The "but" is literally in response to what you quoted.

For example if I code an entire application in c by myself without ai then told ai to redo the whole thing in rust I would retain copyright.

If you just prompt the same application from scratch and accept by in large the outputs. No copyrighht. This is how the vast majority are using it to create new systems not using it as a tool to enhance majority human generated code or images or books etc.

The more it creates from pure prompts the lesser chance you have to claim copyright.

You left out the big "but". But if ai gets more optimized and automated our current conclusion will be more bolstered.

This is old news. The copyright office already ruled that AI generative outputs are not copyrightable in January [1].

I think many have not understood the implications of the CO ruling. This means anything you build with llms you don't own. Your company doesn't own. If your using copilot and you have a copyright notice at the top of your source file if that ever goes to court you will learn that copyright is not valid. You cant even put an open source license on the output, like the GPL, because...drumroll...you don't own the copyright.

The copyright office has already ruled recently that prompts are not enough to gain copyright no matter how detailed or how many iterations.

Furthermore, the Copyright Office stated that prompts alone do not provide sufficient human control, as AI models do not consistently follow instructions in the prompts and often "fill in the gaps" left by prompts and "generate multiple different outputs"

What's crazy is this was always seen as a left wing car. If you drove one of these into small blue collar towns there is a chance you would have been harassed a few short years ago.

You just had 4 years of Lina Khan who was suppose to be the hard liner anti big tech chair, yet basically did nothing by picking loser cases like atvi.

But sure blame Trump.

New comment by jarsin in "Ask HN: Why are so many US States a closed primary state?"

jarsin — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 17:27:52 +0000

How many of those non party voters even care enough to vote in a primary. My guess is very few and if they did then they should switch their non to a party.

My experience with primaries is only the most dedicated vote in them. For example in Nevada you have to sit in rooms in schools and listen to every nut that wants to give a ten minute speech to change your vote.

Why? It's mainly so people of that party are the ones choosing the candidates for that party. Without closed the other side purposely tries to sabotage the otherside by voting for the worst candidate.

Looks like they programmed the auto mod to look for trump + tesla in same article.

I vouched, but probably will get flagged again.

> I’ve found that almost no founders or friends I speak with have any vision for the future anymore.

I think in general there is a feeling that the time to get your bag is rapidly shrinking.

Once everything is built by these things there will be no reason to create anything as the platform owners (big tech) will be able to take everything for themselves and no longer have to share 70% with those pesky creators/small business/startups etc.

jarsin — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 22:40:55 +0000

Copyright office recently ruled that outputs are generally not copyrightable without significant human changes. Prompts are also not copyrightable. I'm actually surprised that is not discussed around these parts more because it essentially means any app etc built by AI has no copyright protection. Thus code from llms cannot be opensourced using opensource licenses. Business cannot stop users from stealing their apps etc.

It also means that if you build something with a popular llm then big tech now has your inputs and outputs, and you have no IP to stop them from stealing either.

The next ruling from the copyright office is around fair use that big tech is pushing for.

New comment by jarsin in "Coinbase phishing email tricks users with fake wallet migration"

jarsin — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 23:34:37 +0000

This email was sitting in my inbox. Luckily don't use Coinbase anymore, but they brought this on themselves and their users.

Leaking all of our emails then doing crap like making everyone migrate to their wallet etc.

They should be held liable for all hacks since the leaks.

Please let the bubble burst...
