  • Most anti-BDS laws have taken one of two forms: contract-focused laws requiring government contractors to promise that they are not boycotting Israel; and investment-focused laws, mandating public investment funds to avoid entities boycotting Israel.

    That’s because it includes both of these in the category. The discrepancy is probably because the OP image slightly misrepresents what the map is saying.


  • The only portions of the work that can be copyrighted are the actual creative work the person has put into the work.

    Ok, but it’s not like everyone is documenting exactly which parts are generated, curated, or human written.

    Maintainers cannot prevent the LLM code from being incorporated into closed source projects without reciprocity

    Say someone incorporates GPL code without attribution, and gets sued for doing so. They try to make the argument in court that the source material they used is not copyrighted, because of AI. Won’t they have to prove that the parts they used were actually AI output for this defense to work? It isn’t like people are going around ignoring the copyright on things in general if they look like they were probably generated with AI, that isn’t enough to be safe from prosecution, because you usually can’t know the exact breakdown. It seems like preventing this loophole from being used would be as simple as keeping it ambiguous and not allowing submissions that positively affirm being entirely AI generated.

    IMO the term “hallucinogenic” undersells what psychedelics do in some ways. There is an interpretative layer of abstraction that naturally builds up between you and what you are perceiving. This is useful because it lets you make assumptions about and mostly ignore objects that you know are not necessary to pay attention to, and not be overwhelmed by the experience of being actively aware of all their details, but it also prevents us from considering and experiencing what is behind that layer of preconception.

    Obviously there’s also a lot of other things our brains do that is interpretive or corrective, but it’s really remarkable to be able to see the world without that one in particular, which is one of the more striking effects of those drugs, and it happens on doses lower than the ones that produce especially vivid hallucinations.










  • It doesn’t read like AI slop. This is a well structured essay that has a moderately complex point and efficiently explains and gives specific evidence for that point with citations. It even has a (highlighted for emphasis, near the beginning) note explaining to what extent AI was used:

    This article is written by me and spell checked with AI. Many of the images are generated by AI and are mostly to break up the wall of text.

    The images mostly actually do add to it by illustrating the concepts and being relevant. I’d only really criticize the first (fiber internet infrastructure vs water supply infrastructure) one for being a little lazy in having a duplicate text bubble, and the choice to format with text bubbles with arrows when the arrows don’t actually point to anything and it would have been better as bullet points or something.
