I just don’t see the use of self hosting these just for myself. I guess that’s why so little people do this?

What are some interesting things to host?

funded by an actual business.

You’re talking like that’s a good thing?

Multiple ways.

Companies can completely erase the idea of ownership. If everything is subscription-based, they can simply stop the subscription and have no further obligations.

Or Europe just gets completely locked out of functionality, as already happens in some European countries.

Of course good things can come from this, but I’ve read here several times that this just isn’t a good proposition and might just lead to the anti-consumer practices disappearing in a negative way too.

Or kill it completely. The only reason I’ve held off signing this is that the wording is so vague that it could work in favor of gaming companies. I’d rather not see that.

It’s a web app wrapped in Tauri. So basically a desktop app, but the web app can be hosted too.

I’ve read through your links. They don’t have much to do with the codebase itself, but with protecting the trademarks.

From what I read, you’re free to change whatever you want. You just can’t go around using their trademarked names for your modified version.

It also raises red flags about what they (hopefully don’t) have in mind for the future

No, you have it the other way around. It means copyright owners can share “corrupted” versions of their works and the AI can still use it. Possible AI leaks won’t return the original work, since it was never used.

Of course I think this is only one aspect of why artists wouldn’t share their works, but it’s not the point the paper is trying to make. They’re just giving an aspect of how it could be useful.

It’s not what the paper is about at all, seems this is just shit journalism again.

All the paper says about copyright is that this method is more secure because AI can sometimes spit out training examples.

Old railway lines in Europe often aren’t complete anymore and only cover relatively small distances.

There simply isn’t enough infrastructure to handle a full train network and fixing them up would probably require existing infrastructure and buildings to be disowned and destroyed.

The wheel is just there during the testing phase as a backup, seems the final pods don’t have it, as it would make the idea useless.
