Because if you present yourself as the author, it follows that the actual author is deprived of attribution. So you are actually taking something from that person. LLM could commit plagiarism if authorship of generated media was claimed for

I would just establish that all references to "theft" and "stealing" in the realm of copyright (with the notable exception of plagiarism) is metaphor and emotional rhetoric. Historically it would come from copyright inte

I sympathize with what you're saying. In theory Docker and Snaps and such are supposed to more explicitly package Linux programs along with their dependencies. Though Docker especially depends heavily on being networked and servers bei

Many historians work on manuscripts and/or large archives of documents that might not be digitized, let alone be accessible in the internet. The proportion of human knowledge that is available in the internet, especially if we furthe

I wouldn't automatically say this is bad. If the money that would end up being more profits percolates throughout society, employees, communities etc., and even the founders themselves (as opposed to concentrated capital), it is actual

If there's an argument here, it's a mess. You first talk about speech. Commerce is barely speech--it's actually using the public market--and there is a legitimate opinion that applying civil rights to companies is already a c

Honestly the SEO talk sounds like reflexive coping in this discourse. I get that WWW has cheapened quality, but we now have the tech that could defeat most of the SEO and other trash tactics on the search engine side. Text analysis as a tas

People can choose not to be polarized by figures, especially where the controversies are firmly offtopic. That being said I do find the tone of this guide somewhat annoying and condescending at times. It could use some editing to make it mo

In the articles and talks from that time people often take the perspective of what the whole society (with its organizations) wants from the "automatic computers" and programmers as a profession. Compare also something like the 19

Not sure about 'serious and corporate', the big corps like to appear cute, folksy etc. and recently we even saw new Google Material Design advertised as judged more "rebellious" by focus groups. Maybe bland and toothless

The part how the whole system can be proved correct, but still break and bug out as handled and understood by its users and maintainers, to me summarizes practical problems with the formal trends in software engineering. Abstractions break

Honestly to me inequality has been always the main reasonable angle of attacking gene editing. But if vaccines are an analogy, many countries were eventually able to mass vaccinate for dangerous diseases. So this could be only the question

How paradoxical. Man rejects books about rebelliousness because of negative social proof. Over time has increasingly sophisticated collectively-held ideology about why they are bad. Initially, it apparently was about pure artistic merit, a

I have another somewhat related observation. If you don't think or don't know how to think about your ideas your broadly (because the communication is saturated, or you lack any context), your opponents often get to dictate your b

Actually it's a dynamic that might be circling us back to the mythical "early web". The more rebellious and out-there members of the younger cohorts tend to be more fascinated by hackable technology, piracy etc. This doesn&#x

I wonder how many subscriptions are bought for outlets which have no outside-internet recognition or freely accessible content, where all you can see is a paywall. If I'm gonna subscribe to your magazine, the main things I want to know

True, but I also see the wisdom. As a PhD student, chances are you are overworked, in the clutches of the institution, dependent on the higher ups, and being mentally crushed by it all. (Source: know, have known people in such programs.) Tr

Not a bad article, all things considered. Interesting, given the overall message, that the author manages to spin the worldly engagement that is still present in stoicism (as opposed to Epicureanism etc.) as somehow a suspicious thing. In R

I would even say there's a type of comment along the lines of "we've been adding Roentgens for decades, surely adding some more will be fine so stop complaining". As a second-order effect, I think there's a decline

The thing is, having access to AI generating "writeups" for you, or even reading through what you've generated, does not equal knowledge in a useful sense. The act of writing would prove you have the knowledge, and can organi

For the record, I have no idea where you got 'persecution' or 'cabal' from. I do not tend to engage in flamewars on that topic, just observing the discourse. What I am talking here about is this. Most historians are awar

I don't where the author frequents but my experience on the internet about the Dark Ages is much opposite. People who have strong opinion about them tend to go past "nuance" straight into denialism, as if there wasn't ob

Similar region here, and there are unaffiliated "outlet" stores with their own websites which you can search-engine for, at least for workstations: I've never tried with servers. Also the discounts might be more in the decent

One loose analogy could be the death of Stalin. His main men got on fighting for a few years, with a few important ones like Molotov and Beria (initially considered something of a favorite) ending up sidelined or dead. The Cold War ultimate

I don't see myself as a big Gen-Z defender, but I think you can only reasonably expect one. Either I'm having a discourse with you regardless of whether I like your language (no assumptions if we ever agree), or I am looking if

The sectors of work that have been largely pushed out of economy in recent decades have not been defended by serious state policy. In fact there are whole groups of crucial workers, like teachers or nurses, who are kept around barely surviv

A problem with that is that it can be easy to make claims about unconscious, as you can be loose with how and if it can be observable. The main core of "our" (Western) philosophical, ethical, legal, artistic etc. concepts predates
