I can’t go out and protest today. I work for a government contractor and need a basic security clearance, which means my First Amendment rights are void under the current administration. (Fortunately I’m with one of the agencies they’re afraid to touch, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be fired on a whim.) And there’s part of me that would be happy to give it all away to punch a riot cop in the face, but I have 8 cats who depend on me to keep my job so we can keep this house.
And I have so much rage in me right now that I could not be trusted *not* to throw punches.
To everyone out there today, be strong, and be loud for those of us who can’t be there — the silenced government employees, sure, but moreso the disabled and the targeted, the ones who can’t physically be there and the ones who are the biggest targets. Be safe, be smart, and be LOUD.

@res260 Sadly a likely observation :\
So many people just giving up on their craft.

@cwebber things sure are changing fast. code quality for example. and the ability of developers to write or recognize good code. now the direction of change isn't great, but...

@cwebber I'm hanging out there a lot and yes there is a lot of vibecoding. However, they don't seem to vibecode more than the average paid software dev.
In 2024, I'd say about 20% of my friends vibecoded. Today the number looks more like 90%. This is not specific to atproto, my understanding is that most people vibecode nowadays.

The US Supreme Court has declined to hear the AI copyright case. So, the new Copyright Office guidance that says the output of prompting systems that produce art, sound, text, etc., cannot be copyrighted, no matter how many times the human re-prompts or iterates the system, is upheld: https://www.theverge.com/policy/887678/supreme-court-ai-art-copyright
(Guidance from Copyright Office: https://copyright.gov/ai/Copyright-and-Artificial-Intelligence-Part-2-Copyrightability-Report.pdf )
So, unless I'm misunderstanding something…
1) If your corporate codebase is written with AI, and it leaks to the public, too bad -- no copyright protections. People can take it and use it.
2) AI generated code is incompatible with GPL and GPL-like projects, because GPL requires copyright to be assigned in order to enforce the license. (Edit: only a problem if the project is 100% AI, since public domain can be mixed into GPL without problem.)
Is that really what's happening? Am I misunderstanding something here?

@cwebber @ryanrandall Nah, definitely a different Why - you can find the Ruby Why's real name and the Bluesky Why's name also appears from time to time and it's not the same name

@pjohanneson @cwebber yeah ;)

@cancel I wonder how this applies (if at all) to procgen art and other non-destructive digital art workflows in general
