And still, we apologised ('I hope this find you well' and so on). It's cruft, it's slack, and it's social . We need some anchors to hang our message on. We know when it's necessary and when it isn't, and

That is not what I said. It is about signalling risks to developers, not criminalising them. And in terms of encoders, I would say it relates more to digital 'form' than 'content' anyways, the container of a creative wor

I would say a text-based model carries a different risk profile compared to video-based ones. At some point (now?) we'd probably need to have the difficult conversation of what level of media-impersonation we are comfortable with.

Which in case of digital replicas that can feign real people, may be worth considering. Not a blanket legislation as proposed here, but something that signals the downstream risks to the developer to prevent undesired uses.

And I am talking about user-facing app development specifically, which has a different risk profile compared to automative or civil engineering.

by dleeftink 9mo ago
Not saying this would be the right way to go about preventing undesirable uses, but shouldn't building 'risky' technologies signal some risk to the ones developing them? Safe harbor clauses have long allowed the risks to be e

In case bricks will be thrown, the response from the receiving party will likely skew to the argument presented here--circumvention of technical locks. You'd catch the brick, sand it and repurpose so it'll fit your home.

Instead of having chat-interfaces target single developers, moving towards multiplayer interfaces may bring back some of what has been lost--looping in experts or third-party knowledge when a problem is too though to tackle via agentic mean

If A could gain sufficient funds through expertise in one area (by way of validating contracts), could it feign/game expertise in area B by having enough funds to recoup the losses from disputes? Or would such a situation be prevented?

> ensuring that only those with the right expertise remain How will this ensure waning/gaining expertise is accurately represented/fostered? Wouldn't you rather attract a steady-stream of experts indefinitely?

If they store both the generated content and the eventual indexed location, they could now filter search results more comprehensively based on content hashes.

Great write-up! It would be useful if various PKMs would settle on a similar format for recording (nested) tasks, dates and metadata, as it seems to have become the standard way to store kanban boards and similar 'enhanced' views.

Good use case for @container, @scope and :has(), where you forgo class definitions and use --custom-properties on the parent scope/container which are inherited downwards based on the existence of a scoped DOM pattern/container qu

Why not svg filters to create alpha channels? Seems to be supported by the library too (very useful btw!).

My point is, that even in the new paradigm where probabilistic sequences do offer a sensible approximation of language, would novelty become an emergent feature of said system, or would such a system remain bound to the learned joint probab

Fair enough, but the point still stands: innovation of equal benefit compared to isolationism once more with a hefty share of underhanded copying, which will ultimately result in similar technical capabilities anyways. While historically th

All is copied in one way or another, progress in a vacuum is truly artificial and those who've been singularly credited for certain inventions likely have so because of the luck of the draw.

Hopefully, this century, we can shed some of the 'dominating' mindset that has led to technological exclusionism in the first place. Not that catching up to the state-of-the-art isn't warranted, but that progress will become

Although many tools exist, there still seems to a large context gap here: we need better tools to orient ourselves and to navigate large (legacy) codebases. While not strictly a a source graph or the like, I do think Enso like interface may
