Using LLM backed codegen to falsely relicense from copyleft licensing like LGPL to anything resembling MIT/BSD style licensing isn't just laundering code - it's an active attack on the labour aspect of the free software movement. It is an attempt to undo forcing cooperation by using the existing copyright system, subverting the very commons which they plundered to create these tools.
This is why playing by the rules rarely gets you change.
Damn, 11 years… GNU Terry Pratchett. I am thankful to have grown up on his books. Getting Hogfather one year was definitely the best book gift I had ever received, and started me off on an incredible journey (supported by a local library) that’s definitely helped me define my self and my values.
There are many faults you can point to in the TV adaptations, but preserving this dialogue verbatim is what keeps that film in my end of the year holidays rotation.
It is time! After 4 years at my current job, I am in need of change. I'm looking for a new role in the world of SRE, infrastructure, and platform building. I've worked on building clouds, building on clouds, moving to clouds, moving from clouds, and all other sorts of things that do not sound real to people who do not work in tech.
I thrive in environments with autonomy, especially ones where technical teams aren't just given freedom to decided how to build things, but allowed input on what and when too. I've built resilient and reliable platforms for which I've had no issue being on-call, with team health coming first.
Based in Berlin, Germany, but looking for ideally remote/possibly hybrid opportunities.
“If we just ignore the externalities” instant dq from any conversation. Your input is unwanted and unnecessary.
The Grammarly thing is incredible. Just wholesale stealing people’s identities to promote randomly generated feedback based on their scraped public personae
LLMs are incredible at accelerating the decay of all social norms. How is this reality?
So Anthropic’s values include planning a strike on a school and planning a second strike to then assassinate first responders. This presumably comes from working closely with Israel who routinely do this in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria - or perhaps just a consequence of the closeness of the US-Israeli relationship and the fact that both countries are generally prone to murder and war crimes.
And I see… absolutely 0 outrage from the end users? Is this the new era, no values, not even stopping at companies fully committed to Claude and similar? This is a fucking nightmare. This isn’t using a Microsoft product and claiming it’s too hard to get off it. This is a pile of generative shit that didn’t exist 5 years ago, and somehow there are no moral or ethical lines that can’t be crossed.
This was a bad look considering the "enthusiast" opinion on Firefox and AI, but it's a worse look considering the fact that this is a Mozilla blog openly talking about working with war criminals who have just planned the bombing of a school and murder of girls in Iran.
Publishing this was a choice, and it's a choice that reflect poorly on whether there are any remaining shared values in our communities. Doing so in the immediate aftermath of the revelations about Anthropic's collaboration with the US war machine means that Mozilla is trying to help them launder the image.
