If I have to interact with this or a similar system to do business with you, if possible, I will simply stop doing business with you.

Sure! I agree with the comment's point as I understand it, but I don't think that point is counter to what the linked article means to convey. I think the article's intended point is that, for most people in rich countries, r

TFA does not say that it is impossible to make better choices, but also, you cannot "better choices" yourself out of complicity with poor labor practices in colonized nations or environmental damage from farms and oil; not entirel

I think TFA's point is that one cannot completely abstain from food or clothes (or, in many places, at least some tech) without suffering very severe consequences, so it is unreasonable to expect this behavior. Not so AI, at least for

The government issues a lot of money to pay for the war but doesn't tend to increase taxes enough to make up for it, so inflation is high.

Yeah. Unfortunately the people running the estate today appear to share ~none of the late Professor's values.

This headline is misleading. The California law requires that the OS store and provide the age bracket. It does not require that any verification take place. I am not arguing that this is a good idea, but it is simply false that the law req

Thanks for responding, Brian. While I don't agree with a lot of decisions Bluesky and the broader ATProto community have made, I am very excited that progress towards real decentralization is happening; Blacksky's app view, for in

I don't care that AI development is more fun for the author. I wouldn't care if all the evidence pointed toward AI development being easier, faster, and less perilous. The externalities, at present, are unacceptable. We are restr

Do you think that the use of a hammer is an innate skill, and that woodworkers learn nothing from their craft?

You - and many other commentors in this thread - misunderstand the legal theory under which AI companies operate. In their view, training their models is allowed under fair use, which means it does not trigger copyright-based licenses at al

I mean, I'll probably ditch the LLM - after all, it's open source so I can just build my own app to receive the messages - but it seems like a neat bit of kit.

How can you possibly define "native Brit" in a way that includes, say, Saxons, but excludes West Africans who immigrated in the 1200s, without simply saying "people with light skin"? Or is 1066 your cutoff? Why?

There have been people of West African descent in England since the early medieval period.

Why do AI companies get to do whatever they want in order to meet their business goals ("liftoff")?

Because a lot of people who are not white are born in Britain, making them native Brits?

Right, that's exactly my point; Bluesky provides a centralized alternative to using your own domain name. (And moving from a did:plc to something decentralized is no easier than moving from mastodon.social or similar large instance t

How come ActivityPub gets shit for making people pick a server, but nobody complains about the mythical "average user" who is supposedly incapable of figuring anything out on their own when ATProto services ask them to understand
