And, since an LLM cannot _create_ new information, only derive from what it's ingested... the natural conclusion of this is that the rate of sharing of new knowledge _reduces_, because there's less incentive to publish what LLMs will gleefully steal.

I think this is important because - while the technology of LLMs is very clever and often useful - it is also often erasing authorship and sources of information. As that happens, the original authors will lose income, and so there will be less authors, and so less sources of _new_ information.

ChatGPT will silently derive new content from what it ingests, and presents it typically without credit.

If I choose to share a file via Google drive, the authorship is still visible and it's the content that I created that is shared.

I do like this question, because I think it poses a valid point that is rarely considered.

However, I also think there's an important difference...

For confirmation:

-Both devices signed into the same account
- Sync set to "Sync all data"
- both devices have had Vivaldi restarted multiple times
- both devices have multiple updates to "Last Sync" date

Hi! I lost all the passwords on my Win11 machine (v7.0.3495.27) when sync went down (also cookies, but less important).

My Android (7.0.3505.121) did not suffer this.

Both devices are back signed into sync now, and synced successfully multiple times, but still no pwds on the Win11.

Any idea why?

Yes, but why has all my local data gone too? I should not have been logged out of sites and have no locally saved passwords, surely?

(Caveat: haven't had time to validate this in any detail, but it doesn't strike me as entirely unlikely either.)

Immigration vs asylum are entirely different issues - but they get terribly, wilfully (and often fatally) conflated by politicians and media alike.

Because the airlines obviously can't make a judgement during checkin that can take an actual government months to work out - they just say no to _everyone_.

So instead of taking a $50 flight to seek legitimate asylum, people jump in dangerous boats for $1000.

Was reading something related this week... Apparently the reason asylum seekers pay $1k to smugglers instead of just flying over to seek asylum is because there's an EU law saying "should an airline transport asylum seekers _not_ qualify, they have to return said persons at their own expense."

You really should. I didn't get very deep into it, but even from the first handful of levels/cases, it's _amazingly_ done.

Definitely my favourite room there 😆 Did they do the live-person intro when you arrived? We had that the first time we went about a year back, but our second visit last month was missing it.
