“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift

    the license Lutris had is invalid.

    That part isn’t true whatsoever. Public domain doesn’t work like a poison pill. If I put the collected works of Arthur Conan Doyle on my website, that doesn’t mean the site can’t be CC BY-SA 4.0; it means someone is free to take that specific part without worrying about CC BY-SA 4.0.

    Even for the slop code where it’s more mixed in, it’s on the person trying to take it to affirmatively show the part they’re taking was generated by an LLM, i.e. you can’t just say “this is slop, I’m taking this” and expect a project to have to affirmatively defend that it’s human-written.

    And lastly, AI assistance doesn’t automatically even poison the code being created/changed with it. This one is murky, but so far, the general consensus is that so long as you, the human, worked on it – i.e. that you didn’t just let the slop machine run wild and take whatever it outputted without your own changes – it’s still your copyright.

    > “I REFUSE to speak their gibberish”

    > Calling other people “indulging in the childish marketing of corporations” (a corporation which I imagine you’d have to eat at a decent bit to be this pissed over it; couldn’t say having eaten there like once when I was 7).

    > Strawmanning those calling you out by insisting they’re doing the thing you profess not to with no evidence. (They might just ask for the fruit pancakes or whatever and not say the name but not make a big deal out of it.)

    > Putting up a giant “OBEY” sign because other people think you’re acting like a clown.

    No soapboxing here, nosiree.

    Fun for them is probably being around someone who doesn’t get up on a soapbox to profess their refusal to say the menu names at a shitty breakfast food chain like they’re making some kind of outraged, principled stand.

    Edit: Just want to point out the irony in eating at IHOP enough to have such a strong opinion on the menu names and then unironically calling other people obedient to corporations like IHOP because they think you’re acting obnoxious.
