What is DD supposed to mean?

Nit: Please don’t use obscure acronyms when writing things to an international audience without defining them first… DD can mean so many different things

My bad, I assumed everyone knew parent. Quick click on his profile will tell you what DD is.

Due diligence — pretty standard acronym in this community.

We aren’t on WSB. DD can mean datadog, domain driven, design driven, data driven, etc

No it's not, and I've been here more than a decade.

Luckily for us, the cohorts don't need to have statistical significance because people aren't talking about statistics. They are talking about the broad shared experiences of most people born in a given range of years.

Named generations are a marketing tool, it’s a concept as garbage as astrology

Its a name for a generation a decade wide. I really don't get your hate for it?!

There is absolutely no reason to have that being forced at full speed on the entire world without consent, no. That’s a completely insane thing to say

> Copyright law still protects programmers when their work is unlawfully copied. They can still bring copyright infringement claims if someone uses a model to reproduce their code. Additionally, the plaintiffs’ contract claims against the AI companies are still in play. The specific holding here was narrow but important: that the absence of copyright information from a new work does not mean, by itself, that someone illegally removed it.

I’m not sure I fully understand their argument. If you reproduce the copyrighted work, minus the copyright information, the result is exactly the same as just… removing the copyright information. At least in the case of something digital.

Anyone can help clarify why it is seen as a win? I don't really buy the “small developers will be sued by large corporation for years and forced to settle”

> Anyone can help clarify why it is seen as a win?

Because the EFF is generally not very pro-copyright and certainly, at a minimum, hates the DMCA.

>I don't really buy the “small developers will be sued by large corporation for years and forced to settle”

I (a copyright litigator) don't buy it either.

> EFF is generally not very pro-copyright

Did they forget that the entirely of GPL is built on the foundation of copyright?

Wouldn't surprise me, seems to be the case for many of the users here as well.

Yeah, the vast majority of people in FLOSS don’t understand that copyright is what enables FLOSS to exist in the first place

Copyright currently is what allows FLOSS to exist. In a vanishingly unlikely hypothetical future copyright-free USA (the legal transition to which, I believe, would almost certainly violate the First Amendment by chilling speech), new laws could be passed to provide copyright-like protection only for FLOSS-licensed works.

So it'd just be copyright again? Fascinating.

When you said

> EFF is generally not very pro-copyright

I thought you and the other replies downthread of your comment were referring to the current implementation of copyright, rather than the concept of copyright. From what I've read, EFF generally supports the concept of copyright. If I misinterpreted you, I apologize. In my reply to dgellow's comment, which included

> copyright is what enables FLOSS to exist in the first place

, I was simply arguing that the current implementation of copyright theoretically could be reduced overall in a way that would not weaken the legal power of FLOSS licenses.

Because the EFF is no longer the organization that may have represented your values in 2000. Foundations go evil, co-opted and bought out.

The entire article is a pro-AI shill piece from start to finish. The EFF now sells out open source.

Cramer is infamous for being a terrible forecaster, and still has a large audience. Which tells you there is more at play than being good at forecasting, you also have to sell a good story

Have you watched HBO’s Silicon Valley? Does a surprisingly good job at defining that subculture

I was in NYC during a no king protest, it was the lamest public demonstration I ever experienced given how bad the circumstances are. On a weekend, everything was done after ~2-3h, then back to work as usual on Monday. If you miss that short period of time you wouldn’t even notice something happened.

If there is one thing you can all learn from Europe is how to do a protest that cannot be ignored by your administration

Trump wants the violence. There's a difference between protesting a government that will follow the rules even if the people don't, and protesting a government that won't follow the rules even if the people do.

I mean, for the general public it was pretty clear the US was very likely to be at fault here. But for a UN report you generally expect a way higher level of evidence and standard for the analysis (in practice it’s not always the case though, some UN reports are sometimes fairly shallow, always good to skim through them and not rely only on the reporting if you want the nuanced story)

What does any of this have to do with the legality of distilling Claude?

> use these services if you want, but know that you're supporting aggressive escalations and companies that very clearly don't give a flying fuck about violating the law, much less your ToS

From my European point of view the same risk/concerns apply when using US providers

It comforts Americans to believe their exceptionalism is both persistent/eternal and fully justified.

Replying to a massive, blatant cyberattack with "lol America would prolly do the same" is not helpful nor rational. I am under no illusions about the exceptionalism of my state, especially considering the ongoing fascist self-coup. That's not the end of this discussion, not by a long shot.
