>it seems likely that it's going to be on the LLM user to know if the out is protected by copyright.

To me, this is what seems more insane! If you've never read Harry Potter, and you ask an LLM to write you a story about a wizard boy, and it outputs 80% Harry Potter - how would you even know?

> there will be probably be some "reasonable belief" defence in eventual laws.

This is probably true, but it's irksome to shift all blame away from the LLM producers, using copy-written data to peddle copy-written output. This simply turns the business into copyright infringement as a service - what incentive would they have to actually build those "secondary search thingies" and build them well?

> it definitely isn't as simple as "LLM wrote it so we can ignore copyright".

Agreed. The copyright system is getting stress tested. It will be interesting to see how our legal systems can adapt to this.

> how would you even know?

The obvious way is by searching the training data for close matches. LLMs need to do that and warn you about it. Of course the problem is they all trained on pirated books and then deleted them...

But either way it's kind of a "your problem" thing. You can't really just say "I invented this great tool and it sometimes lets me violate copyright without realising. You don't mind do you, copyright holders?"

This is a frustrating comment. Please elaborate with a real point! Just highlighting something that used to be the case, does not imply that it should always be the case, nor does it imply that it reflects the case now.

Wow, I might need to steal that idea for bypassing Jira discussions. I hate Jira with all my might.

Please do. It works!

I don't think most folks are both interested and trying to sit in mindless meetings (like my JIRA example).

That JIRA example is particularly annoying. It's a product team (with an external consultant) using JIRA to track progress. But like anything with a reporting component, people are now optimizing toward what's reported - not toward real work. Success in a week (or sprint) is number of tickets closed not whether anything actually happened.

I declined several of these JIRA update meetings. At least two invites popped onto my calendar as agenda-less hour-long blocks.

Then I joined one, asked all the questions around purpose, and suggested what I would do to help with less overall effort and a reduction in pesky meeting invites.

Why do you hate Jira?

This sounds very interesting to me. I'd read through that blog post, as I'm working on expanding my K8s skills - as you say knowledge is very scattered!

Respectfully I disagree there. Social media is dangerous and corrosive to a healthy mind, but AI is like a rapidly adaptive cancer if you don't recognize it for what it is.

Reading accounts from people who fell into psychosis induced by LLMs feels like a real time mythological demon whispering insanities and temptations into the ear directly, in a way that algorithmically recommended posts from other people could never match.

It will naturally mimic your biases. It will find the most likely response for you to keep engaging with it. It will tell you everything you want to hear, even if it is not based in reality. In my mind it's the same dangers of social media but dialed all the way up to 11.

Interesting statement. I suppose you could argue that long term archival storage is communication with a long tailed, sometimes ill-defined window for receiving the message. Few people write books they don't want anyone to read.

Good question

I 100% see the Framework Desktop and Steam Machine less as competitors and more as separate flavors of the same form factor: Steam Machine for the lower priced, casual plug-n-play gaming use case, and Framework Desktop for the higher priced, professional use case.

Seeing as the Steam Machine feels like a way to get traction for SteamOS just as much as it is a venture for selling hardware, a partnership between them selling Framework laptops/desktops verified for SteamOS seems like exactly the type of thing Valve would want.

Any recommendations on registrars?

This seems like you are not fully thinking this through, either intentionally or not. Benefit of the doubt, I will add to your question about why you should care with more questions: what if it's someone you know? what if they want to then sell the generated content? what if it was your political enemies? what if it was your boss? what if it was someone who was stalking you or made you feel unsafe?

>This seems like you are not fully thinking this through, either intentionally or not. Benefit of the doubt

I am not, that is why I'm leaving it to replies to convince me otherwise.

>what if it's someone you know?

Why not start with what if it's me? If I don't know about it, implicitly, I don't care. But if I do and it bothers me, AI companies have already been given free reign over copyright law so I don't really have any recourse here. Can I sue Sam Altman? No, because if that was possible, someone like Studio Ghibli would have done it and made a billion dollars by now.

>what if they want to then sell the generated content?

If it's generated by AI, then the courts have already stated it can't be copyrighted, and is therefore unsellable. The first person you sell it to can redistribute it for free and there's no way you can stop them.

>what if it was your political enemies?

I'm not political, which upsets a lot of people. Just tell people "I'm not voting, it doesn't matter" and watch them lose their minds.

>what if it was your boss?

I'm not really sure why I should be fighting my boss's battles.

>what if it was someone who was stalking you or made you feel unsafe?

People can stalk me without AI. I'm not sure how AI changes this.
