"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

First tool ban is here! A new law was just signed in New York that requires blueprint blocking technology on every CNC machine, laser cutter, lathe and 3D printer. This affects everyone who makes, builds or fixes things. This isn't a firearms law. It's a manufacturing law. And they buried it in the budget because they knew exactly what it was.

Haven't watched the video, but how does this work out in practice?

How can a CNC differ between my own design and a design I've got from a homepage?

Also, how can they block me from sharing my designs for fixing something on a device?

I'm a quite flabbergasted how this should work

Or is there no practical mechanism, only the law that makes everything illegal I try to fix?
That would also be quite an asshole move, but who cares, when I fix a broken hinge in an old appliance?
As long as I don't return it for warranty, the producer has pretty much no say, what I do with my fucking stuff...?
