And “git add bass” is right up there with @mwl.io’s “git commit murder”

If you don’t stuff the turkey with it, why even call it “stuffing”?

So, these principles seem sound, but that’s not the end of the story.

There’s also an ethical dimension to be considered: non-consensual training data. If an LLM is trained on copyrighted works from, say, other news outlets, that strikes me as an ethical problem for journalists, even if they’re transparent about their usage.

“… we will be open and transparent about any material use of AI in our journalism, and you, the public we serve, will never have to question whether something we’ve produced is real or AI-generated.”

Solid starting point for journalists.

BUT…

Outsourcing core functions of government with insufficient accountability?

And don't forget: this wasn't a team of state-sponsored hackers, it was a 19–year-old. If the school boards of Canada and the United States can't enforce enough security to keep a 19–year-old out, they need to take a long look in the mirror.

At the other end, rescuing students from the Slop Stream requires individual attention, which is hard to scale and doesn’t always work.
