Everyone is a tester. Anyone who says otherwise is from Venus or Mars.

At least once a day I’m behind a human driver that does the phantom brake thing.

Sounds like you’re left with almost no modern conveniences or technology. I don’t mean this disparagingly, but I am curious how you live your life and ensure you are truly not using any of these companies or their subsidiaries, or even those shitlist companies if they are a white box supplier of someone else not on your list. Or even if a mom and pop shop down the street is using technologies, software, or appliances from one of these companies to run their local business…

Doesn’t seem possible in reality. Or at the very least seems like a full time job that would get really futile after a while.

I was actually sitting here not even thinking about ChatGPT or about Brazil. I was thinking about the metadata and algorithms on the internet that propped this story up and want me to be mad about it… or something. I don’t really know what I’m supposed to say about fucking Brazil having ChatfuckingGPT write their laws. Is this the thing I am supposed to care about this week?

Sometimes it’s more frustrating not knowing how they want me to feel about this stuff than it is to be constantly barraged by the outrageous posturing of the news.

This investment is taking longer than the myopic financial outlooks that traded companies possess. But the idea of autonomous cars is not flawed.

Probably replaced by Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

I save so much water since I started working from home.

Or just pick the first option, which is basically what this article is saying. I don’t want it running all the time.

And I agree with them. When I learn to paint or take a cool picture, I may learn and be inspired from copyright materials. No one asks successful artists to audit the training materials that inspired them. But start telling AI companies they must do that, and I guarantee the precedent will be set to go after a human for learning from them. Don’t you dare tell people who you were inspired from when you make it big in your craft.

When I pay AI companies for anything, it’s not a proxy for copyright material, it’s for a service they provide serving, processing, or training the model. We will still require artists and creative people, even if all they do is skillfully prompt an AI tool to render art. But doing only that will be banal and not the pinnacle of what can be achieved with AI-assisted art creation. Art will still require the toil and circumstance that it always has.

Restricting AI from training on copyright materials is a vain and pointless exercise, but one of many that are meant to bring us to fear and loathe AI. It is one of many fears that the powerful want us to adopt… This is a technology that can and will lift us all if we can stop fearing it. But if we can’t do that, it won’t simply go away… It will only be driven into the bowels of the rich and powerful, so that they alone will benefit from it.

All the shovel journalism out there has a very strong purpose… to scare us, so this great equalizer will not be open and free and accessible. Don’t let them do this.

So we want to try to make AI do something that no human can agree on the right way to handle these things? Guess the pendulum will swing wherever it goes and we’ll try to pin it somewhere.

I just can’t stand being pushed on something constantly. I don’t use Edge out of spite. I can be honest about that.

Thank you. I think it was overused even the moment it was used for its intended purpose. It feels really im14andthisisedgy to me.
