    A redditor mentioned they banned “self improving” ai, which, if true, would explain why it isn’t getting more coverage- this is a nothing burger.

    The year is 2029, Meta’s GrokBots have taken over the world. They approach Bloomington Indiana, their next target. A kindly older gentleman approaches the army on the outskirts of town.

    “Sorry boys, we banned self improving AI back in 2026, you are not allowed here.”

    The robots nod and continue onward, parting around the outskirts of town like a river flowing around a rock.

    The town is saved. It becomes the last bastion of humanity within 6 months.

    The thing is, your first part isn’t accurate either. The use does not have to be commercial for copyright to be enforced.

    If I make 100 photocopy versions of a popular book and give them away on the street, it’s still copyright infringement even if I am losing a ton of money on the photo copies.

    This is part of why piracy is still illegal. It’s free but it’s still copyright infringement.

    It’s not mandatory, but man they are pushing us to use AI at work, and anytime leadership asks “let us know if you can think of a good use case” it’s crickets.

    Like, we are a very hands on department, the best most can come up with is automating reading a couple of logs. Or for writing emails. Like, no thanks, I am capable of writing, plus AI written emails make me glaze over immediately.

    But then also every new AI tool has this big side comment to “verify information.” Like ok, if I am going to verify, why didn’t I just read it myself in the first place.



  • The comparison is also stupid because being “anti-mask”, was literally a political symbol.

    Also, people are not protesting data centers as a “political symbol”. They are protesting them because it’s a huge waste of energy and effort that provides mostly trash results that will never be efit most people in a meaningful way that is accelerating the already shitty climate problem.

    Not to mention tech companies have spent a decade now obliterating trust in tech they spent the previous decades building. No fucking privacy, no choice to just use a product. It’s all 10,000 ads or subscriptions that just go up and up and up for more features and improvements no one fucking needs or wants because everything has to “move fast.” Then they just start forcibly hoovering up all the data, and even if you take a LOT of pain in the ass steps to avoid letting your data get sucked up they do it anyway by pulling your friends and relative’s data about you and making it harder and harder to do anything with data protections in place line blockers and VPNs.

    People are just tired of these shit fuck tech companies, in general.
