Why is this news? As a European this seems totally obvious.

There are. The article literally cites a publication describing just such a study.

The issues around zoning are not comparable. For one, here in the Netherlands we have plenty of density and not a lot of missing-middle, but still a giant shortage. The problem her…

This is all to distract from the fact that J.D. Vance did die from rabies.

That assumes we're talking about technologies that are legal and in some way beneficial. AI is basically large-scale copyright infringement. If allowed to continue, human authors (…

So we're in violent agreement then?

AI is busy destroying my art and my livelihood. Fighting back is about as psychotic as drapetomania[0] was. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapetomania

Papermark is AGPL; Corgi must release all its changes.

When it plays fair, sure. Not when it steals.

Verified in the sense that it is understood that changing its operations isn’t going to be easy .

There's no reason it isn't as the die is likely the same just in a different package.

Eye-opening quote for this European: "if the latent demand [for car-free living] they measured were ever realized, US car-free rates would approach European levels" We're not so di…

I don't think we're going back to closed source. I think we're going back to guilds . Aka. closed knowledge.

Without any material or immaterial benefits? And with one's work being ground up and turned into weights for the next version of the machine that's threatening one's employment?

If the way humanity advances were via new ways to ride horses, then yes.

But LLMs don’t seem particularly good at inventing new ways to code (or write, or…). It’s literally all derivative. So what happens in 10 years? Are we headed for a great stagnatio…

Here is what the purveyors of AI don't seem to realise. You can bend copyright law all you want in order to train your models on whatever you can grab, but in the absence of genuin…
