"Tricky" means "ethical issues of someone who took an oath to heal and save lives doing the opposite."
There are jobs where it's not feasible or practical to pay an actual human to do.
Human translators exist and are far superior to machine translators. Do you hire one every time you need something translated in a casual setting, or do you use something Google translate? LLMs are the reason modern machine translation is is infinitely better than it was a few years ago.
One of the major problems with LLMs is it's a "boom". People are rightfully soured on them as a concept because jackasses trying to make money lie about their capabilities and utility -- never mind the ethics of obtaining the datasets used to train them.
They're absolutely limited, flawed, and there are better solutions for most problems ... but beyond the bullshit LLMs are a useful tool for some problems and they're not going away.
I'm fairly certain these people are trolling.
Alright, so I watched the video so you guys don't have to. Here's a synopsis:
Youtube's ad blocking is going to backfire because:
- It caused people to stop using crappy ad blockers that didn't even work with youtube to switch to effective ones that do.
- Drawing attention to "good" browsers and ad blockers, increasing adoption -- including people that weren't using or aware of the existence of them in the first place
- Increased support of the people making/maintaining ad blockers. Spite driven increase in donations, subscriptions to paid ad blockers, bug reports, etc.
- Cites the Streisand effect.
- Analogy of how prohibition led to stronger drugs, stronger booze, etc. If you tell people they can't do something, they're more likely to do it and get better at doing it.
- Cites how Youtube's attempts to block ad blockers is breaking older embedded apps in smart TVs, chromecast, etc. Older or non-tech people are just more likely to stop using those rather than try to fix them -- and thus cut back on watching youtube.
- Believes Youtube's actions are an indication the internet's "free with ads" model is dying -- they're getting desperate to maintain profitability.
Red flags come in all sizes. A potentially small one is: "I'm not willing to sit through a dumb but harmless movie even though my partner wants to see it."
A bigger red flag would be "I refuse to see The Barbie Movie because it's woke!!!!!"
If this is how you act around other people ... I don't think the problem is other people.
Because his company was (and continues to be) a powerful force acting against consumer rights.
He was also a self absorbed asshole that's still idolized for some reason.
The test isn't if someone dislikes the movie, it's why if they disliked the movie.
It's fine if someone thinks it was boring, poorly written, etc. It's a red flag if they go off on some misogynistic rant.
I'd call it emotionally immature.
A surprising number of the people I grew up or work with act like they're still in high school when it comes to social/interpersonal skills -- these people are all well over 30 years old.
I've taken to de-DRMing any e-books I bought from Amazon for that reason.
Also, the "You can only view this book on 3 devices" -- yeah .... fuck off.
Calibre + DeDRM plugin + KFX plugin. Perfectly legal too, as long as you aren't distributing them.
"Hey, should we use any of the ready to go setups the right-to-die people have put considerable thought in to?"
"No, let's just wing it with shit we already have. What could go wrong?"
