Hope this slop doesn’t get anyone into trouble. Last updated: never No further pages. No hidden clauses. Not sure “last updated=never” works, but I don’t make terms and conditions websites.

This does not read like it was written by a professional. Non-professionals writing licenses and T&Cs cause problems because no organization, for profit or not, wants to be dragged into court to get a "common sense" definition of a word or comma defined, at their expense. I've heard of large organizations reaching out to places who use amateur T&Cs and licenses, saying "if we give you $X, can you dual license this as MIT, Apache, BSD, or hell anything standard?". > Access is not conditioned on approval Is this obvious enough legalese to not waste tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees if you get sued? Note before you reply: I will not argue with you about how obvious it is. If you are actually a lawyer then it'd be interesting to hear your guidance, which I very much understand is not legal advice. If you're not a lawyer then I'm not.

I wonder how many one-sentence prompts have made it to the HN front page at this point.

Just today I asked an LLM: "Often one generation values things much more than others. Boomers and their wristwatches. One generation is like 'only from my cold dead hands,' the others 'what would I even need this for?!' What are examples of things the youngest generation did away with? " If OP were a checklist, the answer would have checked every point.

I like how, even when the whole point is to not have any terms or conditions, there are still disclaimers. "Only for lawful purposes," "no warranty," "we are not responsible." Those are still terms and conditions!

goes without saying that this site definitely does not, legally

I know this is mostly parody, but I'm curious if anyone has good starter templates for something that covers the general stuff and doesn't require a lawyer to customize

No further update.

The URL basically nulls the license agreement.

i do wonder if the world would be a better place if instead of lawyers we had cage matches
