"I just don’t like feeding the “grey goo of information”"
If your voice isn't spoken then it will go unheard. It is of course up to you but I think that blogs and websites run by real people are invaluable (and I'd love to see what AI makes of that word!)
This is the bigger issue at the moment: https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1008897/bbe01d846ec5e9cd/ https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1008897/bbe01d846ec5e9cd/
- Retric 2y agoScraping is a short term anomaly. The hype cycle is already dying which quickly reduces the amount of resources devoted to such efforts. Where I think that post failed is poisoning the well of anyone ignoring Robots.txt is arguably a moral imperative. That post was concerned with wasting kWh, but ensuring that bad actors don’t profit discourages people from being bad actors.
- simianparrot 2y agoMy «voice» isn’t heard from a trained LLM anyway. Only a vague, blended and remixed imitation at best. As a human I have no interest in feeding that beast.
- gerdesj 2y agoI can hear your voice, right here, right now! You wrote your comment in English but used French style quotation marks and made a few minor grammatical errors in your first sentence (won't instead of isn't, by instead of from). Your second sentence beautifully paints a gloomy image with just nine words and your final flourish has just the right level of "fuck it". If you can deliver that amount of character in a single line in a second language then please do feed the beast. We are all the product of what we eat. The beast needs to eat its greens and suck up some vitamins.
- watwut 2y agoI used to write technical things. I would not be heard anyway. I don't feel like giving free inputs to an AI company. They will use it and once they have domination they will abuse their position.
