Fanfiction Community Rocked By Etsy Sellers Turning Their Work Into Bound Books

there’s no fair use/dealings defence of them.

The OTW, who run AO3, would disagree with you: https://www.transformativeworks.org/faq/#faq-WhydoestheOTWbelievethattransformativeworksarelegal

That said, I'm not sure why they say 'transformative works are legal' rather than 'transformative works are sometimes legal and we believe noncommercial, transformative fanworks are legal but no one has actually tested it in court and it's unspecified in the legislation'.

What is with the pro-AI posts lately?

I lean anti-AI, but comparing generative AI to NFTs is very strange to me. Even if you didn't intend to imply any similarity beyond both being scams, surely generative AI is at least a much more compelling scam.

LLMs can now understand, to some extent, almost any text humans can. They might not be able to reason about it well, but they can at least translate it, summarize it, etc. If you had asked me 10 years ago, I'd have told you there was a near-zero chance of that happening within our lifetimes. NFTs were just "if we put baseball cards on the blockchain, people might buy them because of that same quirk of psychology."

Does anyone use QubesOS as a daily driver?

I haven't even tried it. GPU is too important these days. They recommend using a separate system entirely for GPU-intensive tasks. I actually do have that setup in a way, but only for the most GPU-intensive tasks. I don't want to have to switch devices just to watch a video without draining half my battery.

It's the GPU companies' fault, of course, but that doesn't change much.

As a disabled open source developer, it's almost as if the universe guided me toward this horrendous take specifically to annoy me. If you're trolling, you did a good job of it.

  • Spends the first 90% of the competition developing specialized subagents and custom MCP servers to allocate the problems and most relevant information efficiently into the LLM's contexts.
  • All of his agents easily escape their own sandboxes and one accidentally configures itself into "delete-only mode".
  • "Codex, how the fuck do you not have access to your own documentation?"
  • Places 29th globally after one of his subsubagents finds a way to reconstruct the full solution set from filesystem metadata in the online judge VMs.
