I think the vast majority of voters will have something to say about that.

That seems like folly, since some courts somewhere will surely, at some point, find these LLMs to be in (IMO, fairly obvious) violation of copyright and/or license terms. Especially when it’s geopolitically expedient. Especially as t

The job is to make widgets, not to use specific tools to make widgets. When has that ever been the case before? None of my bosses ever gave a shit what editors I used, for example. Certainly not the CEOs. You sound weirdly angry and aggress

Not OP, but… “When you're in Hollywood and you're a comedian, everybody wants you to do other things. All right, you're a stand-up comedian, can you write us a script? That's not fair. That's like if I worked hard t

That’s not how that works. I don’t usually have an inner monologue either, but I do have an abstract stream of thought. It’s not as if I am always acting on instinct.

Seconded. I guess it makes sense with tech leaders like Musk and DHH making white supremacy fun and cool again. But the internet always remembers, and will continue to remember when these things are not fun and cool anymore.

Aid could have been tapered; advance warning could have been given. But Musk very publicly delighted in feeding USAID into the woodchipper, causing people to die as a direct result of his hasty actions. He simply did not give a fuck about t

My point is that the most prominent tech CEO definitely killed people through reckless action, without apology or remorse. The actual number is unquestionably more than ten; almost certainly in the thousands; and, based (again) on research

“Musk gleefully fed USAID into the woodchipper which directly caused X deaths that could have been avoided through gradual tapering of aid.” Simple question: how small does X have to be for you to not care? Or do you genuinely believe that

IIRC, I personally read three different articles where journalists on the ground described specific deaths (with names) from the sudden and unexpected cutoff of aid. And there were studies from top-ranked universities numbering deaths in th

That every Musk-adjacent article and PR summary isn’t prefaced with this basic, indisputable fact is repulsive.

Actually, the moat is regulatory. Expect these companies to behave themselves in progressively more grotesque and sycophantic ways to get the federal government to make open/foreign models (and their output) illegal. After all, their v

“the thing you haven't come to terms with…” Why the fuck do so many people write like this nowadays? Quit acting like you have access to some sort of universal knowledge or unique insight into other people’s state of mind; it’s extreme

So… similar levels of garbage code, but with no eyes looking at it.

Speaking for myself, I would not touch any professional practice sporting a slopcoded website with a ten-foot pole.

Unless this is the endpoint of software engineering (React for the next thousand years?) someone’s gonna have to do the work of understanding and pushing things forward. It won’t be an agent.

It's a huge mistake to think that indie teams would make better games if only they could balloon their projects to AAA-size. Some of the most meaningful and engrossing gaming experiences of my life have come from 1-3 person teams, es

It's pretty clear to me that the primary value-add of AI is as an enshittification accelerator. (At least in the commercial sector.)

Using “woke psychosis” seriously in a sentence is its own kind of psychosis.

That’s a whole lot of words that, when strung together, mean absolutely nothing. Good job.

How convenient. Incidentally, this suggests that once an LLM is capable of accessing and distilling a competitor's LLM without human intervention, then any legal argument about TOS violation is moot. But somehow I doubt that will fly i

And what if the LLM ingested and “understood” it as part of its training?

When I was 13, these games were delightfully naughty and super exciting. But with age comes empathy, and it just doesn’t feel good anymore to rob and kill randos in a virtual world. I see enough of that shit on the news. Same reason I proba

AI is not an abstraction, which should be obvious to anyone who's progressed past programming 101.
