Japan determines copyright doesn’t apply to LLM/ML training data.

On a global scale, Japan’s move adds a twist to the regulation debate. Current discussions have focused on a “rogue nation” scenario where a less developed country might disregard a global framework to gain an advantage. But with Japan, we see a different dynamic. The world’s third-largest economy is saying it won’t hinder AI research and development. Plus, it’s prepared to leverage this new technology to compete directly with the West.

I am going to live in the sea.

    Crazy! I had never thought of this sort of arrow as something that would have a patent. Isn’t it pretty common in various other driving/racing games? Maybe not?! MM1 & MM2 definitely had the arrow — I’ve spent way too many hours fucking around in those as a kid! However, there’s no taxi mode in any of them. Sadly, I’ve never tried MM3, since it was never released for PC, iirc only for Xbox, but the video you shared indeed confirms it had the arrow too, and even a taxi mode! How similar is it to that of Crazy Taxi? I’ve never played that. At least, SEGA probably doesn’t own the patent for the taxi/delivery/ambulance driver game format too?!

      Looks basically the same, as you get closer to the destination in Crazy Taxi the arrow pluses in size and switches colour from green, to orange, to red.

      Are you aware that mini-games during loading screens were patented (expired now)?
