What do people even do in there ?

In France some banks illegally force users to use the banking application to approve online transactions as a security feature.

They could implement OTP as an alternative but they don’t because they are lazy.

What about https://news.sky.com/story/you-wouldnt-steal-a-font-famous-anti-piracy-campaign-may-have-used-pirated-typeface-13357462 ?

I’m not pirating, I’m training the LLM that is in my skull. Don’t worry, I won’t remember the whole thing in a week and won’t use it to create art out of what I saw.

“Don’t copy that floppy” funded by rich people, or the more recent “You wouldn’t download” with pirated song and font. Fucking hypocrites.

You can’t have a better law. Copyright laws are one-sided towards $billion companies. They would never agree to give more power to small creators or (worse) open-source projects who rely on such laws without making money.

A lot of AI fanboys secretly think that artists who rely on public funding to make a living deserve to be raped by gen AI companies.

Don’t you like to smoke meats with your fake friends?

The history of the CTO at a previous job was filled with dc and sl because he was a fucking moron. Yes I’m still bitter that he earned way more money than me who had to fix all his mess.

The vibe coders and every person using an LLM can’t complain about it. It’s fair game.

Empty readme and no comments in the code. Its useless to anyone who would want to change or fix it. It’s junior’s code and unacceptable in a professional environment.

Don’t forget subscriptions. We were freed by Linux, GCC, and all the open source tools that replaced $1000 proprietary crap. They now have that money again through AI monthly plans.

A lot of people on HackerNews have a $200 monthly subscription to have the privilege to work. It’s crazy.

In France you cannot fail a middle or high school class anymore. The official explanation is that it hurts the kids’ feelings. The teachers’ explanation is that too many people would fail.

It’s in France and I guess everywhere else. Students can cheat for free and no longer need to do anything, why would they study anymore?

I’ve also seen a few young engineers using ChatGPT to do their job because it’s easier than working. When I told them their code was bad (with mentoring and help, I’m not an asshole), they used another prompt that changed their whole code but it was still full of bugs.

We’re doomed.

How is it in any way legal?
