Lots of fingering and sax and tromboners and spit valves

Early compared to official start time, or compared to when I normally show up?

Valid options are:

  • What it looks like
  • How it looks

Not:

  • How it looks like

It currently is, but they are shipping a Linux version this year.

This phrase drives me crazy.

Meanwhile, AI vendors:

“AI will soon be the only way we access information and make decisions!”

Well, the harvesting isn’t illegal (yet), and I think it probably shouldn’t be.

It’s scraping, and it’s hard to make that part illegal without collateral damage.

But that doesn’t mean we should do nothing about these AI fuckers.

In the words of Cory Doctorow:

Web-scraping is good, actually.

Scraping against the wishes of the scraped is good, actually.

Scraping when the scrapee suffers as a result of your scraping is good, actually.

Scraping to train machine-learning models is good, actually.

Scraping to violate the public’s privacy is bad, actually.

Scraping to alienate creative workers’ labor is bad, actually.

We absolutely can have the benefits of scraping without letting AI companies destroy our jobs and our privacy. We just have to stop letting them define the debate.

Idk if it’s the biggest problem, but it’s probably top three.

Other problems could include:

  • Power usage
  • Adding noise to our communication channels
  • AGI fears if you buy that (I don’t personally)

It makes people click.

My phone’s keyboard automatically does it — deal with it, nerd.
