So you agree that it will be baked in and impossible to actually turn off. Yep.

Otherwise, they would have made it an extension, right? If it’s optional, it needs to actually be optional … that’s what am extension is. That’s the whole point of them.

Right right. If they had real innovation, they would have defined it clearly as you suggested. But they didn’t, so they don’t. It’s all snake oil, again, because that’s the entire AI industry.

Firefox is no longer trusted. Fuck that AI bullshit. We don’t want it, we don’t need it, and they don’t care.

Several explanations exist. First ShareAlike or GPL require re-sharing of downstream content. But if things are used for training, and later the model produces new code, that isn’t implicated by copyright legislation… And we could discuss whether that’s ethical or moral, of course, and there are various opinions…

I feel like this is similar to the weakness of BSD licenses, Public Domain releases, and CC BY licensing. Someone can come along and take all of your work, polish it a little better, and sell their new service. Then you don’t get recognition or support, they get some contracts from their friends’ companies for a few years, and you feel sad.

The other commonly-remarked angle is the death of the Web. Because so many websites are script-generated copy/paste, and they are tweaked to fit SEO, and Google doesn’t give a fuck, it’s hard for real website authors to get seen, and without any visibility, their work ends up being personal or pointless. This isn’t limited to open source, but it’s closely connected.

Right right, if by “everybody” you mean “definitely not everybody”.

I think your speculation is probably going to be fairly close to reality, but that makes their case very difficult to prove. If the FBI comes to my house and tells me that they’re investigating a crime and then I delete data, then probably I have broken the law. And I would have known it. So I would get convicted. But Border Patrol loves to go on fishing expeditions and search digital devices when there is no evidence that a crime has been committed. And if that’s the case, then I don’t have any obligation to preserve the data. And it doesn’t even matter what Border Patrol claims later because the legal standard is going to be what I believed at the time that they tried to go on their fishing expedition.

I think we can safely conclude that there was no warrant because no one has reported there was a warrant and that is the kind of thing that they would have reported. And if they had one they would have seized the phone itself. So we can reasonably conclude that this is a situation where they told the guy, unlock your phone or we’re going to keep you locked up or we’re going to take your phone.

Actually, that is how it works. And if you don’t believe us, then take 10 minutes and do a brief web search and you will find the same information… In this situation the law matches common sense which says that most of the time you are allowed to erase things on your own phone and when it is a special case then you need to know it’s a special case for it to be a crime.

Is? It’s done already. But the bots got there years ago, so who really cares about now.

That means there’s more money to be made by other more obscure countries, right?

I disagree. That would encourage more VPN companies to open up abroad. Two hundred countries and many don’t care what others think.

Right right, block the VPNs and destroy corporate infrastructure and WfH, and then everyone will just use more torrent clients or stream from international servers. It’s all good, my friend.

Organized? You mean like The Pirate Bay? We have had the tools for decades, my friend.

Haha not if you use a VPN or international websites or pirate that shit.

That isn’t what most LLMs were designed for, though. It’s just one possible use case.

You think they haven’t started that?

Quality? Timely? … I disagree, but to each their own.

You always have to think like a scammer. Sure, OpenAI isn’t public yet. But there are many other industries that are piggybacking on OpenAI and related services. So you can invest in them instead.

Well, the stock market on the whole is about gambling. Legalized gambling that fucks over small-time investors. So … why should long-term viability matter? The gamblers want their cash, that’s what they’re there for, and they don’t care about bankruptcy or mass economic collapse.

You could always play the foreign exchange market. It’s an interesting idea, usually quite stupid, but if you get the timing of the USD collapse right, there’s money to be made.

Well that’s not true, is it. The values are insane, but sometimes insane situations occur, for a while, until the bubble bursts. Until it does, money is money, and people will spend it on things.
