"Pirating" AI prompts sounds funny. They should think about themself rather as photographers making photographs of public spaces - they can't really expect to copyright one exact shot from certain angle.
This is more complex problem in the FOSS ecosystem already. Lot of companies use free software and their admins get paid well, sometimes, but the programmer's work is somehow expected to be free or paid by hourly fee, because the profit of the companies using free software is not intended to be shared. Somehow same situations was there with DJs, being famous for mixing nameless tracks.
The important question, if "sloperators" expect themself to be well paid professionals or even famous artists in the future. I think this future will never be. There are no "famous cell phone users". The AI model companies will have famous brands, some developers will get famous and well paid. But I think that average sloperator can expect probably as much attention, as eg. dish washer or coffee machine operator. Anybody else will be easily able to achieve the same result, and actually, I expect "open prompt" culture, where prompts generating certain result will be shared together with the result, much like open source is available for binaries.
Very few people will be able to created prompts "better then someone else", so much of the current effort of many people will soon look the same like putting photos of your fast food on Instagram. There will be nothing unique and competitive about the output.

@mcc This is a feeling I've been having for a few years, and I struggle to see how the normalisation of unaccountable LLM platforms and users won't spell the end of the Free Software movement/type of F/OSS culture I care about, and that's heartbreaking on so many levels.
@mcc It makes me reluctant when I think about sharing my work. It makes me reluctant when I think about accepting contributions. Even for closed source projects, it makes me wary of collaboration because I feel like the level of micromanagement I'd need to have confidence that my work wasn't being tainted just isn't the sort of working relationship I'd like to have with others.
I don't eat fish because I'm not interested in carefully chewing for bones all the time. This feels like that.
LLM advocates and their enablers will hide the fact that they are posting stolen code— they brag about this, their most widely-effective argument for LLM code being allowed in OSS is "if you tell us we can't, we'll do it and not tell you"— and attempts to track which open source projects use stolen code will be harassed off the Internet. I do not want to be part of this open source community, so the only options I seem to have are to wall myself off from it, or stop doing open source altogether.

New from me: X is A Power Problem, Not a Platform Problem
https://connectedplaces.online/reports/a-power-problem-not-a-platform-problem/
How do y’all organize your #Linux or #BSD workflow?
Are you a desktop environment user that treats it as a turnkey environment for all your needs and don’t tweak it much?
Do you just use the tty and terminal programs really leveraging the power of the unix-y shell?
Or do you play in the middle ground somewhere and use a tiling wm like me?
—
For me, I treat my #OpenBSD install like a unix-y flavored lisp machine. I don’t need much gui integration that much outside of the terminal, my wm’s lisp process socket and emacs, to be happy.
Tonight I had to do a few things on my wife’s iPhone 13 Pro Max (which I used for two years, from 2021 to 2023). I really struggled to read the text, especially in the browser. Has something changed with the recent versions of iOS, or has my eyesight worsened that much in two years? I mean, I know my vision has changed, but while I can read everything easily on my Pixel, I just couldn't manage on the iPhone
FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for X86 compatible, DEC Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures.
Что такое FreeBSD?
FreeBSD - это мощная операционная система для компьютеров архитектур, совместимых с x86, AMD64, Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 и UltraSPARC®. Она основана на BSD, версии UNIX®, созданной в Калифорнийском Университете в Беркли. Она разрабатывается и поддерживается большой командой разработчиков. Поддержка других платформ находится на разных стадиях разработки.
Выдающиеся возможности
Исключительный набор сетевых возможностей, высокая производительность, средства обеспечения безопасности и совместимости с другими ОС - вот те современные возможности FreeBSD, которые зачастую всё ещё отсутствуют в других, даже лучших коммерческих, операционных системах.

oh god I got a bunch of new followers
::hides under bed::
Honestly, it's pretty impressive how many followers you can get on here just posting about random shit.
I learnt a long time ago not to respond to SMS messages like "How are you today?". But when I was off work for a day feeling sick and I got a message "Are you going in to work today?" I was only 80% confident it was fake.
And I responded and it was fake.
So now I don't know if "Are you going into work today?" is just a standard message that gets blasted out in the hope that it catches sick people by chance, or whether someone (an AI?) had seen my mention of testing positive for Covid here and somehow connected that to my phone number. Probably the former.

I have yet to figure out an effective way to use multiple accounts but I can suck it up for #SearchEngine #forkiverse Main: https://ohai.social/@DrSuzanne
#introduction I was out running when listen to #SearchEngine about this new internet revolution. So "Hi, everyone"
Happy Saturday #forkiverse! What’s everyone been reading lately? I just finished Careless People - it sat on my to be read list for way too long but I couldn’t put it down after I started reading. #books
My view when I joined the #forkiverse #introduction. North London back garden.
Sometimes, it feels like absolutely every single person (outside of Fedi) might be just a horrible terrible person. Then just occasionally - just a very weird chance 'fly on the wall' situation, and you witness an interaction, and you think.... people might actually be OK. ❤️
real question that i swear i mean in the nicest way possible, is anyone else on here under 30 the millennial urge to revive early 2010s twitter is palpable
#forkiveness should be a word. “I snapped a picture while driving” -> I forkive you. Asking questions about Mastodon that could easily be looked up -> forkiven.

It is a long-standing tradition for Microsoft to use a runtime copy of Windows as a part of Windows Setup. But the copy is so stripped-down, it cannot run anything but the setup program (winsetup.bin).
OR IS IT?
A mini-challenge for myself: create a semi-working desktop only based on runtime Windows 3.10 shipped with Windows 95 installer but not using any other Microsoft products.
Lots of nostalgic and weird screenshots in this 🧵 thread
