still to come, the sasquatch in Canada

are you talking about the brain?

nobody making enough money with a job, but there's a new way to tax them

i saw a commercial of a presumably 18 year old ignoring their family at dinner and gambling under the table on their phone and the line went something like "they dont need to know how much fun youre having!". this was during a baseball game im watching with kids. its totally fukt

turbo boost

propaganda

have you heard of this dude named karl marx?

hey there. fellow indie dev here. i feel you, i see copyright and ai slop ripoffs on the daily. in fact i used to be most upset seeing my opensource code show up in much bigger commercial projects unattributed (looking at you microsoft) but im here to tell you the real answer: you have to compete. you have to compete against the slop and the clones just like youre competing with the original ps and the gimps and the kritas already. it doesnt seem fair, it seems harder, and it is. but thats the truth. ai is out of the bottle. you can still make a better photopea than some dimwit ai and the loser trying to publish their clone, because you think about and obsess over and care about your product way more deeply. that manifests. and you might say why obsess when it can just be copied. and now you sound just like metallica did in 1999. welcome to 2026

that may be true, but doesnt change the outcome. that it's literal copyright infringement here is quaint: the same user can turn around and give us a new photopea clone with 0% matching code in about 10 minutes. then what?

there is no more software IP. ai does not need source: it can infer or deduce the logic or algos. and in the case of private software dont think it hasn't been sucked up too

there's the rub, ai cloned is not derivative in the copyright sense. we need to figure out what we value as a society here and let the law catch up. its wild right now
