Looks like the original artisanal pencil sharpener was David Rees, here's his short film from twelve years ago vimeo.com/60718161

I’m thinking Small Language Model + Whisper Speech-to-Text + RAG AI System that runs on an Inference Optimized Raspberry Pi 5. Let’s keep this implementation local and open 😉

"Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs," Bernie Sanders wrote Monday on X. "This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions."

LLMs don’t do photography, nor do they investigate, think, or create (controversial). The Guardian being paid by OpenAI doesn’t mean OpenAI will be replacing the human there. Journalists, photographers, graphic designers, etc. need funding. OpenAI needs content. It’s symbiotic.

Language models don’t produce the news; they consume it. Why can’t a language model be considered a content distribution channel for a mainstream newspaper? The current paradigm of tech companies pirating journalism is clearly broken, but why are you against a licensing model?

I’m interested in what you’re saying. I wonder if this is an inference based on previous comparable rule changes, or if this is just something that sounds reasonable. If it’s the former, then indie hackers and researchers beware. If it’s the latter, then I’d love to be directed to evidence.

Also, are we really going to pretend like corporations such as Google have the same legal treatment as everyone else. No way. As researchers or entrepreneurs, we should be aware that there are sharks in these waters and that we can’t afford a boat.

I’m no legal scholar, but I’m aware of several data scraping/fair use cases against Google, OpenAI and Github that are ongoing and related to training LLMs. The law hasn’t caught up to this problem yet, but we’ll probably know soon, and many other non-AI projects will probably be similarly impacted.

He gathered the data questionably, analyzed it privately, then sold the results. In the web scraping community we distinguish between gathering data for research and aggregate-level analysis and using the data for commercial gain. His site is a not-so-innocent bystander in the revolt against AI.

Bluesky skeets not being liked? Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I find utopian science fiction (which, despite the conflicts in Star Trek I’d still say is more utopian than not) to be way more fascinating than dystopian.
It can be easy to whip up stories of a bad future. It takes real imagination & effort to imagine how an advanced ethical society could succeed
