were summoners. Right now he was a novice, a beginner, and could summon only this angular, screeching thing, but with practice one day he would call the light, dancing creature the teacher had modeled for him.

My #model, whitepaper if you may, for managing copyright compensation in real-time for AI agent-based economies.

This model is needed to guarantee future generations an open public space where people come to show their publications, not a world where productivity is hidden behind closed doors in fear of being #scraped.

The model is public-enabled #market, by which total market turnover would greatly multiply relative to the cost.

Squirrel is rather persistent in fights. Perhaps too much so. He got into a fight with an alpha arcanine and proceeded to get bit around his midsection. So now he's recovering and rather bored!

👉United States v. Price 👈deals with the 🔸federal ban on knowingly possessing a firearm with a removed or obliterated serial number. 🔸
Randy Price was pulled over in a traffic stop in 2019 in Charleston, West Virginia, and officers discovered a handgun in his car with the serial number #scraped #off. 
Price was indicted on two federal charges
—possessing a firearm as a convicted felon (Price had earlier been convicted of involuntary manslaughter and aggravated robbery),
—and possessing a gun with an obliterated serial number. 
He moved to dismiss the indictment under Bruen, and the district judge granted that motion as to the 922(k) serial number charge in an October 2022 decision. 
In that opinion District Judge Joseph #Goodwin first determined that the law “is far more than [a] mere commercial regulation . . . [but r]ather [] a blatant prohibition on possession” that bans conduct protected by the Second Amendment. 
At step two of the Bruen test, Judge Goodwin found that “the societal problem addressed by Section 922(k) was likely in existence at the founding but not addressed by similar means” and that serial number requirements (and bans on possessing guns without serial numbers) did not come about until the 20th century. 
He also held that whether guns lacking a serial number are in common use for lawful purposes was ultimately irrelevant, because “the presence or lack of a serial number makes no difference with respect to whether the type of weapon is commonly used.” 
In other words, the judge embraced the argument that common use inquires only into a firearm’s functionality and not superficial features.

#Scraped & bruised,
my heart refuses to die.
Pulled&torn like
exposed tree bark,
it continues to feel,
carrying love&light.
It's a minor thing, nothing noteworthy. A miracle, a spontaneous hope, born
from a tiny seed. At times,
spasms wrecked my heart's inner chamber but it continues to live, refusing to become a hallow vessel of despair&hopelessness

I'm supportive of this proposal by @huitema to put some friction in the way of social graph #spiders and other scrapers:

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22924

I'm pretty sure that #Mastodon is already being #scraped by the intelligence agencies or the shadowy companies that support them, or by companies using it for training data for face recognition or other #privacy-invasive data gathering.

Let's make it more difficult for the scrapers!

@Cyber_OSINT The #scraped data is only "public" data that you'd get if you logged into the instance yourself. Name, handle, etc. This is not private data. There could be some downside to making it more easily accessible but also some upsides. I expect you could get the exact same data just using the ActivityPub api.

Facebook #scraped call, text message data for years from #Android phones [Updated]

"#Facebook has responded to this and other reports regarding the collection of call and SMS data with a blog post that denies Facebook collected call data surreptitiously.

This "#factcheck" contradicts several details #ArsTechnica found in analysis of Facebook data downloads and testimony from users who provided the data."
