Did you notice the examples were really old? Like late 1700s old? Now, imagine you have a wooden box of lead or pewter letter forms. They're small, heavy and backwards. You spend y…

Or they invested billions and it behooves them to generate justification for that investment at a time when everyone else is also building railroads, I mean data centers.

To your point about time, from beginning of the project to transcripts in markdown tagged with extra metadata was about 3 hours. That's LLM planning, building whisper.cpp twice and…

Not without DRM. It was easier to buy the audiobooks and use the analog loophole to get text. It's probably less accurate, but for what I'm doing it was fine. Names were the worst,…

I used Claude to build a complete data extraction pipeline for a popular current best seller book series: audiobook -> text (via whisper) -> local LLM (qwen) -> database. Not once …

The EU just mandated cell phones must have user replaceable batteries by 2027: https://www.cereport.eu/news/european-union/91054 So making this single use is kinda flying into the …

Yes. Took. As in: without permission. Didn't ask before hand, didn't provide a way to opt-out (although that would also be problematic), didn't ask for volunteers. Took.

Because AI companies basically took everything we ever wrote, drew, recorded, posted, or thought and turned it into a product with the power to lie, propagandize, and manipulate th…

I've been using DDG for years and it's at least as good as Google for most general use. I still keep it set as the default search engine. For some context sensitive searches where …

Yeah, that paperclip episode was where I stopped watching.

The cruelty is the point. They want people to leave so they can refuse to allow them back in. That's the goal. It's not more complicated than that.

LLMs, like Frankenstein's Monster, are blameless. They did not ask to be created nor did they participate in their own creation. Like Frankenstein stole the bodies of the dead and …

Dont forget to "--no-preserve-root"!

It's a monument style sculpture. The kind raised with public money. I think that carries part of the meaning with it versus graffiti or some other medium. It's also depicting the b…
