It's not really news.

The vendor being based in Israel is being highlighted to put a negative spin on it. Nothing has really changed however.

You can use the truth to make your enemies look bad, just by highlighting the undesirable aspects that haven't changed.

Aspiring writers are told one of the most important things to do to learn writing is, get this, read. Not instructional manuals, not tutorials, while those are absolutely encouraged, what they are told to do is read the types of books they want to write.

You know, so they can preprogram their neural structures on what the concepts are around structuring the types of books they want to write.

So yes, people train on books, novels, technical manuals , fiction, non-fiction.

Some of those people have didactic memories, they remember what they read in great detail and can unintentionally regurgitate that material in their own writing. It happens.

So when people say LLMs do things people don't, they usually just haven't met enough people.

Really? Exactly not what they should double down on.

"And that's before you consider that TikTok and Slashdot are not remotely similar in their impact on people. "

Quantify this. What is this "impact" on people, and how are you measuring it?

You can do that, right? Because if you can't you're just another moron talking about how video games and rock lyrics and D&D are corrupting the minds of our youth.

You are posting to a social media site which many of us started participating it when it started, when we were "children." Your bootlicking is pathetic.

As someone who has been accused, falsely, of cheating multiple times, it's inherently disheartening. There's no way to prove you didn't cheat, you can just deny it. There's accusation is enough in more serious ventures to end careers in some instances. Without proof.

I used to work with someone who had a side job at a publishing company, he had a lot of heartbreaking stories from authors who had lost their work when computers crashed and destroyed it. One was in the middle of a legal dispute over authorship as they had a business partner who had been involved. Copious notes were lost, and the remaining notes weren't sufficient to prove who wrote what or provide a strong amount of evidence for the ratio of work.

The one who did the most work? Never wrote again. The other guy? Found another writer to leach talent off of.

Writing, software development, etc, can be a job, or it can be a passion project. Being accused of cheating with a passion project will suck the fun out of it entirely.

Lobo wasn't it.

Seriously, I don't think the presentation of Lobo was on point at all. Not intimidating, a ridiculous Characature of the concept.

Good choice on actor, someone just fails to make a scene presence, and for that I blame the production.

Targeted markets. All in one solutions work best in government contracts, for example.

It always seems to happen when groups don't agree with someone politics. Weird. It almost never happens otherwise.

Them prematurely banning him in this instance proved his point.

"What is the point of having a job, when you can not live from the wage?"

Sometimes it's to buy textbooks, or make extra money on the side, or to earn money during the summer so you can spend it during the rest of the year.

It's myopic to assume that all jobs are supposed to be full-time careers.

I just want to be clear about this: you believe the American middle class is smaller/worse-off than it was in the early 1900s?

Another person who needs to read Bastiat.

Do you think it would help the middle class to bring back the requirement for people to walk in front of cars waving a lantern?

You'll understand if you think about it

Sure, but it'll be better when algae is not in the whitehouse.
