musing about the acceptance of dysfunctional and ludicrous processes in our daily lives.

someone posts about the subotimality of ipv4->ipv6 mapping only being in rust nightly for 11 years. none of the repliers acknowledge 'yes, this process must change' they have seemingly internalised it t the background, like cars or houses zipping by when you drive on the highway. imo by passively accepting such a shitshow people normalise dysfunctional and ludicrous processes everywhere.

draw a line people! its not ok for a proposal to sit for 11 years with no decision. its not ok for proposals to be made via github pr when there already more than 5000 open prs!

(to be clear, i don't use rust and idkaf what rust decides. its just a glaring example. so if you are a rust defender and feeling the need to come in and defend rust in the replies, that means you missed the point, save us all the time and please just fuck off without replying)

Copyrightability of LLM-generated code: Can we license “vibe code” into Free Software?

"...If a piece of software is not copyrightable, that software has no rights reserved and is in the public domain. This also means that no one has the rights to apply any kind of license terms to that software, including copyleft license terms that work to maintain the Four Freedoms in any downstream distributions and derivatives of that software...

While there is a current lack of harmonised, specific legislation throughout all member states on the copyrightability of LLM-generated works, there are nonetheless strong indications that copyright does not apply to purely LLM-generated works within the EU, and only a natural person can be considered an author...

Using prompts alone is insufficient for copyright
Advocates for human authorship of LLM-generated work often argue that the required human creativity for the output exists in prompts, comparing prompting to commissioning a creative work, or providing an artist with instructions. This opinion is however not generally reflected in case law and the general principles of copyright law, where prompts are unable to provide sufficient human control to allow users of an AI tool to be recognised as authors of the resulting output. Just like the detailed instructions given by the non-profit to the sculptor in CCNV, prompts can be seen to merely be instructions that convey ideas, which are not covered by copyright law..."
