> proof they did it knowingly and willingly

But the emails from MZ explicitly approving LibGen leeching don’t count?

Limited liability doesn’t shield execs from personal accountability for illegal acts - money and power does.

No one is sweeping mens rea under the carpet. That he knew what he was doing isnt in dispute - its that the punishment didnt fit the crime. If that standard were applied evenly, then the CEOs of certain AI companies would each be facing millennia in prison for the volume of copyright infringement they knowingly and wilfully performed.

> Its a long way from even Cornwall to the North of Scotland

Indeed, driving from Land’s End to John o’Groats is basically the same distance as the longest drive across Texas!

> I'm surprised at this reaction to a prototype game implementing an idea I had.

Just ignore it Gwern.

There is a vocal minority here who like to complain about any output generated by AI as if all writing is some sanctified art form rather than a means of communication.

I love your writings. I also found the AI writeup of the project well structured and easy to read.

More like 2 years of your £10 a week paper round for that £10m return.

> What we are seeing here is a Luddite reaction from artisans.

They are hardly artisans. They are simply the vocal few who repeatedly conflate communication with art simply because the written word can be used for both.

Equally confused with this. They must be using a lot more guidance than just the provided prompt.

It’s the adverb of agentic, which is an adjective to describe something as having agency. I get it was a snark on the word, but it’s actually a legitimate pre-ai term.

> 7 t/s not sure how you can use this

80 t/s - maybe you need to finish reading a sentence before you comment on it?

Aren’t many of the greatest problems obscure to the lay?

> no one said it would be easy

You literally said “It's not hard”
