Look, I'm not sure who needs to hear this, but there's a big difference between using a generative AI model to perform a task, and having a human do it:
* The Generative AI model will never get any better at it. Ever. 1 million hours later, Generative AI will do no better than on its first attempt.
* The Generative AI model will never get any better at it. Ever. 1 million hours later, Generative AI will do no better than on its first attempt.

In my experience, there's two types of business. The first kind is: Let's make this cool [product/service/journalism/whatever] - breaking even or making a profit helps us to keep making more [whatever].

Seems like most execs that are crowing about how much generative AI is contributing to their business, products, and services, have a really overinflated idea of the actual amount generative AI is contributing.

If organisations and businesses are going to slurp up your stuff with generative AIs for reproduction or decision-making, by god, make them pay for it.

A generative LLM basically acts as a statistical text completion device. You give it a prompt ('what is a cinema?') and it generates the most likely text to come after that, according to the patterns it has been trained on. The prompt is an instruction, but most models have additional instructions..

When my grandmother was 9 years old, she and her family lived in Texas and they were extremely poor. She lived with her mother and stepfather and three sisters. My great-grandmother made all their clothes, and they scrimped on everything so that they had enough to eat.

If Generative AI slop bothers you: Put prompt injections in everything. Put them in Bios, put them in emails, put them in reports and documents, and in your blogs and web-sites. EVERYWHERE.

Meet my newest creation Edith the Moth Phantom! I designed and hand-sewed her. She enjoys singing sea shanties with her cryptid band. They perform primarily for the moon. She also likes appearing to travelers as good or bad omens, depending on her mood.

The US First Amendment reads "Congress shall make no law..." because at the time, nobody ever expected the Executive to ever have the power to be able to blackmail businesses and organisations in matters of religion and speech. #USpol

The further right you go on the political spectrum the more you find people who wish to be treated as charity cases. Cap in hand, they beg for empathy and understanding from the people they say they want to destroy. Pleading for a socialist distribution of sympathy that they make no effort to give.

Trump has admitted (probably accidentally) that the Epstein files do exist. But — if they come to light — he tells you to not believe what you see and hear about the contents of those files.

In the 1966 Batman series, Robin was always getting stuffed into barrels, and all sorts of holes. This, honestly, feels traditional and on-point.
I don't 100% know what it is yet, but I would write this book.

I still haven't been paid for any copies of Seasonspree purchased through Steam since we launched back in September, and I'm convinced they never will pay me.
So I just put the game on Itch for 1/3 the price. That's $4, which is just a dollar a season!

Seriously, people. Collective Shout only needed about a thousand people to make contact to get a major payment processor to start forcing marketplaces to censor material. Today it's regrettable but limited censorship, but off the back of this there's no reason they can't push for more.

Are you going to push back, or what? Content you like is going away. Creators you like can't sell their content.
Isn't that worth an email or a phone call to the card company?

MAGA Republicans are approaching the whole ICE thing from a completely false perspective, based on lies and untruths. To them, ICE are noble federal officers who uphold the law, and any intereference with them for any reason is a criminal act. That just isn't so. 1/11
