If you're finding yourself on the same side of history as the RIAA, that is a sign to switch to a different side of history at mach speed.

I need to be able to pin other people's posts to my profile without needing to qrt

I'm surprised that restaurant drink dispensers don't work on a pay-at-dispenser model, even penny pinching ones like Disney's

Okay using my monthly allowance of one quote dunk on this. This is vibes-based jurisprudence that puts the Candyland fantasy of what position OP feels authors oughta hold in society over the reality that the law is a blunt instrument, and IP is used mostly to bludgeon artists into poverty.

As long as we are just vibe lawyering IP, the sort of anti-AI IP protectionism feels just like the MPAA and RIAA corporatism of the 2000s and the anti-sampling corporatism of the 1980s. "That sounds wrong to me."

How do I interpret these logs

I am literally doing mathematical research right now using an AI as an assistant and i assure you. It can count to ten.

I fully believe that modern authors would be against public libraries if they were proposed today.

What type system features are missing from Haskell extensions that would lead to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Templat...

We need to invent a Youtuber who is smart

I think intellectual property is the dark mirror of immigration law, in that people’s intuitive sense of what existing IP law allows is far more restrictive than the reality while their intuitive sense of what existing immigration law allows is far more permissive than the reality
