This is why these companies paying subscriptions shoveling everything into Claude thinking "oh, they're not training on our stuff" is hilarious to me. Of course they are. They probably are extra super-duper sure not to have C

I think the asymmetry of fair use is what feels the most wrong about copyright and AI. Forever, fair use has been limited with an iron fist: you can’t rip that DVD because it’s copy-protected; You can only use 10s of that song in your schoo

My first Ethernet cable was a crossover cable I used to link my original Xbox with my friend’s. We’d haul another tube TV down to the basement and LAN party all night.

Well certainly, no one thing is impervious. But if you have GPS, LORAN, VORs, NDBs, astronavigation, etc. you have many more options at your disposal and present a much more complex attack target.

I always find the “personal responsibility” take hilarious against at-will employment and the usual course of turnover. What is your recourse when you uncover a liar? You can page the responsible party at 3am when their vibe-coded slop brea

> the process of "testing" was careless. Let’s not mince words. The process was criminal. It’s a gross miscarriage of justice that the CFAA isn’t being thrown at them.

Your stated preferences confirms that the listed items are not of equal utility. Clearly you value some over others.
