He's been writing about copyright etc at Techdirt since basically forever.
That's because it doesn't use AI...
Duh, my bad. I thought it was something like varifocals too.
Photochromic lenses were a nerd staple when I was a teenager. Dunno if/how popular they are now.
A couple of examples Srinivas gave on the podcast is “Who is Lex Fridman following that Elon Musk is also following,” or “what are the most recent tweets that were liked by both Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.”
Questions asked by the terminally deranged.
I guess the point is the dude won’t have lasik.

edit seems to be a whole bunch of similar ones.
I don't have any proof for this statement but I believe the LLM-minders keep track of whatever stupid shit bubbles up on the internets making fun of their babies and hardcode "solutions" to them in a game of whack-a-mole.
The Death of the Junior Developer
Steve Yegge goes hard into critihype, there's no need for any junior people anymore, all you need is a senior prompt engineer. No word on what happens when the seniors retire or die off, guess we'll have AGI by then and it'll all work out. Also no word on how the legal profession will survive when all the senior prompt engineer's time is spend rewriting increasingly meaningless LLM responses as the training corpus inevitably degenerates from slurm contamination.
Some idiot in another forum opined that LLMs haven't solved climate change "yet". Sure, bud.
"Hello helpdesk? My fleet of humanoid workers I paid 500k for apiece aren't at their workstations churning out fabric piecework, they're all playing Candy Crush on their iPhones..."

So true, Wikipedia.
Finally. I'm part of the Cool Gang.
Your effortpost is appreciated.
I remember having this sort of conversation 20 years ago, and it didn't convince me then.
Me asserting copyright means I can express myself however I want, and Nazis can get their images from Unsplash or make it themselves. There's no risk of complicity on my part.
I only saw it because I follow him on Masto.
Fedi is weird.
I happen to copyright my output (obviously not here or in other comments). The question I ask myself is: would I be ok if a Nazi organization used my photos in their propaganda? I'm not ok with that, so I like to retain control over who can use my stuff. If someone acceptable were to ask me, I'd let them use my work without compensation.
“The problem with AI is the people who use AI. They don't respect the written word,” the founder of Bards and Sages said.
> “It is soulless. There is no personality to it. There is no voice. Read a bunch of dialogue in an AI generated story and all the dialogue reads the same. No character personality comes through,” she said. Generated text also tends to lack a strong sense of place, she’s observed; the settings of the stories are either overly-detailed for popular locations, or too vague, because large language models can’t imagine new worlds and can only draw from existing works that have been scraped into its training data.
