God, it's like teachers trying to copy a link from their file browser. Well, bless them for trying.

They seem so directionless lately, and by god is AI the wrong horse to bet on for their users.

I should check out LibreWolf...

OpenOffice was a really solid Microsoft Office rival, and FOSS to boot. Made by Sun Microsystems, of course, and then ruined by Oracle (of course).

Thankfully LibreOffice was forked from it and is still going strong as a very capable suite of document tools. And OpenOffice is basically dead, womp womp.

Funnily enough, Libre Office is another great example of this, being forked from Open Office (and also way better).

I mean... yeah this clearly sucks ass, but as a silver lining, maybe it'll rebuild interest in nuclear.

This is so wholesome

Honestly the probably don't even have to. In my experience, they tell you to fuck off because anyone who actually notices the price of the power bill isn't wealthy enough to sue.

I mean, we've seen already that AI companies are forced to be reactive when people exploit loopholes in their models or some unexpected behavior occurs. Not that they aren't smart people, but these things are very hard to predict, and hard to fix once they go wrong.

Also, what do you mean by synthetic data? If it's made by AI, that's how collapse happens.

The problem with curated data is that you have to, well, curate it, and that's hard to do at scale. No longer do we have a few decades' worth of unpoisoned data to work with; the only way to guarantee training data isn't from its own model is to make it yourself

Wow, it's amazing that just 3.3% of the training set coming from the same model can already start to mess it up.

I've read some snippets of AI written books and it really does feel like my brain is short circuiting

A lot of pro-birth people argue "obviously things are different if the mother's life is in danger", but that ignores that there's often nothing obvious or definite about the line between "safe" and dangerous. Doctors are erring on the side of caution to avoid potential lawsuits and even jail time, and this is the result. People bleeding out in parking lots, suffering irreversible damage to their body, and people dying.
