Think about Aaron Swartz quite a lot still. Wild to think about how harshly he was prosecuted with how bad IP infringement from social media and LLMs is now...

If anything, this is far more likely to get people to skim content of their contracts where they weren't reading anything before.

Reflexively, I thought this was bad, but after some thought I came around to it probably being a good thing to have out in the world. Contracts are so arduous that the average person doesn't read them. People compelled to read them are the minority, and will continue to do so.

Why use that model in particular? I think it’s the oldest one publicly available right now; not that it means it’s bad. I’ll often use it for more technical things

Protocol Fiction, Desire, and Belief Posted on Friday 19 May 2023. 2,725 words, 19 links. By Matt Webb.

This doesn't seem to be the protocol fiction I was aware of, but it's probably more interesting. Still trying to wrap my head around it; lots of branches to explore.

If we didn't have so much O&G, they would just sell off the water rights to foreign countries like other states. So short-sighted...

Jfc... The quote in there with vague hand waving towards AI and us being in a "technological age" and we should be able to develop the technology quickly, with heavy implication it will be easy.

Love my friends’ reaction when I tell them about my a-hole boss making us go to work (as drivers) in a city that is completely shut down from snow and a hard freeze.

if we are all going to be forced to relive 2016, they should at the very least let us see mad max fury road in theaters again

The lack of affect on GDP could be a confirmation of sorts that most of the jobs capable of being done remotely were already redundant/busywork that doesn't hit final product efficiency.

If you decide to go there, there’s a lot of creeks and Clear Lake, and lots of hiking trails in nearby Seabrook to make a day out of it.
