  • This is stupid on the surface, BUT “milk” in some jurisdictions is protected with legal standards. This prevents watering down or other issues.

    I am not familiar with the UK, so I don’t know if this is applicable.

    In the US, “ice cream” is protected and has to meet standards, otherwise it is called a “frozen dairy dessert”.

    Additionally, in the US we recently had a massive butter recall from Costco because it did not label “dairy” as an allergen. Common sense indicates butter contains milk, HOWEVER, these allergen labels are the law and the allergens feed into downstream items. IE, if you use the butter to make brownies, then the brownies must be labeled. If you automate this process or whatever, you could miss this, due to it not being labeled correctly.


  • Putting a license on a comment isn’t how licensing works.

    One party can’t unilaterally decide we are in a contract (what a license is).

    If they moved their comment behind a wall and required clicking “I agree” then it would be a valid agreement.

    It’s the same thing as people posting “don’t use my data” in their Facebook wall. It’s not how legal agreements work.

    Any AI crawler will just suck up their data regardless of them putting a license in their comments.

    If they truly want to stop AI from using their comment, they should advocate for a more robust robots.txt on their instances server.














  • Even if the external investigators are good and it is truly the intention of upper management to get to the bottom of it and they are fully prepared to fire anyone who did something wrong, (I’m not casting doubt on their motives) I truly believe that the external investigation will clear them or they’ll point to 1 person and fire them.

    Reason being is memories fade, fear of reprisals, people make excuses or believe certain things weren’t as they were, and there is likely not a lot written down.

    Unfortunately, it’s likely to be a he said/she said situation.
