    Yeah but the money I receive is almost completely decoupled from the value I create. In fact, this can only reduce the value of my time since now my expertise is perceived to be co…

    But if they do the work for me, then my time is less valuable. If my time is less valuable, I won't pay more to save more of my time.

    > AIslop is of higher quality than devslop on average. Is it? If by higher quality, you mean commenting properly, sticking to naming conventions etc. I can agree. But to me, AIslop…

    Passing judgement on the schadenfreude aside, I don't think its a community moderator's responsibility to make sure the violator's attempts are cost-efficient.

    I think the point is not difficulty but rather recklessness. I don't think other large players lack the ability or the deep pockets to do the same, but they might be lacking on the…

    Seems correct. Weird thing is, every single piece of software that I use feels like it got shittier in the last couple of years. But I am not using more software. I mean their sour…

    There are other, more focused (also arguably better at explaining) videos on explaining how it works. Here is one: https://youtu.be/dxmxIsoV_Xo It took a while and several explanat…

    I tend to view this as purely an optimization problem. Basically all aspects of traditional values, systems in place and the whole lifestyle, established mostly after the agricultu…

    Unless you don't own the data centers yourself, you only get what they allow you you to. And those gatekeepers, lawyers and licencing agreements; while certainly not perfect, did l…

    I think the problem will be with enforcement. To be honest I don't see any way to stop this kind of thing from happening. I predict the slow decline of open source projects, sadly.…

    I got the same impression as the parent post. Even if its not AI-generated, the text reads like a politician's speech at a lot of places. Talks a lot, says little. The idea itself …

    I mean sure it is fun to pick one company and hate it, but this is not the point being argued here. But the point here is that a few companies are outbidding everyone else, hoardin…

    ah, so what you are saying is this: now you can buy your own specialized hardware, which is realistically produced and sold by a single company on earth, compete with ~3 of the lar…

    So you are saying now that you can bypass a lot of solutions offered by a mix of small/large providers by using a single solution from a huge provider, this is the opposite of a ce…

    And I feel like the difference between, say; - Paying for a ticket/dvd/stream to see a Ghibli movie - Training a model on their work without compensating them, then enabling everyo…

    Hmm. So OpenAI doesn't care about other people's terms, copyrights or any sort of IP; but they get to have their own terms.

    I feel the same way. Yet people are using AI for therapy, listening to AI-written novels read by AI, gladly watching AI-made slop. There seems to be real actual demand for it. Feel…

    I have a couple of friends working at Google. They don't care about this stuff at all. They seem to be completely bought into the "every man for himself" neoliberal worldview. My s…

    While your arguments are correct, I don't think they are relevant. Like, for example, the government could give me a few billion bucks and everything you said would still be correc…
