If the cause of training LLMs is so noble then surely an opt in model would work, no?

With no benefit provided to the creator — they're not directing users out, they're pulling data in.

Website owners should be able to block this behavior as well — OpenAI has two different agents and doesn't obscure the agent when a user initiates a fetch.

How a user views a page isn't the same as a startup scraping the internet wholesale for financial gain.

Dissolve it and delete the data. Pass legislation to make similar ventures impossible going forward.

I hate everything about this. Curious how blocking OpenAI's TLDs at the DNS level will go.

Good. AI generated music is all absolutely awful.

It's marketed and sold as an oracle. The AGI crowd feels like a cult.

All commercial social apps will invariably devolve into utter garbage.

Fits well with the focus on investors over users I suppose.

We’ve used AirTags on trips with our kids and they work well. Our dogs have them on their collars too.

I don’t trust Google with our kids’ data (or our dogs, I guess) and they’ll probably discontinue this in a year.

"petty selfish ignorant people" is a pretty good description of the folks pushing AI at the moment.

Thanks mom

I’m working on filling out my arm and then on to some other ideas next. Suppose we’ll see.

It’s pre-alpha trash that’s worse than traditional search in every meaningful way.

Kudos to the artist at the Verge for the accompanying image — those are fingers AI would be proud of.

Ads

None of this is an improvement for users over the previous experience.

It went from search to making up utterly unusable dreck. It's not helpful, it's machine-generated nonsense that's more expensive to operate than search.

I'm glad he got paid. It was done in bad faith (much like the ScarJo case). He does allow for covers — Rod Stewart's Downtown Train cover paid for his swimming pool.

A truly convenient piece for a company so transparent and demonstrably trustworthy.

Convenient story for a company that's proven difficult to trust at every possible turn.

Or this simply discourages contributions for folks not wanting to volunteer effort to the gaping maw of yet another monolithic content vacuum/LLM.

That’s a lot of money for garbage.

No, but nobody is obligated to contribute to or support them either.

He appears to be a big fan of the opt out model of consent (when it suits him).

Steal everything they possibly can and hope they end up too big to kill. I sincerely hope they fail spectacularly.

Just the people we want in charge of, well, anything.

A solution in search of a problem that makes the existing solution worse. Kudos, Google.

Everything gets reduced to ads. None of this provides any values to end users.

I imagine this guy doesn’t do much real work himself.
