Tired as shit of AI companies trying to convince us that AI is 'sentient' or 'conscious', everyone already knows that the only real sentient AIs are the level 9 Melee Ganon CPU and the CPU players in Worms when they hit shots that are a little too good

so in practice, copyright serves only to protect the interest of corporations while barring independent creators from the same protections by making the litigation to expensive to deal with

jolkert @jolkert.dev · 24/09/2026

this is why copyright is evil btw. corporations are able to fight copyright infringement in court, so they get to (ab)use its protections. and small creators aren't able to fight copyright in court, so they can have their stuff yoinked by corporations

There may yet be hard truths in 'NAZA,, including evidence of Israel's systemic failures. But the reporting around it treats flimsy claims as proof of criminality.

I haven't seen the film. This means I cannot confidently assess its editing, corroboration, or the

The Democrats that propose to add "only a few" restrictions to trans lives, or to ban "only some" trans care, are exactly as much my enemies as the Republican party under Trump. The main difference is, one group insists I owe them my support. Go to hell, and beg there. We owe you nothing.

instead you ask "Would my thing I presupposed to be sentient be sentient?" and framing it as if it's a gotcha for people who don't like the very real and very not sentient current LLM tech

jolkert @jolkert.dev · 19/08/2026

so what I'm getting at is that you're not really asking actual question with things to think about, which is "could a sentient machine exist? and if it did, could we diagnose that and separate it from a nonsentient machine?"

jolkert @jolkert.dev · 19/08/2026

like sure *if* 3cpo existed. but 3cpo is a fictional robot that's sentient in the fiction of the universe, and I don't believe such a thing could come to exist. in the same way, I don't think dragons could suddenly become real so I dont think about the ethics of a dragon burning my house down

jolkert @jolkert.dev · 19/08/2026

if it isn't an LLM or something you consider derivative of it, what bearing does the question have on what one should think of LLMs? it's as good as asking "if you're opposed to LLMs, what if the LLM was a horse instead? what then?" it's just fully a non-sequitur

In another twist, Hill and several other defendants were not sentenced by Pittman, the judge who tried their case. Instead, they were brought before the U.S. Magistrate Judge Reed O’Connor, a George W. Bush appointee who has been so sympathetic to the Trump administration’s agenda that he was chosen by government prosecutors to intercede in a federal case about trans healthcare all the way in Rhode Island.

BASH BACK @bashback.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Amnesty UK have apologised to JK Rowling for rightfully calling out her anti-rights rhetoric. Shame on them. A human rights organisation should not cave to pressure from billionaires, especially those who wish to make supporting human rights a terrorist offence. xoxo BASH BACK

We are disappointed to see Amnesty withdraw their report on transphobia after legal threats from JK Rowling. This is further proof we cannot rely on 'allies' to fight for US,

Our work has been so effective that Rowling has called for us to be proscribed as a terrorist group, but we're still fighting. We’ll only win trans liberation by fighting for it ourselves.

Don't wait for 'allies' to step in and save us; take action now!

I am exasperated with people accusing programmers of "gatekeeping" programming. We were practically dragging people through the gate. Do you know why a mindless LLM can tell you so much great programming information? It's because we've been sharing that information for free online for decades.
