OK but this is why people give a shit when a CEO is cagey about how their magic box works

Yep here you go. It’s currently a very famous lawsuit.

That’s one example, plus I’m talking generally why this is an important question for a CEO to answer and why people think generally LLMs may infringe on copyright, be bad for creative people

The issue is that the LLMs do often just verbatim spit out things they plagiarized form other sources. The deeper issue is that even if/when they stop that from happening, the technology is clearly going to make most people agree our current copyright laws are insufficient for the times.

That was my interest in the story. Technology is so ingrained in our lives. It’s weird more furniture doesn’t have power chargers and other cords better designed into them. It’s weird our houses and electrical codes haven’t caught up.

But this is just a huge step back. Unless I’m unaware of lots of other new and old buildings with similar issues.

Off topic, but isn’t disney going to sue you to hell and back for profiting off their venm diagram mouse logo thing?

My last phone has roms loaded onto it 😂

I’m more just talking about how the COOOL NEW THING attracts a lot of attention. Then an ungodly amount of investor money. And then dies. I don’t like podcasts and I don’t know a whole lot about their distribution, but the fact that they get funded like super bowl ads definitely means another shoe is about to drop.

It seems they are about to have their bubble burst. It’s probably the next wave of enshittification.

OK, so what does what happens in one person’s family have to do with all children?

Again you might teach your kids to walk safely on the sidewalk, but if something changes and ten of thousands of kids just start walking off the sidewalk… Wouldn’t that be an issue worth considering?

I’m not comparing it to smoking.

If someone’s response to “social media is bad for kids”, then to me “I keep my kids away from it, easy peasy” is not a response that invalidates the original argument. It actually supports the idea: social media is dangerous, therefore I intervene as a parent.

Yes I’m being a little lazy, but I’m not a research scientist. Gooogling some thing like “mental illness social media” is pretty easy. There’s lots of studies finding at least a little corelation.

I’m not shocked your linked study says that there is very little evidence of social media causing mental health issues. I wouldn’t even be shocked if it’s true.

It still doesn’t mean that good parenting and social media access go hand in hand.

Just trying to have a conversation and not get a PhD in the process.

If I post some links you will probably decide that they aren’t satisfactory. You could just look into it yourself, or perhaps provide the reason you don’t like those studies generally.

There is lots of research looking at mental health affects of social media.

OK… Good parenthood doesn’t invalidate the idea that the modern internet is bad for some/many kids.

Smoking is bad for kids, even if you don’t let your kid smoke, smoking hurts the health of kids who do. Right?

I don’t have kids. And I respect the Kids These Days perspective…

But aren’t you concerned about how quickly YouTube and Facebook are known to show new users radical content? Have you read studies about how social media may be related to unprecedented mental illness in kids?

Aren’t algorithms and social media at least a little different than books and television? Aren’t they razor focused on making us sad and addicted?

My favorite stage of Quora is when the monetized asking questions. Around this time I had too much time on my hands and showed up to help. When I realized I was making fractions of a penny, I turned to trolling the power users.

These guys were so insecure. They’d whine in their answers about how Quora should pay for good answers, not for questions that bring traffic. Nice try, but every tech bro is online and dying to give an opinion, so sorry, “good” answers is not worth paying for.

And when you would try to correct them or report their answers as incorrect they would lose their shit and try and report me 😂

Fun times. Like a dolphin watching a ship sink.

What’s different is the feedback loop and the globalization. Yes, it’s just capitalism, ie giving the people what they “want”, but it’s really not just the same as someone suggesting that customers like clean lines and plants.

If I understand it correctly, it may be a garden path sentence. The usual construction of a garden path sentence is where a sentence, when read, the part of speech for a word is different than immediately considered.

The old man the boats.

Here it seems when considered a word at a time that the old man… Oh wait “man” is not the subject of the sentence, “Old” is not an adjective.
