My entire premise hinges on the fact that these papers agree with me.

I work with AI every day at my job. My buddy is a literal AI researcher and we hobby-build together too.

I’m not concerned with what you think is “objective truth” when you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Yes this is an argument in my favor, you just don’t understand AI/LLMs enough to know why.

That’s certainly an opinion you have

the people stealing data

No one is doing this

Output doesn’t matter since it’s pretty well settled it’s not derivative work

Cool, discussion over.

I agree. For instance, it should be secured in law that you can train AI on anything, to avoid frivolous discussions like this.

Output is what should be moderated by law.

If it’s not a violation of copyright then this is a non-issue. You don’t need permission to read books.

at their expense

How?

Why do you have free reign to do the same?

AIs don’t learn as a human would, and comparisons can’t be made between the learning processes.

I think you’re going to have a hard time proving a financial distinction between them

There’s a third solution you’re overlooking.

3: OpenAI (or other) wins a judgment that AI content is not inherently a violation of copyright regardless of materials it is trained upon.

Dude there is a universe worth of difference between eating at a restaurant and being asked to tip like, a good truck or some shit.

Baristas post on their social media about giving non-tippers decaf all the time.

I’m completely unaware of this, and this is stupid.

You tip people who live on tips for a living, and in places of high, but not elite, quality.

This is literally my ideal world.

You personally have sex maybe 20 times with various peers before you reach your 18th birthday.

But surely this is already the norm, yeah? Who is sexually active and has sex less than 20 times? Did you mean 20 partners?

They’re not replicating OF, their advertising their OF, and there’s nothing about twitch or these streams that explicitly advertises to children.

When you sell something to someone, you’re not exploiting them. You’ve got some terms mixed up here.

You could make similar arguments about gambling being a moral panic and they shouldn’t ban that on the site.

I mean yeah, banning gambling is weird as fuck and just creates black markets

For further clarity on why this was a funny mixup, to anyone who sees this, Plex is also a thing, but it is a very different thing, just with a very similar name.

I don’t understand how any of this is a problem. Just, like, parent your fuckin kids.

This is one step from “take the books out of libraries” level of paternalism

It’s “how little can I tip before they tamper with my food”

Normal people never, ever think this.

Uh… what about the people actually paying the tip? How on earth is it beneficial for the person paying more money for the level of service they should be getting regardless? How is that extra $3 more important to the server than to the person losing it?

This is the crux of the argument. You’d be paying this anyway, because servers won’t take the job for less money. No matter how you slice it, you’re spending this same amount of money.

You’re fine with some industries getting minimum wage, you just think you personally deserve more

I currently make over 6 figures and am no longer serving, because I’m nearing 40, so yes obviously some jobs are worth more than others.

I hope one day you learn to redirect your frustration to the cheap ass boss who thinks an hour of your sweat is worth $2 so he can keep the other $8

This is not how any business works, much less restaurants.

You’re not in favour of tipping because it’s the morally right thing to do, or because you altruistically support hard workers. You’re in favour of it because you personally make a shit ton more money.

I’m in favor of it because it helps everyone involved. There is no one that tipping is bad for.

This is really the heart of it. I’m sorry but no role is more deserving of tips than another. Everyone deserves a living wage paid by their employer.

All wages are paid by consumers. If the price of going to a restaurant increases by 25% and servers aren’t tipped, I assure you that every person involved is having a worse experience

People will go to restaurants less, more restaurants will fail, fewer people will work as servers, and they’ll work longer hours (similar to BOH). You can see this played out in countries that do not tip - and also with jobs like catering that generally do not focus on topping for service.

What won’t happen is the restaurant owners themselves won’t be paying servers more from their own pocket. This is also observable anywhere tipping isn’t a thing

Idk what meme or podcast or whatever convinced people that tipping culture is bad, but absolutely none of the arguments make any sense. If they did, I could be persuaded, but most points are just completely ignorant of the reality of working in a restaurant and the rest seem like they’re specifically designed to manipulate you.

It’s on employers to pay their employees a fair wage

This one being the most obviously manipulative
