If you go read a book, memorize it, write it down later in a substantively similar form, and share it freely or sell it — yes, you might get into copyright trouble. It has happened before and it is at best a tricky gray area. If you pick up

Actually, people have been successfully sued for plagiarizing other works because they had internalized it and accidentally regurgitated it. So. The fact that content runs through a human brain doesn’t necessarily cleanse it from copyright

So you’re saying I’m right except in some narrowly carved-out situations. And I agree with you.

Yes I do. I own the work I create, even if it's publicly available. I do get to decide what happens with it.

I mean, it ingested all of the content from my blog. Without my permission. It's not a major part of their corpus of data, but still -- I wasn't asked and I don't really care to donate work to large corporations like that. So

That’s not what he wrote — you’re filling in his empty vessel of a comment with context you’ve created. And we can certainly debate how people talk about politics online, but that’s way way more complicated and nuanced of a topic than “it’s

This is the sort of vague comment that sounds observant and smart but absent of any kind of context is absolutely meaningless. I’ve been sort of lumping this stuff into the category of “self-help glurge” or “productivity glurge” lately. I’m

Learning one will make learning the others easier. They have conceptual differences, of course, but there's also a lot of overlap. Regardless, the "cross platform UI wars shaking out" will mean there are three or four options

On one hand, he murdered a bunch of people and ruined a huge number of lives. On the other hand, wrote a mildly interesting manifesto that only attracted any sort of attention because it was published by The Washington Post in a desperate b

Is it exhausting having to reframe every single thing through a bizarro culture war lens? Seems like it would be.

“Generative AI.” I know there are kind of weird edge cases. “My iPhone made the sunset way redder than it was in real life.” But I think we all know what they’re talking about and I suspect if you’re in a position for it to really be a conc

Plagiarism can also be tricky to identify and prove. But the reputational harm of lying if you’re caught can be massive and an effective deterrent if you actually care about your career. I’ll say that even in my personal life if I catch y

It’s a tool. Don’t want the tool? Don’t use it. There are absolutely going to be use-cases for it, even if Baudrillard would prefer we all just use our imaginations. Who needs a car when all we need is to just stroll amongst the trees and l

I think everyone arguing about whether a CEO actually can/should be replaced by an AI are missing the point of the article…

The Web hit the scene in 1991. By 2003 how we shopped, worked, consumed media, communicated with friends and family, and interacted with information was in the process of changing radically. A million "little ambitions" to replace

I think for most Elon lovers here, claiming people don't like him because he's "not being sufficiently left-wing" is a way to distract from the fact that his stewardship of Twitter has thus far been an embarrassing disas

I guess I disagree with Plato, unless he's talking about how I no longer know anyone's phone numbers off the top of my head. I think it's fairly well established that when you think about a topic well enough to generate ideas

Writing is thinking. You do it as much for yourself as you do your readers and having to put effort into it is how you realize gains. Like strength training. Use tools, of course, but don't let them do the hard part for you. It'd
