"Woah, I didn't realize they made a RWBY and Justice League crossover," you may say. And that's where I need to inform you that they made four of them.

In Bush era gestures at green tech, we briefly got excited about biodiesel. But in the US that meant corn, and experts got upset because corn biodiesel is negative EROI. I saw one person describe it as "a corn disposal method". In that sense, I posit Bitcoin and AI to be "compute disposal methods".

honestly re: reverse engineering it just kinda blows to see your fun hobby get completely blown up by AI shit and people who love the slop machine because it's faster. AI art and shit at least *most* people correctly loathe + shun it, but too many people think that code isn't similarly creative.

What is interesting is that there are various "settlements" by which creators of *some* types of work (e.g., books, but NOT computer software) can get a small check for being scraped by anthropic, but there is no way to say "you may not incorporate the things I made into your language model product"

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

Why genAI your food signs when you can express the human chaos in your own soul with beautifully janky writing. (Royal Egyptian food truck in Berkeley)
An image of the side of the food truck with walls of text reading:

MY RULES. MY WAYS
That's what earned me the bragging right
FEED ME
A) If you are Vegan/Vegetarian just say Veggie me up that is all. I will bring tears of joy to your eyes.
B) If you are Carnivore just say I am hungry and I want to have it all.
Listen up pre-cooked food is unfit for human consumption it should be piping hot freshly prepared, therefore you must tell me if you are allergic to any ingredient.
If you smoke herb weed that is it will satisfy you, big enough for a couple or two meals for
normal human being.

Was recently watching a West Wing episode from season 2 (about a decade pre-Citizens United) and they lamented that all of the spending on all of the races cost a total of $400 million (just under what Musk has already spent on this cycle).

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

reblog by aphony-cree

people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"

they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited

This is one reason why you shouldn’t upload work into LLMs during the peer review and grading processes. That work is confidential, and you have no right to share it without permission. You are taking someone’s intellectual property and giving it to the entire world without their consent.
