@jamie I would not like to be in the position of trying to explain that to a judge though.

..But I don't see the argument that because there is some AI generated code in something that it would necessarily void the copyright on the human generated code.

@mattblaze solid point.

@mattblaze they're not.. doing... amazing. it's been a lot of coverup and misdirection, and keeping victims hushed up for a long time. I think the main kudos go to the British media staying on it and forcing their hand.

@petergleick *especially* right now.

@cascadepine he mad and rightfully so

yeaaah... Substack is a bad idea. Look into Outpost or Ghost, and stop supporting literal Nazis. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/feb/07/revealed-how-substack-makes-money-from-hosting-nazi-newsletters

...Inb4 "but we have Wikipedia now" GUESS WHAT WIKIPEDIANS USED AS A SOURCE

As an American, and a journalist, I can't express how upset I am that these demonic fuckers came for the CIA world fact book. It's literally the only good thing the CIA ever did, and it was wonderful. I remember discovering it as a kid, and it was like the first time you discovered Wikipedia.

It's just evil. It's destroying something because it was good. It makes no sense! Afaik, they didn't even give a reason. Destroy, destroy, destroy.

@fluidlogic you got a lot of masto olds here

@DeliaChristina common market?

@dymaxion I'm pretty sure without looking that I've been boycotting them since I was born

@cstross 100% getting ignored by musk with zero consequences.
