"…a damning new study could put #AI companies on the defensive. In it, #Stanford and #Yale researchers found compelling evidence that #AImodels are actually copying all that data, not “learning” from it. Specifically, four prominent LLMs — OpenAI’s GPT-4.1, Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, xAI’s Grok 3, and Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet — happily #reproduced lengthy excerpts from #popular — and #protected — #works, with a stunning degree of #accuracy." https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-industry-recall-copyright-books

Dear frog in the pot, what you got for $20 now comes with the $100 plan. We’ve added a little boost to make it feel like an upgrade.
To boil or be boiled, that is the question.

A few thoughts on Astral / OpenAI, now that the emotions have sat for a bit.

First, let me start by noting that AI is an attack on open source, inherently, by necessity, and at a structural level. That argument is bigger than Astral, but the short version is that you cannot simultaneously expand the public commons and work towards it's enclosure; moreover, if the public commons do not stand for the public good, then it's not really a commons any more.

Freedom shouldn’t mean to be able to make poor choices so that others can prey on it.
Freedom should just be about having a peaceful life.

Those… those pesky hierarchies, yes… it’s their fault, nasty things… always making everything messy, yes… But our precious relational model, oh yes… it’s better… much better, my precious… so clean, so elegant… and they doesn’t understand it, no… they never understands our precious…

Hey it looks like Google now hallucinates excerpts and references. The link to Wikipedia is broken and the page is not in the deletion log!
What a time to be alive 🍿!

If I had to write the reader for a lisp, I would make the comma works like: (a b, c d e, f) would read as ((a b) (c d e) (f))

Note to self: support tagged strings in next languages so that formatters can know when and how to reflow.

According to Valve, they managed to run pretty much all x86 games (so far) on their new ARM-based PCs thanks to this FOSS project:

https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX

This runs together with Proton to seamlessly transcode Windows x86 games for Steam OS on ARM. FOSS is THAT cool!
