I've warned before that any FOSS project incorporating AI output is doing so at their peril.

Previously people leaned on a federal circuit ruling that was *declined to be taken up by the supreme court* interpreting it as a free-for-all to LLM license-wash any project in translation, or really to incorporate any such materials and they would be public domain.

But that doesn't mean we have an answer! We've yet to see!

Annnnnnnnnd: I think we're likely to have that perspective upended soon.

The third circuit issued a recent ruling in the *opposite direction* of the previously well cited federal ruling, that AI training on copyrighted material is NOT fair use: https://www.courthousenews.com/ai-training-of-copyrighted-material-not-fair-use-third-circuit/

Annnnndddddd.... with a bunch of people trying to make LLM-generated decompilation replacements for Adobe's entire suite, we're likely to suddenly see corporations rear up angrily.

Just wait till someone tries to vibewash a Nintendo game decompilation. Hey, what do you think is gonna happen?

Rest in peace to one of the greatest female heroes in computer science history. 🫡

Universal Basic Income is scarcity-mindset, capital-captured thinking. We implement Universal Basic Needs Met - shelter, food, education, medicine, connectivity - and the productivity boom that society would see from every idiosyncratic, hypercommitted weirdo out there being freed up to do the hell out of whatever their idiosyncratic hypercommitted weirdo brains are hotwired to get up to and get done would be an economic miracle humanity has never seen before.

@mcc @mhoye UBI is adding more lanes to the highway instead of investing in public transit.

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

We made a comic about a mayfly.

love to see VLC in the news

also, look: this is how you do it

Tired: “Dogfooding”: Using the software you work on with unbridled happiness and glee, no consideration what it is
Wired: “Catfooding”: Looking at the software and saying “Fuck that shit. I ain’t using that”, and then going for a nap.

I was one of a number of patient scientists and advocates who was interviewed for this sympathetic, open access paper

"Patient's knowledge, doctor's ignorance: The production of knowledge about myalgic encephalomyelitis"
