According to the article, yes. I think demanding some kind of compensation from LLM companies is reasonable but this feels like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

A broken clock is right twice a day.

My theory is that reddit just doesn't make enough money to stay open without external funding, and as they started running out of that they desperately hired anyone they thought could make the company enough money to stay afloat.

And the dumbass ideas we keep seeing from them are the result of that. Anything to get a buck, no matter what it means to the user experience.

To a certain degree, yes...but I feel like Lemmy has a lot more posts with comments chiming in only to sound smart or contrary. It's super annoying, and I can't tell if it's better or worse than the constant in-jokes from reddit.

I wanted to write a clever, sarcastic reply to this, but I couldn't come up with anything.

Suffice it to say taxes are what fund society at large. Roads, schools, etc. If you lived on an isolated island without any access to the benefits of society, I'd say you have a point, but you're using the Internet, so...

"Don't sass me", eh? You their dad or something?

And that's a mighty bold claim you've made there. They're cheering on Hamas, are they? Mind linking the parts that say that? Cuz all I'm seeing is skepticism of Israel. Hardly the same thing. Don't make me bust out the definition of "false dichotomy", sport.

100% correct. The IRC channel I hang out in has a bot utilizing ChatGPT and it does a summary of the most recent conversations when someone joins.

Sometimes, it does a great job! It impresses me how well it's able to summarize multiple ongoing conversations in a succinct way.

...and often times, it gets shit quite wrong. Not the actual topics, those it's good at -- but it is outright terrible at correctly indicating who actually said what.

Granted this is all to be expected -- it's an LLM, not really AI.

Yes, but eyes and other sensory organs are passive observers. You can only see photons if they've already been reflected in your direction, and whether you're looking has no impact on if they are reflected or not.

Feels like a kind of "if a tree falls in a forest" scenario. Whether your eyes were in the way or not makes no difference.

proposed legislation that requires parental permission if a child wants to change their name or pronoun at school

In case anyone wants to know what the bill is actually doing.

Better than your chest and head.

To be fair, Adobe wasn't going to fix either of those problems.

Rightfully shitting on D. Sand-ass, but wrongfully drawing attention away from the current crisis in the Middle East.

For sure.

My fiancee's sister's old college roommate (yes, really) was recently asked by her landlord to take down a Mezuzah from outside her door. This item isn't pro-Israel or anything political at all -- it's similar to hanging a cross, as a Christian, it's a religious item.

I remember that one. It was a fantastic read...but IIRC it turned out to be fake.

False dichotomy. There are more options than "do nothing" and "force the evacuation of an entire populated area before bombing the entire region to the stone age". It doesn't take a political genius to see that.

Yes.

He's also pro-child abuse. No idea why anyone gives him a platform.

It's a first person puzzle game. You move around the world interacting with various elements, such as laser redirection, to obtain the keys needed to progress. There's an interesting story going on at the same time, which although I didn't find it super compelling, it was good enough to keep my attention to the end.

Or "illiberal", per JKR in that one podcast.
