Crypto is a Ponzi scheme.

I'd much rather mentor a junior dev than fight with and review chaff from an LLM.

Another unnecessary piece of hardware.

I don't understand what this device does better than — say — any 5 year old smartphone.

I’ve yet to find its programming help useful. ChatGPT and Copilot routinely offer bad or outright incorrect advice.

Is it surprising that a company that thought a vehicle this absurd was a good idea to build would also suffer from quality control issues?

Pretty easy to block the DOM node with my adblocker.

It's been downhill in a lot of ways since Reagan's administration.

Appointing Lina Khan is one of the best things he's done.

There are many things I would categorize as miracles. The current AI product offerings don’t make the list.

The AI industry, bringing innovations to dogfooding.

These tools excel at sucking the soul out of creative work.

Sounds like terrible, generic power metal. I don't think we need it generated at scale. Nightwish sans what little made their work interesting.

If you lower the barriers to producing large volumes of garbage text it follows that you'll get more of it — who wants to read any of it, I don't know. AI generated text isn't interesting to read, the video isn't interesting to watch and the music is painfully boring.

Who wants to watch the video these models produce?

See, that's something I would buy.

Well, we know where OpenAI lands then.

I suppose in that case, let them keep wasting their time.

If they don't respect robots.txt then block them using a firewall or other server config. All of these companies are parasites.

I'm hoping for an opt out.

Oh certainly — bad behavior will continue until regulation is enacted. The whole data broker industry should be obliterated.

The data shouldn’t be a primary source of revenue and said business shouldn’t be viable.

Very much a case of asking for forgiveness rather than permission. I sincerely hope creators succeed and OpenAI fails.

Those benefits have yet to materialize.

They’ll find a problem to pretend it’s a solution for someday.

That's OpenAI's problem and the burden should be on them.

Google search is terrible because Google's stopped caring about search quality in favor of monetization. It doesn't mean an LLM can outperform a traditional search engine that cares about said quality.

It's a shiny toy — it'll yield worse answers. Much like Google's own AI.

We should be working to strengthen journalism as a practice. LLMs will do anything but.

It's not scraping, it's indexing and linking out to creators. LLMs are helping themselves to everything with no regard for content creators. They should be subject to copyright claims — I don't care if it destroys their business, they should've considered that at the outset. They didn't then and they don't care to now, they're simply greedy and looking to build something that benefits themselves and their investors with no regard for anyone they step on to do so.
