As someone who's never even considered interacting with any part of this whole system, this is really funny honestly. It's like a matryoshka of shady business practices.

what the fuck does it mean to be extremely leaning.

anyway, sorry to say, misanthropy is a reactionary value and also boring and sad.

For anyone who rightfully can't be arsed to click that link, the expert is "Robert Miles AI Safety", who I assume is an expert (a youtuber) in the madeup field of "AI safety".

Not to be confused with the late and great dream trance producer Robert Miles whom we all love dearly.

Piracy is allowed as long as no one enjoys it.

Absolutely, every single one of these tools has got less interesting as they refine it so it can only output the platonic ideal of kitsch.

That ChatGPT can be more useful than a web search is really more indicative of how bad the web has got, and can only get worse as fake text invades it. It's not actually better than a functional search engine and a functional web, but the companies making these things have no interest in the web being usable. Pretty depressing.

To be honest, as someone who's very interested in computer generated text and poetry and the like, I find generic LLMs far less interesting than more traditional markov chains because they're too good at reproducing clichés at the exclusion of anything surprising or whimsical. So I don't think they're very good for the unfactual either. Probably a homegrown neural network would have better results.

I got stuck on the same sentence. What the hell was that?

I'm going to assume he thinks "person" and "thing" are synonyms.

Yeah, it's always a combination of factors and I have no doubt the stress didn't help, but the idea that OpenAI would put a hit on some guy no one's heard of over his opinions on copyright infringement is laughable. Let's not do that.
