Plus it only exists on a screen; a canvas Monet never touched. They changed the context and get surprised that people didn't ignore the change in context.

Even when we can't identify the author of a work we still value the fact that a human produced it.

It looks like it's 10,000 years away from being trusted with anything. The number of times it said, "I think this person is bullshitting me" and then did what it was asked anyway was rediculous.

I thought they were going to require age verification for VPNs but their demand is even more stupid. They want porn sites to recognise when someone is using a VPN and then block their access if they're in Wisconsin. I want this law to pass now so that they can look stupid in front of more people.

If you violate a court order in my country you get sent to prison. China is so progressive that you aren't even put under house arrest for the same offense.

Scaffolding was set up for renovations and the fire was able to spread quickly by bypassing all the fire breaks that are built into high rises and shooting up the outside. Hong Kong is unique in its use of bamboo scaffolding, which is obviously more flammable than steel.

Consoles are usually sold at a loss and profit is made on the software i.e games and nowadays subscriptions. Selling hardware at a loss with no follow up is going to hurt.

But the company only bans advertisers if its automated systems predict the marketers are at least 95% certain to be committing fraud, the documents show. If the company is less certain – but still believes the advertiser is a likely scammer – Meta charges higher ad rates as a penalty, according to the documents.

What a way to run a business! I think we could all learn a lot from the zuck.

A recent winner of the Akutagawa prize in Japan said she used chatbots to write around 5% of her novel so they're already proving useful.

A recent winner of the Akutagawa prize in Japan said she used chatbots to write around 5% of her novel.

After 33-year-old writer Rie Kudan won the Akutagawa Prize last week, she told reporters that a small portion of her book, Tokyo-to Dojo-to (Tokyo Sympathy Tower), was lifted verbatim from ChatGPT.

“This is a novel written by making full use of a generative A.I.,” Kudan said in her acceptance speech, according to the Japan Times’ Thu-Huong Ha. “Probably about 5 percent of the whole text is written directly from the generative A.I. I would like to work well with them to express my creativity.” https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/this-award-winning-japanese-novel-was-written-partly-by-chatgpt-180983641/


What about publishing a collection of short stories, some of which have human authors and others from LLMs. You could call it, "2 truths and an AI".

  • Tesla is suing Chinese customers for defamation if they publicly blame its cars for causing crashes that hospitalise them. It even went so far as to doxx one woman after she protested at a trade show.

  • Journalists in Shanghai have been told the company is off limits for criticism.

  • Musk maintains a close relationship with Li Qiang, the 2nd highest ranking member of CPP.

The free speech absolutist strikes again!
