The world is laughing at the US. Especially when the US also uses high altitude balloon surveillance. Going nuts and shooting down high school science projects, rushing to military action for everything, it's the perfect American story.

1 out of 2 hit rate for half million dollar seeking missiles versus a balloon... What a joke

It would have been MUCH harder to prove if they spent a day preprocessing the images first!

The question is can you use copyrighted info to train a model. The answer is we don't know yet.

The current lawsuit that will define precedent on this is for image generation using copyrighted Getty images in a training model. It's proven that Getty images are used because the watermark shows up in the output of the model many times which is the answer to "how can they prove it".

Once that is defined, then we will know if it is legal or not in those jurisdictions. And then we will get to the "do we do it anyways even though it's illegal?"

Not really hard when the model is spitting out watermarked images.

We're going to find out soon with the Getty lawsuit. Until then, gray area.

Uh that's my point. So your accident doesn't count towards anything. Now look at number of traffic accidents per year statistically. None of yours have ever been counted. Of you had those accidents almost anywhere else in the world they'd be counted.

Generalizing a single country based on repeated and verifiable evidence versus other countries generally not acting in the same way, is valid data.

It's getting to the point where the Americans need their own sub to continue spreading their misinformation.

It's not all definitional. It's literally refusing to report or release figures that would be included in such crime statistics. Often because the police are "overloaded" which is BS.

For example for something random that is part of a statistical issue, in the US it is common for vehicle accidents NOT to be reported in the winter because many areas have statutes where police will not come to a scene and issue a ticket or even police report if the weather is bad. More and more commonly the definition has moved to basically any day with any weather because it's more profitable to give out speeding tickets than write accident reports.

You are then supposed to call and report but it's useless as it wasn't at the time and doesn't actually count to any of the statistics involving auto accidents.

Coincidentally the rate of auto accidents in the winter in most of these areas plummeted! Look how safe!

This is ILLEGAL in most places. It is illegal in the US too, but it doesn't matter because murica.

Lol

Now go look up what constitutes various crimes and reporting in Canada vs the US.

You'll see a huge difference where the US doesn't classify a lot of things and Canada does.

This is a common fallacy Americans fall into because they assume everyone reports X the same way they do. And almost always Americans suck at reporting data because there's no cohesive system or set of rules.
