All the LLM generated websites which clutter my search results while offering nothing of value say "Copyright @ 2026".
Why bother?
You used a vector-based autocompleter based on other people's stolen work to turn more people's work into vectors and then back into text which can't easily be connected back to the original.
Clearly copyright does not exist anymore. Why even pretend it does?

TinyFlaccid emailed me trying to convince me to use "Codex".
The email ended with this:
> We can't wait to see what you build.
Yes, TinyFlacid, I am sure you would love that so you can incorporate even more of my work in your non-free lossily compressed model of stolen text and labor and do it before I even publish it.

'Our participation in the introduction of this class of stochastic systems into the hearts of our central political, social and cognitive infrastructures is limited to debating a bit about the how of “AI”, about the “ethics” and maybe “best practices“. About creating narratives to legitimize the introduction and cushion the narrative of the inevitability of “AI”.
But we don’t get to say if at all. “No” is not an option.'

CEOs of LLM companies all think "ideas" should be copied/remixed without credit or compensation. (And that pushing _expressions_ of ideas through matmul should strip copyright.)
Ironic, because what do they *do* all day? It's not like they do any work which could not be automated by an LLM.
The difference is they also own the companies while the people doing the work own nothing. If all intellectual work is automated, they'll keep the capital and we'll... have to eat them

'AI is an ideological project to shift authority and autonomy away from individuals, towards centralized structures of power. Projects that claim to “democratize” AI routinely conflate “democratization” with “commodification”.'
-- Ali Alkhatib
Bonus points for teaching me a new word (commodification vs commoditization)

Profit Is Theft: It Sounds Absurd but Here's Why

| Take a look at this info-graphic. The disparity is absurd, and the 99% does need a raise. But while we're fighting for 15, we need to look beyond raising the minimum wage…
