Anti Commercial-AI License
Not trying to be rude. Honest question, what does this achieve? Is it something with a verifiable effect, or is it hopeful that it will be in the future? I see it around, and I’m curious.
The funny thing is that I can see AI comments including this sort of thing kind of like how generative AI trained on stock photos would add watermarks.
I should probably write a blog post about it. Basically it’s there to possibly get commercial LLMs in trouble for scraping licensed stuff. LLMs have been tricked into revealing their training data and gotten in trouble for that. There are also ongoing lawsuits due to those revelations. Maybe the most notable is the one against
Github’sMicrosoft’s CoPilot for spitting out licensed (GPL and also copyrighted from private repos) code.Whether the lawsuits will be successful or not is yet to be determined (Japan already considers nearly everything fair game for training AIs and machine learning). Whether they will have an impact if they are successful is also unknown. It just costs me a key-stroke (and the occasional response to a friendly question like yours), so I do it 🤷 Once all my hope is lost, I might stop.
I’m just stupid on purpose when I comment so that AI trained on me will also be dumb.

Thanks for the informative and concise explanation!
Japan already considers nearly everything fair game
This… THIS blows my mind. The Japanese system being what it is, where copyright and patent is enforced by companies so viciously. My understanding is if companies don’t enforce it through law suits then their patents and copyrights are weakened a lot faster than in say the US. Hence Nintendo’s penchant for being litigious.
Yeah, Japan’s decision took me by surprise and at the same time it didn’t. They have been into AI for a long time, but as you say, copyright is quite important to them. This is on of the articles I remember. After that, I did question adding the signature, but lawsuits in the US are still ongoing and with Facebook being in litigation right now due to torrenting Anna’s Archive give me… some hope (despite the current political situation).
despite the current political situation
Yeesh. Yeah, kinda of a surreal time we’re in right now.
Thanks for the article, I’ll have to read it later on. Mind if I get back to you after?

Sure dude. Your response will be in my inbox, so I won’t miss it :)
The policy allows AI to use any data “regardless of whether it is for non-profit or commercial purposes, whether it is an act other than reproduction, or whether it is content obtained from illegal sites or otherwise.”
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
I’ve been to Japan quite a lot. My wife’s half Japanese, and was born there. So we go to visit family often.
After all these years, everything I’ve learned about them and their culture. Still, all the time I’m blown away by the crazy dichotomies. Often a leader in technology. But if you needed a Koseki (family register, fills a similar niche as a birth certificate but more nuanced) up until really not that long ago, as far as my wife knew, you could go in person, send a registered mail request/application, or send it by fax.
Buy so many different things from vending machines, amazing cell service almost everywhere, even in the middle of nowhere…but almost all transactions are cash only.Despite having the world’s third-largest economy, Japan’s economic growth has been sluggish since the 1990s. Japan has the lowest per-capita income in the G-7. With the effective implementation of AI, it could potentially boost the nation’s GDP by 50% or more in a short time. For Japan, which has been experiencing years of low growth, this is an exciting prospect.
Personally doubt. I have the personal opinion that we’re seeing a bubble. Kinda like Tulips. ML algorithms are definitely useful for a lot of (very specific) things, but it’s like NFTs, slap AI-ish buzzwords in there, add a couple zeros to the end of the figure on the bill, and laugh all the way to the bank.
Western data access is also key to Japan’s AI ambitions. The more high-quality training data available, the better the AI model. While Japan boasts a long-standing literary tradition, the amount of Japanese language training data is significantly less than the English language resources available in the West. However, Japan is home to a wealth of anime content, which is popular globally. It seems Japan’s stance is clear – if the West uses Japanese culture for AI training, Western literary resources should also be available for Japanese AI.
AHEM …HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSHSHSHSHAHHAHAHSHHSGDBDJXUEBRJEUEBDJDU!
YARRRRRR! AVAST YE SCURVY SEADOG-CHAN!
Fuckin love it. So very Japanese.
Buddy. Thanks so much for linking that article. Informative and hilarious. Was a really good read. I think asking about the Anti Commercial-AI License was the best decision I made today. Hooooooo. That second to last section (last quoted) had me in stitches. If you remember any other articles, or ever decide to do that write up (can’t remember, blog? 🤔) one day, hit me up. I get the sample size is miniscule, but I’d be interested in reading stuff you find interesting.
He’s a clout goblin, doesn’t give a shit about workers and just wants visibility
Republicans have no issue suggesting some people oughta be killed though, including the current idiot-in-chief.
Hypocritical projecting evil pieces of shit, including every single fucktwat that votes for them.
Lmao the cut off twitch chat message
She cut on my med till i care
This is the leftist talk show streamer’s fifth ban
Doesn’t a ban imply a ban, i.e. permanent removal? This seems like a suspension.
Twitch does this quite often, I don’t know why they get called bans either. Nonpermanent “bans” are a thing, but in the case of a widely used service like Twitch I think it’d make more sense to call them suspensions like you said.
Suspensions doesn’t really work well in this context, they’re temp bans - an account being suspended means frozen
That’s not what happens here. It’s effectively temporarily removed - subscriptions aren’t paused, they’re refunded
Suspended also might come with implications - maybe something is under review, maybe you haven’t used it for too long and have to reactivate it, maybe you are limited to things you can do with it. It implies action on your part
Ban means go away. Temp ban means go away for a while. And they want that message - they don’t want people to appeal or their followers on twitch to mass email them
I think the real problem is bans get lifted, we hear it happen fairly often. So we have perma bans, which means “seriously, you’re banned forever, we’re destructively altered your account”
So ban is now gaining a conditional implication
Lemmy also has this!
Nonpermanent “bans” are a thing
I mean from a linguistic perspective. A ban is permanent (or at least long-term in the since that it might take a very long time for a ban to be removed).
Yeah, I was really confused when the game Brighter Shores first entered early access with its initial aggressive chat moderation system (because it’s out of the UK law and the liability on their part is insane I guess) and a bunch of people were like “seriously? I got banned for this.”
Nobody was getting banned, they were getting temporarily muted and calling it a ban.
I feel like “ban” is a term that used to have a really clear meaning: you can no longer use this service. Now, it seems like that word is increasingly being abused to just mean: the service stopped me from doing something I wanted to do.
It means you are not allowed any more. We can use temp ban or timeout or mute etc. For the same. If we want to specify forever, we can say perma ban.
I imagine these online platforms have various gradations of bans and suspensions, but I haven’t modded anything since 2007 so I wouldn’t know
I guess that’s the line? When he was promoting terrorism and dehumanizing Jews he was Twitch’s golden boy.
I’m a has an hater but this ban was bullshit. Right wingers are so quick to ban anything they don’t like.
Rule 8? This has nothing to do with PC gaming. Glad he got banned though, fuck 'em.
