 @nixCraft @gearlicious NO. PLEASE. STOP IT WITH DELETING ANSWERS. It's bad enough that people did this with fucking Reddit and now my search results get peppered with useless links to Reddit threads that used to have pertinent questions and answers but don't anymore!! Doing this makes it SO MUCH HARDER to search for answers for ANYTHING now!!!! >:( 18 comments
@kkarhan @dragonarchitect @nixCraft yeah... it's an interesting conundrum. I still remember growing up around the days when it was nothing but ExpertsExchange (or ExpertSexChange depending on how you feel that day xD) littering Google search results with their paywalled answers. Come to think of it, mostly useless search results always have been.  @gearlicious @dragonarchitect @nixCraft If people want to make their shit #unsearchable and flex their #ableism and #classism, there's a tool for that: It's called "limited edition #book prints"...  @kkarhan @dragonarchitect @nixCraft @gearlicious that’s a weird thing then. So OpenAI can “generate” an image stolen from copyrighted material and you think it’s not infringement? @csgraves @kkarhan @nixCraft @gearlicious Yeeahhhh... that's definitely not how copyright works. Just because the output of an AI or a photo taken by an animal isn't protected by copyright doesn't necessarily mean that it can't violate copyright, either. @kkarhan @csgraves @nixCraft @gearlicious The way you phrased your own post made it sound like AI can't violate copyright because its own output isn't copyrightable. That's not the case.  @kkarhan @dragonarchitect @csgraves @nixCraft @gearlicious indeed, AI is just a tool. if a group of people were committing murder with hammers, you'd go after the group of people and not hammers in general (at least I'd hope so). @kkarhan @dragonarchitect @csgraves @nixCraft @gearlicious and if you think of it, llm isn't all that different from cryptography in how it functions. the only major different really being that we've adjusted the parameters to produce a somewhat useable output instead of complete pseudorandomness. different end goals but fundementally the same principles applied. @dragonarchitect @nixCraft @gearlicious That's the idea, isn't it. The knowledge was provided as free and now it gets commercialized as if it wasn't free. So the terms get enforced by users. It shouldn't matter in the end whether the answers get deleted as long as there will be another way controlled by its users to share and find the answers again. @thejackimonster @dragonarchitect @nixCraft @gearlicious Oh yes please let's ruin the future generation by making it harder for them to do simple troubleshooting @bobby @dragonarchitect @nixCraft @gearlicious How is future generation required to pay for troubleshooting better than using a different tool or platform? @thejackimonster @dragonarchitect @nixCraft @gearlicious Oh nuuu the site is free to use. I did not know free does not mean free anymore @thejackimonster @dragonarchitect @nixCraft @gearlicious All it takes is an Internet connection and a few brain cells to type https://stackoverflow.com or https://github.com or even https://reddit.com though I guess it costs to go to those sites @thejackimonster @dragonarchitect @nixCraft @gearlicious Also destroying vital information just because you don't like a change and if It could have helped others by staying up is dick move and I think people that do that should go to hell |

@dragonarchitect @nixCraft @gearlicious nodds in agreement
Also since "#AI" can't create copyrightable works it's unable to violate #copyright per very concept.
If #manpages and #documentation were good, we'd not need #StackOverflow butbthat's not the case so here we are...
