  • Huh? Have you read the news in the last couple years?

    Saying that museums aren’t in the business of current politics is somewhat naive.

    At a minimum, current politics is crashing into the museum’s business every other week. Most obvious recent example is Trump vs the Smithsonian.

    But it’s by no means the only recent case of politicians trying their hand at historical revisionism, or making partisan issues out of science.





  • I tend to agree, but I have occasionally seen my fellow AI skeptics behaving horribly towards people that decided to use LLMs in their own development of their own project.

    The Lutris drama comes to mind, but I was also not very happy to find out that the creator of Booklore had deleted his repo after being fed up with all the harassment.

    And there’s plenty more.

    Sure, it’s been forked, but what the hell people, it’s his project, which is for a self hosted ebook library anyway, nothing that’s supposed to save the world. Could you all be cool? Please? At least in the github issues?

    I even think you’re right on the issue, but just because you’re right doesn’t mean you have to be such a dick about it.





  • Indeed most of your examples are not property. You don’t call then property. (Except kicking the customer out of a restaurant)

    Of course libertarians love contracts, and love property, but in that ideology the most important thing about contracts is that they’re voluntary, and negotiated between the parties. Which copyright isn’t really.

    And I didn’t say that libertarians oppose copyright. Obviously, many don’t. I said that it’s possible for libertarians to oppose copyright without this being in open contradiction with the rest of their ideology.



  • I do know the relevant bits of Python. Learning basic Python is just marginally harder than shouting at the screen, and adding numpy and some pyqt on top of that was also not impossible.

    It was simply an example of a field where LLMs are having a lot of success, all the more reasons that this should be done as efficiently as possible rather than using the same 10 trillion parameters model that is used for everything else.

    Secondly, I have heard positive things from people using LLM for instance to review their code, and they found it very very helpful, without the soul sucking effects of having it write all their code.

    That I would happily try on my own code, but not in Dario’s cloud. And the price to get a local rig right now is way too high.
