can we agree that the "cannot make decisions" part is nonsense?
dogs make decisions, but owners are responsible. wild dogs have no accountable owners, but we probably don't have truly wild ai agents yet. with computer viruses, it's usually a developer who's blamed, not the one who executes a virulent program without proper isolation. so what should define accountability for agents? authorship, intent, compute ownership?
> I'll soon write a tiny "AI derivation prohibited" side by side to my Creative Commons licenses, and everywhere I can. I'll start this update from today, and backport it to previous artworks and comics, but it might take time.
these licenses are irrevocable and you can't just "backport" additional restrictions
You can't revoke the old ones, you can choose to only communicate new ones with the restrictions though, and make it other peoples problem to figure out if there's another more permissive license available for that particular work...
For CC By-Sa works the new one might also not be strictly less permissive, because applying the restriction should allow people deriving derivatives to do the same via the share alike clause when they previously couldn't (though I didn't actually check the wording this person is using so this is just assuming the restriction is applied like I think it ought to be).
I wasted many minutes on this, but I'm pretty sure that yes, he can. Creative commons is just a boilerplate to get you started in an actual litigation, not itself binding (especially not their FAQ page). If he only displays his comics with these captions, anyone who ignores them will now very likely be liable under french law.
AFAICT the only thing that could possibly change this is if he explicitly passed his "moral rights" to another person, but obviously that doesn't apply here. CC-BY 4.0 contains this clause, but I don't think you can just be made to "agree to waive" these rights, as "to the extent possible" hints at:
Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
You can’t backport additional restrictions to a CC licence, but you can publish the same work under a new licence. Naturally that won’t stop anyone from using the work under terms of the old licence if they know about it, but it might discourage people (and in fantastical theory, bots) who don’t.
Another point is that any updates to existing works will only be available under the new licence. This might seem irrelevant to drawings and paintings, but the author has on occasion made changes to his older works for one reason or another, so at least the resulting newer versions would be protected by the additional terms (assuming they’re legally in the clear, of course).
uh, also writing it next to cc sounds like a dumb idea, as it makes it a bit of a legal hell? like as long as its not an explicit exception to the cc license like llvm does with their license this seems pretty ambiguous what license really applies here
This is what happens when people are stuck at thinking in one solution (LLMs on everything) when research means you have to try and experiment on undiscovered and already discovered ideas.
Now Jev is all the hype, taken over from silly experiments on fly brains.
thanks for sharing! it would be interesting to see more of such objects in the wild. living their own weird lives. a cheap solar panel should make it quite autonomous
you're likely a founder or employee posting about your commercial product. and what you post can be classified as misleading commercial practice. so in theory, yes. in practice - who knows. your website copy also claims: "no signup required" which is false, don't you think?
I'm developing a similar open-source app for statistical modeling and inference in the browser: https://statsim.com. You can create probabilistic models and then infer their parameters using algorithms such as MCMC or Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. The app is still in beta but it might be useful. Some models: https://github.com/statsim/models
