Measuring value that way is precisely what “from a business perspective” means. Things can also be judged on artistic or technical merits, among many other perspectives.

There are downsides, it’s just that it’s the best move from a business perspective. That doesn’t make it the best move from any other angle.

Futures contracts were a mistake, god damn

Up until very recently I would have said definitely not, but we're talking about LLM scrapers, who knows how much they've got crammed into their context windows.

It’s not great, but you could add it to the body of a 429 response.

You mean plagiarized it?

Is this not belligerently ignoring the fact that this work is already done imperfectly? I can’t tell you how many serious errors I’ve caught in just a short time of automating the …

She’s not doing either. In that same conversation, she goes on to talk about how we don’t live in that world and can’t return there, and what the implications should be for policy.…

Wordcels discover category theory lol

We’re was autocorrected from where

In my own experience, the vast majority of people using this phrase ARE using it as a source of authority. People will ask me about things I am an actual expert in, and then when t…

I do not need people to lead on that. That’s precisely why leading on “I asked ChatGPT and it said…” makes me trust something less — the speaker is actively assigning responsibilit…

I see nobody here blaming tools and not people!

Something that really frustrates me about interacting with (some) people who use AI a lot is that they will often tell me things that start “I asked ChatGPT and it said…” stop it!!…
