It's not likely you've actually gotten the opinion of the "majority of tech folks", just the most outspoken ones, and only in specific bubbles you belong to.

We're operating under a model where the owner of the copyright has already sold their work. And while it's within their rights to stipulate conditions of the sale, they did not do that, and fair use of the work as governed under

Making a digital copy of a physical book is fair use under every legal structure I am aware of. When you do it for a transformative purpose (turning it into an LLM model) it's certainly fair use. But more importantly, it's ethica

If you reproduce the material from a work you've purchased then of course you're in violation of copyright, but that's not what an LLM does (and when it does I already conceded it's in violation and should be stopped). A

It's abusive and wrong to try and prevent AI companies from using your works at all. The whole point of copyright is to ensure you're paid for your work. AI companies shouldn't pirate, but if they pay for your work, they shou

You genuinely read this ad and think there's something to be learned? If I take this concept seriously for a few seconds, it's one massive exercise in begging the question. The argument boils down to "notice when you do somet

You're presupposing that this blogvertisement ought not be considered profoundly stupid. What would my virtue garnish be if I wanted to think of this blatant attempt at shilling a book as a waste of digital space?

Sorry to be clear: I want to reinforce my belief that this ad you've posted is profoundly stupid. What would my virtue garnish be for that?

PayPal terrifies me; I would move off of their platform ASAP, or at least be ready to when they inevitably pull the "lock your account pending an investigation" move that kills so many new companies.

If you've been to one of these testing centers, you'd realize it's not easy to cheat, and the companies that run them take cheating seriously. The audacity of someone to cheat in that environment would be exceptionally high,

What is the human counterpart to an LLM? The article doesn't describe. And "LLM apologists" is so polemical it's hard to take seriously. We get it, you don't like GenAI. That's fine, but can we talk about it wi

Or maybe he could care less, but doesn't even bother to care less because caring less would exert effort and he doesn't care enough to exert any effort.

The "criticism" of a p-value was strange to me, because it's never taught to be an "end all" answer to a question, rather it's taught as a way of determining statistical significance. Every stats or economic an

No, eggs are not full of shit, PETA is. It's a hateful organization that does not give a flying fuck about animals, only about fundraising.

PETA is full of shit, to the point where you could probably safely take on the opposite of their position on any given issue and presume to be correct, generally.

I genuinely don't understand why the focus is on egg prices. Who out there is paying more than a total of $3-$5/month more in eggs? And no, even to the absolutely poorest among us, that's not a meaningful amount. Yes, egg pri

Aren't you actually arguing in favor of profit-driven behavior? You're not disagreeing with profit as a motivator, you're questioning if the 30,000 employees is the maximal way to achieve profit.

“Attacked” what does this even mean? The courts have zero power in the first place, and never have. The judiciary, all the way back to Marbury v. Madison, has had to rely on the assent from the other branches that its rulings matter.

There isn’t an enforcement arm of the Supreme Court. If you ever, at any point, thought the US Marshals mattered one iota in all of this, you completely misunderstood the role of the judiciary in the US government. Congress has the power of

This EO has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the courts or their interpretation of the law. This is entirely focused on aligning the executive branch, that’s it. This is the kind of confusion that comes with trusting a Reddit post i

The very day your colleagues and your own career are put under jeopardy is a day you will not be at your best. Chaos breeds error, and Trump’s treatment of federal employees is the very definition of chaos.

You could have done that without replying, and in my experience the folks who feel the need to announce their departure from a conversation are the ones who tend to be the trolls… Doubly so when the topic is race and the position is that ra

The point is that race is entirely made up (that's what a social construct is) and can change in an instant, so trying to lock it down by calling it a "White America" thing is wrong.
