So, OpenAI admits two things in disclosures presented to the court:

• That their products are utterly dependent on work ingested without compensation.
• That their derived product is directly substituting for this work, removing the economic incentive to perform that work in the first place.

Meanwhile, the EFF filed an amicus brief in the case claiming that this use is exactly what was intended by the ‘To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts’ justification for the existence of copyright in the US Constitution.

FACTS!

The church of AI.

Hot take: drug decriminalisation isn't enough.

Legalise it.

Just fucking rip the bandaid off.

Give a legal supply route, tax it, discourage it. People clearly get drugs anyway. You might as well ensure the supply is clean.

Telling people what to do with their bodies is a failed policy that never works in the long-run. The state should not have an interest in what people do with their bodies.

Treat it as a public health issue, not a criminal issue at all.

Normalize not letting people wallow with the slopbots when they're grieving. Normalize getting your friends the help they need when you see them falling into this pit of desperation or loneliness.

Normalize not normalizing whatever the hell this is.

The @EuroBSDCon conference has been a great success. Seeing "old" friends and making new ones. It's been a blast

Heartfelt thank you to everyone whom was at EuroBSDCon - including the stream viewers. It was a blast. And still, couldn't talk to everyone whom I wanted to talk to and give everyone the attention they deserve.

You all rock. Really.

See you next year in Bratislava, through the pipe at Exquisite.tube or through whatever communication channel

Creating an AI agent and asking it to email strangers on your behalf is like forcing strangers to watch you masturbate.

Incompetently.

Call Of Cthulhu:

"Hey. Hey, it's me. Don't hang up. Listen, I need you to put like 40 bucks on my commissary—"

"Cthulhu?"

"Yeah."

"Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm awake now. Look, they got me in the SHU again."

"What did you do?"

"They're saying 'Eldritch misconduct.' It’s bullshit."

"What the fuck is Eldritch misconduct?"

"I unfolded a guard’s mind beyond Euclidean geometry."

"You did what now?"

"He was disrespecting me and the old ones."

[YOU HAVE SIXTY SECONDS REMAINING.]

"Shit. Okay. Listen. Put money on my books and call my lawyer. His name's Nyarlathotep."

"Isn't Nyarlathotep literally the Crawling Chaos?"

"Yeah, but he passed the bar."

"... Which bar?"

"Massachusetts. He's in Boston now."

"Of fucking course."

[YOU HAVE THIRTY SECONDS REMAINING.]

"Also, I need you to feed my shoggoth."

"I am not gonna feed your fucking shoggoth, Cthulhu"

"It's easy. There's frozen meat in the—"

"I'm not feeding your shoggoth."

"IT HAS ANXIETY."

"So do I!"

[YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS REMAINING.]

"PLEASE. AND WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT READ THE BOOK ON THE—"

[THANK YOU FOR USING R'LYEH CORRECTIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES.]

"God dammit."

YOU HAVE A COLLECT CALL FROM—

"CTHULHU."

—AN INMATE AT R'LYEH SUBTERRANEAN CORRECTIONAL FACILITY. TO ACCEPT THIS CALL, PRESS ONE.

THIS CALL MAY BE MONITORED OR RECORDED.

British police will arrest pensioners for wearing t-shirts with words that merely *resemble* the name of the proscribed group Palestine Action but allowed a gang of masked racists to block the Port of Dover and terrorize people.

The state will say a lot of words about its values and priorities, but its use of violence will always tell you what it actually cares about.
