31 - You Are The Beta

all right so let's see what what what else what else do i got here so this i think we i think this was a i think i had put this in the feedback and i'm not sure why this font looks perfectly normal to humans but confuses ai this is this i think the thing you covered last week i guess i don't know why that's in the feedback section

and it was really neat um i went and checked out i clicked on the link and i kind of dig it honestly for for fucking with the ai i'm all in

Yeah, the problem is that it also fucks with humans that actually have to try to read the source code and do things with it.

Oh, you mean

people who actually have to do their job? What a trap.

Well,

it messes with anyone who needs to use accessibility, which is the real problem.

And if...

I mean...

If anyone in the AI industry was ever expected to follow silly little regulations like the Americans with Disabilities Act, it would slow down the industry, which is why they just ignore silly little laws that they don't like, you know, like copyright entirely.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yeah.

I think I've got a couple things here along those lines.

Yeah, there's all kinds of things the law requires that just become problems.

It's like, oh, we're going to try and do something.

We're going to do something about this, but we're going

to ignore the fact of all the externalities of everything that we do.

part of what we talk about on this damn show

i even have a story that i didn't bring although i can drop in the show notes about uh uh a very long discussion about ai completely disregarding all forms of copy left and uh the gpl and how in open source there's actually a pretty big fight brewing there

that's interesting

One of my stories sort of is near that, but I didn't make notes about the whole detail.

I just read the really long thread, which I can drop in the show notes if you want, or you can just take my word for it.

It was an interesting thread.

Wouldn't you like to have seen it?

Well, there you go.
