I actually feel so fucking dumb today for assuming the US justice system would do anything other than legalize the widespread theft of peoples’ ideas and works by AI companies.

I am pondering removing all my books for sale online and not bothering finishing writing the one that is in progress. There is no point.

The AI folks have won and I am too small and insignificant to make a dent in their efforts.

I hope my peers who are eagerly embracing these tools choke on them.

@grmpyprogrammer I agree, but the licensing becomes so incredibly complex. Look at the absolute nightmare that is music licensing, for example.. it is a VERY complex problem

@codinghorror It’s just the FUCK YOU in all caps and neon that we get from the folks who wanted to send teens to prison for using Napster that really gets to me.

@codinghorror @grmpyprogrammer that’s a bit of a cop out. Yes the licensing would be complex. But the contents shouldn’t have been stolen, so it shouldn’t have mattered in the first place.
