Anthropic is straight up scamming its users at this point.

I've made this argument here on Hacker News dozens of times over many years now.

These "safeguards" are actively contributing to computer insecurity at this point.

It's because they are monopolists. Copyrights are monopolies, and copyright holders are monopolists. Abolish copyright and I guarantee they will completely change their attitude.

It literally never fails. If you pay to avoid ads, you are merely letting them know that you have disposable income to spend on this sort of stuff. You're doing their job for them by segmenting yourself into the upper echelons of the m

It's a politico-technological arms race. They make their laws. We make technology that completely nullifies their laws. They need to increase their tyranny in order to enjoy the same level of control they had before. The end state is e

But would the corporarions raise salaries and improve conditions if they had literally no other choice? That is the question. Unionization demonstrably leverages benefits out of corporations, so I'm inclined to think that immigration b

Anthropic rewrote the MIT licensed Bun. The capability has clearly been demonstrated. As far as I'm concerned, the writing is on the wall. And it's not just free software either. AI can quickly reverse engineer compiled software t

Isn't that the whole point of crowdfunding platforms like kickstarter? Developer presents the idea and how much it costs. If enough people pitch in, then the idea is funded, the developer gets the money as a lump sum and can turn the i

Indeed. It's either AGPLv3 or all rights reserved, and I'm increasingly in the proprietary camp. There are two free software business models: 1. Choosing the most copyleft, most business hostile license imaginable (AGPLv3) and cha

The regurgitated approximation can matter just as much depending on what results it accomplishes. If I somehow make money out of this, then it's mission accomplished. Arguably, they might even matter more than my artisanal hand craft

Doubt. If I vibecode a video game and manage to sell it on Steam, the information definitely mattered even though I didn't understand any of it. There are drugs that nobody truly understands how they work and they are being used by pro

Right now it seems GrapheneOS is the only OS capable of resisting Cellebrite.

I wonder how low Google will sink next time. Respect for the GrapheneOS for pushing through regardless, even if they have to reverse engineer stuff. Can't wait to buy their phone.

There are two injustices here. The first injustice is the sheer existence of this notion of intellectual property. The second injustice stems from the selective application of the associated laws. Intellectual property should not exist, bu

IP could be real and LLM training could be considered fair use. IP protects published information, so even abolishing all IP would not help us since the LLM weights are secret. Nothing short of a global revolution can fix this. Proprietar

Not everything needs to be general purpose. Allocation can be as easy as bumping a pointer, and it's hard to beat that.

Existing games will not be recompiled for the new bytecode target, and they want all of those games to work regardless.

More than the average person, I suppose. For some reason, AI writing isn't as irritating to me as it seems to be for everyone else. I treat it the same way I treat human writing: by speed reading most of the article so I can find the p
