fair share of doomsday rats have sneaked in trying to co-opt the movement

There's a group called "Pause AI" that is exactly this, EA funded (iirc) org trying to astroturf artists against AIart.

Setting up email and actually getting into people's mailbox isn't trivial.

Maybe the difference is that Rhysider is doing journalism and Zitron is much more soapboxing. I'm hoping he gets the rants out of his system early (or maybe confines them to his blog where they're more than welcome) if he's going to continue doing interviews, because there are moments where he injects his own opinion after a guest answers and it's a bit awkward. His interview with the Onion guy was great, but his interview with the SEO wizard was kinda painful at times, even though she had really interesting things to say.

Rhysider's editorial comments come off a bit naieve and even a bit childish at times. His good attitude is sort of infectious though.

Judging by my extensive arguing with people like this on reddit they fall into one of two camps:

  • Once bigcorp creates panicea AIs, they won't need to pirate anymore because they will be able to ask ChatGPT to make all the movies and music they need.

  • They don't think that additional copyright protections will ever be able to touch Microsoft and can only ever hurt the little guy.

Gravity and Juiceros

Gravity is what allows a cinder block to replace tour Jucero.

Thanks for reminding me about Jucero.

This is Sam "WorldCoin" Altman we're talking about, I'm sure he assumes they can mine crypto with it.

Did the jargon file fail to evolve, or did Raymond just stop maintaining it? It roughly coincides with when the full extent of his brain breakage became apparent ("anti idiotiarian manifesto.")

Or maybe it represents the end of when the Stallmanites, The corporate types (incl. Raymond) and the Linux Fandom actually saw eye-to-eye.
