Alternatively, we live in a society.

I don’t mind accommodating sensitive crybabies if that’s all it takes. But everyone gets their own space so it’s chill.

Irl? Like one and a half irl friends (the second one and I vibe really well but we’re both pretty independent)

It’s fine I guess

Or perhaps an especially militarised police and surveillance state to keep the trashing contained

Havin a day fire, but at night

So just FYI the rule of thumb with alt text that I’ve heard is: imagine you’re describing the picture you’re looking at to someone you’re talking on the phone with.

So that usually means keeping it brief and precise to only the aspects which are relevant to the context it’s being posted in.

Sorry if you’ve heard this already, but yet helped me a lot.

I think it’s also because some people are extra bothered by setting the full word without some attempt to mark it. Really if this was like the rest of the fediverse there would be a CW on it. And please don’t quote Louis CK at me.

Yeah the blue line is wobbly on this one so whoever does cop optics first wins.

Yeah they basically disappear behind their new tool, as the only contribution you now see is the one coming from the plagiarism machine.

I don’t use LLMs (especially now during nosloptober), but I’m also trying to apply this to web searching. Like instead of doing a search for “how many minutes in a month” I’ll realise I have all the tools and information to figure it out and just do that.

Or checking with a local manual before searching online

So start it up, Jeff. Hire more people to do less work. Don’t need ai, or automation, or industrialisation, or any of that for the wealthy to share their largess. It’s all technically possible right now or a hundred years ago.

Well they’re going to have a bad time relearning the same lesson over and over then.

What’s to stop you from excluding assholes from shared spaces in anarchy and communism? They’re free to have their own asshole patch, ofc, but in a society…

Interestinger and interestinger. So you wish you could create the art (or pictures, whatever term you want to use), but the way you do it doesn’t matter, so you just use the LLM because that’s the easiest way to do it?

Would you normally try to soup something up in paint, or just do something else? I mean like before you could generate it with natural language.

That’s actually a really illuminating analogy.

I can’t say I understand what people get out of playing with LLMs, but if they view writing code or drawing pictures like I view using a calculator then that explains a lot of the disconnect between the two camps.

I’ve got a deck of cards in my coffee table that I like to play solitaire on. I keep tweaking the house rules to make it more fun.

Actually I’m not sure I’d call it “fun” so much as “relaxing.” But I do enjoy myself.

Ads for gambling should be prohibited, just like those for tobacco and alcohol.

I don’t love this analogy. You’re comparing something out of living memory with something that’s still actively going on right this second.

I think it’s always worthwhile to at least mention it, or else you give the impression we’ve collectively moved on.
