Counterpoints:

Artists also draw distinctions between inspiration and ripping off.

The legality of an act has no bearing on its ethics or morality.

The law does not protect machine generated art.

Machine learning models almost universally utilize training data which was illegally scraped off the Internet (See meta's recent book piracy incident).

Uncritically conflating machine generated art with actual human inspiration, while career artist generally lambast the idea, is not exactly a reasonable stance to state so matter if factly.

It's also a tacit admission that the machine is doing the inspiration, not the operator. The machine which is only made possible by the massive theft of intellectual property.

The operator contributes no inspiration. They only provide their whims and fancy with which the machine creates art through mechanisms you almost assuredly don't understand. The operator is no more an artist than a commissioner of a painting. Except their hired artist is a bastard intelligence made by theft.

And here they are, selling it for thousands.

Turns out that eliminating 70% of all viable workers from employability creates job security for boring, cis men.

Playing hangman or 20 questions with friends and a voice ai is objectively hilarious. None of them can really do it properly

Wait... What? The article seems to imply that the water is consumed, but it's referencing the water used in cooling loops.

That's not really what the article is about. The author even concedes that such a law would never, and perhaps never should, happen; rather, he feels that corporations will not adopt best practices of preservation unless compelled, and it pisses him off.

The title is deliberate hyperbolic. He's clearly pissed.

I'm so happy that new pipe is working again.

100% prompt engineering was made up by grifters to sell consultations, classes, books, etc.

  1. calling it engineering is frankly an affront to anyone who's gone to an engineering college, or studied technical vocations where engineers are important.

  2. In any competitive, expensive field, It is easier to teach a professional to prompt, than a prompter the profession. Same as it is easier to teach a chemical engineer to work Excel, than it is to teach an excel wiz chemical engineering.

  3. LLMs with chain of thought reasoning are already making the whole thing irrelevant by promoting themselves. The industry is rapidly replacing the so called, "promt engineers."

Tldr: just read #3

No, just a misleading title. He basically said, the PlayStation is core, but we have a future on all platforms. Absolutely nothing changed or is changing. This is not in any way news.
