A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So works derived from other works should not be copyrightable? Oh wait, that's specifically allowed. As long as it's not being reproduced 1:1 then it falls under fair use. The argument that one should get paid for that is absurd. You can't copyright the idea of something. If that were the case then you could never write another poem or novel or short story because someone already did that and to do so would be "stealing." It would be ridiculous.
You have really meandered off the path of what I was talking about. But please, meander. It's interesting.
Well, that's what the person you replied to was saying. Essentially the "AI" is only reading the book, it's not copying the book.
I could rewrite the entire Lord of the rings series in my own words and it wouldn't be copyright infringement. I could sit there with the movies on repeat and the books all open for reference, I don't owe the rights holder anything in that case, as long as I'm but reproducing their work.
They’re just trolling. Feel free to block and ignore, it’s the best way of dealing with them until moderation is more reliable.
When you applied to join Beehaw you agreed to our standards, right? Please don't be a dick on here, OK?
I might have applied and i wasn't being a dick. you removed my comment because why? you think the lord of the rings was written for grown-ups or something? time to test you and see how outlandish you can be. i'll think twice about participating here. not a safe place for me when I haven't said anything wrong. fortunately for me, technology isn't my specialty. it's literature. so, say goodbye to me from your community. also, didn't appreciate your insult. I'm from the community you're from. the comment from the other person came from another instance. you have nothing to worry about. in technology you won't hear a peep from me, because I learned how this place works. humanities and cultural literacy is not appreciated here.
Yeah, sorry, you've been interacting in bad faith in this entire thread. We will not allow that kind of behaviour here.
You gotta speak to your audience.
What is this person's audience? I'm not it. I guess they should have not picked me. LMAO. Poor kid. I just want to give the poor kid a huge hug, bake some Nestle Toll House cookies, and we can Netflix and chill to the whole Lord of the Rings plus the Hobbit. You know, because I have a heart, and this person needs this. Not that I'd enjoy any of it, I'd just be totally sacrificing my whole identity in favor, just to be helpful and all. LMAO
@LastOneStanding @SkepticElliptic ok but YA is more likely to have interesting queer relationships as far as stuff that I can find in a library or at a bookstore. All the adult queer literature tends to be sold online and the authors themselves have to do most of the promoting.
