Subverb

The process of training the model is arguably similar to a human learning, and if the model just sat on a server doing nothing but knowing, there’d be no problem. Taking that knowledge and selling it to the public en mass is the issue.

This is precisely what copyrights and patents are here to safeguard. Is there already a book like A Song of Ice and Fire? Write something else, maybe better! There’s already a patent for an idea you have? Change and improve upon it and get your own patent!

You see, copyrights and patents are supposed to spur creativity, not hinder it. OpenAI should improve upon its system so that it actually thinks and is creative itself rather than regurgitating copyrighted materials, themes and ideas. Then they wouldn’t have this problem.

OpenAI wants literally all of human knowledge and creativity for free so that they can sell it back to you. And you’re okay-ish with it?

Or a few years early…

This is essentially what OpenAI is asking for. To profit off of the work of unpaid labor.

There are deniers. They’re wrong.

These companies absolutely do use your microphone to listen.

My wife and I have tested this and you can too.

Have a conversation near your phones about purchasing something offbeat. We used a kitchen garbage disposal in our test. Talk about them for a few minutes, about needing to buy one, different brands, etc.

Almost immediately you’ll be served garbage disposal adds.

Kagi has lenses.

We’re at a point where not only should the Internet be classified as a utility, so should Search.

That’s a bit woke for Texas isn’t it?

I stopped reading when you admitted to using Facebook.

I use kagi and really like it. I find it worth the money as a business owner and software dev. I feel I’m more productive.

You can set up your own “lenses” which are targeted, customized searches and then use a keyword to invoke them. Pretty handy when you routinely search for obscure topics.

I use paid search engine kagi.com; search results with no ads or “promoted” crap.

Seeing search results without all the advertising is shocking the first few times you do it. It’s amazing how much advertising pollution has crept into Google’s search results.

I use kagi; love it. As an embedded systems developer I’m more productive with it.

It’s okay to plagiarize books if they’re in a library.

I read that stuff a few weeks ago. And the responses and discussion on Kagi’s Discord. I’ll continue to monitor Kagi’s behavior, of course, but for now I prefer Kagi. I get far more relevant results with no advertising noise and as much or as little “AI” assistance as I want.

Google is a cesspool and DDG is simply inferior - worthy, but inferior.

There’s a reason Primus’ Les Claypool mentions the 7 Layer Burrito in “Wynonna’s Big Brown Beaver”.

The shit was good.

McDonald’s Beef tallow fries. One of the great losses of my early life.

Try Kagi. Paid search engines are the future in order to extract yourself from the enshittification of “free” search engines.

Every kernel update (and there are tons) requires me to rebuild my third party modules, but you need to do it in a toolbox and the kernel headers version must match the running kernel version, which is actually more annoying than it sounds.

Boy, I doubt that.

My Windows 11 machine doesn’t require any of that.

One day soon someone will search online for what to do for a cut and some AI will spit out “Blood letting can actually be healthy in many American males, since often they have a overabundance of iron…”

ChatGPT and github copilot are great tools, but they’re like a chainsaw: if you apply them incorrectly or become too casual and careless with them, they will kickback at you and fuck your day up.
