Because those who aren't self-righteous bastards don't end up in news articles like this. They're there, just a lot more invisible.

I get the last part of your comment, where they make money from their AI's, but I'm curious if you could explain why them scraping everything on the internet is a bad thing? I'm really curious, as I see it more as an advantage that they could scrape just everything rather than a disadvantage: if we start getting LLMs that only scrape certain sites or certain topics, we're just making the echo chambers even more defined.

Them scraping everything feels a bit like the internet era where APIs were open and semi-unlimited.

I do get that them having used , for example, all the Tolkien books as part of their dataset, and users being able to ask their tools to "write a new LOTR" book, could be seen as a problem, but even then it's only a problem when they commercialise it, and we have laws in place for those things. Fanfics have always been a thing and are just the same, except that it takes more effort as it's a human writing it.

Again: I'm really curious about your view and opinion, as you can see that mine is quite different.

Redundant sea, right next to the north sea obviously!

Who said AI wouldn't be helpful? As close to real life footage as possible !

I'm actually still not sure how I feel about this.

I can use books to learn a new language. AI can use texts to learn their kind of language in a sense.

I'm not sure where the limit is or should be though.

I know people like to hate on windows here but come on: 90 weeks is another ~18 months. It's near the end of 2025.

While absolutely true, what you're saying, saying 90 weeks instead of any alternative (630 days!) Is just trying to make it sounds worse than it is to push an agenda.

On the one hand: sucks for people that used this, on the other hand: you couldn't purchase for the last 3 years already AND they offer a clean way of keeping your purchases by downloading it.

So, while Google makes a lot of questionable decisions, I think this is okay as far as things go.

I mean, I can call all Tesla cars stupid, all SpaceX rockets garbage, .. doesn't mean Elon gets to insult me personally all of a sudden, does it?

Golden age of memes, part 2!

2nding the question, been trying to upload from within the liftoff app, but when clicking the image icon and selecting the icon, it "loads" for a second but then nothing happens.

"can I have a yes with just a bit of no please?"

Looks like a really good boy!

BUT you can still upvote or comment on posts from different instances if you access them from within the instance your account is from!

So you don't need to create one account for each instance.

A couple of years back he did stop the park bench with Matt cold turkey though.. So I can see him stopping or massively slowing down his main channel stuff, but he will keep doing other things on the side for sure!
