I feel you. Sometime i want to play white noise or lullaby to my baby on the speaker while listening to podcasts on the buds, but one pauses the other. It's an unnecessary software limitation.

On a related note, it used to be possible to use a splitter to connect two sets of earbuds to watch a movie together on a plane. It's not possible now with Bluetooth, you can output sound to only one device.

Under screen fingerprint reader (pixel 7 pro) . It's a downgrade from reader on the back of the phone (pixel 5). It's slower, less accurate, and worst of all, at night it often results in being flashed with a bright light.

I thought it'd be more convenient having the reader on the front, so i can unlock the phone without lifting it, but most of the time it's a nuisance because i doesn't work as well.

What do you mean that the search engines contain minimal amount of site's data? Obviously it needs to index all contents to make it searchable. If you search for keywords within an article, you can find the article, therefore all of it needs to be indexed.

Indexing is nothing more than "presenting data to the algorithm" so it'd be against the law to index a site under your proposed legislation.

Wrong. The infringement is in obtaining the data and presenting it to the AI model during the training process. It makes no difference that the original work is not retained in the model's weights afterwards.

This is an interesting take, I'd be inclined to agree, but you're still facing the problem of how to distinguish training AI from indexing for search purposes. I'm afraid you can't have it both ways.

What would be achieved by peace talks? Putin will dig deeper into the lands they occupy and get more time to rebuild their army and strike even harder. It's been proven that he can't be trusted.

I'd be careful with the "always" part. There was a famous case involving Katy Perry where a single chord was sued over as copyright infringement. The case was thrown out on appeal, but I do not doubt that some pretty wild cases have been upheld as copyright violations (see "patent troll").

Are you really trying to argue against a point by providing evidence supporting it?

What do you think "ingesting" means if not learning?

Bear in mind that training AI does not involve copying content into its database, so copyright is not an issue. AI is simply predicting the next token /word based on statistics.

You can train AI in a book and it will give you information from the book - information is not copyrightable. You can read a book a talk about its contents on TV - not illegal if you're a human, should it be illegal if you're a machine?

There may be moral issues on training on someone's hard gathered knowledge, but there is no legislature against it. Reading books and using that knowledge to provide information is legal. If you try to outlaw Automating this process by computers, there will be side effects such as search engines will no longer be able to index data.

Was this on Darknet Diaries? I must have missed that ep. Sounds interesting.

The times doesn't pay you royalties for your book sales, and it doesn't cost you anything. They also detect if someone is messing with the system and display a dagger symbol if you are found to inflate your numbers.

The crime isn't in publishing AI music. The crime was that he setup fake listeners streaming his songs so he could get royalties and inflate popularity. Initially he published his own songs, but to scale up and avoid detection he started creating music at scale - That's where AI Comes in.

Smith's scheme, which prosecutors say ran for seven years, involved creating thousands of fake streaming accounts using purchased email addresses. He developed software to play his AI-generated music on repeat from various computers, mimicking individual listeners from different locations. In an industry where success is measured by digital listens, Smith's fabricated catalog reportedly managed to rack up billions of streams.

You can. Airport regulations have no bearing on fiction, and the movie does not need to be set in present time either.
