  • The issue with this definition is that it’s overly broad. For instance, a hash of a picture could not exist without that picture. Nor do certain downscalings, like 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4. There must be an exact pixel value you can legally downscale any image to without violating copyright. Similarly, there is a point where creating a book’s synopsis starts violating copyright and where a song sounds too similar to another one.

    And based on their size, LLMs - in my opinion - cannot possibly violate copyright for their source material because they couldn’t possibly store more than a couple of bits per work. Only works that occue frequently in the training data can actually be somewhat reproduced by LLMs.

    By the way, fair use doesn’t even exist in every - including my - jurisdiction.

    This has lead to people being successfully sued for copyright infringement because they posted pictures of their home online that contained a copyrighted wallpaper in the background.










  • And the worst part is: The murderer achieves every goal they sought to.

    Assuming an islamist motive, which is highly likely based on past attacks, there will be a significant increase in anti-Muslim discrimination. And islamists despise nothing more than Muslims successfully integrating into another society. After all, which cult does NOT prey upon vulnerable people and who is more vulnerable than someone experiencing constant discrimination?

    ETA:

    Turns out an islamist motive is highly unlikely, after other commenters pointed to an article that found the murderer shared anti-Muslim, far-right content online. Despite the tragedy, I’m genuinely relieved. This could’ve had devastating effects on the upcoming election.



  • If you can throw it out for one case you can throw it out for every case.

    Unlike the US, most countries in the EU - including France - have a justice system that is not attempting to maximize recidivism, which is why maximum sentences exist for every crime except murder.

    Furthermore, at least in Germany the constitutional court ruled that life sentences without the eligibility of parole violate human dignity as such sentences would take away all hope from prisoners which significantly harms them. I wouldn’t be surprised if France had similar rulings.
