As someone who works with API's everyday I'm curious about what the basic use case for this tool is? Not trying to hate, serious question.

Ideas can't be copyrighted. The media that describes it can be. Ideas can't be patented either, you need a non obvious novel invention, a reduction to practice. That the theory anyway.

Yeah, that's a valid point. I probably could've written a better headline. This tool is more intended for coming up with ideas for writing headlines, social posts etc

Interesting that the article emphasizes making development easier. I've dealt with a lot of low/no-code tools and my experience is that it only really seems to make common use cases easier. Seemingly this would allow developers to focus more on the difficult problems of programming, which inherently isn't easier, but probably makes the job more interesting. Setting up CMS's or building basic CRUD functionality can get old pretty quickly.

“No shit”.

Wait, you mean something that literally tracks any and all actions in a literal chain of history that is immutable is easy to track?!?

You mean that pattern recognition can be applied to even “randomized” in both size, time, and destination of transactions can be done to track like how they can track burner phones?

I’m shocked! Shocked I say!

so you're saying the blockchain is not made up of physical blocks?

How are people going to do moral things against an immoral enforcer when the enforcer becomes immoral, if we assume all are too immoral to have the right to privacy?

I definitely get the point. I often have the urge to use destructuring for saving space, but want to kick myself when revisiting the code a month or two later. I like your rules, thanks for sharing.

Isn't it already illegal to harm people? Not sure why AI is specifically singled out. What about quantum computers, other emerging tech? Seems like a dangerous precedent. Hard for me to believe politicians have the technical competence to police such matters effectively.

This post illustrates my ignorance. I thought biology's biggest problem was mortality
