A coworker of mine has been talking about this for a while now. And he keeps saying it’s a double edged sword, because in theory this could also be used to forcibly open source proprietary software.
We’ll see I guess.
They realise that it’s a satire site, right?
They built it. They’re making money on it. Is that still satire?
Yes. Have you read the testimonials?
It stopped being a joke the moment they actually built the product and accepted money for it. As far as I’m concerned, those testimonials are just AI generated as well and the agent didn’t get the memo that this wasn’t sarcasm. It gives off real “Just a prank, bro” energy
Being fair, they might’ve done it to make it a detestable as possible to force some kind of policy change… Still, it’s hardly a joke anymore.
They may or may not, what makes it relevant nonetheless is the real loophole and the ethical/legal questions that ensue.
It’s good that they don’t realize it’s satire, the satire is doing it’s job in getting people to realize how laws need to change around AI code.
Very effective satire. I wish I would have thought of it.
I’ve been pointing at this problem for at least 2 years now to deaf ears, satire like this will force people to listen.
Well, you could do this yourself too… it’s not just an “issue” with AI, but that copyright is not meant to protect against competition forever.
Well, you could do this yourself too…
No, but you and someone else could collaborate to do something like it, if both of you had sufficient skill in this area.
And, importantly, it would require a great deal more time and effort.
The current laws are tuned to cost, benefit, difficulty, and volume assumptions that are made outdated by LLMs.
