(most) films and video games requires a bit of engagement from you.

They’re not very good at it, are they? :D

Russia on its quest to find something it can fight and win against.

Physicists are warry about splitting atoms; historians are warry about splitting Germany.

“And now, I’ll make these allegations disappear!”

Some people decided that they needed a buzzword for something that have absolutely nothing to do with the web, and they decided to use Web3.

Anything “web3” you can think of is a regular webservice, that have no technological difference with “web2” (whatever this was), and may or may not behind the scene communicate with some form of blockchain (which may or may not be a real one too).

That’s web3. And note that I didn’t even bother to go check what happens on the blockchain side, that is already so removed from the web it’s insulting people calls this web3.

Your first mistake was thinking the company training their models care. They’re actively lobbying for the right to say “fuck copyright when it benefits us!”.

Your second mistake is assuming training LLM blindly put everything in. There’s human filters, then there’s automated filters, then there’s the LLM itself that blur things out. I can’t tell about the last one, but the first two will easily strip such easy noise, the same way search engines very quickly became immune to random keyword spam two decades ago.

Note that I didn’t even care to see if it was useful in any way to add these little extra blurb, legally speaking. I doubt it would help, though. Service ToS and other regulatory body have probably more weight than that.

I would not do anything, claiming that I’m preventing myself from making the world a worst place.

Haha joking. I’ll start auditing open source project for free and improve the overall security of our whole infrastructure.

Kids don’t get addicted to sugar much if there isn’t much sugar intake occasion. I’m sure they checked the market and found that they could sell more sugar-based product later with this initial push.

I’d say for two reasons. First, laws are written by a bunch of old people (at least in the head) that love the stuff. Second, full prohibition does not work anyway.

Or stop promoting a system where the only way forward is always “more”, designed to leave a majority in the dust. Inflation is artificial, people getting more miserable by just not wanting to abide to that system is also artificial.

This is the main point : the breach of the trust we could have in state agencies and doctors. Hopefully the lesson stick this time.

Given what transpires about the US on the international news scene, I’m not sure putting that to a democratic vote would yield the result you expect, sadly.

Nobody in his sect is paying attention. The rest of the world is looking at this with anxiety.

If your only goal is that most people can live decently and reduce exploitation, abuse, and such, yeah, sure.

But if you just want to amass money, then, no.

A choice was made.

I did not know this was a competition where only one could “win”.

I remember when these were introduced on cigarette packs. For a while there was a trend of “collecting all the pics”, while other found a nice business in selling “cigarette pack holder” that would just mask the pictures. I’m not sure any of that was the initial goal.

I wonder how applying this to food would turn out, seeing that a fair share of people are well informed of the effect we have on the climate already but simply don’t care.

Far too many people seem to be itching to find an enemy, all so they can justify their desire for vindictive bloodlust.

Finding an enemy, anyone, to rally angry and hate-fueled people has been a solid political staple for at least the last decade or so. The only “new”-ish part is that a lot of people are dying as a direct result of that now.

Not much a hot take, more like the exact plan.
