Can we see the Congress Files now? Our congress members have spent millions of tax-payer dollars paying off their sexual assault and rape victims. And unlike the Epstein files there is no unsubstantiated gibberish submitted by crazy people that didn't withstand the smell test. One hundred percent of the content of the OCWR files will be substantiated and factual.

You think copyright applies in this industry? The AI companies certainly don't think it does.

It's hard to know. People have opinions that it might be happening, which is why I call for presidential action to be public, and not in the form of final signed papers. I want to be able to see the president making the decisions and taking the actions that affect everyone in the country.

In this day and age, 100% of all presidential acts need to be documented publicly. It's no longer enough to wave a piece of paper around and say "see, it has his signature." Random cabinet secretaries and white house staffers running papers through the autopen should be a capital crime and the only sentence should be hanging.

These sorts of project should be using the 68000 or the 65816 which both give a 24 bit address bus. Meaning they get 16 MB of address space to work with. They can make directly addressable frame buffers at high resolutions and reasonable color depths, and still have lots of memory available for programs and data.

I'm curious on why you think that, say, an M2 running linux will ever be a better choice for AI workloads than an M5 Pro running MacOS? What is it that you think is in the hardware that you'd be able to unlock with linux but isn't exposed by MacOS?

100% of AI use should have to be disclosed in all cases, not just software. A person using an AI is foregoing responsibility from the get go by using an AI to do things that they can't personally do. What would it even mean for them to be responsible if they submit a patch to a project written by an AI as their own work? Such a person submitting a patch they don't understand that is rejected is in exactly the same place as if they had never submitted a patch. They have nothing to lose.

Except writing patches to an existing project creates a derivative work, and the original copyright still applies to the project, even though your individual changes are owned by you.

(This is why fan made videos using copyrighted characters can be taken down.)

> So every week when World of Warcraft goes down for maintenance for a couple of hours. Blizzard should have to forfeit all of the subscribers money, since it is unusable for more than 5 minutes?

Yes. That's exactly what I wrote.

Or they can sell a product that doesn't have artificial and arbitrary self destruct dates.

I would say that it can be pretty simple to solve these problems. If a software company is going to implement a license server or a time limited certificate into a piece of software that will prevent the software from working, then they should be mandated to keep all customer payments in escrow and within 5 minutes of the software becoming unusable by the users, the money has to be returned, with interest and adjusted for inflation.

Skeuomorphism should make my life easier. But sometimes it goes against that. I want to have a button that prints my document, I don't want to have to operate a virtual letter press. Having a switch to turn something on and off that looks like a switch helps me. A screen door that is the lock activation isn't what I would expect.

We don’t jail guns, trucks, or pipe bombs. Why jail any other tool used in a crime?

If I made a big bimb, attached it to a Geiger counter and added a comparator so it explodes after some amount of decay has happened, was it a rogue bomb or did I build a device that could blow up an entire school and the use it a way in which that could happen?

Wonder if there could ever be enough damage resulting in the lake draining because the locks failed?
