Reading a bit while preparing our hairdressing subject.

Why won't springer journals have in their homepage, in big bold font, the price they charge for OPEN ACCESS? Took me a while to find it. For an academic in the Global South, 3000 usd is just completely out of the question!!!

Someone please compile all the "We can't possibly do X without Y" that are coming out in response to opeanai's claim that they cannot have Gpt without using copyrighted material!

This is going to be a challenge because the principle, not only the regulations, have to adapt. The case of software copyrighted as literature is interesting because it shows that even though its very different it Was easier Just to adapt what existed.

Veliz considers the use of such data to be problematic because it violates privacy. And then makes the point to broaden the notion of privacy. Your suggested use of Plagiaristic seems to go round that way also. How would it compare to such projects?

The law is not a side issue. Many countries have copyright that are human centred. Its intersting how for example software, books, and tradrmarks get protected by the law in virtue the understanding of what it is to create them.

But does it apply to any kind of AI training on data that is not 'cited'? It seems to hang on what status the relevant pattern has. Images seem to have patterns that can plausibly be Plagiaristic. Text as well? Less obvious and in cases like games liek chess or go? Stockfish is plagiaristic?

I dont even find the notiong of Plagiarism very usueful in an academic context. Id rather ralk about intellectual dishonesty (ie, getting a gohstwritter). Maybe useful in a legal context. Are you thinking of that sense?

Why think this?Plagiarism applies to agents, capable of neglecting or choosing not to cite. No? Maybe a diff notion that captures the idea that AI uses other's work in a problematic way would be better? Saying that it's Plagiarism seems to explode the notion: All your base are belongs to Plagiarism!

What’s new is old: After the Wiley-𝘑𝘗𝘗 debacle, the editors & board resigned en masse. Now those editors are founding a new, open-access journal, 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘺. I think I speak for the poli phil community in general in saying 𝘗𝘗 is the old 𝘑𝘗𝘗’s true successor.

From the pseudo to the forger: the value of faked philosophy | Aeon Essays A 17th-century classic of Ethiopian philosophy might be a fake. Does it matter, or is that just how philosophy works?

If faking a painting gets you something and faking a passport gets you somewhere, what does a fake work of philosophy get you?

Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir discuss feminism, relationships, and children. And then they play checkers. #Philosophy #Sartre #Beauvoir Sartre & Beauvoir on Feminism & Relationships

Fascinating clip of Sartre and Beauvoir, in which Sartre says “I totally agree with Simone de Beauvoir” about aspects of her feminism and she says (I paraphrase): well, there are things you don’t understand…
