Yeah, I get the impression that this is a clickbait “hey you know that thing that’s kind of annoying/problematic/whatever? Well now AI can do it too!” Sort of news story.

AI didn’t “reinvent” sending large amounts of unsolicited email. It was never deinvented in the first place.

Girls can totally be dudes or bros. It’s a state of mind.

Indeed, throughout nature it’s almost all sigmoids. The trick is that sigmoids look exponential before the inflection point and it’s hard to predict when that inflection point is going to come.

I’m sure people will approach this news story in a sane and well-reasoned manner.

Nice. We uploaded a mind into a computer and the first thing we did was put it in a simulation of Hell and teach it how to shoot things.

Yeah, funny how this is “PR” and manipulation but “pervert glasses” is perfectly fine.

It’s an interesting idea to have an AI psychiatrist or AI confessional where you can talk to it about anything at all in an air-gapped environment and then at the end you can push a button that completely wipes every trace of the conversation that’s outside of your own mind. Could be beneficial.

No, I’m suggesting that you’re not very knowledgeable about socialism.

There’s that nebulous “they” again. And now childish ad hominems too, and a demand that I “don’t reply.” I get the impression that continuing to discuss would be pretty pointless, yeah.

In a socialist system the “wealthy cunts” are not in charge. If they are then the label “socialist” isn’t really correct any more.

Though in some circles the label “socialist” actually corresponds to “a political structure or philosophy that changes based on context but always means whatever I don’t like”, in which case I guess go ahead and use it. I find this definition to be somewhat less useful, however.

“Them” is different in the two cases. In this case it’s to benefit a few oligarchs. In the case of socialism it’s to benefit the general public.

A mass migration won’t happen until they actually do something tangible to drive it. And it’ll have to be something pretty big, look at how services like Reddit continue to maintain their user base because for most people it’s still working fine.

And so, exactly as I predicted, we’ve got commenters coming out to defend the poor innocent copyright cartels against those awful people pirating their stuff. Violating sacred EULAs, even, what monsters.

This isn’t a question of “walking it back”, though. There was never anything in copyright law that prohibited analyzing a copyrighted work before. This is an attempt to extend it.

A while back I saw a thread in a piracy community that was cheering some other lawsuit against an AI company for similar reasons, so I wouldn’t bet. The anti-AI sentiment is quite strong in these parts.

And now watch everyone cheer for Sony and Warner to succeed in their lawsuits to extend the grip of copyright. What a timeline.

It’s because these products work. They actually provide value to the users, despite opponents’ insistence to the contrary.
