Permission is hereby granted: sad AI sings the MIT license [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2024-04-04  

In this video, an AI (prompted by Riley Goodside, an engineer at Scale AI) offers a sad, piano-backed performance of the MIT license, a permissive software agreement that allows for free reuse of the material thereby licensed.

The way it whispers the "the software" parenthetical is really something, but you can't beat the soaring and emotional cry of "Warranties of Merchantability, fisted for a particular purpose."
