I am not sure what you mean by "this novel". It is a fundamental difference between all digital products (software, music, etc) and all other physical (non-digital rather) products. It doesn't have to be a novel difference to

You are almost right. As I say since the beginning of this ai circus, this is the equivalent of flipping mcdonalds burgers (no insult intended for those workers). It is a thing, and people buy and eat them. But high quality burgers made by

No the OP is right, we had a whole department vanish: translators. Half laid off and half absorbed to other roles. I am waiting for this to backfire eventually, but even if it does, it will still be cheaper to handle the backfire than emplo

I didn't see the guarding call a late-capitalism hellscape over the russian-ukrainian war nor the palestinian genocide, nor many other things. So it looks like "we" cant tackle multiple bad things at once. Just some. And just

Exactly that's the point. I never saw the guardian blaming capitalism for genocide or war or food poisoning or major issues that cause misery to humanity. So the criticism is empty and imo it only serves to catch the eye of the people

What are the rights things to criticize in your opinion? Also, asking out of ignorance, what things need to move forward? I thought wikipedia is a solved problem, the only work i would expect it to need is maintenance work, security patches

I can totally relate, very similar situation here. I am currently kind of an anti-AI black sheep in engineering department because I refuse to fully embrace the exponentials and give in to the vibes. I avoid burnout by simply switching off

"The rule of law" is the rule of the economic elites over the weak plebs. The "rule" is formed, shaped and ignored so they can have their way. Anything goes when you operate on the upper levels, we are not naive kids.

I'll let them (ai companies) figure it out while i keep coding manually. I'll wait for the day they will release a js library to programmatically do all this llm context juggling, instead of using a UI, and then I will adopt it by

When ordered to do something that is clearly an illegal action, you can just say no. However, in most situations your actions won't be directly illegal, but aid someone else to illegal actions. Simply, deny to carry out the work UNLESS
