If someone asked me to write a metafictional short story, I would simply not.

Six word metafictional story:

“Write a metafictional short story.”

“No.”

Why? Per the poll: “a lack of reliability.” The things being sold as “agents” don’t … work.

Vendors insist that the users are just holding the agents wrong. Per Bret Taylor of Sierra (and OpenAI):

Accept that it is imperfect. Rather than say, “Will AI do something wrong”, say, “When it does something wrong, what are the operational mitigations that we’ve put in place to deal with it?”

I think this illustrates the situation of the LLM market pretty well, not just at a shallow level of the base incentives of the parties at play, but also at a deeper level, showing the general lack of humanity and toleration of dogshit exhibited by the AI companies that they are trying to brainwash everyone with.

This fractal sucks because it’s the voices of the underprivileged that need to be amplified. Using gen AI will smother them entirely.

Windows has had some major security flaws over the years but ever since Vista, (and before that XPSP2), they have made a concerted effort to fix them.

I don’t think we need to characterise famously monopolistic/anticompetitive Microsoft as an UwU “trying my best!~” anime character (it’s been done) that needs to be left alone to do their thing while we cheer it on, dawg. There are many issues with how this all went down, and Microsoft is just opportunistically taking shots at their arch-nemesis, legislation specifically targeted at their core business strategy of anti-competition.

I guarantee that if there is a libertarian space colony, all of their life support systems will be contaminated by mutant tardigrades (aka water bears). The libertarians yearn for destruction by bears.

Nothing is sacred to anyone who is willing to consume or make this kinda thing. 100% of showcases of AI capability are just AIs copying something humans do. Sometimes it’s chess. Other times it’s copying Monet, of Van Gogh, or in this case, Carlin.

This is exactly the kind of thing that the WGA was striking against and what big media corporations want to have happen. As shown by some of the comments in this thread there are people that are absolutely fine with facsimile as art. It’s all bad and I hate it. I especially hate how nostalgia for the classics is gonna drive this.
