(as an example, imagine a program for scheduling office space that needs to know how many people are expected to be in each day of the week for a certain number of weeks; there are always exactly 7 days in a week, no more and no less, so storing or passing that data would be redundant)

Array size isn't necessarily part of the type, because there are some instances, however rare, where you don't need it. And in those cases, storing it is a waste of memory.

C++ isn't holding your hand, you have to decide for yourself what is and isn't needed, to avoid bloat.

I think someone might have made a fake account imitating me and got involved with this? That's the only way I can think of that I'd get dragged into it.

I don't have an alt on bluesky!

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO TALIB KWELI IS!!!

What the hell is everyone talking about?

The process of training AI models does involve showing them works of art that were created before them, yes.

So does the process of training a human artist.

I can all but guarantee you that the majority of people who have graduated from art school have seen the Mona Lisa, is that also theft?

Prove it. Name them.

That's not the "real me". I am the real me.

From whom?

I literally do credit the AI model in the image.

I have very little money :(

No, I don't think it does. At least, no more than, say, the printing press did.

Social security, like most government retirement plans, literally is a ponzi scheme. The only mechanism for paying out older signees is newer signees.
