“There are many good reasons to be concerned about the rise of generative AI(…). Unfortunately, there are also many good reasons to be concerned about copyright’s growing prevalence in the policy discourse around AI’s regulation. Insisting that copyright protects an exclusive right to use materials for text and data mining practices (whether for informational analysis or machine learning to train generative AI models) is likely to do more harm than good. As many others have explained, imposing copyright constraints will certainly limit competition in the AI industry, creating cost-prohibitive barriers to quality data and ensuring that only the most powerful players have the means to build the best AI tools (provoking all of the usual monopoly concerns that accompany this kind of market reality but arguably on a greater scale than ever before). It will not, however, prevent the continued development and widespread use of generative AI.”

“(…) As Michal Shur-Ofry has explained, the technical traits of generative AI already mean that its outputs will tend towards the dominant, likely reflecting ‘a relatively narrow, mainstream view, prioritizing the popular and conventional over diverse contents and narratives.’ Perhaps, then, if the political goal is to push for equality, participation, and representation in the AI age, critics’ demands should focus not on exclusivity but inclusivity. If we want to encourage the development of ethical and responsible AI, maybe we should be asking what kind of material and training data must be included in the inputs and outputs of AI to advance that goal. Certainly, relying on copyright and the market to dictate what is in and what is out is unlikely to advance a public interest or equality-oriented agenda.”
…
“If copyright is not the solution, however, it might reasonably be asked: what is? The first step to answering that question—to producing a purposively sound prescription and evidence-based prognosis, is to correctly diagnose the problem. If, as I have argued, the problem is not that AI models are being trained on copyright works without their owners’ consent, then requiring copyright owners’ consent and/or compensation for the use of their work in AI-training datasets is not the appropriate solution. (…)If the only real copyright problem is that the outputs of generative AI may be substantially similar to specific human-authored and copyright-protected works, then copyright law as we know it already provides the solution.”

In this film, the ‘Newton’s Cradle’ isn’t just a symbolic object—it represents the fragile balance between control and freedom in a world where time itself is being manipulated. The oscillation of the cradle reflects the constant push and pull of power in this dystopian society. By the end of the film, we discover that this seemingly innocuous object holds the potential to disrupt the system, offering a glimmer of hope that time can be reset and balance restored.
To measure the contrast ratio you will need a light meter. The process starts with you measuring the main source of light, or the key light.
Get a reading from the brightest area on the face of your subject. Then, measure the area lit by the secondary light, or fill light. To make sense of what you have just measured you have to understand that the information you have just gathered is in F-stops, a measure of light. With each additional F-stop, for example going one stop from f/1.4 to f/2.0, you create a doubling of light. The reverse is also true; moving one stop from f/8.0 to f/5.6 results in a halving of the light.
An incredible story. Vivian Maier was a nanny who lived in Chicago for most of her life and passed away in 2009 at the age of 83. Little more is known about her, except that she was an avid street photographer. Her work was discovered at an auction in 2007, more than 100,000 negatives and undeveloped rolls of film, sold by a storage facility who were cleaning out her locker for delinquent rent.
The FCC voted to kill net neutrality and let ISPs like Comcast ruin the web with throttling, censorship, and new fees. Congress has 60 legislative days to overrule them and save the Internet using the Congressional Review Act
