It's not likely you've actually gotten the opinion of the "majority of tech folks", just the most outspoken ones, and only in specific bubbles you belong to.

We're operating under a model where the owner of the copyright has already sold their work. And while it's within their rights to stipulate conditions of the sale, they did not do …

Making a digital copy of a physical book is fair use under every legal structure I am aware of. When you do it for a transformative purpose (turning it into an LLM model) it's cert…

If you reproduce the material from a work you've purchased then of course you're in violation of copyright, but that's not what an LLM does (and when it does I already conceded it'…

It's abusive and wrong to try and prevent AI companies from using your works at all. The whole point of copyright is to ensure you're paid for your work. AI companies shouldn't pir…

You genuinely read this ad and think there's something to be learned? If I take this concept seriously for a few seconds, it's one massive exercise in begging the question. The arg…

You're presupposing that this blogvertisement ought not be considered profoundly stupid. What would my virtue garnish be if I wanted to think of this blatant attempt at shilling a …

Sorry to be clear: I want to reinforce my belief that this ad you've posted is profoundly stupid. What would my virtue garnish be for that?

PayPal terrifies me; I would move off of their platform ASAP, or at least be ready to when they inevitably pull the "lock your account pending an investigation" move that kills so …

If you've been to one of these testing centers, you'd realize it's not easy to cheat, and the companies that run them take cheating seriously. The audacity of someone to cheat in t…

What is the human counterpart to an LLM? The article doesn't describe. And "LLM apologists" is so polemical it's hard to take seriously. We get it, you don't like GenAI. That's fin…

Or maybe he could care less, but doesn't even bother to care less because caring less would exert effort and he doesn't care enough to exert any effort.

The "criticism" of a p-value was strange to me, because it's never taught to be an "end all" answer to a question, rather it's taught as a way of determining statistical significan…

Yes, moving to a freshly 1.0 tool/library is often the best way to gain stability...

No, eggs are not full of shit, PETA is. It's a hateful organization that does not give a flying fuck about animals, only about fundraising.

PETA is full of shit, to the point where you could probably safely take on the opposite of their position on any given issue and presume to be correct, generally.

I genuinely don't understand why the focus is on egg prices. Who out there is paying more than a total of $3-$5/month more in eggs? And no, even to the absolutely poorest among us,…

Aren't you actually arguing in favor of profit-driven behavior? You're not disagreeing with profit as a motivator, you're questioning if the 30,000 employees is the maximal way to …

“Attacked” what does this even mean? The courts have zero power in the first place, and never have. The judiciary, all the way back to Marbury v. Madison, has had to rely on the as…

There isn’t an enforcement arm of the Supreme Court. If you ever, at any point, thought the US Marshals mattered one iota in all of this, you completely misunderstood the role of t…

This EO has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the courts or their interpretation of the law. This is entirely focused on aligning the executive branch, that’s it. This is th…
