So interestingly, free meant autonomy for Stallman and the original proponents of "copyleft" style licenses too. But autonomy for end-users, not developers. But Stallman et al believed the copyleft style licenses maximized autonomy for end-users, rightly or wrongly, that was the intent.
There's a lack of clarity, but it seems likely to me that a majority of this traffic is actually people asking questions to the AI, and the AI going out and researching for answers. When the AI tools are being used like a web browser to do research, should they still be adhering to robots.txt, or is that only intended for search indexing?
Why are there ads on the top of Hacker News again?
This looks to be some proprietary app that only works in the most strictly controlled proprietary ecosystem, and they're out here invoking Luddite doomerism in order to entrap artists into their dystopian prison.
I try to be positive on this site as much as possible, but this is an ad. An ad for something gross that harms society, and furthermore, the way they're advertising it is harmful and hurts society.
Tools for artists (and hackers!) should be free, open source, multi platform, and community driven. For example, any of the numerous tools now being made available in the generative AI space.
Why? For the same reason any story floats to the top. We are clicking through to read the linked article, up voting, and (like you) participating in the discussion. Put all this stuff together, and the story will trend highly for a while.
HN doesn't have the kind of purity filter you are looking for.
You can have whatever dislike of Apple products and their walled garden that you like (I certainly don’t own an iPad myself), but at the end of the day Procreate is one of the most popular digital art apps and many artists perceive generative AI as stealing their art, so the anti-AI stance Procreate is taking is definitely discussion-worthy on HN.
It kind of does matter if it's real, because in my experience this is something OpenAI has thought about a lot, and added significant protections to address exactly this class of issue.
Throwing out strawman hypotheticals is just going to confuse the public debate over what protections need to be prioritized.
Language evolves. As much as we are training computers to understand us, they are training us to understand them.
The level of precision required for highly complex tasks was never necessary before. My four year old has a pretty solid understanding of how the different AI tools she has access to will behave differently based on how she phrases what she says, and I've noticed she is also increasingly precise when making requests of other people.
It was entrapment because federal agents posing as crime bosses were threatening Ross that if he didn't hire the hitman there would be serious consequences. He was manipulated and forced into the position he was in.
