  • I feel like they need a test case to figure out how to define derivative work when the creator is not human.

    If i make a painting and you see it and then make one in a similar style it would be considered derivative and not a violation. In your head is a distillation of my image. It doesn’t contain the image and your output would be lossy. Similarly the LLM contains statistics and not verbatim content. So the question is “how is human synthesis different than AI synthesis.”

    Until that is resolved a class action would probably fall apart. Individual damages would need to be determined and even a single example of “you put your stuff out to the public and aren’t going aftet Joe who made derivative work…” would derail the case.


  • For a long time I was doing a bullet journal for management and another notebook for notes, written in shorthand. was great for when i worked in an office, didn’t have to lug around my computer. The downside was that deep searching for things was impossible. You tell me the day and I could find it but 3 months about at some point we talked about X…

    Now that I’ve been work from home for 6 years I’ve switched to todo.txt and Obsidian (vimwiki set to output the same location). Syncthing to keep computer and phone working.

    i also do 43 Folders for intake of mail and tasks with some sort of physical medium.

    As for workflow I have a daily note template that has:

    • Morning routine checklist (already filled out)
    • Curated To Do list for the day
    • Section for Meetings / Calls / One Off Immediate Task
    • General Notes
    • “For tomorrow…”

    My routine has steps for filling out the rest of the notes and lists, checking emails, 43 folders, etc. This way all i really have to do is follow the steps.
