Not just the knowledge and time but the urgency too. It was an emergency.

My head canon is that this comic made people work harder on image recognition.

“one of the most evil people in history is dead” says the pedophile president.

But my vertical tabs!

Yeah, a joke, if you look up you’ll see it.

I’d have to go back and look at the pizza gate stuff from that time. Because I also remember it wasn’t just a conspiracy about child sex slaves, they also believed the elites were feeding on adrenochrome. I haven’t kept up with the Epstein files and it’s really difficult to keep up with what’s sensationalized versus what’s actually in there. The idea that Epstein and friends pushed the adrenochrome version of the story to cover the more grounded child sex ring version isn’t too far fetched. It’s so difficult to separate conspiracy theory from fact in this shit. Genuinely the worst timeline.

I heard edgy teenagers making jokes about it in highschool over a decade ago. It’s not something I hear on a daily basis.

I’m just saying the term has been around for a while and felt more like a euphemism than a dog whistle to me in how people used it.

Makes me wonder where the actual break even would be. Like how long does making one random number take versus sins lookups. Fuck it, do it in parallel. Fastest wins.

“Cheese pizza” has been slang/a euphemism for child pornography (due to the initials being the same, “cp”) since at least 2010. I wouldn’t call it a dog whistle.

Computer output cannot be copyrighted, don’t focus on it being “AI”. It’s not quite so simple, there’s some nuance about how much human input is required. We’ll likely see something about that at some point in court. The frustrating thing is that a lot of this boils down to just speculation until it goes to court.

This is why CC0 should not be used for code. Its public license fallback explicitly does not give patent rights. Compare that to MIT which implicitly does by saying you can use the software however you want. CC0 literally has this clause in the public license fallback.

No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.

Yeah, a lot of copyright law in the US is extremely forgiving towards creators making mistakes. For example, you can only file for damages after you register the copyright, but you can register after the damages. So like if I made a book, someone stole it and starting selling copies, I could register for a copyright afterwards. Which honestly is for the best. Everything you make inherently has copyright. This comment, once I click send, will be copyrighted. It would just senselessly create extra work for the government and small creators if everything needed to be registered to get the protections.

Edit: As an example of this, this is why many websites in their terms of use have something like “you give us the right to display your work” because, in some sense, they don’t have the right to do that unless you give them the right. Because you have a copyright on it. Displaying work over the web is a form of distribution.

Oooh if you want the actual look with an animal sketch, do one of that orangutan trying to use a hammer and nails.

The AI push right now is crazy. Where I’m working all teams have to show how much they’re using AI and where. Rather than being measured on their success they’re being measured on how they’re doing it.

If I type *blah* it shows it as something like blah, but I want it to not format until I send. It’s difficult for me to write in WYSIWYG editors. I want it to show *blah*.

I’m on Mac and I dislike it too. No flashing cursor to let me know I’ve selected the chat window to type. The app insists on changing to a different view when I switch windows, making me lose it. The share screen ribbon always manages to be exactly where I need it to not be. Doesn’t allow any sort of Markdown-esque formatting in chat, only WYSIWYG.

It’s interesting, because I some ways I think it might not be as bad, because a lot of the problems Davis faced were trolls abusing him as a lolcow. But at the same time, people have literally killed themselves after being advised to by ChatGPT.

As a side note, I have seen at least one person (probably jokingly) vibe coding in HolyC on TikTok.
