8 days agoI personally like the Buddhist version, the 5 precepts. There’s quite a bit of overlap, but one interesting difference is that as far as I know they’re not framed as commandments, but rather as guidelines to be voluntarily undertaken if you wish to reduce suffering in the world.
Public Domain does not mean being able to see something without a barrier in the way. The vast majority of text and media you can consume for free on the Internet is not in the Public Domain.
Instead, “Public Domain” means that 1) the creator has explicitly released it into the Public Domain, or 2) the work’s copyright has expired, which in turn then means that anyone is from that point on entitled to use that work for any purpose.
All the major AI models scarfed up works without concern for copyrights, licenses, permissions, etc. For great profit. In some cases, like at least Meta, they knowingly used known collections of pirated works to do so.
