- Comment on WordPress Forces Users to Agree That Pineapple Is Good on Pizza 5 days ago:
I don’t understand why people keep harping against pineapple on pizza, which works well as a sweet/salty contrast, but completely ignore when America was obsessed with anchovies on pizza.
If anything, that would be a topping that even less of the population would agree on being good on pizza.

- Comment on Man who won art competition with AI-generated image now says people are stealing his work 2 months ago:
You can convince people that AI is capable of original works, or you can convince people that AI is nothing but a tool to remix and mashup other people’s artwork.
What is original and what is a remix and mashup of other people’s artwork? For every example of “original artwork” you could provide, I can show you how it’s derivative of other people’s artwork.
We’ve been copying and remixing creative ideas for centuries. There’s no such thing as “original works”.

- Comment on The Internet Archive’s Fight to Save Itself 2 months ago:
while OpenAI & friends have been infringing copyright on a much, much bigger scale, and getting away with it.
Based on what? Distributing numbers in a big database doesn’t infringe on copyright, and downloading a web page or image doesn’t either.
- Comment on The Internet Archive’s Fight to Save Itself 2 months ago:
And I am of the opinion that spreading access to knowledge is vastly more important than copyright laws made decades before the internet was a thing. Especially when is comes to US copyright laws being forced upon the rest of the world.
Breaking the law is not how you change copyright laws. Ironically, AI is the best way to crack copyright laws like an egg, but everybody seems to be vehemently opposed to it.
- Comment on The Internet Archive’s Fight to Save Itself 2 months ago:
Not sure why this is getting downvoted. It’s completely accurate.
They pushed this “digital library” idea to even beyond their own definition, got punished for it, and now they are at-risk of losing their core function. Corporations and alt-right shills would love to get rid of any trace of accountability, and this is one avenue that calls them out on the bad shit they post online.

Can’t we just have it not available? At all? I don’t think people want a bunch of screenshots getting stolen.

“Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week”
Yes, you’re right. There isn’t a thing that requires this. You shouldn’t be required to do so.
The problem with naming a company an idiotic name like “Nothing” is that it’s so easy to make who’s-on-first jokes.

Let’s go one step further and require robocallers to disclose that they are robocallers.

- Comment on Microsoft open-sources infamously weird, RAM-hungry MS-DOS 4.00 release 7 months ago:
Even if they were, it would be easy to just decompile and figure it out. Even DOS 5.0 would make more sense to open-source.
This is just another argument to revert copyright laws back to 25 years, and give this tech back to the rightful owners: public domain.

LLMs are still good for the kind of flowery language you need in HR, but not for any sort of fact-based generation.
Think of it as being creative, not logical.
- Comment on U.S.: Responding to the “gunshot detection” tool ShotSpotter, a Chicago police officer opened fire on an unarmed teenager 8 months ago:
I know they aren’t from the US, because an American wouldn’t ask such nationally-ignorant questions.
- Comment on U.S.: Responding to the “gunshot detection” tool ShotSpotter, a Chicago police officer opened fire on an unarmed teenager 8 months ago:
What is even the purpose of this post? If you’re going to be so ignorant of US history, at least don’t act so high and mighty about your implications.
How do Americans still allow guns to be so easily available?
The 2nd Amendment, for one. It’s a constitutional amendment that hasn’t changed since the Constitution was written. It’s also the 2nd, and not say, the 20th. It requires a 2/3rds majority in Congress to change a constitutional amendment, and that sure as fuck ain’t happening with today’s batshit crazy GOP. They can’t even keep their own party together with the right-wing crazies having fights with the extremely-right wing House majority leaders because they have the gall to “compromise”, which is the whole fucking point of Congress.
Besides, all of this talk of “banning guns” is unproductive. If you want to make change, start with regulations. Canada’s got a shit ton of guns, and nobody’s bitching about them, because they are properly regulated.
Isn’t it well past the point where incidents involving guns should almost never happen?
What the fuck does this question even mean? Is what “well past the point”? Why would “incidents involving guns” should almost never happen? Brits have gun bans, and they still have gun incidents.
Banning a thing doesn’t make it go away. I thought we learned this shit with the War on (some) Drugs.

- Comment on Mr Robot: Full Series Retrospective 10 months ago:
Yea, it makes me miss /r/itsaunixsystem a bit. We would make fun of bad TV computer hacks, but Mr. Robot was the one show that stayed true to actual hacking and social engineering. Every time somebody tried to post a screenshot from the series and say that it was Hollywood fakery, it would get a bunch of responses back sourcing the real thing.
