My point was that drawing arbitrary lines for what's legal isn't the new invention you acted like it was. This most recent comment has shifted the topic entirely, and I'm not going to address it because it's obviously ei

Sure, but I think that falls a bit short of what's really at play here. Advertising anything which tugs at our animal weaknesses is unreasonably manipulative. Images of food (especially marketing images, which are photos of inedible ob

That argument holds no water because the grifters aren't the source of this idea. I literally don't believe Altman at all; his public words don't inspire me to agree or disagree with them - just ignore them. But I also hold t

If the streaming platforms cared strongly about this problem they could have addressed it already, so I'm not confident they'll use LLMs effectively to do it without making the problem (or at least edge cases) even worse somehow.

Ok but if you're getting into tree-of-many-fruits and art-plant territory, it's no longer accessible to non-experts.

I don't see anything describing why someone would choose this over other options... Is it just, "This is the one made for Vue"?

Very good article. Can anyone more familiar with quantum physics confirm if the analogies and descriptions are mathematically sound? I didn't get the vibe that the author was uncareful. I know there are many reasons to be cautious, but

Yes, but also, we don't know where complex life began on earth. It probably wasn't in extreme cold, but who knows. Certain extreme environments may be more amenable to adaptation than to abiogenesis. There are still just many ma

I'd agree, but also note that plenty of remote jobs were and still are ad hoc. The difference is adults have more agency to improve their own situation even if their work doesn't make any concessions to the nature of fully remote
