Damn it's almost as if this was a conversation we should have had around 2018 at the latest. Like evident bias in social networks was a real concern all along. What was the response every single time ? Ah yes. "Get your own Twitt

We put up with it mostly because it enables a lot of communication to happen at all. You want to hold the corporations legally liable for the content their host, you can say goodbye to basically reddit as a whole, any twitter clone, youtube

This is ultimately silly but, I thought this dialogue was with the Flash? Isn't it this one? https://i.redd.it/vmmv2d3h2q181.jpg

Fairly certain Occam's Razor would point to "they don't have the capabilities" rather than that.

English is my second language, with that in mind, I felt it may be interesting or amusing to some the parts which were "hard" for me to understand. >Michaelmas term lately over I had no idea that "Michaelmas" was even

If the process is the product, then anyone who is not involved with the process has no right to say anything about the product. Not to mention, there's a lot of stuff beyond an "aesthetic experience". Videogames have historic

Not very...? In the west, billionaires are often able to get extremely favorable treatment by the law as an expression of the power money gives. This is not the case in China, in which the party stands at the top. In practice that's ju

It doesn't matter if they get it, because they wouldn't care either way. They would just pivot to "but more are destroyed this way" or "but these have value or they wouldn't buy them" or some variant of it

It's an excellent play by them, using moral outrage to the benefit of the project. When life gives you lemons...

The outraged people don't care. They hate AI, and so anything surrounding AI that can be evil is evil. Books are good, AI destroys books, AI is bad. Furthermore, they like that AI is bad. Because they think it's bad, and being r

The degree to which his works have been dragged through the mud by a bunch of people who insist on calling everything they don't like "capitalism" can't be overstated. The majority of people complaining about capitalism

Not to remove any merit from Poland, but I think the EU deserves a bit of recognition here.

It's actually worrying that people seriously believe stuff like this.

These are two completely different types of mistakes. LLMs are, by now, pretty good at not making "code doesn't work" and "math doesn't work" kind of mistakes when writing code. These are also "easy"

By now, such things are so prevalent that I don't think it would even make the news anywhere.

It's a form of engaging, plus it's a rant. I've yet to see good outcomes from self-infantilizing.

It's just really hard to affirm that something has "no practical use whatsoever". Maybe it doesn't have use "now", maybe it doesn't have "direct" use but can be used for another finding that is

Yes, how does the LLM make a difference there? Inexperienced developers write bad code. Hell, experienced developers who are outside their domain write bad code too, then you later realize that it's hard to read, or that it leads to ar

It's harder to convince people to all agree on the same, different from the norm, thing. If you've got 5 people in a car and you play ABBA in every road trip, then one day you suggest to change, the problem is not in being okay wi

The "left" as in the party, sure, not that much of an authoritarian leaning. The "left" as in the pervasive group that crawled out of Tumblr, took hold of Twitter back in the day, and has a stronghold on Reddit now? Thos

Then that's the point. You know the code sucks, the guy who vibecoded it either didn't know or didn't care. That's the added value.

With the ruckus, I thought this would be something that was displayed in Google Earth. I can't grasp how this is an issue at all? There are other 20 services you can use to do this exact same thing.
