How to do the work

The obvious answer is copyleft-type licenses.
(1) Has anybody done legal analysis on that beyond the obvious? I don’t think LLM training on copyleft code has been tested in court yet…? (Even LLM training on more restrictively licensed works seems to be surviving court challenge….)
(2) Are there copyleft licenses (i.e. “derived works must be similarly licensed”) out there that don’t have the Stink of Stallman on them? Or is GPL v3 still just the way to go despite the smell?

"Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter prohibits states from using military force against the territorial integrity or political independence of another state, except in self-defence or with UN Security Council authorisation, a principle long understood as central to international order.
None of these legal thresholds were met in the case of the strikes on Iran."

What can—and cannot—be done to save the world’s glaciers
Glaciers are often treated as scenic features or scientific curiosities. In fact, they are critical infrastructure. Though they cover roughly a tenth of the Earth’s land surface, meltwater from glaciers and seasonal snowpacks supports drinking water, agriculture, industry, and energy production for close to half the global population. That support system is now shrinking, fast. […]

OK, so apparently I shouldn’t have said “beyond the obvious,” and the obvious needs stating:
(1) Copyright licenses very clearly •do• allow the copyright holder to determine who may use a work and for what purposes, at least when such use would be otherwise prohibited without a license. That is how the law works. Rightly or wrongly, empires are built on this: “Streaming service XYZ may offer this song for streaming but not for download until this date.” Copyleft is one example of this principle in action.
(1a) Thing the thing presents discriminatory licensing (such as in Daniel’s strawmen) is anti-discrimination law, not copyright law.
(2) The reason copyleft specifically might prevent LLM usage is that •if• LLM output can be considered a derived work of the training material, then the output must also be licensed in the same way. That seems to me a thin reed: courts so far haven’t been willing to treat LLM output as derived work, even when the output includes things that would surely be considered plagiarism and grossly illegal if done by a human. But I don’t see another path to protection, and courts are still sorting this out…so.

A few colleagues at universities across the country recently launched a group for discussing teaching - "patisseries et pédagogie," they're calling it - and invited me along for the ride.

I wish we'd done this years ago.

Typical #rail line reactivation in Poland:
1. For many years, reactivation is debated, meetings are held, studies are done — and nothing happens.
2. Suddenly funding appears, and preparations start.
3. Just before the work starts, some of the stakeholders start debating a New Better Route.
4. Mutual mudslinging starts, as some of the counties that already paid for the project, discover that the New Better Route omits them.
5. In the meantime, the railroad company proceeds with the original plan and doesn't care.

“Yes hello, I would like to wait ~2 minutes for you to generate a code change I could have done in seconds with the built-in refactoring tool of any modern IDE” is truly a statement dreamt up by the utterly deranged.

It has made the rest of the world take a look at themselves and ask one very critical question: "Do we rely too much on USA?"
And I think that in most cases, the answer has been "Yes. Yes, we do", and many countries has already started the process of changing this.

It is going to be difficult always knowing every 4 years a fascist could take the reins.

I learned today that false intelligence about the Ukraine war was fed to the US and it ended up in Putin's Russia. We had it US, you're done. Signed Europe.
