I imagine this is how it'll work for stage 2 of Ai enshittifation. They'll just add a bunch of garbage upstream about a brand or product marketers are paying to push and it'll infect a bunch of outputs downstream.

Lol, hittin the weights like Scratchy

Haven't read the article and have a limited knowledge of ai, but I wonder if they do this for reinforcement learning: So OSS PR responses can be used to label different weights and models. Using even more free labor to train their models.

I wonder if hierarchical structures need reframing rather than removing. If changing our mental model could be the dismantling. I'm considering the definition and observation of emergent and beneficial hierarchies as discussed in "Thinking in Systems" by Donella Meadows-- the hierarchy structure is not inherently bad. What's bad is, when it comes to human social structure, the person coordinating a collection of people is often considered more important.

If they were equally as replaceable as anyone in the collection (as it should be in a resilient system)-- perhaps by randomly reappointing that position, periodically-- then you could have a central-coordinator structure where benefitial, without the problems of that coordinator becoming drunk on power.

Coincidentally, that book has a quote from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance that's very fitting for that last part you mentioned:

if a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a systematic government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced that government are left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves in the succeeding government. There’s so much talk about the system. And so little understanding.

Wouldn't a byte be $2 if a bit was a quarter, or do you mean 2 bits are a quarter? Also i think you were right to use powers of 10 in your estimate. Article says kilobyte, not kibibyte. I really like what your conversion illustrates, I'm just tripping up on the details. I could be wrong-- commenting so someone can correct me if i am-- if a bit is a quarter, 69 Kilobytes would be $138,000

Does it have the model in the model?

Also reputation: former classmates or colleagues might be working there already

F - tier Only time I flew with them I had a layover. 1st flight was late. My wife was visibly, 7 months pregnant. Hurried to the connection's gate. They closed it as we approached. People waiting in line to board on the other side of the gate, about 20ft away. Wouldn't let us board.

No flight till 24hrs later. Said they'd cover the hotel but never got us vouchers. Had to get the credit card company to dispute the charge. Next day they charged us for carry on that was free on the first flight. Trip was for my grandma's funeral. Made the funeral but lost an entire day with extended family.

IDK if I've ever hated a company or it's staff more than that. So many layers of incompetence from different staff. Clearly a systemic problem.

During the pandemic I had the same back-to-back restriction for weed because I'd notice my mood dip after 2 days of use.

I appreciate your honesty, and I'm not far behind. I'll scratch off build up sometimes and easily go months. Washing it is probably a similar frequency to getting my haircut.

Asking because the tumbler I use has a lot of little parts, so I easily go weeks between washing. I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than me shares a good reason why I shouldn't do that, because I feel a bit self conscious about it, but not enough to frequently wash.
