It sucks that we're living in a landscape where bad actors take advantage of that way of doing things.

It's so funny to see people in this industry get super excited about revenue while never mentioning costs.

Great, we've got mediocre writing from unprofitable companies that are subsidizing the cost of this technology.

Yeah callousness does seem to be the leaking area of improvement.

The smartest and most well funded people on the planet have been trying and failing to get value out of this technology for years and the best we've come up with so far is some statistically unreliable coding assistants. Hardly the rev

It's painfully obvious all these people are talking about LLMs, but if you have some revolutionary new ai technology maybe you should share it with the class.

Right it's just morally repugnant but it's legal so who cares.

There's no evidence that porn addiction is nearly as harmful as drug addiction other than making some religious people feel more shame about it than usual. If the argument is that the people who produce porn are doing something illegal

This doesn't really track with widespread and normalized use of pornographic materials, including written descriptions, by most adults in this country. There's a pretty wide gulf between "I don't think kids should be abl

The AI imagery The checklist The idea that everyone in the party is quietly evaluating you and making up a story in their head The forced body language The weird conversation starters Like all this stuff is forced and artificial and the goa

Pixel art isn't just bucketing a higher resolution image into a lower resolution. If you're going to use that term, you should probably have at least a basic understanding of the medium.

It's advocating for some honestly weird behavior. Doing some of this stuff seems manipulative, like it's straight out of an interaction in American Psycho. It treats human interactions as transactional. It's gross.

We don't understand human intelligence enough to make any comparisons like this

One of the most insightful comments I've seen on this site.

Yeah people have been offshoring then onshoring once they realize offshoring sucks since at least the 90s. I remember my dad, who was also a software dev, complaining about it 20 years ago. It always swings back. The network effect in huge

Sometimes I wonder if LLM proponents even understand their own bullshit. It's all just tokens in the context window right? Aren't system prompts just tokens that stay appended to the front of a conversation? They're going to

I'm not opposed to reforms to the current system, it's far from perfect. Both of the cases you mentioned have an important need for IP law.

Folks who believe this are going to lose a lot of money fixing broken software and shipping products that piss off their users.
