If I submit code to ReactOS that was trained on leaked Microsoft Windows code, what are the legal implications?

None. There is a good chance that leaked MS code found its way into training data, anyway.

Fair enough. We have pain receptors all over our internal organs, and I can't figure out what they are good for. Maybe teach us to avoid blunt force trauma?

I think our ancestors cracked nuts with their teeth. I think those nerves might help to get that right.

Hey everyone! We have this skyscraper sized tank of hydrogen and oxidizer! Who wants to sit on top when we light it on fire?

You mean legally? Yeah, no problem. It depends on the location, though. In the EU, the rights-holder can opt out. So if you want to do it in the EU you have to pay off Reddit, Meta, and so on. In Japan, it's fine regardless. In the US, it should turn out similarly, but it's up to the courts to work out the details, and it's quite up in the air if you can trust the system to work.

The usual tends to be that the platform can do basically whatever. That shouldn't really be surprising. But I see your point. If you literally want consent, not just legally licensed material, then you need more than just a clause in the TOS.

You could raise the same issue with permissively licensed material. People who released it may not have foreseen AI training as a use, and might not have wanted to actually allow it.

The scope of this opinion is indeed limited to the implementation by large online platforms (which are defined for the purposes of this opinion)

The law doesn't distinguish between cookies and other means of local storage.

It's not banned. Meta isn't allowed to use that option, because it has monopoly power. IE in the view of the court, you can't avoid using Meta. For any ordinary site, there is always the option to refuse either and leave.

For example. Bear in mind that each animal needs to figure that out on its own as it grows up. Have you heard about humans who are unable to feel pain? Very rare congenital condition. Doctors remove their baby teeth or else they will chew up their tongue and mouth. That's the sort of thing you need to think about.

A number of animals, birds especially, swallow rocks to help them grind up food in their intestine.

Swim bladders evolved from lungs. You wouldn't think that something that makes the fishies better ocean divers originally evolved to let them breathe air.

It's important to not destroy your teeth. For wild animals, that means starvation. Given that you can't have nerves right in the enamel, it makes sense to have nerves lower down and make them very sensitive. I have the pet theory that we evolved to hate that teeth grinding sound for exactly the same reason.

If those nerves were vestigial, they really should have disappeared by now.

For images, yes. Most notable is probably Adobe. Their AI, which powers photoshop's generative fill among other things, is trained on public domain and licensed works.

For text, there's nothing similar. LLMs get better the more data you have. So, the less training data you use, the less useful they are. I think there are 1 or a few small models for research purposes, but it really doesn't get you there.

Of course, such open source projects are tricky. When you take these extreme, maximalist views of (intellectual) property, then giving stuff away for free isn't the obvious first step.

Hmm. Something about it feels just wrong to me. I'm fairly sure, though, that it's a gut feeling and nothing logical. Because teeth on the outside? Because sensory organs in teeth? IDK.

Ehh. It took me a while, too, and I wrote it. Seriously though. What kind of sick evolutionary history is that? This is worse than the whole swim bladder thing. At least that doesn't make me uncomfortable.

It does?

I think it's a reply to my incredulous "what?!"

Big fail. That has grenadine in it, which is non-alcoholic.

So, how do you make a TS? I'm guessing it starts with breaking an egg.

That won an Ig Nobel, IIRC.

And quartz, of course.
