Why do you need them "built in"? I'd much rather have as little as possible "built in" and more of these "features" as extensions/plug-ins.

Yeah, they're also trying to shut down the Mauna Loa Observatory that keeps that vital time series of atmospheric CO2 going.

Since when is creativity needed to create something? Or do you think clams are being creative when they create their shells? "Creation" and "Creativity" are different concepts, the fist is being responsible for a thing's existence, the later has to do with exploring the space of possible outcomes and finding something new.

I'd say humans are still the creators of these uncreative works.

You've got to consider broad trends for topics like this. You'll never be able to describe "everybody in a whole generation" as succeeding or failing and you'll always be able to find individual cases of success and failure.

So compared to the past, are more young people struggling with their careers or are more comfortable in them?

And while a pessimistic attitude doesn't help, I don't think it's the driving factor as much as a response.

Considering the state of search engines these days, that one is the least surprising, but also the one that's potentially most harmful.

I've been reading "The Dawn of Everything" by Graeber and Wengrow and it's basically a long list of things we thought we knew about prehistory and are finding out we were wrong now that we have better tools and fewer biases. It's always worthwhile to make sure the narratives we've made up actually align with hard evidence and alter them if they don't.

Funny you mention that, Netflix has the '79 Gundam compilation movies and some others (SEED, Hathaway movie), and they made a new CG mini series.
I guess Amazon out-bid them for GQuuuuuuX though, if that's even how those deals are made.

Neither do you apparently. I never mentioned machines at all, and they're irrelevant to the point I was making.

That's frankly ridiculous, copyright never gave control over who was allowed to read and analyze a book, only who prints it.

There is absolutely nothing in copyright law that protects that. In fact it's the whole point of reading a book in the first place.

I bet we'll just end up using more bots to filter out the annoying bots. Of course those making the filter-bots will also deploy spam-bots to make sure their filter-bots are valuable.

"Ah, so you're a waffle man!"

Why do they always take the worst ideas from sci-fi to make into reality.

Reminds me of how I've heard young people use "out of pocket" to mean wild or unpredictable, my guess is they no longer have the context of "pocket money" because their payments are all digital so they confuse it with "off the wall" and "out of the blue".

Just because you can make the LLM give an argument that a cabal of squirrels should be running a country doesn't mean the LLM should give that option equal weight when asked what systems could run a country.
