I can't speak to her specific observations, but a lot of Meetup events specify an age range of, roughly, 20 to somewhere between 30 and 40. I think most of them are implicitly (or explicitly) dating events, although there are group-int

Doing crap studies to argue from the authority of science has gradually eroded that authority. I don’t know that this study is crap, but it fits the pattern on the surface: “Correlate politically valuable thing A with biomarker B, observe t

If it's public domain, then no copyright is violated. I'm not talking about public-domain data; the G-G-GP specifically mentioned the possible legal interpretation that training on large amounts of publicly visible (but not public

Customers might reasonably believe you won’t be able to provide the advertised service if the price is infeasibly low.

No, that doesn’t follow at all. The argument is that either the training or the expression violated existing cooyrights through the making of unlicensed copies. It’s not based on open source licensing. Although OSS viral licensing may well

If someone can't even get an insurance quote, that is a very bad sign by itself that what they're proposing is already too risky.

Automotive repair products are oriented around business purchases and sales, so everything is expensive, and designed for professional repair of either lots of various customer vehicles or a managed fleet of vehicles.

Do you mean bail? The only thing bail does is get the defendant out of jail until the trial, and the only (Constitutional) reason to jail someone before trial is to make sure they show up. E.g. Elizabeth Holmes got out on bail, but just rec

It can be better than the status quo, but there will still be major newspapers running stories about the homeless being warehoused in lightless holes with bad bathroom access and no kitchens.

I get your point, but "losing interest" can also mean losing flow, because the user got interrupted for five seconds instead of instantly taking the next action in their mental plan. When apps have these kinds of interruptions all

It learned that if someone on the Internet says X, and someone else says Y, then usually the first person keeps saying X. The first person usually doesn’t admit fault if they discover that they’re wrong, they just go silent.

Reddit doesn’t care about hosting AI content as long as it engages people. The idea (probably wrong) was that Reddit didn’t want to give free unlimited access to the data to anyone training an AI.

Anecdotally, I disagree. I definitely feel more lonely when I’m in large groups and feel disconnected. If I’m alone, I’m not lonely unless I’m thinking about those large groups and my absence of connection - and I can even feel lonely if my

That’s very explicitly not the definition of “quality”.

That’s not legally true. I don’t even think it’s factually true.

I understand the sentiment, but I think plenty of people do in fact need to "settle", because they have unrealistic expectations and are very unlikely to get what they want.

Because it wasn't about ML. As I said, I believe Reddit was lying. But the ML story was at least plausible at the time.

I'm talking about deterring ML data harvesting, or at least getting a better price for it.

I don't think Reddit was telling the truth either. But AI developers/companies seem to almost universally believe they have fair-use rights to train their models on any data they can get their hands on, and a sufficiently expensiv

People are accustomed to ignoring the fine print as legal CYA with no real-world relevance. This is also why the product warnings that "The State of California considers this to cause cancer" are a joke and not a useful message.

No, because a typical safe-to-run browser extension is written in such a way that it can be examined to see what it does. AI-based tools can’t be analyzed based on their code, so the only way to make them safe is by limiting their capabilit

Normally when I generate content it’s from my brain and I can tell the difference between copying memorized content, re-expressing memorized content, and generating something original. How do I know what the LLM is doing?

Hanging it in your living room is in fact a copyright violation, just not one that Marvel is likely to legally pursue.
