  • Are you British? Just kidding. But recipes do have a creative process. Chantilly cream was invented. Same as any other desserts or dishes. And parts of a recipe, like whipping cream, are reused throughout other recipes…

    I won’t argue on the remainder of your post because I rather just keep it as different world views. You have decided to defend copyright. We just disagree.


  • Look at kitchen recipes. They have no copyright. Chefs and restaurants still make money. That’s what I meant to arbitrary, they are the pillars to a made up scenario, or paradigm. You are answering from within, unable to see the alternative because without copyright capitalism would collapse. That was my point when comparing to nation states. I know I am parroting crazy thoughts, but I believe they are useful for creative rebellion and imagining a world that might as well be possible and perhaps even better. Copyright and competitiveness are not real good drivers for innovation, they’re just the rules of the game. Another game, rooted on cooperation may as well determine different rules for winning and the very definition of success could be another one in such a social system…







  • You just joined in February so maybe you are taking it personally? In either case, let me share that I have been on this instance for few years and I trust the admins motives as they expressed.

    Your claim is very much and accusation without evidence. There’s no such track record for the humans involved. On the contrary, they are trying to build a community.

    I rather not argue what is good or bad censorship. I kind of agree with you.

    How about giving the admins the benefit of the doubt?

    Time will tell if they are censoring a certain voice, and which one that is. Only then it make sense to judge their actions…


  • Ever since the CEO of Telegram was basically lured to Paris, arrested, then read the riot act for Telegram’s non-cooperation with French authorities, the company has been responding to warrants and downplaying its “E2EE” features. Expect them to have a fully accessible backdoor for LE.

    What does LE stands for?

    Also, do you have any sources to your claims?

    Just the other day, I wondered myself: what happened after that detention in Paris? I haven’t read anything else. Is he in prison or free?? No idea! Is there an ongoing trial? What were the accusations?


  • I am sorry you had gone through that experience. The only church that illuminates at all is the one we can set on fire :')

    PS. This thread can easily spin on another reiteration of the arguments around “separating the art from the artist”. That text on AI may have a certain sympathy to some… I haven’t read it. After this post, I thought “maybe I should?”. Thanks to your comment I got centered back in my perspective: “nah. the pope can say whatever he wants to. I won’t be his supporter nor audience.”












  • This. (Offline too.)

    Which generation did we really taught critical thinking to? In general, those “thinkers” or people with nice research skills (e.g. reading comprehension and other traits) were always a minority within each generation. And I agree there will be less now with AI. But we have no polls or measurement, so the title goes a little clickbaity, in resonance to the generalized discomfort towards a new technology that schools haven’t accomodated yet (e.g. all kind of solutions are seen in the wild)

    I reckon it was the same with arithmetislcs and calculators in the past. We were able to deal with that! (so that whatever proportion of people that graduates knowing arithmetics with each generation didn’t shrink “too much”.)

    If we are considering possible scenarios, let’s be optimistic too.

    AI (discounting other problems like their ecological footprint) may not be that bad on our educational systems once we adjust…
