  • You’re licking the boots of a company that uses the work of others without compensation or credit then sells it back to you at a premium. This is the exact behavior the GPL license aimed to prevent. I have nothing against the technology if it’s made with permission and benefits the people it depends on, but that’s clearly not the case here.

    Ludites are an apt comparison. The Luddites fought to protect their industry from industrialists who aimed to replace them with cheap, low skilled and child labour. The goal of AI isn’t advancement it’s replacement, and most of the companies pushing it are transparent about that.













  • My solution:

    The outer square lines in the third column/row is the result of the difference between what exists in the first two items in that row/column. Only outer lines appearing only once will be in the 3rd shape. The center lines seem to be only center lines that appear in both shapes. Therefore x is 52, since all outer shapes cancel and there are no shared center lines. The rest is fairly simple.

    The second derivative of f(x) is 78x + 22, so the answer is 78(52) + 22 + 52 = 4130

    I’m not completely confident in this solution but it seems to be consistent with the known columns and rows.
