Meanwhile, every niche community of experts having real conversations on forums moved to discord and they were shut down.

Forums of voluntary experts are so massively underrated, they are massive wells of knowledge that are conveyed in the highly trustable form of human conversation. Yah you can fake identities and such but compared to other mediums, fake conversation and beliefs stick out like a sore thumb.

@aparrish Let’s make all web content automatically AGPL and see Google squirm as they realize that then they also have to release everything into the commons. If my content is part of their program (that’s machine learning), then their program must be free.

I bet that there’s GPL content via that route in their programs.

I want commons that takes back what’s taken out.

@ArneBab @aparrish It seems the current legal consensus is that hiding the source data in a machine learning network erases authorship?

@clacke @aparrish in the EU not really — there’s an allowance for research in universities, the rest is between gray and copyright infringement. But almost impossible to prove.

@clacke @aparrish @ArneBab yeah this, the ML model publishers argue that training a model doesn't require permission from the authors of the original content. See GitHub Copilot.

@Gulfie @clacke @aparrish they argue that, but no judge decided yet, right?

@ArneBab @clacke @aparrish iirc yeah, it hasn't actually been tested in court
