It’s me, the fragile white tech bro they warned you about. Baby associate at $law_firm and hobby developer (web, PL, systems/rtos) with a CS degree. I have a little too much fun writing RSS integration.

My posts aren’t a substitute for legal advice. (In fact, they’re probably better classified as *illegal* advice.) I am a lawyer; I’m not YOUR lawyer and I don’t presently take clients from the internet. Everything I say is my own opinion and does not reflect the opinions of my employer or anyone else. Boosts aren’t endorsement.

Strictly anti-LLM and privacy-conscious. Queer-friendly and always will be.

@endrift what really interests me is whether Anthropic will argue and if so will prevail in saying that the system prompts are copyrightable. From what we know about LLM output, the codebase of Claude Code should fail to satisfy the human authorship requirement if it’s LLM generated, but there’s a greater chance a human wrote the system prompts. The question with those is whether they are actually expressive works or just functional. Scenes a faire and merger doctrine both trim the edges on a work’s expressivity by deciding parts of a work are so ubiquitous or insignificant that they don’t deserve protection, so then the inquiry is how much of a prompt is left after that.

Are they sending real DMCA notices or just platform based requests?

Absolutely absurd how finicky these little pads are (32 awg for the usb data lines, 30 awg for the vbus sense line, if it was a charging line I’d melt it but it gets a maximum of less than 1ma when plugged)

Does a doctor have a First Amendment right to tell you that ingesting arsenic will cure your athlete's foot? Why would that be different from this?
