Summary: Ground.news puts far too much faith in the legitimacy of many right-wing headlines; giving them front-page views as "blindspots". Meaning: Even though the story itself is complete BS/non-factual, the algorithm shows

Exactly! If Anthropic is guilty of copyright infringement for the mere act of downloading copyrighted books then so is Google, Microsoft (Bing), DuckDuckGo, etc. Every search engine that exists downloads pirated material every day. They&#x2

It's the first step in a two-step process: 1. Rewrite in (unsafe) Rust. 2. Update the code over time, moving towards safe Rust. It's the old, "get it working then fix it" process. In business that's

Lines of Code has always been a tertiary indicator at best. It's supposed to only be used as a (very) rough indicator when you're trying to figure out the overall complexity of a project. As in, "there's 50 million l

Speak for yourself! Some of us don't think about the problem at all, write the code, then don't think about it afterwards either! This is how "features" get added to most Microsoft products these days :thumbsup:

Google trained their AI on stuff they scraped without knowing whether it was pirated content. Why should it be different for Anthropic? Google literally scrapes pirated content all day every day. When they do that they have no idea if the

Completely untrue. If some clever engineer or consortium of engineers designed a 3D-printable car for 3D printing-and-manufacturing companies to make then it surely would exist. If you buy one from a Ford dealership you'd be getting
