Meanwhile, ai companies that are doing exactly the same are allowed to rack up billions in revenue.
“It’s American for profit corporation, not a Russian cybercriminal!”

Until now the stance was “rofl in Brazil C&Ds are a waste of money”, so the bribe option makes sense.
Suppose that they calculate $1 million in legal costs in order to take the case to a court, then offering something like $200k to delete the repo is a big saving.
The dev of simple mobile apps sold millions of users to an ad company for just $30k which was almost pennies if we think how popular those apps were in the Foss community
Now, backups of the code are widely available, will the development continue without the main dev? Suyu (fork of yuzu) made almost no progress since the fork
The dev got bribed (or threatened) by Nintendo to manually delete the repo. GitHub this time didn’t do anything
It would exclusively work for competitive eSports.
Many people play just for fun, don’t want to focus on teamwork
Probably Google just wants to block them not because they care about the creators but because it’s costing them bandwidth money.
From the new agreement that they had with warner bros for creating closed captions, it looks like Google is also stealing the subs for training, they had direct access
It just sucks that someone pays hundreds of dollars to have a human create subs for a show, then that is used without credit or permission for training a model (actually whisper accidentally credits moments of silence with the name of the subbing groups used for training)
it’s better than i expected, I assumed it was a sweatshop situation reading comments from smaller authors like the one of “emmy the robot” that had to stop because they didn’t share the ad revenue anymore
I’d be shocked if it was a percentage higher than 10%
Yes, not only for this. I have two in my reading list that have the ending permanently locked after completion, the change is recent
Of course, the minimum package is 52 coins which isn’t divisible by 3, 5 or 7 (pricing is variable according to the series)
A note: I’m fine with paying, if it was known from the beginning. But bait&switch enrages me.
I like to use it on my 4k monitor, the super tiny buttons make me super nostalgic
It was never Foss
It’s now source available
Stealing, without the quotation marks. If you copy something and profit off it without crediting, compensating or asking permission to who paid for it, it’s stealing. We can’t downplay it as “but they just downloaded 700k hours of videos and 200k pirated books for training a simple model that they’re charging users $20 a month, what’s the issue”
If you copy something for personal enjoyment without profiting from it, then it’s not stealing.
I feel it’s just a side effect of them trying to block ai companies stealing large amounts of videos for training models. They see too many downloads from a datacenter IP address and require user login to continue
Openai’s whisper often recognizes mangled words as “please like and subscribe” so they’re actively stealing videos and their subs (the manually created ones by companies like “caption+ by js”, which creators paid hundreds of dollars to make, not the free ones made by Google automatic transcriber or whisper itself) to improve their models so they can make profit
Not only invidious I guess, they want the user to login when too many videos has been watched on an IP address. So also web browsers on a VPN for example
You mean the one that used to be called tomato? (Forgot how it’s called now)
It never gave me any image that was bigger than 1000 pixel in width. I could get a very similar result with the Google images thumbnail + waifu2x
I never had them working, the result that they were giving was a very low quality image. Like if they just downloaded the free thumbnail and passed it through waifu2x
It makes sense
In the serie A let me see what they can do with that money… Uhm the Juventus can’t even pay for Dusan Vlahovic (he gets €12 million - net per season)
as of now, nobody took the place of yuzu devs, for example
suyu (the most famous yuzu fork) got just 50 commits in the last 6 months and are almost all of them are tiny changes to the readme where they only change the discord link or just memes
