You wouldn't call someone who puts food in a microwave a chef, would you? And you wouldn't say that putting food in the microwave is the same thing as cooking a Michelin star meal. These are different things.

No, you can’t. Just because you can pull the lever on an LLM enough times and get something that works doesn’t mean you’ve done the work. Doing the work implies learning and transferable skills, none of which you get by prompting an LLM.

Not sure what you mean - capitalists famously hate paying for labor.

What about it is insecure with regards to exposing it to the internet?

Yeah, well, some of us aren’t uninterested, cynical losers only in it for the money.

This reads like a Dr. Breen speech. Jesus wept.

I haven't looked into the actual code fix, but given the "reset" name I have to think it has to do with SQLite "thinking" it has copied more pages than it actually did. i.e. The checkpoint starts, and a write hits a

This is also true, but we’ve seen the problems with that idea put on display pretty prominently, lately.

You realize the law can just make shit up, right? It’s very easy to make a law that says “ALPR data needs a warrant” without impacting the ability of people to record in public. You just need to clearly define ALPR, which isn’t hard.

I was just thinking yesterday that it might actually be worse than nuclear weapons. Both in terms of likelihood to destroy all of humanity and in terms of “how did nobody working on this see that this was an obviously horrifying idea”

Arguing is being generous, lol.

It does, actually - people are alive and computers aren’t. In case you forgot.

> Argue with the content I am. It sounds like it was written by an LLM. That's synonymous with uninteresting and derivative. BTW, likening not wanting to read LLM output to racism is possibly one of the funniest things I've eve

You’re right. The content sucks, because it was created with an LLM.

Whatever, man. Enjoy whatever definition of bias you've constructed that always leaves you with a way to feel superior.

So nobody can report facts if it makes the subject of an article look bad (or good)? This idea of unbiased reporting that you have is ridiculous. This isn't a court of law, and not everything needs to rise to that standard. If you want

This is being needlessly pedantic. Disdain for the rights of other people does not start and end at literal written regulations. And yeah, on some level it's not strictly relevant to the exact legal question being discussed, but part o

Hardly irrelevant. The purpose is establishing a pattern of abusive behavior so this can't be dismissed as a "misunderstanding".

Here’s an idea: some suit in an office somewhere doesn’t get to dictate how I engage with art. My moral obligation ends where the people who made the movie get paid.

Hah, you know they feel threatened when capitalists have to whip out the classist insults.

I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Look past the VC tech blog shine everyone puts on their comments here and you’ll find it’s just as bad as Reddit, if not worse.

Because it scales directly off of the only thing that lots of businesses bring to the table: capital. AI doesn’t need expertise, the nurturing of a company culture, or any of the hard to quantify things that make humanity worthwhile and goo
