  • When I read about people worrying about that, I always wonder how many people don’t turn their oven off immediately before or after taking out the food they prepared in it?! Assuming that it’s been a while since the last time you used it, why would it ever be on?

    Now forgetting to properly turn the oven on (turning only one of the two knobs necessary to turn it on) when preparing food, that has definitely happened to me too a few times. :(










  • The vast majority of things I see, I neither upvote nor downvote. They have to be either extraordinarily good (exactly what I would have written or extraordinarily insightful) or extraordinarily bad (bad faith, blatant falsehood) for me to do that. When I disagree with something, I write a reply explaining why, or upvote one if there already is one, but I don’t downvote what I merely disagree with.








  • current GPL licenses doesn’t protect them from A.I. scrapping their work

    The legal status of AI scraping is not dependent on a specific license.

    It’s dependent on whether copyright law requires permission from a copyright holder to train AI on their work. This is, as far as I know, not (mostly) a legally settled question yet.

    All a license can do is permit things that would otherwise not be permitted. If copyright law doesn’t require that kind of permission, then it doesn’t matter what the author wrote in the license, they won’t be able to successfully sue for copyright infringement.

    Meanwhile, if copyright law does require permission from copyright holders for training AI on their works, then the GPL already does what you want to achieve, because then anything generated from such an AI is already a derivative work.
