Re:GPT-5.6 Sol can beat Factorio on peaceful mode on Saturday October 31, 2026 @03:28PM (#50319254)
Good to know it's good at something, I suppose? Sol seems like it always just wastes my time and writes terrible code.
Literally anyone can do this
Not for the Xbox though :/
I would think someone would have run those numbers first.

Re:Copyright does not protect AI-generated content in EU on Thursday August 20, 2026 @10:31PM (#49382986)
I feel like people will be upset by this take... But you don't get credit for the creativity of an idea alone. Every asshole has ideas. It's called a work of art for a reason, emphasis on WORK.
Re:Copyright does not protect AI-generated content in EU on Thursday August 20, 2026 @10:21PM (#49382932)
Seems about right. Copyright is supposed to literally prevent outright copying. The output from an LLM is not a creative work of the prompter. It's genuinely the opposite, I use them when I don't care about something but have to do it anyway for whatever reason. It makes more time for me to do the things I like working on.

It feels shitty that they have been trained on the life sums of all of our work and online presences with absolutely no credit given... But then again, I'm not sure I'd want to know what parts of the weights were from me and which weren't.

> This will probably catch on slower and be less viral, but it will pay off in the long-run once people 'turn against' tech founders as reality stars, which they eventually will.

The whole problem with opening Pandora's box is that you don't get to close it if you don't like what came out.

Why would things eventually get better? Especially on a time scale that matters to anyone who is currently alive?
