but you completely miss the scales,

I don’t. I see no reason to believe that machines use more energy than humans while achieving comparable results.

I am an engineer, not a priest. I don’t understand this terminology.

People learn in the same way

the waste of water, waste of energy,

People consume that too. Even while not working.

Human specialists also let other people stop being specialists. When did specialisation become the norm? In the early paleolith? Earlier?

Why should we care about the tools they use? Results are important.

Pay attention to Godot: very low entry requirements to the user, but still it is a universal engine that does not limit you in what you’re writing.

Bn? Bananas? I can pay 75 bananas for Warner.

This isn’t about data analysis or any other if the creative scientific applications of this technology.

But this is the only thing that matters. Who cares how people who don’t know, care or capable of using some technology are actually using it? Ammonium nitrate is poisonous if you try to salt a soup with it, but it makes miracles in the hands of those who know how to use it (if you like analogies)

Cause that’s the version they keep trying to sell to the public.

I am not a lawyer, but I think that even in the USA it isn’t mandatory to buy everything that corporations sell.

Modern LLMs are very useful tools. Just some people try to smalltalk with it for some reason. Their right. Salting soup with nitrates is also their right.

It isn’t – it is a completely populist comparison that can’t be used as a meaningful argument.

CEOs work by this very same principle: say what people want to hear, making their beliefs even stronger and thus increasing their craving to hear that statement again. Repeat until something breaks.

Thanks for the explanation. I know nothing about the industry, and from the outside it really looked like they just wanted to save a few bucks on the moderators and stopped receiving videos from any sources except for a few they know well. I had no idea that they buy studios en masse.

Monopolies (especially monopolies of something that isn’t totally unavoidable and necessary) never end well. And it is good.

Pornhub became boring as fuck. It looks like (not sure how it really is) they now host videos only from a dozen studios and the lack of diversity shows. Additional limits will kill it.

Books… doing what? Expire?

Be careful: the last thing we need here is a stack overflow.

Wishful thinking :)

The result is nice and cool. It is the level of modern journalism that is disturbing.
