Are social services being cut? No. Cost of higher ed is rising due to rents in big cities (see above), the higher ed is universal. No jobs? C’mon: stat.gov.pl/en/topics/la...

Is it enough to change the demographics? Not at all. Do “pro-life” nonsense is doing harm? Of course. Do we have, similar to other EU countries, problems with affordable housing (in big cities)? Yes we do. Was it made worse due to stupid policies? Yes.

This framing is not very accurate and simplifies the reality too much.

It’s not fifty bucks. It’s $220 per child, on top of back to school packages and programs to support big (3+ families). It is big help for a lot of families. Lack of such programs got us far fright government here.

The best example of a solution looking for a problem. “Let’s brain storm which data sets we own can be abused by LLM to get *something*”

LOL. So true. Reminds me of so many “let’s do this as an infographics” briefs.

I am too always boggled when I hear complains “why no garbage bins” when I pass people on a mountain trail, in a national park, kilometers into the wild.

Even in the cities. My soul hurts when I see all the garbage throun into the bushes and ditches. Who does that?

“Own your garbage.” Yes we must!

Bypassing the end-to-end encryption seems like a lawful and substantiated way of policing criminals, but in fact opens a back doors for more villains to break lives of lawful and good people.

Every exception to human-right will eventually enable more harm and suffering from many.

It seems like a transmission corridor (power line corridor) for power lines. Visible via Google Earth in the region near the path of your flight.

I am sure AI folks will look for ways to counter the above.

At the same time, investors, individuals, societies, and governments should acknowledge that the answer already exists: protect human creation and disincentivise synthetic data.

Homogenization can at least be considered productive (“[…] The incentive for cherry picking ⎯ the tendency of users to favor data quality over diversity […]”), but effectively, it becomes nothing more than reaffirmation of the loudest voice. Not good even as a search engine.

Each mode in itself lacks creativity.

(Decomposition as a part of the process serves a purpose of reconfiguration, while homogenization can induce creativity as an outside factor.)

Synthetic data is both a child & a nemesis of current LLMs. Nowadays, we're headed into a world where “AI” generates more-&-more data, promising greater creativity. However, the long-term nature of the creation is a choice between total decomposition & complete homogenization.

I’ll restrain myself to one (recent) recommendation: “The Eight Mountains” (boxd.it/ufRe)
The Eight Mountains (2022)
An epic journey of friendship and self-discovery set in the breathtaking Italian Alps, The Eight Mountains follows over four decades the profound, complex relationship between Pietro and Bruno.
