    Enough with the AI moralizing. As a software developer I spent my whole career looking at examples of other people’s work and incorporating their coding techniques into my own work without ever hunting any of them down and paying them. Possibly other people have done the same with my code. Bottom line, I don’t care, it’s always been common practice. And I don’t see anything wrong with a human being writing code to automate that process - that’s the whole idea of coding.







  • Like most con men, RFK is using people’s ignorance of what odds mean. If the chance of getting sick from swimming in that water is only say one percent, he knows the odds are extremely good that he won’t individually get sick, and then he will palm this off as “evidence” that it’s all a big fuss over nothing. The park service might know maybe 100,000 people will swim in that water this season, so they’ll probably save about a thousand from getting sick by closing the place. Even if somebody who does get sick manages to get the attention of a news outlet, they can be scoffed at as an anomaly. “How do you even know the water was responsible? Where else have you been? You’re just looking for attention!”
