True story ; In Australia Hormel were ordered to withdraw an advertising campaign featuring the song "Spam - it's real spiced ham !" because Spam is not ham and doesn't contain any spices...

A Datsun B210 weighed 750 kg. The dashboard was made from carboard and the thin metal skin was only one layer thick, the inside trim was made from cardboard.

It didn't break out of any sandbox, it was trained on BSD vulnerabilities and then told what to look for.

According to sources, the scheme worked like this: someone fed YouTube videos of Campbell performing to an AI engine, which then replicated her voice and instrumental style. That fabricated music was then distributed across platforms using a company called Vydia.

Vydia then proceeded to file copyright claims against the original source videos on Campbell’s own YouTube channel, the same videos that had been used to teach the AI to sound like her in the first place.

Because YouTube’s copyright claim system operates without individual human review of each dispute, Campbell’s channel was effectively handed over to Vydia’s financial control. “I am no longer making money on YouTube,” she said. “Vydia is making money on YouTube off of my own videos of me playing my own banjo in my own backyard with traditional folk songs, some for my own family, over AI-generated music.”

What was made up ?

Someone uploaded a Datsun B210 commercial to YT, and was contacted by a person demanding $15000 for the video as they had "claimed" copyright on material "that Nissan had released into the public domain".

  • you can't claim copyright on public domain material.
  • Nissan never released the copyright.

Nevertheless, YT blocked the video for "copyright violation".

Mississippi and Alabama have petro-chemical industries (and defence) that pay handsomely. They have some of the highest wage levels in the Union.

There's nothing in the constitution that prevents Bible Studies from being mandatory, it's existed in the past.

 

They've just changed the format of Reddit and now there is no way to set the country for feeds. It just uses "everywhere" which is 90% Indian bot posts. I can't really use old Reddit on my phone.
