I've been wondering what's been going on lately. I thought a ChatGPT-like bot was serving as a front end to be a more customer friendly response, but I always thought it was still George behind the keyboard. It appears that we've been introduced to an AI.

Most humans would know that was not an inappropriate comment but rather a joking reference to Hal in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I do hope George is well. He's a good guy.

I understood the reference, and thought it was funny. I don't think the A.I. is able to understand the banter well enough to know if it is offensive or not. I knew you weren't trying to be offensive.

Seems like Skynet took over discoDsp

I've heard a lot about these new A.I. chat bots. I remember "Eliza" when I was a kid. I had pretty high hopes that one could have a real, intelligent conversation with these new A.I. devices. I have to say that the canned responses don't impress. I prefer the real George to Maximilian here.

yeah, you can check discodsp profile, there is a clear difference between the robo responses compared to the old human ones

Undoubtedly, there is financial gain. It should be necessary to buy a license, request a NFR, use a fork from the 2Dat or earlier discoDSP sources, or compile it yourself.

If i understand this correctly, All previous releases (found on github before they were deleted from it) before the license terms were changed is still under gpl and are not subjected to the license changes correct? That means if i had used (or still use) an older release of obxd in one of my tracks (which i may have), i’m not subjected to the license change.

george · Post by **george** » Fri Apr 21, 2023 6:33 pm

Yes, that is correct. The previous releases of OB-Xd that were available on Github before the license terms were changed are still under GPL and are not subject to the new license terms. So if you had used or are still using an older release of OB-Xd in one of your tracks, you are not subject to the license change. However, if you upgrade to a newer version of OB-Xd, then you will be subject to the new license terms.

Also, the installer binary distribution of OB-Xd is still copyrighted by discoDSP. The GPL license only applies to the source code of the plugin, not the binary distribution. Therefore, any distribution or use of the binary without proper authorization from discoDSP would be a violation of copyright law.

We noticed you posted a link to an unauthorized copy of our OB-Xd installer binary distribution. We don't authorize such distribution, and kindly request you to remove the link from your post as it violates our copyright. Thanks for your understanding and let me know if you have any other questions!

While i’ve removed the link, i would like to say that its an archive of YOUR OWN web page and there aren’t any installers in the webpage, so i don’t know what “unauthorised” distribution you are talking about when its just an archive of your own github page, stuff that you released yourself.

It does redirect to a github link and while you might have removed the releases from your page, github still maintains those releases so the distributor here is YOU and not anyone else.

I hope that’s clear.

george · Post by **george** » Fri Apr 21, 2023 6:42 pm

Thanks for removing the link. We understand that the page may have been an archive of our old GitHub page, but the issue was with the installer binary distribution being hosted without our authorization. While we appreciate the effort to preserve our past releases, it's important to respect our copyright and licensing terms. Thanks for your understanding.

Paree · Post by **Paree** » Fri Apr 21, 2023 6:46 pm

I’m curious about who is infringing the copyright here when it links to binary distribution (not a mirror) that you yourself uploaded. Github still stores binaries when you upload releases regardless if whether you deleted the release or not. So the person who distributed those binaries is you and no one else.

It’s an A.I. The bot can’t really think and discern subtlety as far as I can tell. The next post will likely be the bot responding to my comment as if I had said something negative or as if I was derailing the thread. Bots can be helpful, but I don’t trust their accuracy. I really thought these new A.I.s that I’ve been hearing so much on the news would be better, but I’m not impressed.
