I'll start simply: There is no ethical use of LLMs. I mean that in both the same sentiment as "no ethical consumption under capitalism" but also deeper and more. The ills and harms are on the surface. The theft was blatant. The attempted wage theft was also blatant.

In my experience, there are a lot of people who don't submit to the arXiv until their paper is accepted. And here is how that can screw early career researchers: When I was a NASA postdoc, one of my officemates came in one day and started packing. A PhD student. We thought she had finished. NOPE!

I'm considering starting up a new photo blog, but I don't want to publish images that AI is going to ingest. What's a good solution? I'm never going to use captchas. Perhaps a password? But how to get that out to real people? And how would that work with RSS?

Everyone is always like “oh Dracula is so bad, oh Dracula is so weird and horny, Dracula bit my dad” but Dracula also has times when he’s just at his house for 200 years bothering no one so maybe chill out

hello im the CEO and i can’t do anything without the support of the simpering vizier that lives in the computer. in order to keep collecting an offensively meager paycheck you too must consult the vizier regularly. don’t worry he has lots of uses other than just hopefully putting you out of a job

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Others have said it previously, but I love how this promotional image from the 1990 Stephen King's IT looks like a prestige drama courtroom show, that just so also happens to involve a clown.

All of the LLMs stole from me. Most of the big "A.i." billionaires are horrifying right wingers. Consumer-facing generative "A.i." "writing" and "art" tools deskill people, cheat kids out of real education, spread falsehoods and disinfo, and violate privacy. So no, I ain't using that shit.

say what you will about the myriad valid concerns with current LLMs but I personally will never get over the fact that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted to his literal death for downloading JSTOR and then a decade later, they downloaded & ingested the entire world and our IP laws just went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm giving a try. It's lacking some of the polish of a Tapbots app, but I'm tired of checking two social networks with various apps. I'm even cross-posting this which I normally hate. Just for science! I miss when you could tell what client made a post.

I’ve been enjoying Spider-Noir. I borrowed Spider-Man Noir (the comic book source material) from my library, and I’m put off by it being in color. And the flavor of 2000s-era “computerized” looking color. Is it worth sticking it out? Or is Nic Cage the only thing breathing life into that character?
