We've got LLMs now that can do that. Sorry, you've been replaced. Please gather your things into this box and cheer up.

We're sick of closed walled-garden monoliths like Reddit! Let's move to an open federated protocol where anyone can participate and the APIs can't be locked down!

...wait, not like that!

Yeah. This is what you signed up for when you joined the Fediverse, the ActivityPub protocol broadcasts your content to any other servers that ask for it. And just generally, that's how the Internet works. You're putting up a public billboard and expecting to be able to control who gets to look at it. That's not going to work. Even robots.txt is just a gentleman's agreement, it's not enforceable.

If you really want to prevent AI from training on your content with any degree of certainty you're probably looking for a private forum of some kind that's run by someone you trust.

His unwavering support for Israel during their campaign of atrocities is despicable and shameful.

If we're going to get Trump again it's in part because of the absolutely all-or-nothing brook-no-compromise attitude of voters. Like this, for example. Biden's support has not been unwavering, he's criticized Israel's actions. But not enough for you, and so he gets no credit whatsoever for any moderation he might have. And that's why you say he "feels like a Republican" to you, because someone can only be 100% totally on your side or they must be on the other side.

I'd love for there to be a viable fully-progressive candidate who happened to agree with everything I believe in. I'd also love to have a pet unicorn. When elections actually roll around in reality, though, none of the candidates are going to be perfect. And unfortunately in many first-past-the-post electorates the system is set up in such a way that there are only two viable candidates. So pick the one that's closest to your views. Push for better candidates in the primary, of course, but accept that you won't always get everything you want.

So now there's a NewNew Reddit? That IPO is getting ever closer, guess they'll be thrashing around all the harder in the lead up to that to try to show some kind of path to profitability.

Oh no, we may have to go back to an Internet where people posted web pages because they wanted to share information rather than to make a buck.

And so, once again, people discover the unsolvable dilemma of DRM.

You can't both publish your data where it can be seen by computers that are not under your control and somehow keep control of that data. Anything that purports to do so is either a temporary bandaid soon to be bypassed or nothing but placebo to begin with.

That's still enough to tank an IPO.

Ah, so that means the Auschwitz Museum is... checks notes anti-Semitic!

Makes sense.

I don't know, I like reminding everyone that he was a police officer when this sort of thing comes up.

There, that ought to solve the Israel/Palestine issue and prevent future conflict from happening again.

Every time there's a new technology, one of the first things that people will ask is "can I use this for sex in some manner?"

If the answer is "no", the new technology will probably not see widespread adoption.

This is not a new thing. I'm sure the notion "we could have more and better sex if the cave was kept warm by this new-fangled 'fire' thing while we do it" was instrumental to our rise as the dominant species on our planet.

Copyright law already allows generative AI systems to scrape the internet. You need to change the law to forbid something, it isn't forbidden by default. Currently, if something is published publicly then it can be read and learned from by anyone (or anything) that can see it. Copyright law only prevents making copies of it, which a large language model does not do when trained on it.
