Wrong. This territory was heavily covered in music before this code concept - it has to be “transformative” in the eyes of the law. Even going in and cleaning up code or adding 10-25% new code won’t pass this threshold. Don't bother arguing with me on this, just accept reality and deal with it.
My copy of "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters" is explicitly listed as being copyrighted by Ben H. Winters in 2009 despite the majority of the words being Austen's, though. Perhaps music has different rules compared to text. I suspect Winters and his publisher have investigated the legality of this more than either of us have.
Jane Austen died long enough ago that her works are in the public domain, so Winters did not need a license to use it. That does not mean that he gained rights to her work: if he tried to sue someone for use of anything which appeared in the original, he would lose in court because it’s easy to show that copies made before he was born had the same text. This also how they prevent people trying to extend copyright by making minor changes to an existing work: the new copyright only covers the additions.
There’s a very accessible summary of the United States rules here:
I know my comment will get buried but I’m trying an A/B test first with the same prompts I gave NapsterAI. Eventually I’ll write this up too. I wonder how many I can make before I run out of credits.
Until he shows a comparative study, and also any disaster information like mental health effects, then his entire claims three years in should be treated as bullshit.
Honest question: how many of you tech bros have used this platform with your own children? If you won’t dog food it, quit claiming it’ll help the disadvantaged. Please.
Why do I get the feeling Bezos will try to lobby to have the law allow Amazon to harvest dead employees’ organs and sell them for profit if they die in a warehouse?
Logical extension of standard business mentality, if you’re honest enough.
While we're not there yet and it's not a self-fulfilling prophecy, dead peasant insurance exists so it's possible that Amazon immediately cashed in on this worker's terrible death.
The utter contempt you express for human life is abhorrent. Cloaking it in math only exacerbates your cruel disregard for, well, lacking shame in expressing such mental illness in public. I’d recommend therapy but you probably have a formula to justify not going to that either. Disgusting.
When I saw the article I recalled a doctor who worked at the sports stadium. Probably every stadium has a doctor on duty because there are medical emergencies any time you get 50,000 people together. Sometimes people die while they are still on the premises.
So I wanted to know how approximately how many people you would expect die of natural causes per day in a group of people as large as Amazon warehouse workers.
If you expect people to die every day while working in an Amazon warehouse and there was no cause of death disclosed for the unfortunate person referenced in TFA then the fact that he died is not news.
How much do you have set aside for a service or burial or cremation? It came up during an argument recently with a family member, so if your outlook is that bleak, try not to shuffle off this mortal coil and leave us in the hole to put you in one. Please.
That is not a viable solution in the United States. Perhaps you live in India or Brazil where such solutions are legal? If not, when are you moving to such a country?

I saw a documentary on Discovery Channel, about 20 years ago when this channel still had something to offer, about New York mafia, where they stated that the New York mafia threw their victims in the garbage.
Counterpoint: When is the last time you, as a human being, honestly did that?
This isn’t trying to be glib or contentious, it’s a commentary on the nature of human existence. If you have, then your answer will show it. If you have not, your silence or excuses will also.
All the time? This morning when I dreaded getting up so early for work. Last night when I showered. The day before after playing some board games with friends. Normal people do introspect, despite the current fad among a few oddball elites in Silicon Valley [0].
What a fascinating article. I especially love the part about writing extremely detailed requests which only cost $0.04 versus the token approach most “vibe code” devs use. Fortunately his tactic is almost impossible to emulate for 90% of the YCombinator audience / HN commentators.
Why do I know this? Because there had to be a declaration here to stop using ChatGPT and other Agents to write YOUR OWN GODDAMN POSTS. Thinking isn’t your strong suit, Greed is, and taking the time to learn the power of English doesn’t satisfy the latter, so you minimize it to your own detriment.
A fraudulent claimant like this is often some anonymous operation that can pop up under a different name the next day. Good luck finding them (and hope they are even located in a place where suing for copyright would even make sense).
Youtube is protected by their terms and the DCMA, as far as I know.
