Quiet public

@SnoopJ it's particularly stupid because one of the decisions they frequently link as a citation (that comic book with AI generated art) was in fact deemed copyrightable for the portions that were not substantially machine generated (text, layout, etc.). Like yeah, if you shit out a midjourney image and trivially tweak it, that's not a human-authored work

(But I also think the copyright implications for code with multiple authors and FOSS licenses intertwined with generated code is going to be a fucking mess)
