12tone @12tone.nebula.tv · 5hAbsolutely correct take. I'd even take it a step further and start applying penalties if they reject the first appeal. At that point you should have a human reviewer, and if they're making fraudulent claims, there should be consequences. 3763

They're playing a character, and when their real-life behavior doesn't match the character, that's not a reason to downplay the seriousness of their actions. It just means there are sides of them they didn't want you to see. 1665

12tone @12tone.nebula.tv · 04/10/2026The impact on the art form, to me, is that artists need time to practice and develop their craft, and the best way to do that has, historically, been grunt work in the music industry. Those commercial implications come at the cost of entry channels for the next generation of new, exciting musicians. 010

12tone @12tone.nebula.tv · 02/10/2026Assuming we mean LLMs/GenAI, the only answer that feels appropriate to me is when the paper is *about* those systems and they were used solely to identify/demonstrate the relevant behavior. Like, a paper about Suno has some obligation to have used Suno in the research process. Other than that, none. 0100
12tone @12tone.nebula.tv · 02/10/2026This feels like such a weird take (the quoted one, not yours) when you consider that the impetus was Dr. Emily Bender, a leading scholar in the area, politely refusing to accept a premise that had not been shown. 040

![Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.
