Ubiquity stuff is entirely on-premises, their (optional) cloud service is strictly for auth and remote access. Highly recommended, not just for the privacy conscious. Their ecosystem is also relatively affordable (compared to Aruba and Ruckus) and a joy to setup and maintain. No subscriptions or recurring fees.

“Indeed, when ChatGPT is prompted, ChatGPT generates summaries of Plaintiffs’ copyrighted works—something only possible if ChatGPT was trained on Plaintiffs’ copyrighted works,” the complaint reads.

Or, hear me out for a minute, if critiques, summaries or discussions about the works were in the training data. Unless the authors want to claim nobody ever talks about their works on the internet…

That’s the thing with AI: Unless the model creator provides a complete breakdown of the training material, as Llama, RedPajama or Stable Diffusion do for example, it’s basically impossible to prove what exactly is or isn’t in the training dataset.

Most web companies never turned a profit and have business models that wouldn’t ever be profitable, endless growth propped up by venture capital was all they strived for. Then hope they get acquired or do an IPO and let somebody else hold the bag - basically a Ponzi scheme. Investors realised this doesn’t really work anymore, so the free money ran out. Also, the AI gold rush means VCs have something else to throw their money at.

Great idea! I think Lemmy and kbin could do with plugin systems, so instances could easily add something like this and other instance specific features if they want to.

There are also Servo and WebKit. Servo was kinda dead for a while, but the project was recently transferred to the Linux Foundation and revived by Igalia, with funding from Futurewei. Not suitable for daily use yet, but worth keeping an eye on. WebKit is of course used by Safari (which I guess makes it the second most used browser engine after Chromium), but also Epiphany on Linux. I’m not aware of any Windows browsers using WebKit. Fun fact: Chromium was forked from WebKit, which in turn was forked from KDE’s KHTML and KJS engines.
