This article is somewhat of a glossary for all the words/phrases that I use that originate with Linux or related projects like GNU. Many of the terms here can be found in [The Jargon File](http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/). I don't just link to that because it's absolutely massive, but it's a very fun read through if you're interested in how people have talked about computing in the past.
|
||||
|
||||
## On Acronyms
|
||||
Unix LOVES their acronyms. `ls`? LiSt. `cat`? conCATenate. `grep`? Globular Regular Expression Print. Many commands and programs were designed to be typed quickly in the early days of computing, and holdovers persist to this day.

## Applying
|
||||
|
||||
I was one of the lucky ones that knew I wanted to be a lawyer right out of the gate.
|
||||
|
||||
With law school, a substantial minority of applicants are on their second career ("nontraditional students"). Quite a few also view law school as a backup plan after job prospects from their recent degree didn't pan out. Teachers and former aspiring history professors are plentiful in this degree. Others will go to law school because it feels like a logical step from their previous degree, rather than out of an actual desire to be an attorney. Unfortunately, the lack of easily accessible or common knowledge about law school harms both of these groups. For those not fully committed to being a lawyer, there is nothing in place to inform prospective students that their attitude would be detrimental to their performance. And for nontraditional students, the system is outright hostile, as it requires considerable time to be carved out of a working adult's day to navigate the steps for starting an application, *on top of* the time spent studying for the [[Misc/lsat|LSAT]] entrance exam.

When looking at the LSAT, it first appears to be a type of aptitude test where you either "have it" or you don't. It's designed to be an indicator of success in law school classes, so this would make sense. Unfortunately, that's not the case. It's absolutely an exam that can be studied for, and one that you can obtain a substantially higher grade from than your first attempt. As such, many different "prep courses" exist which will walk participants through previous question solutions or provide general strategies for question types. **Those who pay for a more expensive prep course will almost always do better than those who do not.** This makes the test hailed as an equalizer really just another secret indicator of financial ability that hampers the fairness of the process.

And the final nail in the coffin for immunity is precisely that lack of action in the absence of either a partial sword or partial shield. Again looking at YouTube, take a look at their [statement on AI](https://blog.youtube/inside-youtube/our-approach-to-responsible-ai-innovation/) from November. <img src="/Attachments/yt-label.png" alt="Screenshot of a YouTube Short's description with a badge reading: 'Altered or synthetic content.'

They claim a label will be applied by creators to AI videos. Yet it's been two months, and no such label appears on very recent videos like [US Presidents SURVIVE An ALIEN ATTACK In GTA 5](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgG7BnXzkAU). Their mentioned dispute tools are also absent, though we have no way of knowing whether those are truly implemented.
|
||||
In March 2024, YouTube implemented creator-added Synthetic Content labels as well as automatic, mandatory labeling for content created with their own AI tools. It can **only** be added on a computer on the web version of YT Studio. Their initially mentioned dispute tools are absent, though we have no way of knowing whether those are implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
Now look at Apple, who [*still* has no AI policy for the App Store](https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/). Or Google, whose solution is [user labor](https://techcrunch.com/2023/10/25/google-plays-policy-update-cracks-down-on-offensive-ai-apps-disruptive-notifications/).

The simple truth is that a platform will not enforce any standard if not compelled to. Section 230 was ultimately a net positive because it was a nice carrot to goad platforms into enforcing some ground rules, with a tantalizing shield from liability if they did so. The (rightful) fear then was that if held liable regardless of moderation policy, then platforms would not spend a dime on moderation because if just one post slipped through the lawsuit would hit just as hard. The articles fail to mention this important historical fact when they raise the specter of Section 230, despite the credibility it would lend to their arguments. Yet it does not apply to AI.
|
||||
- And in fact, having zero involvement actually enables websites to make an argument (albeit weakly) that they have *no* control over their users' content. Any moderation at all obviously defeats this argument. This underscored the historical need for an incentive, but now that argument is no longer applicable because of the previous sentence. We can guarantee that platforms will comply with the stick.

The simple truth is that a platform will not properly enforce any standard if not compelled to. Section 230 was ultimately a net positive because it was a nice carrot to goad platforms into enforcing some ground rules, with a tantalizing shield from liability if they did so. The (rightful) fear then was that if held liable regardless of moderation policy, then platforms would not spend a dime on moderation. That is, if even one post slipped through and harmed someone, the lawsuit would hit just as hard regardless of the effort expended to police the platform. The articles fail to mention this important historical fact when they raise the specter of Section 230, despite the credibility it would lend to their points. Yet this historical balance does not apply to AI.
|
||||
- More on the incentives pre-Section 230: having zero involvement actually enables websites to make an argument (albeit weakly) that they have *no* control over their users' content and should be absolved of liability. Any moderation at all obviously defeats this argument. This underscored the historical need for an incentive. However, this *still* doesn't apply to AI because we can guarantee that platforms already implement moderation (unless the nightmare outcome of repealing Section 230 happens).
|
||||
|
||||
Here, we have platforms that publicly state that they can fight the AI onslaught, but with no motivation behind it. Couple that with investor pressure to stay trendy and it's an environment ripe for stagnation. But we're in no danger of platforms abandoning moderation altogether. So when a carrot is no longer enough, it's time for a stick.

With respect to arguments (not seriously advanced by the articles in issue here) that the statute as a whole is an unconstitutional, note that this is not a legal justification essay. If I was going to evaluate the scrutiny arguments and precedent for whether this specific statute would be constitutional facially or as-applied to specific AI and non-AI examples, I'd submit it as a student note to law journals. I will point out, though, that many other categories of speech are given lesser or no protection just by nature of their effect or content (slander because it harms the subject, non-artistic obscenity, etc). My point is that such a hypothetical challenge would be a close case.

Finally, if the content of someone's AI-generated image/audio/whatever is truly for a 1st amendment protected purpose, nothing stops them from just...making their criticism/opinion without digital depictions. For example, I don't think there's some expressive meaning to making Biden say "I'm senile" that just stating your opinion yourself wouldn't convey (unlike images on a t-shirt, which were integral to the point that the student was trying to make in [*Guiles v.

Since the articles focus so intently on the Act's purported cabining of protected speech directly, they don't address the possibility of a chilling effect on speech. I actually think this point has more merit than the complaints about 1a defenses being limited, or an argument that the whole statute is impermissible because of its restrictions themselves rather than their broader effect. In fact, this point would be where the other arguments about the statute being vague/broad would have the most powerful effect.

## Conclusion
|
||||
Hopefully I've convinced you that there's more to the No AI FRAUD Act than meets the eye. Unlike the Act, I did have to cabin this essay heavily, because the IP nerd in me wants to revive my old RA position and just dive right back into the literature on rights of publicity, privacy, and appropriation. If I did that, I'd end up with a second essay on [[Essays/ai-infringement|AI infringement of IP rights (coming soon)]] and nobody wants that, haha. I definitely have more to say on Section 230, but outright analyses of that statute are kind of stale. If I find something else that it dovetails with, I'll explore it and devote too much of that future essay to it as usual.

As mentioned above, there's definitely a gap in my knowlege/views that broadens the more creative or traditionally-considered-artistic the subject matter gets. Copyright absolutely extends to the arts, but what place does attribution have when the purpose is to entertain? One can hardly document one's creative experience when working on a novel, a script, a painting, in the same way a legal brief can be. I do believe in the necessity of personal attribution for those who directly contributed to an artistic work (think the credits section of a movie) for professional reasons, but beyond that, I'm uncertain.

## Digital Gardening and Plagiarism
|
||||
For digital gardening in particular, attribution is integral to the concept. [[Misc/what-is-a-garden|A digital garden]] is a network, and the culture of the digital garden is to provide paths out of the current webpage to others on the same site or even to other websites. These associations between webpages make up a comprehensive experience that differs from modern web use (Google search, click, close the tab) and looks more like Wikipedia spelunking.

Thus, the true value of attribution in a digital garden is mostly in the link itself rather than the substance of the current page or the linked page. This does not discount the importance of linking to those resources, though.

Based on the older `vim` text editor (which was in turn based on `vi`, the [[Dict/BSD|BSD]] Unix program), Neovim is designed to be as minimally intrusive as possible while remaining responsive to the needs of a developer.
|
||||
|
||||
This does come with a high learning curve, as Neovim is a *modal text editor*. `vi` was created in the days that a computer was simply a circuit board, a keyboard, and a CRT monitor; no fancy peripherals like a "mouse" or a "touch screen". As such, it needed to be usable in such a non-user-friendly environment.

@ -34,7 +34,7 @@ Neovim has three commonly used modes (among others):
|

- *Insert mode*: This one is most familiar to those that use Notepad on Windows, or any of the similar Linux/Mac programs. It's just a normal text editor, type letters/numbers/punctuation and navigate with the arrow keys.
|
||||
- *Visual mode*: For selecting blocks of text and doing things with a selected block like cutting it to paste somewhere else.
|
||||
|

In Normal mode, you can tell Neovim what to do by giving it commands. By default, you start a command with the colon. I shouldn't tell you this, but typing `:q` from Normal mode and pressing Enter will exit the program, because `q` is the Quit command. [[Misc/linux-isms#On Acronyms|Unix loves their acronyms]].

I'm a believer in the principle that your computer should adapt to you, so I often find myself writing tiny little files around [[Projects/my-computer|my computer]] that I don't want to open VSCode to edit. I just open a terminal (if I'm not already working in one), pull up the path, type the file name, make my changes, and done. It's quick, it's easy, and (my favorite) it's free.
|
||||
- To speed the process of opening a terminal, I recommend a dropdown terminal (also called a "quake-style" terminal). The aim is that when you press a keyboard shortcut (Alt+backtick for me), it opens a terminal. I've used both [Guake](http://guake-project.org/) and a docked [tabby-terminal](https://tabby.sh/) for the same end. Still on the fence over which I like more.

#### Immutable Distros
|
||||
Something that's gaining popularity is the immutable operating system, where the underlying filesystem is intentionally resistant to change. I don't see this as overly resistant in my sense, mainly because providers like VanillaOS and Fedora Silverblue recognize that this resistance is present and provide alternative routes to install software. It's more of a compromise.

## Basic knowledge

Linux is designed for someone already familiar with one variant to be able to make certain assumptions about any other Linux system. This is more of a guideline to modern design choices than an actual rule.

Linux grew out of a collection of operating system standards called POSIX. Most of those standards pertain to how the system behaves when you interact with it through a [[Misc/shell#The Terminal|terminal]]. But when the open source community got involved with its development, its design had to evolve in a way that could satisfy group "consensus," and could handle many groups developing all its different facets asynchronously.

- Migrated some Misc articles to the new folder [Dict](/Dict), where I'll be shoving any one-liner definitional files from now on. Some will be longer than others, but if I'm just defining a word/phrase or the tech behind it from a neutral standpoint, it will go in there.
