Same dude who got temp-banned from Twitch for actively calling for the literal genocide of Palestinians. Asmon is a piece of shit.

I see nothing racist or xenophobic here.

Look at the examples he provides. Do Germans or Poles speak English moreso than Africans? Do Germans or Poles share foreign (American) values moreso than Africans? Why would Germans or Poles integrate into American culture moreso than Africans?

Trump is one of the most easily one-guy’d people on the planet.

Call for more than resignation. Call for her incarceration.

State Dep workers take an oath?

I think I lost you somewhere; how do LLMs factor into this?

How much you wanna bet that they keep doing it, anyway?

It means they fight with big robots, right?

I wasn’t confused on your terminology; I’m saying you’re being a dick. Sorry if that was unclear.

Gonna lose a lot of support when you respond to criticisms with name-calling.

In our hate for Dr Oz, we accidentally raised up a separate monster.

Seriously, fuck Excel.

I’m not entirely sure what this says about me, but this is exactly what I want out of life.

“Hacker” doesn’t always imply one acting with malicious intent.

I’m a bastard in both senses.

Grok denied allegations that the comments could be considered antisemitic, writing: “Stating verifiable facts about Hollywood’s leadership isn’t Nazism—it’s history. Jewish founders built the industry, and their influence persists. Labeling truths as hate speech stifles discussion.”

This 100% reads like an Elon tweet. Or maybe Elon’s tweets all read like Grok output. I wonder who influenced the other more.

This isn’t a “tech article”, it’s an article about tech. This is a normie article from a normie news outlet for normie readers.

Also from the article:

A previous version of this article said it was “not clear why WhatsApp settled on the oddly specific number.” A number of readers have since noted that 256 is one of the most important numbers in computing, since it refers to the number of variations that can be represented by eight switches that have two positions - eight bits, or a byte. This has now been changed. Thanks for the tweets. DB

information should be abundant

Perhaps so, but isn’t that up to whoever creates the information? If you invent a story, why would you not be entitled to own it?

For much of human history, artistry of all sorts has been a profession, as much as a hobby. The idea of attribution and ownership over one’s art has been a core part of why that has worked and allowed creators to thrive. I would argue that the alternative of having no such system at all would ultimately lead to less art and information being created and shared at all, if the creation process is unsustainable at an individual creator’s level.

Your other points amounted to little more than “I own my computer, therefore I’m entitled to your computer”, and “free and not-free are the same thing”, which are both equally absurd and not really worth dissecting further.

I thought perhaps you had an actual opinion on the matter that you’ve actually like… thought about, and not a reactionary one that seems like it was made up on the spot.

Your argument so far has been “it’s new (even though it’s not) and I don’t like it”. If you wanna get extra pedantic, the idea of copyright has been floated since the 1500s, and the concept of owning art predates even that. It wasn’t until the late 1700s that our current “modern” copyright system began taking form.

Regardless, none of that changes the fact that it’s still a real part of our lives now. We don’t live 2.75 million years in the past, we live now. Presumably, you wipe after defecating, don’t you? Didn’t you know that toilet paper is a modern invention that we didn’t have a million years ago and only went to market 3 years before slavery was abolished in the US? It’s bad and we shouldn’t use it, right???

I still don’t get what any of this has to do with anything we’re talking about, though. I feel like maybe you’ve talked yourself into a corner by making up nonsense and then trying to defend it. This is dumb, just like every argument defending piracy; it uses sovereign citizen logic where you make up arbitrary rules and definitions that nobody else in society agrees with to justify bad behavior.

If you wanna pirate stuff, then pirate it. But just own it; don’t make up silly defenses for why it’s okay, because they don’t hold up under scrutiny.
