Fines should actually impact companies, not just be another cost of doing business. By imposing a high dollar value fine per violation, regardless of frequency of violation, companies may actually be incentivized to stop breaking the law in order to continue existing

    The upshot is that no higher court has ruled, so the Munich judgment is not binding precedent, but lower courts such as Aachen are already following it.

    This sentence sure does read like the author is glad the judgement isn't binding, as opposed to lower courts following it.

    If Google was updating Wikipedia and falsely accusing somebody of sex crimes on their Wikipedia pages, I think you could expect that Google would get sued in that situation, as well. It's really about the source of the information.

    Things I want to see in a commit message before an autogenerated dissection of the diff:

    • What you ate for lunch
    • Were you grumpy this morning
    • Was your cat an asshole and drop something from a kitchen table
    • Is green better colour than blue
    • Did you hurry when typing the commit message
    • afasfsafdas

    I can understand the diff, but I can't understand your reasoning and anything that gives me an inkling of your mind is better than rewording the diff.

    Make it a recurring subscription instead.

    10% of yearly revenue global for making a machine that lies (in a legally-compromising way) once per year. You want a lie per month? That will be 120% of your revenue for that year.

    The numbers can be tweaked, but it should not be tolerated. Were I to misbehave and say what Google's "AI" said, I would be in much more trouble than that.

    Its the same as the SaaS revolution. The accountability is outsourced and everyone can just shrug. Same as police violence. Homeless camp gets disrupted and now there is a flower patch...huh. If no one is responsible, than no one has to be responsible.

    I fully agree, but the thing here is this doctor who was accused of a sex crime he didn't commit. They can't simply throw out a chatbot without a human being to be held accountable. This is one of the major threats of LLMs in my opinion: the danger isn't the LLM itself, but its creator's attempt to reject any human responsibility.

    For a company earning $403 billion in annual net income, €250,000 is just another budgeted operating expense. Fines should always be based on annual worldwide revenue.

    you don't get paid

    Actually, it is about commercial value obtained from using GPL'd S/W (I don't know why any volunteer would have wanted to donate S/W to corporates!). But some of the GPL'y projects atleast had self-interested funding of developers (by, e.g. Redhat). OSS'y S/W has had much less of that.

    If you look at steps like the OIN, they tried to share IP amongst corporates rather than costs, so corporates do play along when they have to. Nothing like that happened for GPL'y or OSS'y S/W. LLM training is probably a licensing violation, and also the biggest possible leeching.

    Sure, a "normie" using GPL'd S/W is on point, because volunteers donated their skills for that purpose. That part of the commons worked.

    This is basically the same problem as project names.

    You can find a lot of made up words that don't mean anything in mythology for example. Take names from gods (Greek+roman+norse will probably already get to 100.

    Animals or desserts (like android) may appear in pictures. You can add mythical creatures to your list of gods though. Probably won't encounter a minotaur in your photos
