@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber "The law always bends to capital, and when it doesn't capital buys new laws" is how I've heard that fundamentally expressed. Nobody should be looking at the copyright term extension acts and seeing a tool that benefits the people or the common good.

Oooh, a prior oil crisis is what turned the Netherlands from a driving country to a bicycling country.

This little film helped me remember what I love about movies and film.

It's about a cat, and self discovery, I promise it will make your day better if you take some time out to watch it.

my favourite micro-community is the one that forms between folks with usernames prone to mis-tagging in GitHub issues. 🤝

Maybe we should get with the times and invite "tpu" too.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.” "

(the "vocationally trained working class, often male, working class voters" also stand to lose from types like Karp btw)

That said, I think a lot of people think we can fight AI / LLM output on copyright grounds, and I actually think that's a losing strategy. Copyright almost always helps the big players, and it would here too!

You can see, they're already counting on and hoping it will be the case.

What the big players want is for copyright to apply to AI generated output because then *only* the big players can provide LLM services. See also Sam Altman's "running intelligence as a metered utility" pitch.

And the reason they could do this: *they* can make deals with Disney, Netflix, etc. But open models can't.

But what about all the "little guys" stuff? Well, when you sign that ToS on GitHub, Stack Overflow, DeviantArt, etc etc etc, all those places, you give them a right to your content too.

And THOSE places get to sell your rights.

So fighting on copyright grounds won't be an even playing field. It helps the big AI companies win.

People keep training machines on human responses and behavior and then they’re shocked and fooled when they react to input exactly like humans superficially do.

Hmmm, anyone know of an open GoToSocial instance? @dansup , I'm having a brain fart, doesn't one of your projects list known instances of various services?

Wafrn's got a really annoying glitch that's souring me on it, so lets look at something else I'm interested in.

What do you mean sleeping and eating are not real hobbies?

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @janlJan Lehnardt On the legal side, I think folks are counting on the fact that so much money is behind the position that AI sufficiently launders copyright that there's little chance courts in the U.S. are going to rule otherwise. I don't *like* that position, because I think it's wrong on a number of levels -- but if I had to wager a paycheck on the outcome of a court case... that's the position I'd put the money on.

It seems unlikely that SCOTUS, for example, is ever going to rule against the monied class. The only way I see SCOTUS ruling the other way is if it's two money giants going toe-to-toe and the conservatives see some advantage in finding that AI-generated code infringes on copyright. Even then, I'd expect it to be a narrow, hard-to-generalize ruling.

But what do I know? I'm just trying to keep my head above water like most folks.

Don't use LLM generated code in your projects yet! If for no other reason than that the legal case law is NOT ESTABLISHED YET.

I know there was the "copyright laundering" thing that went around a lot, but we actually don't know.

You'll see commenters everywhere on the internet say that "the US Supreme Court ruled that AI generated output is in the public domain". That's misinfo: they *declined to take on* a case from a lower court coming to that conclusion. The US Supreme Court hasn't yet ruled.

And this hasn't shaken out in an international setting yet either.

You may be surprised to hear: I actually think it's more dangerous and empowers centralized AI companies even more if it *isn't* the case that AI output is in the public domain (I'll follow up about that), but regardless, right now we just don't know.

But despite that, I'm STILL saying that you're putting yourself in legally dubious territory right now if you include LLM generated code, for now. We don't know yet.

This one is an oldie, but a goodie.

I just saw a LinkedIN post from some principal security doofus at Microsoft being loud and wrong about large language models.

Serious question - given that Microslop has been producing trash code, which has been getting worse and worse over the last 30 years. Why do people still listen to them, or take them seriously? They wrote code so bad, it broke their text editor, why does anyone give credence to the things they say and write?

I'm sure it has to do with some combo of money and market share, but these clowns have been loud and wrong for three decades. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they are still doing it today. Maybe that's the one thing that has been consistent about them over the years? That and being run by monsters.

Tempted to write a post that software development lost the plot a long time ago, and that the recent LLM developments are merely the icing on that cake. Software these days is not the painstaking work by people like @bagderdaniel:// stenberg:// or @hycHoward Chu @ Symas or @vitautvitaut 🤍❤️🤍 🇺🇦 who write the best code they possibly can. Over the past decade, "the software world" has been developing in a very different way than that.
