Requiring maintenance does not mean that it cannot ever conform to its stated specification. Does the GNU Project have a formal specification so we can know when it's done? I mean, they haven't just been bilking people for forty years where we can never tell if they're making any tangible progress, RIGHT?

That software can always be improved does not mean it cannot be "done" in the sense of conforming to specification. Does the GNU Project HAVE a specification that we might know if and when it is done?

After 40 years, IS PROJECT GNU DONE YET?

At some point you have to ask whether giving these people more money and more effort is really worth it: Because if GNU is done, then what do they need it for? If GNU isn't done, why couldn't they get it done in FOURTY YEARS?

a type of chip called a field programmable gate array

chip that is not "ridiculously expensive."

In this glorious age of AI, the punchlines can write themselves.

...since Reddit's full of them.

After 40 years... is GNU finished? I mean, has GNU achieved feature completeness with Unix? If so, why do you continue to ask for more money? If not, why should anyone continue to give you money? This is one of those questions that would be easy to answer if GNU had a roadmap, a timeline, a formal specification... it has none of those things. It does, however, have an insistence on people donating time and money despite plenty of both having been given over the past 40 years despite glacial progress... why is that?

All is fair in love and mass corporate surveillance apparently.

Nobody likes a glasshole. Anyone who wears these more or less advertises themselves as a fucking narc who should be avoided at all costs.

...is it "bit-chat" or "bitch-at"?

The east side of the county. This is the same pack of pants-on-head retards who unilaterally declared they were going to build a new city on the east side of the county without bothering to stop and consider pesky things like, you know, whether or not the county zoning plan would let them do that. It went over like a lead balloon and went precisely nowhere. This is their Plan B.

It wouldn't be such a terrible idea if they accounted for the fact that being in eastern Solano County is effectively like being on the dark side of the moon. To be accessible they'd really need a bridge across the bay, but that's not going to happen.

The whole thing has about as much probability of happening as bubblegum being discovered as the secret to nuclear fusion.

Based on the text of the complaint, no, they're not claiming that. Rather, they're claiming that pursuant to their terms of service Anthropic didn't have the right to scrape that data. If they were claiming they owned the data they'd be adding copyright infringement claims to their complaint, but they didn't. Their claims are Breach of Contract, Unjust Enrichment, Trespass to Chattels (read: your bots damaged us), Tortious Intereference (read: Reddit has an obligation to respect the privacy of its users, Anthropic knows that, and this interferes with that contractual obligation), and Unfair Competition.

Much like Apple v. Epic I consider both parties to be assholes and hope that both of them lose.

Also remember that archive.org keeps things forever.

No they don't. Dubious legal complaints frequently result in URLs being excluded from the Wayback Machine. It's extremely irritating.

the biological processes of aging unfold faster in dogs because they live such short lives

....so dogs age faster because they age faster? And this dipshit is a CEO?

Accuracy? Where we're going we don't need accuracy.

Clearly this is the natural progression from the Twitch hottub meta.
