It’s not just that it was generated, it’s that they argued in court, _and won_, that it was legal, giving every last predator a nigh-on unverifiable defence.

Wondering what it would look like if you allowed them to write scripts. You could throttle the number of clicks to make it interesting.

Pretty sure Gödel’s theorems imply the halting problem if you squint hard enough.

Pretty sure this is basically the plot to Tales of Arise.

Honestly, Picard asked a very relevant question to the modern age. What if our societal standards aren't what we thought they were, and we've just had rose-tinted glasses convincing ourselves otherwise. Of course, we never saw the

Look, I do not have a scooby if current AI models are conscious and I strongly suspect it’s a meaningless question, but sooner or later we will need to address whether or not a certain thing is or isn’t a person, and we’d better not screw i

C# dev here: it’s amazing how different this is from a Microsoft release. First off, Oracle are doing versions at approximately twice the cadence. But also, and I’m guessing this is a function of the much larger Java audience: things rarely

Indeed, with the best will in the world, nothing on X is that essential. XCancel is the only way I read it.

It is. And the reason for that is* surprising: the base knowledge corpus is clickbait internet articles. *not at all

A lot of people seem to be the Antichrist these days. I’d have though we’d get a lull after the millennium but it’s all the rage.

You’ve just described why people have a phone.

Not something I have strong opinions on, but probably something by Garmin. (Remember them? They’re still around and shockingly successful.) Check whether any device you’re looking at requires a subscription.

The problem is, health is easily the biggest thing in wearables. The problem for Apple is their health stuff isn’t up to snuff with their competitors.

Yes, but is it a load-bearing seam?

Whilst the objections you raise are valid, in the face of the country being destroyed if you don’t, the equation’s rather different. What does it matter if China is dominant if you’re better off living in the US?

I don’t think the post claims magical abilities. Just that most things are already crackable given public knowledge and LLMs can exploit those. Worse, that the rate at which we update security issues is too slow to keep up with “knowing abo

Problem with that is so few of them are repairable these days. Laptops just kind of fall apart over time.

Counterpoint: I basically get all of my jobs on there. Switching on the available for work sign is more effective than the bat signal. I work in a relatively niche and extremely demanding industry, which may contribute.

There’s a very simple reason that artists don’t worry about selling out anymore (a phenomenon that was much more widespread than just the early 90s): the music industry finally finished their project of extracting nearly all of the money. T

I think you're trying to uninvent tort law here.

Imagine your dog had a dog trainer and you didn’t know the dog had been trained to bite under those circumstances. You might have a case against the trainer.

I presume the chess image in the piece is AI generated because it makes no sense if you’re even vaguely familiar with the source material.

Such a frustrating game. Feels so big but it’s so insanely shallow. Mechanics abound, but they just don’t interact.

The elephant in the room here is that there are no FLOSS LLMs. Renders most of the rest of this argument moot.

Always interesting to answer the question of who benefits from certain policies.

I'm particularly fond of "load-bearing seam", which it loves to use. It rather hilariously fails the "draw the metaphor" test.

So can you write GPL content using Claude? MIT? Because if this condition applies to the output, I don't see how it's compatible with FOSS.

I feel like we’re in a weird P=NP age, where after someone finds an issue, someone points out a cheaper way to find the same issue, which inevitably involves knowing the issue is there in the first place and it’s approximate location.

It’s easy to forget now that Netflix Original used to be a marker of quality. Losing Holland was an unforced error.
