    When someone calls you a nimrod, do you start going on about how the word “actually” means a great hunter?

    Regardless of its root, the word luddite has a clear meaning. I find it hilarious the anti-ai bros wear it as a badge of honor, thinking they are somehow bringing the old meaning back when the current common one describes them exactly; someone who is stupidly against progress and new technologies.



  • “Ted, none of the parents in this neighboorhood seem to be getting presents, is it because they already have such big houses and don’t need anything?”

    “Nope, his name is on the notty list, let me Google him…oh, he’s a Healthcare ceo”

    “Damn, should we even be giving his kid a gift?”

    “Might as well. If we don’t, his dad will just blame immigrants anyways. We don’t need to poison the nepo kid even more.”

    The sad thing is there is currently a vibrant open source scene around generative ai. There is a strong media campaign against it, as to manipulate the general population so they clamor for a strengthening of copyrights laws.

    This won’t lead to these tools disappearing, it will just force them behind pricey and censored subscription models while open source options wither and die.

    They do indeed want to enslave us, and will do it with the help of people like OP.





  • I buy my chips directly from China when I can. The fact is, if I buy it from a distributor here, it comes from the same place but costs a stupid amount more. I’m talking about opamps that are 80 cents from China but 30 dollars on digikey.

    The US has a greedy middle man issue. I think bringing up home grown production is good for security reasons but I know someone’s buddy is going to get all the profit and we won’t actually have competitive prices.

    Making a prototype of something is bloody expensive already, even when dealing directly with China.

    Reddit and newspapers selling their data preemptively has to do with LLMs. Can you clarify what scenario you are aiming for? It sounds like you want the courts to rule that AI companies need to ask each individual redditor if they can use his comments for training. I don’t see this happening personally.

    Getty gives itself the right to license all photos uploaded and already trained a generative model on those btw.

    They won’t need to, they will get it from Getty. All these websites have a ToS that make it very clear they can do whatever they want with what you upload. The courts will simply never side with the small time photographer who makes 50$ a month with his stock photos hosted on someone else’s website. The laws will be in favor of databrokers and the handful of big AI companies.

    Anyone self hosting will simply not get a call. Journalists will keep the same salary while the newspaper’s owner gets a fat bonus. Even Reddit already sold it’s data for 60 million and none of that went anywhere but spezs coke fund.

    If we can’t train on unlicensed data, there is no open-source scene. Even worse, AI stays but it becomes a monopoly in the hands of the few who can pay for the data.

    Most of that data is owned and aggregated by entities such as record labels, Hollywood, Instagram, reddit, Getty, etc.

    The field would still remain hyper competitive for artists and other trades that are affected by AI. It would only cause all the new AI based tools to be behind expensive censored subscription models owned by either Microsoft or Google.

    I think forcing all models trained on unlicensed data to be open source is a great idea but actually rooting for civil lawsuits which essentially entail a huge broadening of copyright laws is simply foolhardy imo.
