Interacting with people whose tone doesn’t match their words may induce anxiety as well.

Have they actually proven this is a good idea, or is this a “so preoccupied with whether or not they could” scenario?

kibiz0r , 27 days ago to Technology in Top EU Court Says There’s No Right To Online Anonymity, Because Copyright Is More Important

It doesn’t seem like the ruling says copyright concerns justify overriding a right to anonymity under GDPR, but that the right to anonymity doesn’t exist in the first place.

I think that’s probably a better place to be, because it means they can legislate a right to anonymity.

As a developer, my default definition of “slow” is whether it’s slow on my machine. Not ideal, but chimp brain do chimp brain things. My eyes see my own screen all day, not yours.

This is why I said anything built on public work, should be public goods as well.

What if I don't want certain people to build on my work, or to constrain the ways in which the build on it? (Non-commercial, share-alike, attribution, etc. clauses) Should I be able to?

That’s not a good comparison. Crypto was a (bad) solution looking for a problem. GenAI already has use-cases.

I didn't mean to compare the technology -- though there are some similar scam vectors, but that's a different conversation.

I meant that there was a strong contingent of crypto fans back then who were saying -- correctly -- that "the mainstream system is corrupt and wields legislation as a weapon against consumers". But their proposed alternative was a system that removed all regulation, including consumer protections.

I worry that there's a trend in tech circles today that echoes that sentiment when it comes to AI.

I'm also rather disappointed that a substantial group of people who I used to assume I was aligned with -- pirates and open-sourcerers -- turned out to only be there for the free shit and not for the ethos.

An ethos which, to me, is something like: everyone has a right to participate in culture and be a part of the conversation, and everyone has a duty to acknowledge the work that enabled their own and do their best to be a good custodian of the upstream works.

Copyright law is broken. But I don't think that means we have no obligations to each other as human beings when we build on each other's work.

We had the same argument during the crypto craze. The financial system is broken, but 10 years later I think we all agree that crypto is pretty clearly not the answer.

kibiz0r , 1 month ago to Technology in Neuralink looks to the public to solve a seemingly impossible problem

How do you send 200x as much data?

You don’t. The external system needs to run an approximation of the internal system, which the internal system will also run and only transmit differences.

There you go. Solved it. (By delegating to a new problem.)
