I’d love to see lawsuits force Microsoft and Nvidia and OpenAI to open source everything they had AI touch 😁

GPL absolutely should cover shit like this. Training an LLM on your code makes it definitionally a derivative work, therefore it must be licensed under GPL too (with limited fair use exceptions which shouldn’t apply here). The problem is that the US government is not willing to enforce this at all, because it is owned by the same billionaires as the AI companies.

Reddit is a bad example because it’s still readable without an account and almost uncensored outside politics. You can also still query Reddit explicitly reasonably fine by adding “Reddit” to your search in DuckDuckGo or Google.
Reddit’s enshittification is in the optional buyable reactions (which make posts and comments way more visible than voting is able to), their automated moderation, and making automated moderation for sub mods harder.
Using it as a library is what didn’t get enshittified.

TL;DR version: Those intrusive thoughts of “obliterating everything they love” can be tempting, but there are better alternatives. “Vote blue no matter what” could change to something better, more pro-working class, something fool-proof, something even the dumbest person can understand what it’s about, because right now, I don’t think I’m lying when I say that more than half of the entire world doesn’t even know what “red vs blue” really means. They know it’s politics, but, if you asked them what they think each means… Holy Toledo.

I have lost people to both democrat and republican presidents already, but I’d still choose a democrat, don’t get me wrong on that. It’s just that you still deserve so, so much better than what you currently have in that party.

Long version, for the chads with big dicks:

Those intrusive thoughts feel tempting because we keep seeing the top 1% happily sacrificing millions of innocent lives for their own pleasure, which is a reason I have a profound hate for bodyguards and anyone who works in the manufacture of weapons, bombs, bullets… Everything related to destruction. Whoever is giving the metal the shape, engineering the design, or even the janitor cleaning the office of those engineers so they can feel comfortably happy while designing the next drone that will blow the heads of some poor Muslim children… I have to say that “obliterating everything they love” is still not a good choice.

I think putting them in jail permanently is enough of a message. Forgiving their children and family members that can prove to be genuinely different is also an important message. Killing them would make us look too barbaric, which puts the reputation at risk, and therefor the trust, even if it happens 200+ years later. We’d just have to be consistent and keep hardening the law. It has to be done en masse too; a massive wave around the world of people taking the power and using it to put all these corrupt assholes in the worst cells possible. No Pablo Escobar/Ghislaine Maxwell vacation jail bullshit.

I don’t think we will be able to stop the angriest people from passionately assassinating some of these assholes before we do that, but I won’t stop them nor argue against them either, because I have personally lost family members in Lebanon and here in Mexico to these monsters, let alone all the innocent people throughout history, everywhere. I hate it. All that potential art and talent wasted just to please one boring psychopath asshole nobody likes, but is rich enough (because he exploited and killed others to enrich themselves) to feed us or not. We don’t really need to keep suffering to create good art either as many think. We have enough History and drama to create an endless amount of content that’d keep us entertained and happy.

The voting blue no matter what, I hope it’s innocent deep down, but so far, I think only a small number of democrats are actually decent people, imo. The majority are under AIPAC’s command, they cannot even condemn the genocide in Gaza. They don’t want to stop funding Israel either, so. Instead of “voting blue no matter what,” I think the message should be more keen to something for the people, not some “blind support and loyalty to the party” nonsense.

“Vote for people, not parties.”

“Loyalty to the people, not the party.”

“People first, parties second.”

“Represent us or lose us.”

“Vote for the policies and actions, not because the candidate has a D next to their name.”

I don’t know, anything but a 1984-esque one like “vote blue no matter who.” I wish people used one that focused on Humanity, on the people, not some dick-measuring contests.

It’s just my fantasy, it won’t happen, but whatever. I say that because I am sure the majority of the world, and I mean this: more than 60%, easily, of the entire planet, doesn’t even know what “red vs blue” even really means, honestly. Like, they know it’s about politics, but if you asked them what they think they mean… Oh, brother. A lot of people genuinely believe “communism and socialism are exactly the same thing and they both mean being lazy, being dirt poor all the time, and introducing homeless people in your home. Nothing else.”

I am sure a lot of them are loyal to the red or blue party just because “it’s their favorite color.” Fuck that shit. Use a slogan that is fool-proof. One that even the dumbest motherfucker can understand what’s it’s about, and it’s about Class Consciousness, about the Working Class, about the People, about being paid a livable wage, being paid what you’re truly worth, that people deserve to see themselves at their full potential before they die, etc. Not some party, not some oligarchs, not Chuck Schumer and his stupid glasses. I have lost people to both democrat and republican presidents already, but I’d still choose a democrat, don’t get me wrong on that. It’s just that you still deserve so, so much better than what you currently have in that party.

Don’t be a conformist; the Jeffrey Epstein Class worked so hard the past decades to turn us into conformists who are slowly normalizing this way of living. I hope we manage to flip that shit over and remove those broken psychopath weirdos.

they can still impersonate you. the checkmark has lost its meaning when everybody has it.

The messenger matters.

Would you care about anything I was saying if I was a bot?

Or a Musk/Theil bootlicker?

Especially on this topic. Nodding heads about the loss of the internet to engagement chum on Twitter is the opposite of poetic.

I think twitter also might still give blue check marks to “important” people it’s just available for anyone to buy now

Well, he tweets many times a day, many posts like this:

…Seems like a “Tech Bro” Silicon Valley type to me. He’s just engagement farming; I don’t care what he says, there nothing valid about that.

In fact, I’d wager some of those posts are automated.

I meant it more as a general thing - I should have said “we” instead.

They actually seem pretty chill about it here in New Zealand. My dad and I had one ISP notice in the early 2000s, but I’ve downloaded absolutely shitloads since and we haven’t heard a peep.

Nowadays I tend to use Usenet anyway; the speed of even the healthiest torrents pales in comparison.
