It pretty funny that US congress thinks China needs US money to make progress in a industry, any industry. An china has kept up with AI simply because why Nvidia newest chips might make it cheaper and faster to train models, old hardware will do just fine, it will just takes longest and need more money. An most of the major breakthroughs in AI by the likes of Google an other companies and universities has been and publish online before US started it cracked down.

Re: Having trouble getting my head around what exactly is at issue here
They seem to claim that the images were copied on to a seperate harddrive and then use to train the AI, Stability AI doesn't seem to deny that, in fact they seem to be saying the responsibility for this issue doesn't lay with them, that lays with a non profit in Germany where they obtain their training data from.
Brit bendy chip firm Pragmatic scores funding to boost production
Re: Alternatively ...
The intuitive I tried to apply for, the people who was running it and the government who set up lack common sense, they wanted me to attend a meeting up in Ipswich because I live in Essex I come under East England and Ipswich which is 2hrs by public transport was their closest offices, instead of one 30 minutes away from me because that office pot of funding was dedicated to people who live in London/South East.
An that was a 4hr round travel for a 30 minutes introductory meeting, there would have to be other meetings as well.

Bezos v Branson: Battle of the wannabe Space Barons as Virgin Galactic cleared by FAA to start flying customers
Re: Of the two,
You say that but Branson is now working with Rolls Royce and Reaction Engines on producing a engine for his Mach 3 supersonic jet.
It no guarantee but I could eventually this partnership being expanded to include the construction of a SSTO vehicle at some point, after Virgin Galactic has run it sub orbital service for a couple of years and is turning over a profit.
I also think it only a matter of time before Virgin Galactic is merge back with Virgin orbit.
Also someone other than me has got to be thinking Virgin Galactic and stratolaunch would be another good merger with such a aircraft capable of handling Virgin Orbit launches and possible multiple SpaceShipTwo-class suborbital rockets at once all with the same vehicle.

UK govt reboots A Level exam results after computer-driven fiasco: Now teacher-predicted grades will be used after all
Re: Too late for some.
Universities will now have to review their chosen students some pupils who were awarded better grades than their mocks will now have only their mocks grade which might not be good enough for that university. Expect a lot of changes and a lot of anger. Luckily for universities they have got a slight get out of jail free card in that the number of foreign students are expected to be low, freeing up spaces for english students this year.

Rip and replace is such a long Huawei to go, UK telcos plead, citing 'blackouts' and 'billion pound' costs: Are Vodafone and BT playing 'Project Fear'?
All sides in this debate is playing project fear card.
Fact is, if the chinese want to spy on us they are going to spy on us, Britain not having a huawei of our own going around installing gear on mobile networks around the world didn't stop GCHQ from hacking country wide mobile phone systems , it isn't going to stop the chinese. This is why GCHQ just don't about what equipment they use, they know if they can hack anything, the chinese can.

You would lose any such vote. No under the stupid rules you put in place but under rules that would be written by the electoral commission and where someone who isn't making a vote is presume to vote no, I might not turn up to vote but I have no problem with the technology.
Re: Keep a straight face.
I presume he meant cctv that is monitor live by human operators, who can then manually track the user across the area of cameras they have access to. In this way it no less intrusive than a live human operated camera feeds that are run by super markets and many other venues. Or indeed many of London own cctv cameras are now monitor live by human operators.
