luis villa, who as a lawyer really should have known better, being self-reportedly a friend of behdad and a confabulation/war machine promoter decided to come to rescue, calling the above (a) attack, and (b) slander.

obvious take is obvious

yeah, that was too much to expect

perhaps the fact that claude was used in war planning will give them a pause.

you’re misreading the room.

call out his confabulation machine usage, and the block will be quick

my apologies, i tend to visually stereotype stalinists very badly.

i’m all for abolishing copyright on the first day after we have introduced mechanisms that allow the artists to actually earn decent money from ther work taking into account the specifics of the work. and no, UBI doesn’t count.

it is so nice to see the hard-mustachioed leftists to think that real labour happens only at a steel mill (because even kolkhozy aren’t real enough for them to care about the freedom of movement of the peasants.)

so, dude’s a stalinist (and let me repeat myself) and dumb as fuck. i fucking love the totalitarian left, in so many aspects undistinguishable from any other type of totalitarian gobshite.

fucking nazi safety officers everywhere these days.

ah well, that explains things.

this doesn’t mean that the paper is any good or doesn’t deserve mockery (i don’t know, i didn’t read it yet, and i’m not sure i have apparatus to make other than esthetic judgements), just that the conclusions the og skeet author attributes to the paper aren’t the paper’s conclusions.

before you order the cavalry charge, fwiw this skeet misrepresents the actual study topic rather badly, as another bluesky commenter notes.

it’s full of quotable bangers like this, and it’s hard to choose the one to quote, right.

the virile space men will have

i’ve heard they like to read sf, they might want to read heinlein’s luna stories and miss the point entirely

here’s another very good take from baldur bjarnason, answering the question if he had hardened his stance against LLMs.

(the answer is “not exactly”, and you want to read the whole thing, because the answer itself is the least interesting part of the essay.)

intellectual elite my arse.

being a member of the old boy club beats ideological differences.

happy to hear it!

one or two minor snags I still need to solve (such as back-kill-word not working in search, just haven’t looked into it yet)

there’s a separate key config for search mode which may give you what you need.
