Comment Diversification (Score 4, Interesting) 26

Oh ok, so a Japanese toilet company also happens to make tools necessary for semiconductor production. I guess that's why these 100-year-old Japanese companies still exist. They're good at diversification.

> Electrostatic chucks ("e-chucks") provide the necessary stability and uniform clamping force to ensure accurate alignment and deposition of thin-film layers on glass substrates. With e-chucks, semiconductor manufacturers have a much easier time achieving their desired level of precision and uniformity.

It's true, but it's unprecedented in history. Usually an artist is inspired to create a novel work based on their lifetime of "training" accrued in their own fleshy neural net. In this case we can simulate that with generative AI and get a similar product, without the messy problems associated with maintaining (and paying) a fleshy brain. We've never been able to automate that before and the implications are terrifying. Stealing maybe isn't a good analogy, but it's certainly a licensing conundrum.

Given that a lot of creatives are usually not neurotypical, I wonder how long until they'll start "damaging" LLMs in certain ways to produce more interesting and "creative" results.

If it's capable of suffering then, ladies and gents, we've finally invented the electric monk. Put it to work supplicating every possible god.

But if your LLM starts to sound like Pinhead from Hellraiser, well, better put down your device and run.
