I’ve got a week to somehow make £800 to pay my basic bills so if anyone wants to buy any Lego for Christmas or singing now would be VERY GOOD.

They conduct vital search & rescue operations in the Mediterranean, saving lives when others turn away.
21.1km for me = solidarity with their life-saving mission.

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context*
Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when
An LLM just generates text

Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

Emphatically agree - the public haven't heard of the new rules, but they like the sound of banning things

Just bake it in, I don't need my assistant really, if the app functionality is good enough.
And no, Lyric Match is not good enough as a replacement. I don't speak all languages.

Man, I've been thinking like this a bunch recently.
Society/Social media is so wrapped up with who said what, what does it mean and how that might affect things and it's all just "Commentary".
It makes one feel smart, it makes it feel like you're contributing, but it's just...more vacuous opinion.

...and I'm like, why??? Why are you talking like this? Why are you thinking like this? Do you think it makes you sound clever? Do you think it's the "right" way to think about politics? It's not!!
You're a voter ffs. Just... look at politics as a voter. Why are you bothering about "optics" ffs??
