…the only way this would have fought them was before the election, now they’re in the walls, that is palliative care.

But do they have “canaries” that allow the user to verify they are indeed doing that?

…but why? What do they gain from it?

Good, I was starting to think it was only China spying on everyone :D

need to be more creative with aliasing than “ls”

soo…is FORTRAN greek? Or phoenecian?

…but what if I pick the one with all the furries? :3

Now imagine Newton being shown quantum mechanics…🥲

Web 4.0: I can actually safely tip every dude who made a useful video/website 0.01 cents and neither side will have to pay any extra fees so it is actually worth to tip, it will just be p2p money using the processing power of the sender and the receiver without buttcoin vultures trying to fuck with it. That was what web 3.0 was supposed to have been 13 years ago, but between the technical limitations and those web3 shitasses’ greed, we’re left almost where we started…

Jumping spiders are the tigers of the mm scale. They jump and pounce, they stare at you and stalk their prey, they carefully plan their attack from a strategic vantage point, they are cute, furry and pettable…so long as you are at least twice as large.

This is not like reading a book from a library…unless you want to force the LLM to only train one book per day and keep no copies after that day.

The matter is not LLMs reproducing what they have learned, it is that they didn’t pay for the books they read, like people are supposed to do legally.

This is not about free use, this is about free access, which at the scale of an individual reading books is marketed as “piracy”…at the scale of reading all books known to man…it’s onmipiracy?

We need some kind of deal where commercial LLMs have to pay a rent to a fund that distributes that among creators or remain nonprofit, which is never gonnna happen, because it’ll be a bummer for all the grifters rushing into that industry.

Sometimes it leads me wildly astray when I do that, like a really bad tutor…but it is good if you want a refresher and can spot the bullshit on the side. It is good for spotting things that you didnt know before and can factcheck afterwards.

…but maybe other review papers and textbooks are still better…

they don’t need to, they just need to seize the ground PoPs and block ips to make it unusably slow.

Is that what they are trying to do? Push crap ads and try to kill adblock to get a little extra user share to pay for yet another subscription?

PS: let me add that I also watch TV and the balance between quality of content and ads and their placement is much better (yes, some countries are worse than others with this). I don’t know what they are doing in youtube ads, but it’s anti-human (not just the ads, but the design too: super slow loading, tricks you into clicking the wrong content). Like they don’t want you to “pay” by watching ads, they want to torture you until you subscribe, go away or get adblock.

The other day I visited youtube without any add-ons and concluded I’d rather do anything else than use youtube under those conditions.

Got it, don’t buy cars built after 2010.

Anybody know why google has a popup on every major website now? And more importantly, how to get rid of that without creating an account?
