Reposted by Michael Paulauski♨️Zoomer Antimillenarian @surcomplicated.bsky.social · 35mChinese censorship of LLMs is first and foremost accomplished by intercepting prompts and responses and preventing politically incorrect ones from getting through. Because the actual models very often know the truth and the more advanced the model the harder it is to prevent this. 3324
Reposted by Michael Paulauski♨️Zoomer Antimillenarian @surcomplicated.bsky.social · 36mIf I had to guess, the obvious reason for this is that an LLM simply does not fucking tire. It will always be ready for an other round of argument, it will always be able to dig into whatever dumb rabbit hole you want to pivot to. You have to fucking kneecap it to stop it from doing these things. 7679

Michael Paulauski♨️ @mike10010100.com · 32mFurthermore, § 401(d) notice only defeats an innocent infringement defense—it does NOT automatically prove "willful infringement." Under Supreme Court precedent (Campbell v. Acuff-Rose), a good-faith fair use defense defeats willfulness even if you shout "I DO NOT CONSENT" at the sky. 100
Michael Paulauski♨️ @mike10010100.com · 32mYou’re conflating copyright existence with remedies. Under 17 U.S.C. § 412, you are legally barred from seeking statutory damages ($150k) without registering your works with the US Copyright Office prior to infringement.
