Does this have some use case that the Perseus Digital Library doesn't already serve?

Militaries aren't unconditionally good or just. There are, to put it mildly, valid criticisms of how the products of western arms manufacturers are used by legal militaries.

The headline is more ambitious, that's probably what they meant

Oh, you don't know what bigotry is.

That's pretty much how I use it for software too. I don't want it to make stuff for me. I do want it to unblock me when I feel stuck unraveling something arcane.

I didn't call that commenter an LLM, despite what I'd consider an embarrasing lack of mental model of what it means for a speculative fiction novel to age poorly. Who am I bigoted …

What are you talking about? Bigotry against a program that's literally incapable of understanding semantic meaning? To say "anticlanker" sounds like you hate LLMs, or do you approv…

I've often dreamed of and revisited this idea. I first started thinking of it seriously when I realized I was paying the same rent in February as in January despite a significantly…

Weirdly favored, if it is an LLM. Of course bad actors will be training them out of the obvious rhetorical tells, but a complete lack of semantic reasoning will fortunately always …

Actually this is a very interesting comment so I do want to continue to engage. Thanks for not rising to my tone, I suppose. > So you admitted that the public purse and what it is …

I do not think this pseudo-intellectual desire to ape art styles of the past is really very compatible with the soul of an artist. Artists make two things: what moves them, and wha…

You have the named displayed on your screen at the same time and you keep a straight face.

> I can confidently say that house is not music. Hey, this is really fucking stupid.

I have to assume that's intentional, lol

Rare is relative. Those changes all happened over much longer timescales and with far fewer species involved in a given ecosystem. It's not the same thing as what we're doing. You'…

This is absurd. Without human intervention, catastrophic boundary crossing by organisms is slow and rare. With humans, it happens at unsustainable scale. We all know what it looks …

Obscene is the right word because it's quite manageable in health terms, it just feels bad to you.

Aren't cities older than writing?

although it's true and funny that rich assholes often have terrible taste, it's important that criticism of pervert glasses doesn't make their ugliness load-bearing. what happens i…

> Not everything has to be a culture war front. This is seemingly spoken from an ignorant and insulated position. The victims of invasion don't get to decide whether or not they li…

The point about the UI affordances strikes me as very relevant. I find that the way I want to use LLMs in coding is not available. We have chatbots in a sidebar that will just gene…
