Using SUVs are definitely worse for safety as well, and it does not require a huge overhaul of the transportation infrastructure, a few new technologies to be invented, replacing ~all the existing cars, etc. etc. But no-one takes the compar

You are dismissing this as "unhelpful negativity", but are not addressing in any way the obvious (and rather malicious, I would say) PR play that parent comment points out. This is exactly the message, and I for one welcome the an

Yeah but the money I receive is almost completely decoupled from the value I create. In fact, this can only reduce the value of my time since now my expertise is perceived to be commodified.

But if they do the work for me, then my time is less valuable. If my time is less valuable, I won't pay more to save more of my time.

Passing judgement on the schadenfreude aside, I don't think its a community moderator's responsibility to make sure the violator's attempts are cost-efficient.

I think the point is not difficulty but rather recklessness. I don't think other large players lack the ability or the deep pockets to do the same, but they might be lacking on the recklessness department for whatever reason. That reas

Seems correct. Weird thing is, every single piece of software that I use feels like it got shittier in the last couple of years. But I am not using more software. I mean their source codes might have gotten larger, but the count of tools&#x

There are other, more focused (also arguably better at explaining) videos on explaining how it works. Here is one: https://youtu.be/dxmxIsoV_Xo It took a while and several explanations for it to completely click for me. The

Unless you don't own the data centers yourself, you only get what they allow you you to. And those gatekeepers, lawyers and licencing agreements; while certainly not perfect, did let people monetize their intellectual work. Also, I thi

I think the problem will be with enforcement. To be honest I don't see any way to stop this kind of thing from happening. I predict the slow decline of open source projects, sadly.

I got the same impression as the parent post. Even if its not AI-generated, the text reads like a politician's speech at a lot of places. Talks a lot, says little. The idea itself was very cool, so I endured it. But it was not a pleasa

I mean sure it is fun to pick one company and hate it, but this is not the point being argued here. But the point here is that a few companies are outbidding everyone else, hoarding shittons of compute and putting it into their data centers

ah, so what you are saying is this: now you can buy your own specialized hardware, which is realistically produced and sold by a single company on earth, compete with ~3 of the largest multinational corporations to do so (consider the ram p

So you are saying now that you can bypass a lot of solutions offered by a mix of small/large providers by using a single solution from a huge provider, this is the opposite of a centralization of power?

Hmm. So OpenAI doesn't care about other people's terms, copyrights or any sort of IP; but they get to have their own terms.

I feel the same way. Yet people are using AI for therapy, listening to AI-written novels read by AI, gladly watching AI-made slop. There seems to be real actual demand for it. Feels like total insanity to me; but here we are and facts are f

I have a couple of friends working at Google. They don't care about this stuff at all. They seem to be completely bought into the "every man for himself" neoliberal worldview. My sample size is obviously small, but judging by

While your arguments are correct, I don't think they are relevant. Like, for example, the government could give me a few billion bucks and everything you said would still be correct. I would also spend it, etc. etc.

Yes, but the same logic doesn't fly for basically any other topic, since German public is very sensitive about their privacy. We need to protect the right to privacy at all costs. Unless if its for copyright enforcement. If it is for c

While it is completely absurd, I don't see why it would be non-enforceable. They can very well enforce it. Here is one way to do it: they could take a page out of google's Web Environment Integrity proposal and make it illegal to
