When I next go to Ireland one of my goals will be to experience much more of the nature side of things. Benbulbin, Wicklow mountains, Macgillycuddy, etc. The Ring of Kerry and Cliffs of Moher were beautiful!

The difference is: I need to wear clothes but I dont need to wear all hand woven tshirts or jeans. So I will generally defer to the cheapest quality. But I dont need to buy a generated piece of text. Fiction books are ultimately a luxary item. I want certain things from it. Like humans making it.

I am not joking when I say this. Idiot techbro with no appreciation for art posts are over. Algorithm generated posts are so good. You just dont know yet cause they are 2-3 gens behind (so like last week) Corporate algorithm model 56.7.3 has solved personalized idiot techbro posts.

Can I just say: fuck you to those who submit generated crap to magazines clearly stating they dont want anything to do with that. Neil and the editors of all the other short fiction magazines are doing this primarily out of passion. Yet you liars and fraudsters make their efforts harder than ever.

so that's a complicated legal question but, more importantly, it's immaterial. a key question wrt fair use is "does this replace the market for the original?" if I upload a movie for free to YouTube, why would anyone pay Netflix to watch it? and gAI very much does this bsky.app/profile/doug...

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Why fascists love ai, llms, and automous systems: they have no morals or ethics. None of it doubts their demands or abuses. Same with the corporations selling to them.

Now, it seems, the demand to pass a course, since you have paid, has evolved further into an expectation that you will pass simply by going through the motions of taking exams and turning in papers-whether or not you have done the work yourself. So what’s all the fuss if you use artificial aids?

Theres already thousands of hours of new human created entertainment one can pick and choose from on any given day. What benefit is there for pushing out lesser quality generations by using llms? None but the ease and fake gratification for anyone to attempt at it.
