There’s no way to qualify the sample size of writers based on his claims so within the bubble of his experience I’m sure it’s correct but not useful to base an argument on that writers at large are onboard with this and as for good faith en

(Edited) No, he didn’t say anything about them. People side against their interests all the time, finding a few writers that like this is trivial. Are those people the majority opinion on this or are we just trying to prove how wonderful th

Part of the justification I’ve heard for wasting the scammers time is to limit the number of people they can interact with in a day. If wasting a scammer’s time prevents another innocent person from scammed then there’s a net benefit. It’s

The htmx library emulates what would be possible if browsers supported gets/posts on other html elements like buttons. It’s a library because no browser supports this natively.

Hey akling, since you’re building a browser I’ve got to ask, do you have any thoughts on https://htmx.org/ or whether it could be supported as part of some extension to Ladybird?

This isn’t about specialness, it’s about the foundations of civil society. People are meat and guts humans. We’re autonomous entities capable of higher reasoning, limited in time, attention and talent and eventually die allowing new people

Good reasons not to assign copyright to their output, at least not without some caveats.

These aren’t people. Just because we can find commonalities in learning and memorization does not mean we can ignore everything else that differs.

Humans aren’t software and laws were designed around humans for the benefit of other humans. Or at least the last time I checked nobody had forked my brain on GitHub or uploaded me to Sourceforge.

Humans and software are not the same. Humans get a pass on regurgitating some stuff because our memories are fuzzy and more importantly we are not eternal, distributable entities that scale based on GPUs available. Kim Peek is Greg and the

Considering all the big companies laying people off recently, even those with enough capital to retain them, they don’t seem very concerned about that possibility. For what it’s worth I hope you’re right.

Counterpoint, companies do what they’ve always done and do more with less because big companies are run by MBAs, not idealists, and startups are difficult to bootstrap and manage.

I view it differently. Some people are not cut out for manual labor, lots of white collar work is intellectually stimulating in a way blue collar work isn’t, and a deluge of white collar workers competing for blue collar jobs will drive dow

As long as you’re paying more than they’re making in ads per person I think it’s fine but there’s nothing saying you can’t consume ads as well. Ideally the producer sets the donation price and provides a way to disable ads if you’re donatin

This example is comparing apples to oranges. We’re already paying for cable, we just watch ads because because there’s only one or two cable companies in town and they both show ads. If we could pay more to show no ads we would but it’s not

The problem isn’t that people feel compelled to shill for advertisers the problem is that people need to make a living. The quality of their content has nothing to do whether they pursue it professionally or not.

Good tool, does what it says on the tin and being command line driven means you can pass in a list of IPs and parse the results. Passing IPv6 addresses via pipe threw errors for me but xargs was an easy workaround. Normally I’d use the subn

You’re right, I can’t claim that it is. I understand that the models do not contain the original work. But they are not simply sharing a single link and the “intent” is different. I personally feel that we should not treat human learning an

It would be more like abetting copyright infringement by making it easier for scrappers to find content to train their models on. LAION isn’t posting a single link on their twitter account for their followers. It’s clear what this dataset i

I guess how I feel is, if there are 50 new services that spring up overnight with different opt outs that would be annoying for people to deal with. If the website operator isn’t getting value out of the service they might just block you or

What is what? If you mean distinguishing between AI and humans, it’s exactly what it sounds like. Fair use is a legal construct not a universal truth and subject to change like anything else. Just like how the US Founders writing the 2nd am
