I'd disagree that a thing that might remix components into an output that doesn't actually work is doing the exact same task as a tool that correlates ingredients and then more or less flips through a stack of recipe cards to find the ones that have those.

“People use it” is one possible, if tautological, definition of useful. But by that definition, violence and extortion are useful.

I think one issue I’ve repeatedly seen in this discussion is the word “useful.” I think to you, that simply means “has any uses.” I think to a certain number of other people, it means “has uses that are worth its costs.” Can something the use of which is unethical be correctly called useful?

Yep. He argued a recipe website search that returns results based on ingredients is the same thing as an LLM inventing a recipe that may or may not work based on an ingredient list.

Superhero civilian supporting cast is more important to the long-term health of a superhero comic than cameos by other superheroes.

The edgy reinvention of a cute and positive character stopped being funny 40 years ago and should never be your best idea for the character.

Putting John Constantine back on the main DC earth with superheroes was a terrible idea and the series where he lives in Vertigo world are exponentially better.

Synergy with media adaptations of characters can have good and constructive effects on the comics version.
That being said the influence of the MCU on the comics has almost universally been negative.

They want someone to say "your anger is justified, it's fucked up to reduce people to their:
- expendability (Hunger Games)
- attractiveness (Uglies)
- main personality trait (Divergent)
- etc"
Whereas adults have been either angry or in denial about these for a WHILE, and want a break.

I see some folks in OP's thread saying people don't want dystopia because we're sliding into one, and I was *just* discussing this sentiment with another author. Imho *adults* want to escape dystopia. Teens, freshly aware of social inequality, want their resulting distress affirmed.

…of the doubt, to what extent has his unconscious bias impacted how he’s reviewed those judges?
Guess we have a new topic for the next meeting.
Guys, we really can do better.

I just had to do this. Do not say you can't afford covers. That is not an acceptable reason to steal and kill the planet. If I ever self publish and I can't afford a cover, I will take a photo and use that as the cover or leave it black. I no tolerance for you telling me you steal from my friends.

And I know that shit isn't manned.
There's still the loss of work and equipment; the indication this is a severe failure of safety practices, quality control, and redundant systems; and the ecological damage done every time one of these POS blow up.

If you don't feel like scouring my skyline for all the places I've talked about why encouraging profligate & uncritical use of "AI" in education & public life is is so so so very bad, you can read more on what makes this situation so dangerous & problematic here: afutureworththinkingabout.com?p=5899

Incredibly. The way I would have paused the session to figuratively nail him to the wall.

That is so, so, so much better of an autopilot thing to say than calling a woman honey in an argument
Like if you did that to me in a work context and then gave me this explanation I would think it was adorable and that you're a devoted spouse and father.
If you call me honey in an argument...

Yeah. The thing that worries me most is that these models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.
