I’m not a lawyer, but I find the dismissive tone in the article misleading. The article quotes a former lawyer who says that a more simplified version of terms retains the same amount of rights for companies providing services - specifically regarding AI/ML. I’m not convinced. We are probably going to see a lot of litigation and legislation about this kind of thing in the future. It is reasonable for users to protect themselves right now.

Apparently the TOS can be edited at any time to say anything without notice.

It’s worth mentioning that per this agreement they can still do almost anything else with that data. They could put your face up on a billboard if they wanted to.

I’m out. I was a paying user. Can’t run fast enough from ever doing business with them again.

Is following this kind of info a hobby of yours? I find it fascinating, but I can’t imagine how learning enough to have a truly informed opinion about these topics could be actually useful to me.

I’d like to read more about this, has it been documented or analyzed in any organized way via books/research, etc. that is available?

They are all used now, unfortunately.

How can one get an invite to Tildes? Looks like a friendly place, reminds me of a slightly older internet :)

This is a plot point in the Orson Scott Card novel 'Ender's Game'. Ender plays a generative video game on an iPad-like device that responds to his decisions and incorporates people/events from his personal life, to the point of manipulating his subconscious thoughts and dreams.

A game like this could be interesting, but you would not be able to discuss it with others as a shared experience that has fixity the way you can with any modern media, and it could certainly be used to manipulate people.

Thanks, I see that there is more info in this article too. I mistakenly thought this post was an older article that I had already read about her.

Been listening to these songs for quite a while now - amazing songwriting. A mysterious, tragic tale, too.

On Spotify there is an album called “Connie’s Piano Songs” that purport to be through-composed (as in, pen to paper notated music) art songs. I’ve unsuccessfully tried to find more info about them and there don’t seem to be any scores are available. I’d be interested if anyone has any more information about them or has the scores. Part of me wonders if they are actually songs about Connnie Converse and not composed by her…
