You can only seed it on BitTorrent if it comes with the license which identifies the original author and acknowledges their copyrights over the code. Also there is definitely an assumption that a human will read the license or at least impl

But in this case, a human has awareness of what software they are copying or modifying and that's how the original software author receives credit. The contract requires some degree of human awareness to be valid. This is the critical

This is a great point. I think for coding, the wording of the MIT open source license makes it clear that copying and distributing the software is authorised on a small scale and it's very clear that the act of copying must involve a p

True but I don't think we've reached the limit. This is why I advocate for people to spend some time outside in nature and try to do something different once in a while because it's so easy to get stuck in a really small bubb

My definition of bad taste is; will be derivative. These people will consume variants of the same thing over and over, not realizing it to be the case. They will be narrow minded and predictable. They will be afraid of any other ideas which

I'm not too worried about it because the first segment of society is doomed to be 'good but never great.' AI lacks the ability to identify greatness because it's trained on the output of the average person who also lacks

We need to change the law to reduce regulations and introduce a principle of unlimited liability instead. These things have to be fixed at the incentive layer. Self-regulation is the best form of regulation, by far. Any discarded plastic fo

Exactly, what's to stop police officers and judges from giving each other retirement payouts by locking each other up?

Seems like disgruntled tech bros who lost their jobs to AI are now wrecking havoc on tech platforms. This is going to create so much work and job security for software developers. Large companies are going to have to adopt all kinds of poli

IMO, those arguments are grasping for specific definitions of 'ownership'. In its essence, the non-profit structure represents the concept of 'public ownership' to the fullest extent possible under the law. Of course, it

They should ban the stock market as well then since the stock market is essentially just a prediction market.

I'm using the term 'owners' loosely here, but this is a much more reasonable interpretation than the interpretation that the donors are the owners.

I think this is missing the main point that Musk was never the owner of OpenAI, neither was Sam, nor the employees. The owners are the American people. I presume Musk got a tax rebate from his donation, courtesy of the taxpayer; so did ever

I don't think justice applies to any entity with a market cap above $500 billion. What do you think would happen to the jury and the judge if they did the right thing and acknowledged that OpenAI is a non-profit? Probably got threatene

I agree with the sentiment. The devil is in the details. Or the way I see it: The devil hides in the details.

P2P stands for Peer-to-Peer. Now I can't say that I led a P2P network anymore.

This makes sense but also an employee who is dishonest is also a security risk; fired or not. It's ridiculous that companies don't seem to care about ethics. They never seem to select candidates based on proven ethics. They don&#x

Good that the US looks after its own interests but I think the line should be drawn before the sabotaging of other countries' economies. That strategy that cannot continue because Americans recognize it for what it is and that will cre

Crazy to think that it took over 35 years for the superior technical fundamentals to matter. It's true what Max Planck said that science advances one funeral at a time. So does the tech industry as a whole.

Exactly, the difference is literally only based on the number of people who believe the fictitious concept and how much political power their wield.

I don't think it's right to involuntarily send someone to a psychiatric ward because he believed that he was chosen by ChatGPT to be the pope. For the same reason I don't think we should send the pope to a psychiatric ward be

Great points. Words allow one to communicate an approximation of part of what one knows. Agree about expertise being inseparable from the 'world model'. When someone tells us something, they're assuming that we know a certain

It really seems like that doesn't it? I've been down quite a few rabbit holes like that which made me think that a lot of major 'issues' appear to be meticulously engineered to protect a certain set of interests at the e

Engineering boils down to figuring out what is important and prioritizing. This requires having an understanding of a business domain, economics, human psychology and technology. The competitive aspect of it means that you need to understan

Any human movement at scale is bound to become corrupt really quickly. I say that as someone who was both de-banked and de-cryptoed for noticing the corruption and doing everything by the book. My belief is that any centralized, collective

I've long had the feeling that WebRTC was intentionally over-engineered. Over-engineered and poorly documented. IMO, tech standards should be simple and minimal and people should be able to implement whatever they want on top. I tend t

Well, the entire global monetary system is a scam, so this is nothing by comparison.

This has been my preference as well. I build everything in one file until it becomes uncomfortable and only then I start breaking up into multiple files... But even then, I try to keep the main business logic fully visible in the main file.
