Hard disagree: LLM, sold as you're selling it, is a con. It is not a viable replacement for human beings over the long term. LLMs train on information that's created by human beings. There's zero incentive to create that content if LLMs will just gobble it up and sit between the end users and authors.

Be very clear on this: as we shift to LLMs being put in front of everything, the incentive to post answers to StackOverflow or Reddit, the incentive to post news, the incentive to post movie reviews, the incentive to blog, the incentive to write anything at all, tends to zero.

And that in turn means that, assuming this gets worse and we don't have those incentives back in place by, say, 2030, that LLMs will be based upon 2030s information.. in 2040, in 2050, etc.

That's just not sustainable or viable. It's not going to work.

And just to add insult to injury, LLMs are already being fed their own material. LLMs trawl the web looking for content, and an increasingly large amount of content is generated by LLMs. Nothing sane can come out of LLMs ingesting their own poop.

And YOU may be too short sighted to see that, but you can bet the fraudsters selling this technology are not. They will cash out eventually leaving the rest of us holding the bag.

China? China may do the same thing as well, but that's not going to mean they "beat us", it just means we'll all sink faster.

If I'm reading this correctly, this is to allow other services, eg YouTube "creators", to create their own AI slop based on Disney characters. So you can create a movie where Luke Skywalker battles Thanos with the help of Woody and Elsa using OpenAI's movie creation system. It'll be terrible, but you're now allowed to do it without suffering the wrath of the mouse. Just be warned you'll suffer the wrath of everyone else. Just Disney won't sue. Probably.

Perhaps you should look up "sarcasm" and figure out why I ended my comment in /s.

And FWIW, the current Opera has barely any relationship to the browser from 2004. It's a different code base, different people are behind it (it's a Chinese company now, no longer related in anything but corporate history to the Norwegian company, with development taking place in a variety of different countries.) Opera today is essentially another Chromium-based browser, as it's been since 2013 or so.

It's a shame, it was an innovative browser in its day. Now it's another AI slopfest.

It isn't OK for the Swiss to do it. Who is telling you that other than white supremacists?

Asylum treaties exist for a reason. And the Swiss will shoot themselves in the foot if they ban skills-based immigration as the world doesn't evenly distribute skills across it.

And, in classic fascist style, it's a dumb law that proffers a simplistic, wrong, answer to a complex question, designed to distract you from the inherent corruption of fascist leadership.

I can't even figure out the mentality needed to post this comment, let alone mod it up. Even the attempt to reframe the proposal leaves the proposal as ugly and racist. And since when was invading a country by military force and imposing your own government the same thing as joining it organically, either because it has a culture you love and believe would thrive in, or because you're escaping persecution?

What a horrific mentality you guys have. What truly horrible people you are. You're not even making an attempt to understand the issues you pontificate on, you just believe the world is divided into "races" that should, for reasons you can't explain, never mix, and must always be in competition with one another.

Jesus.

For Aldi, which uses Instacart, I assumed it was because there is no 'fee' for pickup, but they have to pay someone to shop for you. I consider the difference a convenience fee.

That said, by not shopping in store, I end up getting only what is on my list and end up paying FAR LESS than I would if I was wandering around.
