I feel like I'm in a constant race to flee enshittification : Used to use Cursor (it's still my only option at work), but then Musk bought it, and they instantly went in on hard-sell tactics. Switched to vscode + copilot + OpenRouter, but was getting concerned about API costs. Just yesterday I set up a Tencent TokenHub account with their Max package, which required that I switch off copilot if I wanted to be able to use some models like Kimi K3 (had a temperature=1.0 requirement, copilot doesn't let you set temperatures and hardcodes them to very low), so now it's vscode + Pi + TokenHub.

Sigh. Please don't make me move again...

(Not that Tencent is in any way "the good guys"... but they're also providing a very generic product)

No. I do know many members bitch about it in private. What is missing is widespread public condemnation.

Incidentally, I do not watch TV and your insinuation that I do just illustrates a problem on your side. I have better news sources.

That nicely sums it up. But, as is obvious again and again and in this comment section, a lot of people are too dumb to understand how things work and are too dumb to understand their lack of understanding.

As usual, you are without insight. "Training" and "learning" does not exist in machines. These terms are used as coarse analogs for those that do not understand the math. All that exists is data processing. Incidentally, that judges do not understand math or science is nothing new. Now, data processing that distills out the abstract parts is legal for copyrighted material. But we all know that LLMs will sometimes do literal reproduction and reproduce styles. And that is NOT legal.

As there is no "learning" in machines, copyright sees giving copyrighted material to machines as what it is: Data processing. Whether you have a right to do that depends on the algorithms used and the license you obtained.

A direct lie. That is not the case. AI was totally stagnant while they tried that. Modern AI approaches are NOT modelled on the little we know about human learning and thinking.

Nope. You have no clue how LLM training works. I do. It is NOT "learning". These words are used by analogy for those that do not understand the math.

You do not even understand what "truth" means. And while people like you like to claim otherwise, you have to go into open criminal territory to get your posting removed. Incidentally, you do not even know or understand the definition of censorship.

This is just some MAGA cultists assuring themselves that their lies are the literal truth. These people cannot be reached by rational argument.

That is a false dichotomy. You should be ashamed for openly pushing this type of lie.

You are wrong. Software engineers _implement_ these algorithms, the specifications for what the algorithms aim for come from other people. In fact, for a social network, selecting the algorithm aims is a CEO obligation.

You seem to not even have a basic understanding how these things work.

Kind of like Islam terrorism, when you think about it. A primary problem with Islam terrorism is that there is little pushback from the Islam community and quite a bit of open cheering for it. The Republicans seem to have sunk to the same abysmally low moral level now. And to think they were the party of conservative values like honor, integrity, decency. Now they are nothing but a hate-cult. A rapist, child rapist, pathological liar, serial scammer, wannabe dictator and generally really bad person as their leader fits that very well.

Speak for yourself. You have no right to speak, for example, for me. And I do not see that effect.

I really cannot understand how a person can be such an extreme failure as you are. Did your parents reject you or something like that?

There can not be a "political" debate with fascists or with unapologetic child rapists. If you are asking for one, you are in bed with evil. If you think these people have a legitimate place in society, you are in bed with evil.
