I’m not arguing that the IA is right or wrong here. The point more generally is that there’s an asymmetry in how people are thinking about these issues, and to highlight that asymmetry. If it turns out after various lawsuits shake out that

To me, the point isn’t that what the IA was doing was fair use, but that what LLMs are doing arguably is not . > In the AI use case, they're typically aiming not to output any significant part of the training data What they’ve ai

I get that. My point is that I’m uninterested in making it easier for LLM products to interact with my sites. I realize there may be products that may benefit from this. I was just agreeing with the sentiment that I want no part in it.

I was primarily agreeing with the sentiment that making it easier for companies to consume my work is a hard sell. I realize not all sites fall into this category.

That’s debatable. The end result is still potentially making your own content obsolete/unnecessary and these “open weight” models are still trained without the permission of creators (there are no true open source models at this point)

That’s really my primary issue. Google indexing my content and directing traffic to my site is one thing. But unlike search indexing, there is no exchange of value when these LLMs are trained on my content. We all collectively get nothing f

Appropriateness is orthogonal to sexualization though. Yes, context matters, but I fail to see anything about this particular context shift that is inherently sexual. It’s also worth pointing out that exposing your genitalia is in a differe

How and why does this make it a different matter? Photographs capture a moment in time. This moment occurred at a beach. It wasn’t sexual then, and it’s not sexual now. If someone manipulated the image to be explicit or presented it in an o

The issue is that this isn't how it plays out in practice for most people. It's extremely easy to accidentally get too blasted, and then the next time you're already coming from a place of higher tolerance, and before long, e

Please take this as well-intentioned feedback. #1 and #2 are really difficult to parse. A really carefully considered elevator pitch that distills the essence of your product into concrete use cases would go really far in helping people u

This has not been my experience at all. Onset is delayed and often unpredictably so (for me, 30 to 120 mins is the typical range). Actual effects vary based on what I’ve eaten, how much I ate, how recently I ate it. I’ve had edibles that di

Evolution is just a concept/idea that describes whatever is actually happening out there. It seems evolution is emergent given the physical ingredients and laws of nature, which points to some kind of inherent intelligence in the fabri

You seem to be concluding that because the problem is difficult if not impossible to fully solve, there’s nothing that can be done at all. You’re also suggesting that because something cannot be perfectly formalized, there’s no value in exp

Very real. My relationship with my parents is extremely complicated at best. Therapy is literally why I have a relationship with them at all. This is fairly common in the particular circle I grew up in (deeply religious and very conservativ

Critical in terms of the scientific method itself, sure. But the unfalsifiability of consciousness only points to the hardness of the problem and the current limitations of science, not the importance of understanding consciousness and its

There was a huge delta between what these systems could do. e.g. the Commodore 64 was an 8-bit 1 MHz processor vs. the 386's 32-bit 12-40MHz, could not run a full operating system, had 64 KB RAM vs. 1MB or more on the 386, etc. In term

The context matters a lot. Early PCs were released at a time when there wasn’t really anything else like these products. That early pricing reflected the creation of a brand new category. The Vision Pro is a remarkable piece of tech, but is

I see this a bit differently. It’s exactly because some tasks feel like a chore that I gravitate to tools that improve the experience. To me, keeping these tasks separate is just reinforcing the negative association those tasks have built u

This can still be overridden on each client system behind those routers, but this is also another good reason to avoid renting your modem/router. Products like NextDNS also provide a client app to simplify the process of overriding DNS

Yeah, I totally understand not wanting to deal with any extra support overhead of enabling the Mac app. But this also seems like harmful advice if someone is trying to grow their app user base. I'm far more likely to purchase iOS apps

This stood out to me as well. If you ask me to write a spec describing a piece of software, it’s going to come out very differently than a story about someone using that piece of software. A story is narrative. A contract is must be definit

Over the years I’ve noticed that I’m often operating in various “modes”. Some of this is related to depressive episodes, but often it’s just a more neutral ebb and flow. I’ll have a week where ideas are flowing and connections form easily.

The universe is not happy or sad. Six people missing and one person dead is not humorous. This is really just projecting human ideas of karma and retribution onto someone who is innocent according to the courts, and it's incredibly dis
