Is that contract copyrighted?

I think by far the biggest problem with open source is that the user community fundamentally mis-understands the nature of the transaction involving them and the developer(s) of the software they're using.

I think if we could make everyone sit down, take 10 minutes and just read The Social Contract Of Open Source a lot of people would keep developing OSS software.

Brass tacks: You are being given a gift. The person who gave you that gift owes you NOTHING because.. They gave you a gift and by using their software you chose to accept it.

I see it all the time in the open source project I co-maintain, and I have it SUPER easy beacause ours is really just a bundle of configuration files for Neovim.

Gamer culture in one :)

Good. The more they abuse their user base the more people will look for alternatives. Hello Lemmy! :)

The answer is these days I mostly don't. No judgement though :)

What I initially wrote:I'm old and nervous, and while some small part of my brain reads this and says "Cool! Neat!" the larger part IMMEDIATELY leaps to other ... things.

I feel like I need to say the quiet bit out loud here, and will do so in the hope that it will be taken for what it is - collegial discourse around a topic of shared interest.

I'm super concerned about this idea. There are so many ramifications that verge into the negative here that it makes my head spin.

How can we be sure that the training corpi used to create said Porn AI will be free of images drawn from sex trafficking and/or abuse victims? What about images from folks who gave freely when they were 18 and in high school but now are 28 and applying for jobs as school teachers?

Also, how will the AI "understand" things like informed consent? Even more questionable are things like social norms

Anyway, it will certainly be interesting to watch this space evolve.

I'm all for more options for sex work. And I certainly have no puritanical objections to consenting adults enjoying the idea of others enjoying their bodies!

It's great!

The single biggest problem i see is the lack of network effect.

We need more people to use Lemmy and create and participate in communities. I know part of that is actually using and participating ourselves. so I will try to be better about seeking out active communities already here and patronizing them regularly :)

Points for honesty, but how does one find exploitation free porn? I know some smart women who would say there is no such thing.

So being a sexual creature like any other, I get it but also maybe it's OK if that just lives on pornhub or whatever :)

They publish Runescape.

I never played it, I know it was ENORMOUSLY popular with a certain generation of folks :)

This one goes to 11 :) seriously though? Good on them. The good guys deserve their fair share of hype too!

I know it’s awful but I see the acronym “MMORPG” and it’s an instant buzz kill.
