- Comment on If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea? 2 weeks ago:
Hmm, I think there may have been some confusion on my part here. I’m fine with copyright directly serving individual authors and their families.
I’m not into how that is expanded and abused by corporations.

Well, we need to figure out how to kill companies first. They own the copyright in the situations you would care about.
So, it kind of already works that way. If the company dies, no one is gonna come after you. Unless it was sold of to another company, that is.

But! Zuck said they recently saw AI able to work on tasks that involve improving the software that manages AI! He said that means we are not far from super intelligence!
the extrapolation these guys make without new paradigm’s in mind is evidence of a bubble for me

- Comment on OmniSVG: A Unified Scalable Vector Graphics Generation Model 1 month ago:
This is the first time I’ve seen a model target SVG drafting. Anything you have seen previously about unicorns or whatever was just someone experimenting with interesting edge case usage.
