- Comment on OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material 10 months ago:
It was of no use whatsoever to programming or image generation or writing a few years ago. This thing has developed very quickly and will continue to. Give it 5 years and I think things will look very differently.

Literally every artist copies, it's how we all learn. The difference is that every artist out there does not have an enterprise-class-data-center-powerd-super-human ability to absorb <ALL THE ART> and then be able to spit out anything instantly. It still takes time and hard work and dedication. And through the years of hard work people put into learning how their heroes do X, Y, and Z, they develop a style of their own.
It's how artists cut their teeth and work their way into the profession. What you're welcoming in is a situation where nobody can find any success whatsoever until they are absolutely original and of course that is an impossible moving target when every original ideal and design and image can just be instantly siphoned back up into the AI model.
Nobody could survive that way. Nobody can break into the artistic industry that way. All the low level work people get earlier in their careers is gone now. You have to be independently wealthy to become a high level artist capable of creating truly original work. Because there's no other way to subsidize the time and dedication that takes when all the work for people honing their craft has been hoovered up by machines.

I most disagree (especially on the long term), but hope you're right

At the same time the LLM will be used to replace (at least some of ) the people who created those works in the first place.
This right here is the core of the moral issue when it comes down to it, as far as I'm concerned. These text and image models are already killing jobs and applying downward pressure on salaries. I've seen it happen first hand multiple times now, not just anecdotally from some rando on an internet comment section.
These people losing jobs and getting pay cuts are who created the content these models are siphoning up. People are not going to like how this pans out.

BRB, taking my ruby red kiwi experience to the next level
- Comment on They now put ads in cigarettes 11 months ago:
Yeah they have stuff like that here too. Some are pretty tame like someone in a hospital bed and others are like legit photos of cancer like your example.
- Comment on They now put ads in cigarettes 11 months ago:
Yeah the opposite was true for me. Vaping definitely was less effective because it gives you that instant hit which is a big component of the addictiveness of nicotine.
Glad it worked for you though. It's a terrible habit.
- Comment on They now put ads in cigarettes 11 months ago:
I doubt that. Where approximately is that?
- Comment on They now put ads in cigarettes 11 months ago:
Yeah same here, all the boxes are the same with a small line of text with the brand and "flavor" or whatever
- Comment on They now put ads in cigarettes 11 months ago:
Gum and patches really do work if you give it an honest try. I'm speaking from experience.
- Comment on They now put ads in cigarettes 11 months ago:
Nah cigarettes in the EU all have pictures of gross stuff on them like this. Canada too, IIRC but it's been a while since I was there.
- Comment on Are shops in the US usually this run down looking? 11 months ago:
Also the implication that countries outside the US don't have dumpy stores is laughable. Europe's got plenty of stuff like this, just usually not as large. Here in the Netherlands we have shops like Action and grocery stores like Lidl and they're a shitshow inside most of the time.

Yeah but then multiply that by every video file in every Plex library in the world that doesn't have SRTs already.
- Comment on Exciting news! The free API you were using is no more free! 1 year ago:
Seems like a huge waste of electricity
- Comment on My friend on social refuses to see how this is a pyramid scheme 1 year ago:
Imagine having to read 36 books that people stupid enough to participate in this would have chosen for you. Congrats! Here's 18 copies of The Secret and 18 copies of the bible.
- Comment on Instagram's monthly subscription 1 year ago:
I've just taken the app off my phone and use adblock when I'm on the desktop browser version. I still need social media to post my work out there (I get clients that way), but I don't need to look at it 100 times a day.
It's honestly been a big quality of life improvement to take all my social media off my phone. Been a month or two now and I really miss it a lot less than I thought I would and who knows how much time I'm saving.
- Comment on This Metacritic redesign is s... 1 year ago:
I really hate grid based displays of lists like this. Such an awful design pattern.
- Comment on Soaking in the worst air quality in the world 1 year ago:
Yeah I remember one year where it was so bad in Seattle you couldn't see across Elliott Bay in Seattle to view either Bainbridge Island or West Seattle. When a ferry or water taxi would get even like 1/3 of the way across the water it disappeared into white space. The sun was blood red for 2 weeks. Just insanely creepy.
- Comment on Soaking in the worst air quality in the world 1 year ago:
Yeah seeing how people have reacted to some of the stuff that's started to happen with climate change and also the pandemic, I have less than zero faith in how humanity will rise to some of the coming challenges. Negative faith.
- Comment on Soaking in the worst air quality in the world 1 year ago:
Yeah honestly as someone who lived through a lot of smoke in the PNW, I was in a weird way kinda glad the east coast was getting a solid piece of it earlier this year. More people need to know what the fuck going on and they're way too frequently spared from it over there.
When it's bad it's like apocalyptic bad, people don't understand.
- Comment on Coming to you soon... 1 year ago:
I am also in the Netherlands using uBlock Origin and Firefox and am not getting it. So my best guess is they're doing A/B testing and people are being randomly selected to see how they'll respond to something like this.
- Comment on Coming to you soon... 1 year ago:
They may be doing this in some countries and not others or just A/B testing users based on some random allocation of accounts.
I would not be surprised if Google wants to understand how effective something like this is in terms of getting people to disable adblock vs them just being like "welp fuck YouTube I guess"
- Comment on I just can't stop myself 1 year ago:
you should just close the window and never open it again
