       @davidrevoy I really wonder how we, as human beings, will handle this AI augmented future. I expect it will often make us think about how we evaluate certain things. For example: Do we like a painting because its pretty? because it tells a story? because it inspires our imagination? or maybe because of its history? how it was created or by whom? Humans have always built tools to extend their abilities and to overcome their limitations but how long will it take to get used to these new tools?

       @lonelyowl @davidrevoy In general I have to agree. A fundamental technique of our species is to learn by copying and no copyright law can, will or should ever prevent that. Now the way these AI systems are trained is obviously not ok either, especially if companies make an effort to remove watermarks, deliberately ignore the rights of creators and sell the result.The question is where do we draw the line? Would it be ok to train a system on photos of protected art? When is the result unique?

       @lonelyowl @davidrevoy Most likely they could, but are probably smart enough to realize it is free advertising for their games and that's where they earn the money. Disney probably would though 😅.This whole topic of copyright laws is incredibly tricky, but I still think a company with the intention to build a system that is technically able to create art in a specific style has to get permission to use images of the artist they want to mimic or find alternatives.

       @lazarus @aral @bugaevc Can you name a browser made by a small company that is not based on Chromium, Firefox or WebKit and that is actually good? 😅 I'm not saying there is none but I don't know one. Working on a browser would be my personal nightmare btw, it's endlessly complex 🙈

       @lazarus @aral @bugaevc I don't think its fair to compare a browser that hasn't been updated for 10 years with anything good today. Icab is based on WebKit since v4 according to Wikipedia (and Safari on v6?). Both are likely not battletested by millions of devs. Maybe we should clarify what a "good" browser is first. For me it is a browser that supports modern web standards, is fast, efficient and has few bugs. By this standard Safari barely makes the cut btw 😆
