- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 5 hours ago:
it’s because they’ve bought in to the capitalist myth. only smart people can make lots of money, so surely they must be smart. combine this with yes men and snake oil salesmen who make their money scamming rich people, and the result is a lot of rich people who are really into weird pseudoscience
- Comment on Nintendo reportedly gets even more obnoxious about patent law by taking a 'mods aren't real games' stance against a Dark Souls 3 mod that could invalidate its Palworld lawsuit 4 days ago:
the monkey paw in question is intellectual property law. everytime a case is ruled in favor of ip law it becomes slightly more restrictive, which generally benefits corporations more than the public. every time you cheer for ip law to be enforced in some big landmark case, you’re invariably rooting for the noose around our necks to get just a bit tighter.
it’s for this reason that, despite really not liking ai stuff, i think openai and meta being fined for training on “stolen” work will inevitably do more harm than good
