#MyFormTutor was also #MyChemistryTeacher; he was a #DreadfulTeacher...

#HisIdea of #Teaching was #Copying #TheText from #SomeoneElse's #Book onto a #Blackboard, while 23-#Students were #Expected to #Copy what he'd #Copied into our #OwnBooks... And, #Magickally; #TheLearning would #JustHappen...

#HisApproach to #Teaching #SetMeBack 3-#Years; but #NoOneCares about that, either... He's #DeadNow and #MyDoctorate is in #Engineering...

#So... #IT's #AllFine...

"Ruling a page is not like 'taking a line for a walk'; it is an attempt to control ahead of time the more freehand lines of writing..."

I feel this every time I try to use a blank journal!

Is copying a form of flattery? different to other topics as I have tried to look this up.

Well, yeah? It means someone has liked your stuff enough to essentially copy it or be inspired by it. Whenever I hear it in pop songs, I have to wonder whether it's copied or stolen, because both have two different intents behind it. People mistake copying for stealing which isn't always the case.

My view on it is generally to do with the intent. There are such a thing as happy accidents which is why there can be similar sounding chords and keys in songs. Likewise in art, brushes and colour palettes.

I can understand if my work was stolen and profited on, I would be pissed. Since my intent is not profit, it goes against my wishes and essentially crushes my dreams. Which is why you'll likely never find me funded or published by a corporation.

Which is to say, if I inspire people or am somehow good enough to be copied from, thank you.

I now see "#Music labels sue #AI companies #Suno, #Udio for US #copyright #infringement"

https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/music-labels-sue-ai-companies-suno-udio-us-copyright-infringement-2024-06-24/

The labels asked the courts to award statutory #damages of up to $150,000 per song the defendants allegedly copied. They accused Suno of copying 662 songs and Udio of #copying 1,670.
The #lawsuits are the first to target music- #generating AI following several cases brought by authors, news outlets and others over the alleged misuse of their work

I have finally #switched over #primary laptops today, switching out my #System76 #Pangolin for my new System76 #Oryx Pro. It took me a little over a month due to setbacks and #procrastination but as of 2023, December 22nd, I am now using the device full-time. I am disappointed though that it took so long to switch over. The Pangolin is now a #secondary device.

The most difficult part was file transfers. The system has an #unresolved #caching issue, and it slowed me down significantly, as #copying files over took over a dozen restarts to complete.

@nano #Piracy never was #Stealing - it's at best unauthorized #copying aka. "#forgery"...

Because the original material is still in the possession of the owner - it's not "stolen" like a car or it's tires...

@kenshirriff clever way to discourage #Copying of the #IC...

Kinda like with #Maps doing the same...

Interesting article on copyright and AI on the BBC website, including a summary of cases and practical methods being used to protect artists.

Copyright covers it.

Search/social media companies show a #snippet of the #article, and #link back to the original #site to read the full #article. That's fine, and shouldn't need #payment.

But if they're #copying more of the original article than is necessary for that purpose, eliminating those visits to the original site and benefiting #commercially, they're #violating the site's #copyright, and should pay #damages and #penalties for that.

🚨New paper!🚨
Why do #gender differences (sometimes) seem bigger in more gender equal countries?

Our agent based models show that general own-group #copying biases produce gender segregation regardless of presence/absence of real skill differences.

Important paper alert! Cross, Boothroyd and Jefferson ask: Why do #gender differences (sometimes) seem bigger in more gender equal countries?

They use a simulation model to show that general own-group #copying biases produce gender segregation regardless of presence/absence of real skill differences.
