Sigh, I finally need to write up why this is delusional.
TLDR: if you're rewriting the implementation of an API, with an honest-to-god cleanroom (which LLMs are not) *and* a decidedly different underpinning *and* have a good-faith reason to do it, then reuse of the API is probably fair use.
Daphne and @corbinkbarthold.bsky.social and… me?!?!!
If you're just doing it to avoid the license's requirements, and it isn't a cleanroom, and the underpinning OS is the same (so the structure and organization are likely highly similar), it almost certainly is not transformative and will likely not be a fair use.
Going to just pick one part here to take up which is the Rousseauian notion that agriculture leads to land ownership which leads to warfare.
If that were true, we'd expect non-agricultural societies (hunter gatherers especially) to be relatively peaceful.
Instead, they're hyper-militarized. 1/

The whole world needs a functional California Democratic party, which prefers channeling our justified outrage into effectiveness and state capacity, rather than performative stunts.
So... siiiigh/yiiikes.
True of many systems that need to be resilient. Have been trying to push Wikipedians away from knee-jerk "step 0: ask WMF to pay for it" as a solution to many infrastructure problems in part for this reason.

Sigh.
Bookshop.org is amazing because they build software for public good without accepting compromise: it has to be every bit as good as the alternatives. So I regret to inform that if you excitedly pre-order a friend’s book, Bookshop will happily let you do that repeatedly without a warning 😂
