Can we detect that it's AI scrapping underway, and auto redirect to the honeypot of hallucinapedia?

If radio stations and tv broadcasters can license all the content they show, and still survive, then AI companies should be able to do the same.
Heck, even the coffee shop on the corner needs to pay licensing fees if they are running a custom playlist.

People forget that there are multiple types of type 2 diabetes. Your body can just make not enough insulin, while still making some, or you can be resistant to it, and simply not make use of the regular amounts your pancreas is making. Being overweight is typically the first of those, and losing weight (and eating vastly less) can often help, but not always. In some cases, you win the lottery and wind up both not making as much as a regular person, AND being resistant to it as well.

Type 1's don't make any. Which is what the Chinese treatment seems to be targeting.

Guinness should have all the vitamins anyone needs right?

Text prediction is not going to take over the world.
A long time ago, when we wanted to know something, we went to a library, and looked it up. A certain percentage of the books were crap, and weren't labeled, so sometimes we got good info, sometimes bad.
Then came search engines. Initially, a fancy card catalog of web pages, they eventually got better indexing, and a little information about the types of things you looked for before, to help guide you to the right web pages. Advertisements followed shortly based on what you were looking for. (yes, we're really sorry about that)
Phone autoprediciton looked at what you'd typed in, and tried to guess what you might want to type next, mostly cause typing on phones sucks.
Chat GPT is basically a phone auto predict that is marginally smarter, that is trying to guess what comes next, based on your prompt, and similar things it's seen in as much internet accessible info as it could get it's hands on.

The uses to which ANY of these ways of accessing information can be put to use is what needs to be thought of. I can search for how to make explosives. or any number of things that are not good for society in general. That doesn't make the search engine evil. It makes it indifferent. The use that I put that knowledge to is what is potentially evil.

Does it mean that spammers can use AI to generate better looking spam that tries to evade the blockers? Yes. Does it mean that the AI is evil? No. No more than MS-Word is evil. (Maybe a bad example...)

Does it mean we get deepfake videos of our political leaders doing idiotic stuff? Yes. Will that be detectable from the usual idiotic stuff they do? Maybe not.

Does it mean that we should complain about copyright violation? Yes. We should.

Should we be scared that chatgpt is going to take over the world? No. But the people that make optimal useage of it may find that task easier...

So, grant the muni drivers the ability to issue tickets to vehicles that are illegally blocking the road. Set the fine high enough(say 5,000$ per incident), and the problem will go away.

As it stands, there is no motivation to fix this.

The copyright issue I do find concerning. Where should the line in the sand be drawn?

An author writes words that are copyrighted. But they are allowed to use tools like Grammerly, or even spell check to write part of their document.

Someone doing digital art may be using brushes that randomly generate brushstrokes for them. Their art is still copyrightable.

An animated movie traditionally had one set of artists producing keyframes, and another set doing the inbetweening. These days, the inbetweening is typically automated. This is still copyrightable.

Meridia's hair in Brave was done with computer programs running a simulation of springs. Yet the output of that code is copyrightable.

Shader effects, including wave simulation etc are common in movies, TV and computer games. All copyrightable.

Where exactly should the line be drawn?

When we renew license plates in Canada, we already need to tell them what our mileage is. Not too much of a stretch for this years costs to be based on last years driving distance.

Economically. Hmmm. didn't see anything there about luggage, documents, clothing etc. needing to go. Also, administering enemas and emetics beforehand will also lower weight, thereby improving the bottom line. And if you drug them properly, can stack like cordwood and avoid things like seats, washrooms, the galley, and flight attendant's.

This is sounding more and more like Southwest's next business model.

And remember, you can apply Sturgeon's Law recursively as well on the other 10% as many times as you need.

Nortel (and the companies it evolved from) lasted 118 years. and then evaporated in a few short years. Don't fool yourself into thinking it couldn't happen elsewhere.

But who are the trunks out of Russia connecting to? Those are owned by networking companies in the neighboring countries. Turning those off would isolate things just fine, as well as having the benefit that any Russian hackers would need to be outside the country to do their work.

Nobody says you have to support OLD APIs forever. Sometimes the changes are good, other times they are not.
In this case, the owner of the code decided to change the purpose of his code from providing the previous functionality to doing something vastly unlike what it did before.

Were his old version still hosted on GitHub? Yes. Which means that any competent developer who built their stuff against a tagged version would not have any issues. Their code would continue to work.

This wasn't an attack against fortune 500 companies, it was an attack against sloppy ones.

What if he'd changed function B to do something differently, and instead of updating function A to use the new function B, just removed it because it was no longer supported? Would many people who had been using function A complain? Yes. Are they justified? No. Version 1.0 of function A and B are still there, and still work as before. Version 2.0 of function B does different stuff, and there is no version 2.0 of function A.

Nothing says a functioning API needs to live forever at the head. And hopefully this has helped to hammer that home with everyone who got smacked by this.

Nurse Joy seems to be able to fix anything, so why not :-)

The first two - maybe. Basketball would be hard. Lots of people live in their cars, and some of the Uber's I've seen look like they are doing just that. If you were to rig up a food truck properly, you could live there and flip those burgers.
