I have long been arguing against copyright. It has a fundamental philosophy which is broken in my opinion. But this can be a very deep and long discussion in which I have no interest anymore.

@downey @photex

@amszmidt
The conversation wasn't that bad. But we should be super-aware to not get personal as it excites some people. Also, copyright is a topic we can argue about for weeks with respect and not get to a common understanding. It is often more about worldviews, not just legal details.

@downey @photex

@amszmidt
sometimes happens... it is what it is!

@photex

@downey
As I included in one of my previous replies, different jurisdictions can rule differently. Additionally, it might change over time (I mean, the ruling).

@amszmidt @photex

@amszmidt
So if I download a copyrighted source, have it go through the LLM and output it without changes, it effectively removes the copyright?

@downey @photex

@amszmidt yeah I admit I'm not very familiar with licenses, I only care to refuse to take any responsibility. Appreciate the advice.

@amszmidt in a related news, here is my position expressed recently: https://mastodon.online/@hajovonta/116214632496802912

@amszmidt I asked an LLM about this, and here is its answer:

"This is still a debated and evolving legal area. Some nuances:
- If a human substantially curates/edits the output, that human contribution may be copyrightable
- Different jurisdictions may treat this differently
- The prompt itself (being human-authored) could be copyrightable, even if the output isn't"

But of course, I agree with you and I realized I have to change my LLM-generated content to PD instead of MIT license.

@amszmidt why?

@noelreports routine Pentagion review that includes transferring back any approved shipments that are already in target area...

Sounds very stupid

@noelreports I believe it when I see it!

@amszmidt
"Does it suck that I cannot use a nice Python library in Emacs Lisp? Yes ... and nobody is trying to make Emacs lisp into Python"

well, you can, with some limitations, and there are people who try to achieve this.

@glitzersachen

@amszmidt
OK, sorry. I admit I know little about the old stories.

@glitzersachen

@glitzersachen
My point is, it's relatively easy to bridge the gap between two Lisps and I gave a practical example.

So as stupid this decision was as is, it could prevent people for a limited time only.

@max_muehsal
I agree. The popular math notation has a serious flaw of having operator precedence. After a while the S-expression notation becomes much more clear.

@VnPower

@ksaj

it looks like you have the gift of inspiring others. You should maybe try writing a tutorial, or introduction. Or try recording a series of video introductions. Ever thought of that?

@screwtape @amszmidt

@amszmidt
why not add a date instead?

@robjperez You can try:
M-x describe-function <function name>
on any given function, to get help on that. In this case (see picture), click on the "see modify-frame-parameters' link for more info, then it states that you can query the alist for the frame by invoking M-: (frame-parameters)

@GreenFire
the EU is not a single entity, it's a deeply divided organization.

@HistoPol

@kravietz It is increasingly apparent based on analysis of this data that the Russian reserves are running out.

The reserves will run out no matter what they do, but they want to preserve what's left of the narrative in the West that Russia is winning.
