Exactly. Nothing with shared credentials should be directly accessible to someone off site to begin with. Either way things went down they have a security hole you could fly a blimp through. Either they aren’t revoking credentials properly or they have eternally facing systems using shared credentials.

Yeah, the proper time to revoke credentials is before they even know they’re getting fired. At all the places I worked, the first sign that someone was getting fired would be that they’re suddenly unable to access anything.

Shit clickbait journalism identified.

A company I used to work for outsourced most of their coding to a company in India. I say most because when the code came back the internal teams anways had to put a bunch of work in to fix it and integrate it with existing systems. I imagine that, if anything, LLMs will just take the place of that overseas coding farm. The code they spit out will still need to be fixed and modified so it works with your existing systems and that work is going to require programmers.

I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that UL certified goods are super expensive. UL is the bare minimum. I have a $10 UL certified lamp on my desk right now. Certifications like TUV and similar are the more expensive ones.

Our capital class is the leverage.

You need some sort of licensing to do most HVAC work anyways. Theres no point in forcing companies to make all the parts available to the average joe when the average joe can’t legally do the work anyways.

Not south korean but for me marriage just seems weird. Why should the government be involved at all in my relationship? Why would I do a bunch of paperwork and pay money to get a document that offers very few benefits and could one day become a pain in the ass if my partner and I grow apart for some reason?

If a partner cares about marriage there is nothing keeping me from swapping rings with them and doing a ceremony but I see no reason to get the government involved.

I bought starsector but I have no idea what my actual key is anymore so I always just use the key from SsethTzeentach’s video on it. So it’s technically piracy but from what I’ve heard the Starsector dev doesn’t care that people just use that key because that video and the key being released publicly made their sales go way up anyways. They’re one of the few devs that realizes that piracy doesn’t actually hurt their sales.

Copyright doesn’t matter for AI training data because that AI is considered a derivitive work therefor using whatever content they find for training data is fair use under current copyright law. People are literally training AI on Pixar content without copyright being an issue.

Also if you don’t want people using your stuff then why are you posting it in the open in a public board that basically everyone has access to? If you want to protect something then the first step would be not handing it to everyone and everything with an internet connection.

I would also even say that a show/movie subscription makes sense. Except all of the services have already preenshittified themselves to the point where it’s literally more convient to just pirate everything.

So far spotify hasn’t done that so I’ll continue happily paying for spotify even though I’m a filthy pirate. Hell, spotify could double in price and I would still be perfectly happy with the service I’m getting.

Google has already been caught serving ads that inject malware on multiple occasions. It’s literally googles ad service that can’t be trusted. If they don’t even have the decency to vet the ads that they’re serving (which they clearly don’t) then I’m definitely blocking the damn things.

Nope. Those are all transformative works and are fair use. The remix, cover, or fanfic are all considered new works as far as copyright is concerned and the writer of them can do whatever they want with them including sell them. People get their fanfics published all the time they just usually don’t sell well. People make covers of songs and sell them all the time. I can think of several youtube channels that only do exactly that. Anyone can just go record themselves playing Wonderwall and try to sell it because them playing that song is a unique work. I think trademarked stuff is more restricted on what you can do with it but I’m not sure on that.

AI is also even more limited in regards to transformative works than humans because you can’t copyright the direct output of an AI. So if, for example, you made an AI output a cover of a song you could still do whatever you want with it but you couldn’t own the rights to it. Anyone else could also take it and profit off of it. The only way to copyright AI output is to create a transformative work based on that output. You can use the AI output to create a new work but you can’t just call the AI output your work. In my opinion that’s exactly where the law should be. You can use AI as a creative tool but you can’t just have one generate every possible picture of something and copyright them all.

Except doing all of that is perfectly legal. With music it’s called a remix or a cover. With stories it’s called fanfic.

If the AI is exactly replicating an artists works then that is copyright infringment without a doubt. But the AI isn’t doing that and it likely isn’t even capable of doing that.

I mean, that’s probably actually it. Short term profits are all shareholders care about. We’ve seen that time and time again where businesses will absolutely mutilate themselves just so shareholders can enjoy a short term price spike. This is just a pump and dump but for the energy industry.

I use google because microsoft keeps trying to shove bing down my throat. I’d rather use a worse search engine than let them win.

If you’re using jerboa I’ve noticed it almost always says “timeout” even though everything worked perfectly. So far I’ve never had anything fail to post with that message.

What the hell reddit? This is r/piracy, we’ve had backup plans on other platforms for ages. Of all the subs to forcibly reopen they do the one with the lowest chance of anyone going back? This has to just be a trial to see how forcibly reopening the front page subs is going to go when they do that.
