GeoCities unfortunately doesn’t exist anymore, but there’s NeoCities now.

For a few minutes, anyway…

Oh don’t worry, the pedos will do their best to funnel them off platform.

Do not funnel children into the den of pedophiles.

Maybe that’s because a ton of public figures are being brazenly fascist in public

Only Nazis and those too similar to tell apart are friends with Nazis.

(-27)^2/3

3³ = 27 => 3 = 27^1/3 => -3 = (-27)^1/3 => (-27)^2/3 = ((-27)^1/3)² = (-3)² = 9

I’ve been playing through this and collecting the RetroAchievements for it. I keep picking up my handheld for other games before deciding to tackle a few more puzzles instead. I’ll be both relieved and a little disappointed to finish it.

What does Gnome dislike about the idea so much?

Nothing more offensive to a capitalist than trying to get your money back

But what were talking about isn’t implemented a flawed system, it’s improving one that’s already flawed, and the result still wouldn’t be perfect but it’s better than what currently exists

Except this is something we disagree on. I do not agree that the massive extensions to copyright are anything other than deeply flawed.

And it doesn’t prevent passing even better laws further down the line, but I think you know that creating new more comprehensive survivor benefits that would cover everyone is a much harder sell than a comparatively small tweak to copyright laws.

“But it’d be hard to do it right, let’s just bandaid it with more flaws.”

And if we remove those copyright benefits before those new systems are ready, you’re leaving people in the lurch without any safety net until those new systems can be created (if in fact they ever are)

I could maybe, maaaaybe, agree to a big shift with a grandfather clause. Anything already published would then get the old rules, and anything new would get the new, much less restrictive rules. I’d still rather just fix it properly, though.

Just because the system is flawed doesn’t mean we should implement even more flaws in the system to cover some of the old ones. If providing for retirement and a family that survives the early death of their provider are your priorities, let’s work out systems to ensure everyone gets the support we can both agree should be provided. Depending on inherited IP rights and depending on an employer to contribute to retirement are both deeply flawed plans, and we’d be better off doing something like eliminating the cap on social security taxes so we can make sure everyone’s retirement is covered and that survivor benefits are sufficient.

My guy, what do you think the state of benefits in the US is? Most people would consider themselves lucky to get a 401k match from their employer. So in effect, the artist gets more to leave behind than most Americans.

Even that’s kinda ridiculous. Why are we inhibiting everyone so your child can profit off something they never touched and that you finished 50 years ago? You had the rest of your damn life to figure out how to profit off it.

I think that’s largely true in the US, at least.

More accurately, if you claim you used Claude, I will assume absolutely anything produced with it has a high chance of being rife with errors. If you provided citations for every last detail and then said Claude put it together, I wouldn’t trust it until I’ve personally verified the sources because not only will it hallucinate details, it’ll hallucinate sources. Anything produced with it is inherently untrustworthy.

Yeah, but the only source explicitly provided in this hypothetical is the hallucination machine.

Because we don’t see all that research, we just see a comment where you said you asked the hallucination machine, so now, if I want to use anything you said, I have to go duplicate all that research before I can trust it.

You’re spending more effort to be a smug prick than it would take to just rattle off an example or three. Sounds more to me like you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about and just want to publicly stroke your… Ego.

You don’t blame the knife when people get stabbed, so why blame AI for code it generated on the developer’s behalf?

Because creating a knife doesn’t require a tens of MW data center that runs on gas turbines, making the surrounding area unlivable with noise pollution. It doesn’t require stealing knowledge from the entire world and then selling us our own knowledge back. It doesn’t help billionaires lay off tens of thousands of us.

can’t take people seriously, because most people pick and choose when it’s convenient to be moral and ethical.

So you’re using other people’s moral flexibility to justify your own rather than taking any sort of stance of your own, cool.

Same people who don’t like AI pollution are using cars and plastics in their daily lives and would absolutely flip out if someone would ask them to give it up for the environment.

Using cars as an example is a bit disingenuous since in the US, at least, huge swathes of the nation are simply not built for pedestrians; buying and maintaining a car is the hidden tax you pay to the auto industry instead of the government. There are plenty of places in the US where it is not safe to bike or walk. Some of us are pissed about it, but what are we supposed to do until infrastructure is massively reworked at exorbitant cost?

AI is just the current “trend” to hate and be moral about because not many people are depending on it yet in ther day to day life.

This is nothing more than an attempt to downplay the issue so you can ignore it.
