  • I don’t really understand how you can say both of these things at the same time:

    I tried to do some research here, but I didn’t manage to find any conclusive articles or discussions on the matter.

    and

    As both dynamic and static linking in the EU is generally considered as a question of interoperability rather than derivative work, linking-wise virality of licenses like GPL are basically void over here.

    If you can point to a law that specifically excludes dynamic linking as creating a derivative work then I’d be interested to see it, but surely that would count as a “conclusive discussion on the matter”!?

    Note that countries in Europe do not use Common Law, so legal precedent is not as important as in Anglo-Saxon countries and that means that in every case the judge will have to inspect and interpret the relevant statutes.




  • The whole concept that allowing the free expression of objectionable ideas will allow them to be dissected and disproven in the cold light of public debate, has itself been disproven over and over for at least the past decade.

    We live in a different era, where partisanship and propaganda are so powerful that there is no longer an authoritative voice that the general public trusts. The government is distrusted, the both-sides-BBC is distrusted, the broadsheets that turned into clickbait farms are distrusted.

    We have to stop giving oxygen to fascists in the hope that people will just see how wrong they are. I don’t care what people attending this march really believe. What I care about is that people preaching hate should not have a platform, anywhere, under any circumstances.


  • No, and I’m tired of hearing legitimate and important criticisms of LLMs and the whole AI industry start with “There are things AI is good for but…”

    There is so much wrong with this technology, how it was created, how it’s being pushed, how it’s being funded, how it affects us, and all of the necessary discussion is being pre-emptively watered down by this prevarication of critics, just to pander to the AI-brained robot-fuckers that can’t bear to hear that their favourite toy that allows them to role-play as being competent is just a piece of abusive shit designed to make us stupider and trap us in an endless dependency on the new oligarchs’ expensive infrastructure while giving them a convenient scapegoat for all of their malicious acts, propaganda and history rewriting.

    There is nothing that LLMs are good for, and every time you make excuses for it, you’re tightening the noose around your own neck, and all of the people that come after us.
