  • I agree, actually. While I think there does have to be some protection against people using the work of creatives without some form of recompense, the current laws surrounding this are broken to the point of uselessness. Only the huge masters get benefit from IP law in the west, not the people.

    We need to fix that whole aspect of human life. But until then, we need to also recognize that we live in a broken system and people who play stupid games in that system win stupid prizes.


  • I find in my line of work that if you ask it "101-"grade questions, like the kind of questions a beginner who knows next to nothing would ask, you’ll get acceptable (not good, but acceptable) answers from LLMbeciles. As soon as it requires any degree of serious technical know-how, or as soon as context starts to matter, the utility plummets dramatically from “acceptable” to “what the actual fuck are you thinking using this!?”

    The problem is that asking those 101- questions of your coworkers gets you acceptable or better answers more quickly, and often, as a bonus, stuff that has examples straight out of your workspace. So LLMbeciles are kind of worthless for beginner questions too.



  • This is true. It’s infringement, and they’re different words for a reason.

    But …

    Infringement is against the law. The people doing this live in an environment in which what they’re doing is illegal. If they have philosophical opposition to intellectual “property” (that formulation is grossly dishonest) they can fight it. Or ignore it. Or whatever. But if they infringe while the laws are still there, they will have the current laws applied to them. (This is just common sense.)

    And I said if you’re going to have the notion of intellectual property at all, it’s not the fourteen year old kid who downloads a Metallica album that should be jailed. It’s the motherfuckers literally walking off with the collected knowledge and creative output of humanity and walling it off behind their expensive product who should.
















  • Well the thing is I’ve dealt with aitechbroshilldudes in other communities who insist that my objections to LLMbeciles are “out of date” and that “modern” “reasoning” LLMbeciles can do, and I quote directly here, “amazing things that blow away human beings”.

    So I gave it a relatively simple logic puzzle that could easily have come from the stack of logic puzzle magazines I have lying around somewhere from back when I needed something to do while bored on a bus. (I mean it’s rated “difficult” but for human beings. And “difficult” here means “if you’re experienced, this will probably take you about an hour”.)

    So if LLMbeciles themselves say in their responses that they’re ready to tackle “tricky questions”, and their shills claim that they “surpass human beings”, surely a puzzle that’s a pleasant pastime for humans who are bored can be solved, right?

    Nope. 🤣
