At least in the UK computer generated code has been copyright-able for decades [1]

> (3)In the case of a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work which is computer-generated, the author shall be taken to be the person by whom the arrangements necessary for the creation of the work are undertaken.

And the ToS of the major/minor AI providers as far as i can tell have no opinion on what you do with the code in terms of ownership.

Yea i got about 900k - they have since added a "Gift usage" section under settings/ My Quota

The kimi.com interface also seems to indicate they can be used there (the badge to say its using gift quota is there for me).

However under Usage Details/Gift Quota it seems to indicate that it is consuming it via kimi code and sure enough my usage is reflected there from kimi cli. Odd and a tad vague

Incredibly in one comment you've managed to do all of

1. It's not happening

2. It's a good thing

3. Peddle false information

Impressive

Wait until you find out what the EU want/have asked the GAM trio of big tech corps to do to your phone and private messaging platforms. (Coincidentally they suddenly don't think so big an anti competition problem exists anymore).

Why not make personal responsibility illegal whilst we are at it. It is egregious that an individual can be held accountable for their own behaviours.

So you don't want to answer the question?

How is Greenland a vital interest to France? Especially in the context of initiating a nuclear war with a friendly nation?

So your supposition is strategic national defense game theory should be based on hoping for a mutiny from the opposite side? Is rationality dead? What are you lot talking about.

You have ignored any questions put to you in this thread. You are speaking in some kind of fervour I can't decrypt.

You think there's a game theory scenario in the book where France launches a nuclear weapon at mainland USA over a land dispute between them and Denmark?

I'm sorry but you are not interacting with the rational suppositions of posters in various threads here. No one is arguing for a war except you. People are explaining to you the strategic reality and you are espousing rhetoric that I honestly can't decipher.

1. Denmark cannot win militarily

2. You are suggesting Denmark would not capitulate and indeed enter into a state of war

What do you think happens in this situation?

This is absurd in the extreme. In actual war there is absolutely no possibility of success for Denmark, even with the help of allies. Failure to capitulate results in nothing but death and destruction with no hope of strategic gain to begin with. What you are likely experiencing is a modern belief that screaming and shouting will bring popular diplomatic pressure to bear on the opponent, thus arresting their actions.

There was similar tough talk in 1940 and Denmark lasted 6 hours. Without capitulation the country would have been razed. But surrender saw it able to keep some level of control and thus extricate the Jewish population in relative safety which would not otherwise have been possible.

They sent a clarifying email today

> Our email yesterday was imprecise relative to our actual new Terms. To be specific:

> You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service (Zed’s AI-enabled software-as-a-service offering, including features like account creation/sign in, Zed Free and Zed Pro, and collaboration). See https://zed.dev/terms#21-eligibility. We set the threshold at 18 due to children's data privacy obligations under COPPA, equivalent international frameworks, and an increasing number of state and regional laws that extend protections to anyone under 18. Those regulations require parental consent verification, age-gated data handling, and separate retention policies for minors. Building and maintaining that infrastructure is a real cost for a small team, and getting it wrong carries regulatory risk. Setting the line at 18 lets us maintain a single privacy framework for all account holders without carve-outs.
