07:58:48 <kuhnovic> "LLMs killed openttd"
08:02:36 * Rubidium assumes andythenorth was not reacting to my contribution
08:02:57 <andythenorth> No, it occurred to me independently
08:03:49 <andythenorth> GPL has always depended on contributor asserting copyright, not reviewer verifying copyright
08:04:16 <andythenorth> Well that’s not quite the right framing but
08:05:07 <andythenorth> It’s the right of authorship that is significant, not the means of production

08:59:59 <andythenorth> Copyright wasn’t established in a context where machines are the main source of production for the artefacts
09:00:56 <andythenorth> Are the machines also source of production for the semantics. Or do the semantics only arise from the human generated training data?
09:16:02 <dh1> yes?
09:17:03 *** Wolf01 has joined #openttd
09:18:56 <FLHerne> I don't think a strongly anti-LLM policy will age well, they're clearly becoming very widely used tools
09:20:25 <dh1> policies don't need to age well
09:20:34 <dh1> they need to be useful in their moment
09:20:42 <FLHerne> and frankly there'd be an irony in /this project/ adopting a very maximalist interpretation of copyright law, if that's the actual concern which I doubt
09:20:57 <dh1> lol yeah
09:21:34 <dh1> can you imagine how shit rollercoaster tycoon would have been if chris sawyer used ai instead of hand-sewing every bit with his teeth
09:23:12 <FLHerne> I can't think of any sane definition that would make LLM outputs a copyright infringement of their training data, but not the process leading to ottd 0.1

11:17:39 <andythenorth> it's all got a bit grumpy
11:17:49 <andythenorth> might be a UK thing
11:18:04 <andythenorth> I noticed when I got back from Croatia, UK is in a sour mood 😛
11:18:10 <andythenorth> politics, economy, etc
11:18:24 <andythenorth> shall we release OpenTTD 15 and rejoice?

22:21:42 <reldred> That’s awesome though.
22:22:12 <reldred> So good for bridge sets that don’t provide maglev sprites

22:23:52 <peter1138> "Time to release a beta?" "Uh... su... re...?"
22:24:37 <peter1138> Perhaps it should require a bridge flag to be set, instead of assuming.
22:24:49 <peter1138> (That's harder to test with existing bridges though.)
