Look, I think all the shit being ascribed to LLMs is absurd. As I’ve already said “shit.” “bullshit” feels redundant.

Going completely off the reservation, real people can harm you far more then LLMs. Admitting you fell for that is basically like saying you thought a stripper loved you.

I run the hed connected with the link when posting.

Is she an African or European swallow?

I stayed on Win2K for years after XP came out. It was rock-solid and didn’t attempt to tell me how to organize my files. This threw me into the unique position when programs started dropping support for the aging OS of opting for Vista. I couldn’t countenance the cartoonish XP interface, but I also needed a functioning OS.

Consider what the media feeds the masses, and it becomes far less confusing. Not everyone checks out TechDirt.

As an editor, I’m not going to point out the egregious error here.

I fail to understand how this is different from the status quo. Like, pure slop is ruled out, but it should have been in the first place.

Hey. Tone it down. If you want to play here, you play by our rules.

But, but … clutches pearls that would be socialism. We can’t expect our benevolent overlords to pay for crimes in a manner that would affect them. We reserve that for Jean Valjean.

I mean, seriously … you expect fucking Linux users to not immediately find a workaround?

Well, it’s not so much about parties but rather “donors” … which is to say, lobbyists who give not one whit whether there’s an R or D after the name if they can get what they want.

One of the designers I worked with my first year at the college paper went on to design the packaging for Zip and Jaz drives. It paid well enough that he was able to afford to buy a condo in San Diego in his early 20s.

From your instance, I’m guessing you have limited knowledge of the American political system. I don’t mean this as an insult; I couldn’t tell you a damn thing about CDU/CSU policies (AfD, of course, is easy to parse). The Democratic Party is just as captured as the Nazi one. It’s all corporate money, so the real difference between red states and blue states is politicians in blue states at least pretend to care for the working class.

There are also those who slam people for having negative opinions of AI. Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft’s AI group, called public criticism of the tech “mind-blowing,” Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says the negativity is hurting society, and Nadella has pleaded to move the conversation beyond “AI slop.”

Then stop serving us AI slop. Y’all get paid way too much to claim that your products aren’t what they are.

Hmm … so are we, possibly, in a bubble?

I’d make a vet appointment if anything impressed a cat.

“Sign up for Microsoft 365, or you’ll never see your grandma again.”

That’s the whole point of patents! If it’s obvious and you get to it first, and you can lawyer up, you can prevent others from doing the obvious.

I’m relatively certain that the junta would prefer all of us headless.

Ubuntu not required.

You’d be surprised how few websites actually require third-party JS. I’ve been using NoScript for years, and I’ll allow the first-party JS to read something, but the other 15 domains can go fuck themselves if I can’t read the article without totally opening up my computer to trackers.
