I’m not going to allow them to coerce me into making an account because they have a simulacrum of me.
I love that the collectivist ideal of sharing all that we’ve created for the betterment of humanity is being twisted into this disgusting display of corporate greed and overreach. OpenAI doesn’t need shit. They don’t have an inherent right to exist but must constantly make the case for it’s existence.
The bottom line is that if corporations need data that they themselves cannot create in order to build and sell a service then they must pay for it. One way or another.
I see this all as parallels with how aquifers and water rights have been handled and I’d argue we’ve fucked that up as well.
You know, those obsessed with pushing AI would do a lot better if they dropped the patronizing tone in every single one of their comments defending them.
It’s always fun reading “but you just don’t understand”.
Such confidence, such poise.
Guys, there’s no point in making bombs illegal. Everyone can just buy the ingredients they need from their hardware store and Amazon anyway. /s
Life is too short for such invasive stress.
Those amber alerts aren’t about you.
I see we have a consultant in our midsts.
What does the person “who knows” do when they have to give a presentation?
If the only way your product can be useful is by stealing other people’s work, well then it’s not a well made product.
Sure thing, cool guy.
That’s literally the sales response to this. “People don’t really know what they want until we sell it to them”
It’s pretty fucking gross.
ToS aren’t the law.
LLMs have no ‘grip’ on human emotions. That’s part of the whole criticism with this.
Finding the words to express one’s self is an incredibly important life skill to learn. And it’s just that, a skill. It needs to be practiced in order for people to get better at it.
Billionaires shouldn’t exist and neither should your pearl clutching
Coming from someone who hasn’t gotten into the weeds with this company, my understanding was that they did email. I was considering migrating over to them in order to de-google completely.
This move, specifically, has caused me to reconsider and scrap those plans. Not every tech company needs to peddle ai and crypto bullshit.
Then you do not get licensed and cannot work on certain projects that may require a licensed or accredited team.
Licensure isn’t about how good you are. It’s about ensuring that you, as a professional, understand the ramifications of your contributions to the work you do and the field you are a part of and accepting the responsibility of those ramifications. Continuing education is also a huge part of it but I don’t think software engineers have much issue there.
Lol, sadly not. Most professions do not have unions and representation, such that it is, falls mostly to the accreditation group.
Cause it’s metal.
