The real answer to "which came first, the chicken or the egg" - a long line of chicken-like creatures hatched from an egg before the first ever chicken hatched from an egg. Why lead with this? There is a very long line of dopamin

The idea is: we could have / have had some ideal situation but some X comes later and ruins it. If we didn't have a strategy for X in the first place did we build the right thing? Should we go build another same-shaped thing also

I wish that those who support #2 looked a lot less like #3. For that matter, I wish those who were pro-AI were more strictly supportive of #1.

I so wish this were true. Put AI in the title, garner instant attention.

Yeh, I might have went overboard with the snark here. It seems even the line hinting that this was snarky was lost. If it helps, imagine the text more as a work of art than an instruction manual. Art matters.

Better the enemy you know than the one you do not. That false? And how is it we know as much about closed models as we do about the open ones?

It is, quite frankly, completely wrong that this man was arrested—if anything, by this line of reasoning, it should have been an artist instead—since AI, as we are told, merely makes copies of what hard-working human artists have already cr

Support continued development of AI in the open. Support use of local or small scale AI. Your usage, support, and attention matters.

Regulate so that you price out equal access to it. Small players can't afford cost of regulation. Then create a layer around that which all small players pay into so they can participate regardless of whether they do or not - something

There's a lot of detail lost when you collapse towards "everyone". Some portion of that set is not the same as the other part of it, but both make sounds. People get up in arms according to what seems acceptable to be complai

Why can't we have a system where this is baked in?

I think it’s important that systems like this exist, but getting them off the ground is non-trivial. We’ve been building something similar for image/video models for the past few months, and it’s made me think distribution might be the

It's unfortunate that we have so few words for where we are in history right now. AI is AI is AI to some. A lot gets lost in that collapse. Thanks for seeing it, though. It's very difficult to wave a flag to call people over wh

Hello. I'm Harrison. I wanted to be an artist when I grew up, but instead I became a software developer. Parascene is my first attempt at exploring "social network" and "doom scroll" or "endorphine" patt

My bad. I don't think it was you that set me off. I was just butt-hurt for getting my Herbert quote downvoted. Not your fault, I think. On a better day, I would have spoken with greater detail about why I think that fear is misplace

I can guess that you like this exercise and you seem to be adept at it. I can't help but think you are my kind of people in that regard. Kudos!

Love the color that a real life story adds, and yours definitely is colorful. Thanks for sharing. I moved recently. My hardware acquisition loop still has me in tangles. Where exactly am I going to put this retired enterprise-grade Dell

Do what you want. I take it that it's a crime around hear to encourage people to not be afraid so shame on me. It's a light-hearted reference to a quote from the Dune books/movies. I didn't mean it to invalidate your e

Public Schools. I think terror there is built as a feature, not a bug. So be afraid. But keep in mind, it may have always been this way. God bless those few cool teachers in each school who are aware of this and work to rescue a few who

So what? There's all kinds of things that didn't work in the past that at some point began to work. It wasn't someone who was primarily motivated by fear of the past that made it work the first time.

Fear is the mind killer.

Reading you, I was debating on loving kick in the rear. Can't really do that these days and some people react negatively to it. Sounds like you are reasonably self-aware though, so... Nobody can teach you to own and control you. But

OMG that manual. VIC-20 was my first code experience. I look back and cannot understand how 7 year-old me was patient enough to make a jumping jack guy appear on screen. Joy of Coding? Hell, no. I wanted to see if I could make it work.

+1 review the code Screw {some number}x. Such BS. Those who can, do. Those who can't, write and spread pseudo-intelligent brain worms. Reject!

My knee jerk is that there are quite a few people who can't or won't snowmobile when needed and ski when needed. That's where the analogy starts to break a bit. You can't mode switch between skis and snowmobile, but you
