Are there any (profitable) phone apps that are not build on top of the app/play store?
Android also supports third party stores/standalone installers and iOS is fighting an ongoing legal battle due to its lack of a permanent equivalent.
Concrete and working? Technically, yes. This would have been an excellent submission for a different assignment and role. But it doesn't seem to suit the specifications for this one.
Teachers will lament the rise of AI-generated answers, but they will only ever complain about the blatantly obvious responses that are 100% copy-pasted. This is only an emerging phenomenon, and the next wave of prompters will learn from the mistakes of the past. From now on, unless you can proctor a room full of students writing their answers with nothing but pencil and paper, there will be no way to know for certain how much was AI and how much was original/rewritten.
Rule 3 of the subreddit quite literally bars people from accusing posts of being AI-generated. I have only visited it a few times in recent times, but I noticed quite a few GPT-speak posts with comments calling it out getting removed and punished.

The stated aim is that when you compile the same source, environment, and instructions the end result is bit identical.
There is, however; hardware specific optimizations that will naturally negate this stated aim, and I don't see how there's any way to avoid throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
I understand why having a reproducible build is needed on a lot of fronts, but the stated requirements don't seem to be in line with the realities.
At its most basic, there is hardware, where the hardware may advertise features it doesn't have, or doesn't perform the same instructions in the same way, and other nuances that break determinism as a property, and that naturally taints the entire stack since computers rely heavily on emergent design.
This is often hidden in layers of abstraction and/or may be separated into pieces that are architecture dependent vs independent (freestanding), but it remains there.
Most if not all of the beneficial properties of reproducible builds rely on the environment being limited to a deterministic scope, and the reality is manufacturers ensure these things remain in a stochastic scope.
Distro packages are compiled on their build server and distributed to users with all kinds of systems; therefore, by nature, it should not use optimizations specific to the builder's hardware.
On source-based distros like Gentoo, yes, users adding optimization flags would get a different output. But there is still value in having the same hardware/compilation flags result in the same output.
Like if you can't figure out which works were used to create the AI just by looking, its hard to argue that they "copied" the work. Copyright is not a general prohibition on using the copyrighted work only the creativity contained within.
It isn't difficult to show copyright infringement in these models. The assumption should be that copyright infringement has occured until proven otherwise.
Just the fact that they are indiscriminately web scraping proves that. Just because it is publicly and (monetarily) freely available doesn't mean it isnt copyrighted.
When I first tried Copilot, I asked it to write a simple algorithm like FizzBuzz and it ripped off a random repo verbatim, complete with Korean comments and typos. Image models will also happily generate near-identical [2] copies (usually with some added noise) of copyrighted images with the right prompt.

A country willing to cut mineral supply anytime they don’t like anything is good partner and friend of EU , lol, how delusional someone can be ?
Even current US Administration sends Patriots and military support to Ukraine, while China is sponsoring WAR, help Russia to keep up with war killing people around the world.
China can end that war in 1 week if they really want.
US spent fortune to protect collective west while countries like Germany almost dismantled their army in the past.
Very rational thinking , sure. China will wipe out entire west with technological superiority in the next decade or two without west being united.
China may potentially be able to stop the war, but at what cost? They've been licking their wounds and rebuilding their nation at breakneck speed for the past century, and it's only recently that they've finally reached a critical stage with innovations on all fronts. Going against one of their two allies now would be pretty ill-advised.
The US has also been very erratic, while China's current goals seem to be fairly consistent: reclaim everything they lost during the century of humiliation.
