To folks upset about 1Password increasing their prices: 3M has got you covered -
Noam Chomsky is one of those people that some people will defend reflexively without even thinking.Are you willing to slap someone who is willfully ignorant? That's where a lot of us were last week. That seems to be the line where a lot of folks are switching their views. There are a lot of armchair sloths who just want to do what their neighbors are willing to allow them to be. You have to have someone else in the room willing to get angry, then the sloths start to look for what's expected of them. If they turn down the expectation you have to respond the way you train a dog to go on the paper. You have to shame them.

LLMs are spam generators.As a #PublicPolicy wonk I'm already remembering how different our common law legal systems have become in just three centuries. Over here they're still worried about the anti-porn #Censorship case where the #SupremeCourt refused to define what they were censoring. They famously said, "I know it when I see it," grumble grumble prurient use in commerce, harrumph typical opinion of ordinary firmness, followed by thirty years of chipping off corners without admitting they were sort of making shit up.

LLMs are spam generators.I'll let @cstross speak for themselves, but I really do see this as a "define your spam" situation. The same problem led to the crossbows/harquebus debate that led to the Pope banning crossbows but not firearms. The problem is that spam's a byword for low value material of any sort, slop or not, and the idea of high-quality advertising sounds like a waste of the technology. No person off the street will ever care how high quality your product propaganda is; the material is always worthless and unwanted. The Pope didn't hate all violence, he hated the idea of the serfs killing the upper class. When confronted with two ways to let peasants put holes in plate armor with minimal training they only banned the one that didn't tend to blow up and didn't require a synthesized chemical fuel. As the technologies both advanced war didn't stop, but soldiers stopped wearing armor and as a result eventually stopped fighting in tight formations. What we're going to see with L.L.M. is the technology being run by services that charge per question and licensing of systems that are capable of spitting out reliable answers.

Is that better?

LLMs are spam generators.I'm told Turing also thought 30% convincing was enough to be noteworthy, presumably because some humans barely pass that.

LLMs are spam generators.If you like, put another way, you're taking the "good guy with a gun" side of the argument.

I mean, feel free, but own it. Intelligent well-informed adults frequently take opposite sides in this.

Hey um."Time travel isn't impossible because the laws of physics make it impossible; we bend dimensions all the time. That's what gravity is. Time travel is impossible because there's matter in the past that's in your way, and you're dragging all the future matter with you."

@nazokiyoubinbou @Viss ExactlyThat's basically a Snapchat filter. Just wait a year. With the magical new Disney license, A.I. could make that possible.

@nazokiyoubinbou @Viss ExactlyI'd just attach each page as an 1100x850 monochrome .GIF named with the page numbers instead.

If they complain, put the images in a .ZIP and attach that instead.
