So what privacy will I have to give up?

Actually I’m in Canada so I’m probably safe anyway.

I mean… I don’t watch porn so this doesn’t affect my anyway…

libraries letting people borrow books

This is so far from analogous that it’s almost a nonsequitur.

are you just a luddite?

No, and you don’t even believe such nonsense. You’re grasping, ineffectively.

I see they have a SFW requirement. And while my site is currently SFW, I won’t guarantee that it will remain so.

Still, it’s at least making me consider cutting out all the zurb-foundation stuff, since that’s the only JS I have, and the site is simple enough that it doesn’t really need it.

I love this.

I thought I was being “bare-bones” when I remade my website with PHP & XML (no framework or database). What would they think about a python app that delivers plaintext or html? Is that still kosher for the no-js gang? Or does it have to be static files?

used to train both commercial

commercial training is, in this case, stealing people’s work for commercial gain

and open source language models

so, uh, let us train open-source models on open-source text. There’s so much of it that there’s no need to steal.

I’m not sure why you added a question mark at the end of your statement.

How exactly does this benefit “us” ?

adding missing information

From where?

Is there a way for us to complain to wikipedia about this? I contribute money every year, and I will 100% stop if they’re stomping more LLM-slop down my throat.

If we need summaries, let’s let a human being write the summaries. We are already experts at writing. We love doing it.

I want to read his “Meaning of the City” because I just like City theory, but I keep postponing in case it’s just Christian morality lessons. The anarchist Christian angle makes this sound more interesting.

Are his books good for non-Christians too?

This time we’re cheering… but he’s correct, so the meme still works structurally.

aaaand out the window we go!

It’s not necessarily a 1:1 person-replacer. Instead you can squeeze a smaller number of employees to do more work. I suspect artists and animators are losing a lot of work. And we’re still in early days. Even if LLMs don’t improve much, our implementation will.

I read the post, but with this kind of title people actually should just skip the article and ridicule the clickbait title. Because it’s intentionally selling the opposite message of the actual post. And that opposite message is not worth reading in detail.

I still write my code in calligraphy.

I’ve been using bandcamp and normal music playing apps. Always hated Spotify.

I like the austere layout

I still use it sometimes.

Nice. Maybe now Microsoft will respond by offering non-subscription options inventing a new proprietary industry-standard file format so their bloated ransomware remains mandatory.
