Bluesky isn't exactly a twitter clone, it's what Jack wanted Twitter to pivot to, but the board of directors refused to play ball.

So Jack spun up a separate entity and explicitly made it its own thing outside of twitter.

That always seems to be the rub. You can make these breakthroughs in a lab, but if they can't be translated to manufacturing, then it's not a huge achievement.

There was a study linked around somewhere in the last few days that said that political ideology was a greater factor in people's religious choices than the inverse.

I wandered into a Scientology center back around 2004 or so, they had left an e-reader sitting out.

It's an analog ohmmeter. The one I saw had fucking alligator clips attached to two tin cans to act as handles.

My day job at the time used multimeters, and one of them was an old analog meter. I played with it, and the e-reader. They're the same thing.

Part of it was Reagan massively weakened antitrust law after Ma Bell was broken up.

The only reason why Tesla is a profitable company with an insane stock price, is that Elon Musk has been using it to sell scammy carbon credits to other automakers.

So yeah, the entire system has been a government mandated scam used to lower taxes on the worst polluters.

Facebook Hired Joel fucking Kaplan right after he left the Bush White House. Kaplan personally exempted rightwing conspiracy news sites from Facebook's truth standards, while also deprioritizing more overtly left leaning sites.

He personally nixed any change to the Facebook algorithm that would reduce the radicalization pipeline.

Oh, and he also stuffed Facebook management with right-wing yes men.

And for the next 40 years it will likely remain science fiction.

So there's no point in fucking up all the case law for something that doesn't exist. Seriously, copyright needs to be cut down, not expanded further. It's already the life of the author plus 70 years. How does that even work? Copyright is meant to get humans to produce more creative works, so how the fuck does that work after death?

The answer is, corporations that don't die. They want more control, and want AI to make shit, so they don't have to pay real people to do it.

So no. No copyright for theoretical AI. no copyright for monkeys with names assigned by some third party. Just stop trying to expand copyright.

It's a good thing that AI isn't capable of being oppressed or enslaved. Because it's currently less AI and more, janky code that does a thing, and sometimes does it correctly.

When an AI can make that argument for themselves, then the law can change, until then, a human must be part of the creative process to hold copyright.

A classic example is the monkey selfie. There's no copyright because there was no human involved in the creation of the selfie.

The thing is, the LLM doesn't actually know anything, and lies about it.

So you go to How Stuff Works now, and you get bullshit lies instead of real information, you'll also get nonsense that looks like language at first glance, but is gibberish pretending to be an article. Because sometimes the language model changes topics midway through and doesn't correct, because it can't correct. It doesn't actually know what it's saying.

See, these language models are pre-trained, that the P in chatGPT. They just regurgitate the training data, but put together in ways that sort of look like more of the same training data.

There are some hard coded filters and responses, but other than that, nope, just a spew of garbage out from the random garbage in.

And yet, all sorts of people think this shit is ready to take over writing duties for everyone, saving money and winning court cases.
