   Paying for sync is my way of supporting the developers of this excellent application. The sync works well, it's less hassle, and more secure than using the usual cloud services, particularly for iOS and Android. Obsidian and Tailscale

   Now imagine that instead of an iPad, you've just bought a new house with fantastic materials and an integrated software system. Should the company that built it have the right to control how and who interacts with your house?

   If LLMs are soon to become AGIs they will have as much right to read copyright works as anyone else. Is a post scarcity world where parasitic rent seeking would be pointless something to wish for, or do we consider it harmful?

    So they want to align the AI with corporate goals. At least they're being honest here. I want a personal assistant to summarize a page, remove all advertising and do a fact check. Can we have that?

    In the light of the Google "moat" document, this would appear to a cynical attempt to monopolize the field before it gets going.

    So if movies use AI to help create characters they won't be able to claim copyright? I expect Hollywood studios will have something to say about this. With AI already being deeply integrated into DCC tools this stance isn't going

    I often wonder how much data they would have accumulated with Google Reader and Google Code that would now be a gold mine for training AI. Short sighted management!

    Google promised to index the world's information but ended up a noisy advertising platform that intrudes into all our lives. We sacrificed our privacy for the convenience of search, let's hope we don't have to for much longer

    Not sure that is strictly correct. I vaguely remember a command line browser early in the piece. The inline image ability and <img> tag came a bit later in the story when Andreessen put it into the NCSA's Mosaic browser. I&#x27

    So I've determined Einstein had the remarkable trait of mathematical and physical intuituon. Also Pavarotti had a remarkable ability to sing. Now all I have to do is copy them, sweet.
