We're in a hotel and Sundance TV is playing law and order at 1.1x or so. We weren't sure if it was sped up but I have All of L&O on Plex and I could sync it up. The TV got ahead of the original version very quickly. Gross!

When I was a kid and I heard obiwan say he had not heard that name in a "long time" I always assumed he was hundreds of years old, not that he was talking about events that took place 20 years ago. Even at my age (mid 40s), 20 years is practically yesterday. George Lucas was 33 when ANH came out... So I guess that tracks.

Close out @furcationland on a high note with another electric fullsuit set by Laelia! If you missed her at ANE this is your chance to catch the magic! Sunday, 8pm, don't be late.

Last boost: the copyright questions around LLM code are unanswered and worrying. What does it mean for an open source project to have non copyrightable code? This is a question for the lawyers. If projects are forced to revert all LLM commits to be compliant with the GPL or something.... The disruption would be massive.

PSA: following the example from various other projects within GNOME (such as Loupe and libadwaita), GNOME Calendar now explicitly forbids AI-generated contributions, with the same policy: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/725

We honor the exquisite art of organic homegrown code made with care and a willingness to learn the craft, and want to protect the time of people who help review merge requests.

A reminder that the past is a fun diversion at best, and not a solution to anything. Swapping out your phone for iPods and digicams is a vintage hobby, not the basis of a realistic political worldview.

The Rise of the Techno-Pastoral

When criticizing the present, we keep dreaming of the technology of the past. Is this logic sound?

I 100% understand and support an anti-AI coding stance, but I'm seeing more and more people assert that everyone hates it and it never works. Unlike gen-art, unlike generated legal opinions, generated code is actually starting to produce good results, and more and more of my colleagues are using it, and as I review the code they produce, I can't just dismiss it as slop.

I'm not asking anyone to change their opinion or abandon the fight against AI. I'm just warning that asserting that "everyone hates it and it doesn't work" is ... increasingly incorrect. Effective arguments need to speak to the reality of the situation.
