Friend in question here, happy to help answer any questions. The combination of RAG and the meta-analysis capabilities of LLMs make this a great use case actually :)

I'm afraid it's mostly unintended. You have to have seen this pattern to recognize it and stop/alter it's course

Unbelievable really

Too bad it's usually followed up by a brutally honest observation three minutes later that out of anyone else's mouth would be an insult. Gotta love them toddler years :)

One of my friends who works on music licensing in Netherlands made a good remark about this that made me think: licensing and getting paid for being the original creator is a thing only since 50's-60's last century, before that it wasn't a thing for the entirety of human history.

Question is how to know. If the authors just do it and don't tell anyone, it'll be hard to prove, especially a few years down the road. I think this will go the way of the cd/mp3/Spotify, there's an evolution coming that will be driven by need, it's just not clear yet what that will look like.

Pretty sure a human could write a book "Here's a summary of all the lessons I learned from John doe". It probably comes down to attribution and wording? Maybe?

I'm on my third and seem to have found a strange zen place I would have loved to have the first time around ;)

Toddler age is like you're at war with yourself while fighting a drunk belligerent mini-human. Just try to follow the same process everyday, even if it seems pointless at times. The things you do now shape the future.

Looks cool, will check it out. Needs a better name though :)

I mean I have had a paid cleaning help for 20 years with this reasoning: I can spend one hour of consulting and pay her a decent wage to do something I detest: cleaning our house. Everybody wins :)

Ben allang blij dat de trend die we vroeger hadden er niet zo veel meer is: 1 voor in de klas, een voor gezin, 1 voor sportclub, etc.

Haha, recognisable. Be careful though, you can justify a lot of costs that way, slippery sloap.

Ah sorry, thought you lived there. Just saw your picture on my timeline and it caught my attention. Next time!

Definitely go to the Chinese restaurants on opposing corners in Chinatown. The owners are in a fun competition for customers. t&k seafood is one of them, I forgot the other :)

Sure, but then where do you draw the line? Linux runs on warships, some of the most horrible content on the net is powered by a plethora of technology that is arguably doing a lot of good too. I don't have an answer by the way, struggled with this in the past.

They don't drive much additional monthly spend if the customer is already on AWS. It's the new businesses that they want to capture.

The funny bit: gen ai by itself isn't bringing AWS much $$. It's all the stuff you also need (data and computer) which gets them your AWS spend. I spent years running an AWS consulting partner, neither partners nor AWS sales reps are super interested in the gen ai opportunities

That Azure and AWS are working hard to capture that GenAI market as it's probably needed to win this century.

I agree, it's not great. But it's traditionally what happened with these big tech trends.

will go back to the way things were before (or still is in many places) : marginalized. That is not the same as killing them. I don't at all think either should happen by the way, to be overly clear ❤️

I used to be very much in the traditional male/female camp but over the years changed my opinion about this to be much more open to other ideas. I think when he said the ideology needs to be eradicated he says he wants people like me to change my opinion so that people who are actually affected

And probably the Venn diagram between cloud hyperscalers and ai hyperscalers is not two separate circles ;)

Wondering if it's bluesky specifically or any link in your profile since x wants to keep people on-platform. I wouldn't be surprised in either case

But humans are far from flawless too, the baseline is just to be better than that, which in many cases is not a high bar. Guess it's different for people who are writing professionals.

I mean, I'm a nerd at heart and not very good with expressing myself in a nice eloquent way. AI helps me to structure my thoughts and get my message across and I like that.
Hallucination is real and as the models get better it gets ever more subtle.

Gender ideology isn't only practiced by people who identify it. I also never said I think the concept should go away.

It realistically will work out the way cloud hyperscalers worked out: 2-3 main players with a long tail of smaller more specialised services (either cheaper or with some unique angle)

Probably more true if you're from the 80's or earlier (so consciously remember this being a hit on radio and mtv)

Lots of ways to change a person's opinion. I have said many things in 43 years of life that I wouldn't say today and I didn't need to die to achieve that.

Ok, I get that. But is the problem then really the AI bit or does that just accelerate the underlying problem?

He's not wrong about a lot of things, but it's overshadowed by a bunch of really stupid shit.

This makes the feed page messed up for people who do this (and should have zero repercussions from doing so)

One of the very interesting things x did(does) is consider content you engage with as something you want to see more of. But that doesn't always work well: If you screenshot a tweet on mobile (or share the link) and send it to friends to tell them how horrible it is, you have engaged with it.

Dunno, I find it pretty dangerous. This is how words like fascist and Nazi started to be used for things (and people) that are neither. Algorithms are everywhere and they are not good, bad or evil. It's the purpose they are used for that can be problematic and equating those is dangerous..

Any place we can see details of this? Not all ai generated content is bad just because it was generated imho.
comment in response to

I'm sorry but this is also gas lighting. Not defending the man but equating someone saying an idea needs to be gone to them saying everyone who has those ideas should be killed is just not fair.

"Oh, you want more investment? What's your plan to make us money? You have a decentralised setup that gives you zero moat from competitors? No ads? No paid accounts?". I hope this isn't how it plays out but I wonder.

This is the big question imho. Call me a pessimist but I've seen more than 0 companies over the last few decades change course while under $$$ pressure.

Asking a person who knows in real life might be a solution for NASA, but if this isn't solved with technology there will be an influx of imposters of PIPs and companies. I find that worrying.

I find this interesting: when a certain person slashed a certain company after acquiring it it was horrible, impossible and irresponsible but now that we're on another platform it's all cool?
