That's just the point: nobody knows! It might be my code. It might be your code. Nobody knows who they stole it from.

Good question! Why are you paying for some tool that has always been beholden to some faraway master's opaque agenda?

Your "code that Claude makes..."?

Oh, how I laughed. That was never your code, my friend.

Webrings are also seeing some revival. Seems that actual curation by actual human beings is better than algorithmic or "AI" slop.

I'm disappointed. Where's the ashtray?

I'm forced to disagree. Catastrophic failure would be a feature not a bug. "Natural selection against stupidity."

The trouble with that notion is this: imagining that a plastic-based ecosystem arises (horrifying thought!) it means that there are life-forms capable of deriving energy from plastics, breaking them down. That makes plastics useless to us humans, because any time we try to use plastics for all the things we currently do with them, those life-forms are going to come along and attack, break down the stuff we deem "useful plastics"; the critters will make no distinction between nurdles lost on the beach and the plastics holding your car/house/clothes/aeroplane together. i.e. It's Game Over for plastics use.
