I hope they make papyrus the official font

Four episodes per month is a lot of work.

• Is it supposed to become a paid gig eventually?

• Does the company make any money? Like are you advertising or accepting paid subscriptions, or getting funding of any kind?

I think that’s called juice lol

sounds good though

What kind of tea did you get?

Now it can hold even more energy.

Give me a decent chunk of the company so I make proportional profits. Otherwise, no thanks.

On something like wikipedia I only want words that are written by humans, vouched for by individuals who are accountable for what they write.

If I want AI generated content I’ll go to an AI site.

Humans are good at writing. We literally invented it and we’re experts. I’ll stop using wikipedia if they turn into a slop heap.

I’d rather be waterboarded

You can also not use Google. I use duckduckgo and they let you turn off AI overview.

So what privacy will I have to give up?

Actually I’m in Canada so I’m probably safe anyway.

I mean… I don’t watch porn so this doesn’t affect my anyway…

libraries letting people borrow books

This is so far from analogous that it’s almost a nonsequitur.

are you just a luddite?

No, and you don’t even believe such nonsense. You’re grasping, ineffectively.

I love this.

I thought I was being “bare-bones” when I remade my website with PHP & XML (no framework or database). What would they think about a python app that delivers plaintext or html? Is that still kosher for the no-js gang? Or does it have to be static files?

used to train both commercial

commercial training is, in this case, stealing people’s work for commercial gain

and open source language models

so, uh, let us train open-source models on open-source text. There’s so much of it that there’s no need to steal.

?

I’m not sure why you added a question mark at the end of your statement.

How exactly does this benefit “us” ?

adding missing information

From where?

Is there a way for us to complain to wikipedia about this? I contribute money every year, and I will 100% stop if they’re stomping more LLM-slop down my throat.

If we need summaries, let’s let a human being write the summaries. We are already experts at writing. We love doing it.

I want to read his “Meaning of the City” because I just like City theory, but I keep postponing in case it’s just Christian morality lessons. The anarchist Christian angle makes this sound more interesting.

Are his books good for non-Christians too?
