Common sense. The same way I make the determination as to whether a linked search result is good and I don't need to click on another search result. It's not like non-AI webpages are inherently more trustworthy or anything. The in

When I talk about code it can learn from, I'm talking about GitHub etc. Even if stuff isn't in the official documentation, eventually there are projects that use it. And if the library in question is open-source, then the LLM&#x27

by crazygringo 5mo ago
Plenty of documentation, and plenty of code that the AI can read itself. E.g. if a library has a bug that has a common workaround, it can learn that from open source code using the library that uses the workaround.

Camera phones have been hallucinating texture and details for years now. This is nothing new, it's just now part of the compression layer as well. And defense attorneys have been making arguments about the unreliability of all sorts of

I would say all of those examples you are picking are at the micro scale. Obviously it's a somewhat arbitrary division between macro and micro, what you consider to be the macro objects versus what you consider to be the micro details.

I think it's fascinating because it seems to be a completely different type of compression. You can see it in the hair as well. It seems very clear that it is engaging in a kind of texture synthesis. So it seems to be looking at an are

Consider that a large majority of the revenue will come from businesses. Even $100 per month per employee will likely turn out to be quite reasonable, if it can make employees more productive by several hundred dollars per month.

My point is, railroads turned into a real thing. The demand was real and the general large-scale investment was justified. Just because some companies made bad decisions doesn't mean the railroad industry as a whole was some kind of mi

That's just a snarky way to describe all business investment that requires purchasing things made in the future. It's entirely normal. You could literally rewrite the quote to be about iron and about building railroads for trains

Scalpers will just add $1000 to the price of the ticket. And then you keep the $1000 that gets returned to you.

by crazygringo 5mo ago
Yeah but fan clubs and artist communities are trivial to join with just an email address. Scalpers can just have their accounts join them all. The point of a listening history is that it's so, so, so much more work to generate one that

A scalper just pretends to be 200 different people. With 200 different emails and 200 different credit cards. Limiting the number of tickets someone can buy doesn't protect against scalping.

I understand not wanting them to expand into playlists and audiobooks. But concert tickets, notifications, etc., seems like a no-brainer. That is firmly within the category of music.
108.
by crazygringo 5mo ago
Honestly, this could turn out to be a really great thing. When artists become popular, they often complain that the people they are making their music for, their biggest fans, tend to be the people least able to afford the concert tickets.

The author says "so almost everyone is going to have an existing Micro.blog account that they can delete from the web". The key word seems to be "almost". So it sounds like the app let you create accounts but not delete

I mean, a lot of these sound entirely reasonable. No way to report or block Micro.blog comments, the Sign In With Apple button didn't work, no way to delete an account you create. The way the author is trying to minimize these seems di

The AI answers provide tons of source links. At the end of the day, is it really all that different to provide a list of links, versus an answer or overview of a few paragraphs with links to lots of different higher-quality sources? I fol

I seriously wish there were a way to turn off access to contacts, for both autocorrect and dictation. It drives me nuts the number of times it misinterprets some common word as a name I have in my contacts.

That is absolutely a fair critique. In fact, more than fair, I would say. I'm not even defending it. I'm just describing the mainstream ethical foundation used today.

by crazygringo 5mo ago
Yes, that is absolutely the mainstream position. See John Rawls "A Theory of Justice" which is the basis for a lot of applied ethics today. And "sufficiently democratic" basically means freedom of political speech, adult

You misread me. I never said cheating is fine. I responded to someone who said that cheating is "obviously" bad, implying ratting out a friend is not. The only thing I've done is to say they're both bad, and that it&#x27

Yeah, those are exactly the differences. It's very easy to argue speeding is immoral: it's immoral to disobey any law or regulation passed by a democratically elected government if these is no other conflicting moral principle. So
