You're not reading (the first sentence of) the report correctly. > By the 2000s, so much information was being generated worldwide that only a small fraction (0.5% in 2015) of the digital data generated was being analyzed at all. In

It's a messy gray area to be sure. Both parties want more reach and more revenue, so let's set those incentives aside. To me it seems that the worst accusation you can level at a news org like NYT is reaching for sensationalism an

It's disturbing to think of Tony Gilroy's film Nightcrawler as prophetic, but as I read this article, it was the first thing that came to mind.

If the only distinction you see between this and NYT content is medium and production style, I'm more curious to know how you personally define important journalism.

It seems a whole lot of confusion and grief could be avoided by making this about a more specific official certification/title rather than the co-opting of the single word.

They didn't say that companies should be profitable at a year in. To my mind they just seemed to be responding to the slightly clickbait-y title, which focuses on the valuation, which has some significance but is still pretty abstract.

jq has string interpolation too, so it can even get a little bit nicer: "<option value=\"/examples/\(.)/\">\(.)</option>"

Sure...it's right in the literal sense, but a better answer would add "but it does recommend eating a sandwich in Dolores Park on a sunny day as the 'best' thing to do, if not the most fun." It's the most corre

"Famously bad" is an opinion cloaked in adverbial authority. Plenty of people like both, and even if they don't like them, they think better in one vs the other.

Is the author really claiming that it's generative AI's fault that we're inured to awe-inspiring images? The internet killed our sense of awe with aggregators and algorithms. "Sort by popularity" killed it. It bec

You seem to me to be arguing against points no one is making. You're taking the word "trend" and extrapolating it to "fad" and "insidious activity" - both of which have very different meanings and connotat

Agree on the last point, it boggles the mind that someone thinks they're contributing something of value by mindlessly pasting in ChatGPT content. That said, sharing the output with others is not necessary to get value out of it. For e

Ugh totally, consumers and end users are such an inconvenient part of generating revenue.

I've prayed on this to Tlazolteotl, eater of sins, and have decided to disregard your comment as excessively meta.

by mpalmer 3y ago
Devil's (heh) advocate: the prayer itself matters and is a nice thought, but mentioning the recipient of the prayer makes it a soft pitch, which some might reasonably find unwelcome or awkward.

I agree with you that some reactions were a bit strong. But I reject that "pretending racism doesn't exist" is a good description of objections like mine above. In my view it's just as fair to say that taking your positi

No one said there was praise about the lack of windows. I said there are no positive comments from students quoted in that piece other than the guy who would feel trapped living there.

A valid citation that's completely unrelated to your assertion about criticism from architects. Can you cite any architects who support the design, other than the architect of record for the project?

Every student quote in that piece is either overt criticism, or qualified praise (“I personally would not want to live there,” he said. “I would feel trapped”). It does have positive quotes from a number of people on the UCSB payroll who wo

I'm not pretending anything like that. I assume good faith on the part of individuals (intentional word choice), because individuals are not systems or institutions and they really do tend to be decent and well-intentioned.
