Yes, I intentionally included an extreme example to highlight my point. However, that was not the only example included. Would you like to respond to my whole comment or just that single cherry-picked sentence?

These slippery slope comments always seem a little naive to me because they imply there is some pure way to handle moderation. In practice, you have to be an extremist to think literally no content should be removed from Youtube with the m

I don't know how you interpreted my comment about art being undervalued as me undervaluing coding, but it is the wrong interpretation of what I said.

I don't see that as a distinction worth making. Commercial art is still art. Music, for example, is an incredibly commercialized art. Replacing every song or album I have ever purchased with AI generated facsimiles is also an incredib

Whole libraries have been written over millennia about the importance and purpose of art, and that specific quote reduced it all down to nothing more than the creation of a product with a specific and mundane function as part of some other

I honestly have no idea whether you are right or whether that county supervisor has merit to what they said. That is why we need journalists to actually be people who want to seek truth and inform their audience of that truth rather than ju

Evangelical Christians are a huge voting block in the US and might be even more supportive of the current Israeli regime than the average Israeli. I wouldn’t necessarily conclude that Israel is controlling the American government as direct

It doesn’t, it shows something that appears to be intelligence. Although it isn’t surprising that people all in on LLMs might not see any distinction there.

Yes, that is why I used the word "speculate". If there is a 10% chance this data explodes in value by 100x, then we could have expected that someone would have paid close to 10x the cost (minus the NPV of that money). The fact t

That isn’t value created by the AI, it is valued bestowed on it by your insurance company. They could bestow that same value on a Google search or a call center worker in Southeast Asia and it would provide you the same value. The AI is ju
