reject any AI-generated text in human-to-human communications, saying it's "a basic principle of respect"

I cannot agree more with this sentiment. It feels outright insulting to asked to read LLM output in a context where it is *supposed* to be human feedback. Tell me what you would have told the LLM to say, I can take it from there. I don't need you to LLM it up, because it will bury your point in a bunch of crap.

Could it provide useful info? Maybe, but I can do that myself if so. I want *your* thought on something, however incomplete it might be.

... thunderstorms. Much higher overpressure than high altitude sonic booms. We used to have an occasional XB-70 test flight pass over Seattle. No big deal. Of course, they usually operated near or above FL600.

Tests during that decade, including the Oklahoma City sonic boom experiments, found repeated booms broke windows, damaged property and generated thousands of public complaints.

Not so many complaints until grifters tried to collect compensation for thunderstorm damage. The FAA just denied the claims and they got pissed.

The dream is that the world is built for human limbs and the 'easiest' answer to claim the same versatility is to also have human limbs.

Stairs, cluttered terrain, a humble curb can all cause problems for the usually better answer of wheels.

The non-humanoid robots we already make those by the ton, and are, as one would predict, much more useful than human-like anatomy in their context. They however want to cover the underserved facet, banking hard on ML to make the humanoid design more viable while they traditionally are just infeasible to program.

Of course, that has proven a challenge, since the ML needs to instrument all the inputs and outputs of a human interaction system, and feeling is a huge part of human operation that cannot be instrumented. So they set people about trying to clumsily remote operate them in hopes of gaining training data, but it's low quality control and very low volume of data.

It's not about the copyright.

It sort of is. Microsoft is alleged to have built a "copyright-infringing supercomputer". Issues of fair use aside, that's the only law claimed to be broken. Or potentially broken. There is not yet a law on the books restricting the manufacture, ownership or use of of supercomputers. So that part is right out. If it's the potential use, then 3D printers are illegal, because ghost guns. Legal weed is prohibited due to DWIs. VHS recorders banned to prevent recording off the TV.

This last point may be the gist of NYTs complaint. Perhaps they want a royalty for each AI inference generated. Much as Sony wanted (but did not recieve) a fee per blank tape sold. Money-grubbing bastards. Stop rubbing your hands together like that.

The disconnect is the "promise" is that LLM brings expertise down to the masses. If AI is "too hard for Ford to get right", that dramatically undermines the messaging that drives the current expectations and levels of investment.

This is very much evidence that companies can't be as bullish as they might inclined to be, because whatever you may think of Ford, the typical company is probably worse.
