  • Maybe the difference is that Rhysider is doing journalism and Zitron is much more soapboxing. I’m hoping he gets the rants out of his system early (or maybe confines them to his blog where they’re more than welcome) if he’s going to continue doing interviews, because there are moments where he injects his own opinion after a guest answers and it’s a bit awkward. His interview with the Onion guy was great, but his interview with the SEO wizard was kinda painful at times, even though she had really interesting things to say.








  • Suppose Universal et al. gets a precedent-setting ruling and slays OpenAI. LOL, LMAO even, but then what? What’s to keep the current entertainment cartels from making deals with Microsoft or the husks of the AI companies to rev up their own (now) fully legal and licensed bullshit engines?

    I think it remains to be seen if you can train a base model without something as big as common crawl. A precedent that Universal needs to give you permission could also be a precedent that everyone must give you permission for you to scrape them.


  • I’ve been disappointed to see Doctrow’s reaction to the AI industry, to say the least. He’s spent so much time relentlessly campaigning against intellectual property that he apparently cannot imagine anything worse than intellectual property winning anything ever. I don’t think he’s a big picture guy, I think the internet just really likes him because at the end of the day he was popular on slashdot and he tells people that piracy is awesome.






  • Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my ray bans and everyone around me saw this augment. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one augmented reality. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW
