> We have copyright and intellecual property law already, of course, but those were designed presuming a human might try to profit from the intellectual labor of others. With AI, we're in the industrial era of the digital world. Now a single corporation can train an AI using someone's copyrighted work and in return profit off the knowledge over and over again at industrial scale.
The idea that copyright simply doesn't apply to AI has more to do with AI companies deciding that they're not going to comply with those laws than the design of the laws. Also a very successful lobby against enforcement by positioning AI as a strategic necessity.
I keep wanting to do this for old sites, make like a personal mini IA. Besides just using wget or curl, any tips for pulling down useable complete websites from IA?
Would you then say that in general Open Source doesn't matter for almost everyone? Most people running Linux aren't serving 700 million customers or operating military killbots with it after all.
I'm very interested in something like archive box but:

YouTube the site where people can dump videos is incredibly useful because there are visual tutorials for everything.
YouTube the site where people form parasocial relationships with flat-earth-fluencers and break their brains is the worst invention since leaded gasoline.
The idea that they've engineered a bacterium that will successfully outcompete naturally selection indefinitely seems overly optimistic. They blocked the most obvious failure mode with the horizontal gene transfer pathway, sure, but considering how quickly antibiotics become ineffective I'm just not sold that their modified bacteria will be as untouchable as they seem to think. Certainly not 20 grand effective.
Wow, another Broken Mirror fan in the wild! Yes, that was the best Trek game there eas until Infinite came out this year. The author really got what made Trek tick and the gameplay was a perfectly serviceable EV like. One of the most technically ambitious flash games I ever played.
I'm still a bit salty that they didn't leverage any of the perfectly good EV clones or general purpose game engines out there and have spent the time since the Kickstarter building an engine from scratch.
