- qoez 2y agoSame for openai (in a very real sense ie they train on your essense and soul via what you type and a part of you will be part of the future weights).
- wruza 2y agoThis wisdom got superceded by "you are the product". It was an echo of the old days, now everyone and their dog phones your data home in some form and sells it.
- namaria 2y agoI think you mean superseded
- wruza 2y agoI did some research and now think I like supercede more, cause it’s softer in Latin meaning (go over vs sit over). Thanks!
- namaria 2y agoI don't understand what you mean. There is a Latin word 'supersedere' but there is no 'supercedere'.
- wruza 2y agoI guess I got the meaning of cedere wrong. If it has this “to give way” sense, then yep, adding super to it makes no sense in this context. That said, you can add “super” to almost anything, since it means “over”. It just has to have reasonable meaning.
- namaria 2y agoAh fair enough. All words are invented and language is fluid and all that. I was just trying to be helpful because we all have our spelling blind spots.
