<p>No, it is disqualifyingly clueless. The author defends one neural network, one bag of effectively-opaque floats that get blended together with WASM to produce non-deterministic outputs which are injected into the DOM (translation), then righteously crusades against other bags of floats (LLMs).<p>From this point of view, uBlock Origin is also effectively un-auditable.<p>Or your point about them maybe imagining AI as non-local proprietary models might be the only thing that makes this make sense. I think even technical people are being suckered by the marketing that "AI" === ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini style cloud-hosted proprietary models connected to chat UIs.</p>

<p>That is 20% of trading volume, a lot of which is day/week trading, which goes up the more they buy and sell to each other. This does not mean 20% of their assets under management are retail. The "voice" of the retail market is still tiny, it is only because institutional investors are betting with each other off what reddit is going to do that things actually move.</p>

<p>Yes, they are logging. I did not say anything about that.<p>I said it is absurd to think this is such a unique feature, it is absurd to think that the likely explanation is OpenAI stole it, rather than independently invented it.<p>If you're racing to develop AI interfaces, you should expect that one of the many people on the big corps many product teams have independently thought up obvious features like this, since before the engineering team even finished their proof of concept.</p>

<p>We used to say "what have you been smoking?" when someone said something so confidently wrong. But these days I feel a software engineer can only believe such a statement if they were: 1) high or 2) had their critical thinking bypassed due to excessive LLM-on-autopilot use.<p>I'd bet money they asked Claude if this was possible and Claude said "You're absolutely right!"</p>

<p>> the very idea of giving the user an on/off switch for LLM level memory is ours.<p>Absurd. You may have independently thought it up, but it is the first and most obvious feature one could imagine if memory is an option.</p>

<p>A bike shop or other small retail business brings jobs and benefits to the local community. A data center brings pollution and practically no new permenant jobs or benefits specifically to that community, only to the cloud.<p>But don't worry about it, this is something an $850/hr consultant is paid to not understand.</p>

<p>Because cities felt the devastating effects when industrial factories staffed with good union jobs went away, and yearn for their carbon copy replacement. These factories had ripple regional advantage effects beyond the factory workers. Armies of teamsters have to drive in and out of town to deliver inputs and outputs for industrial factories, and they all need to eat. Corporate and R&D types used to need to spend more time at the industrial factory. Put a factory in a region and a corporate office often follows. Put enough of them in the same region and you start to get an innovation hub as they all hang out and see each other at third spaces. Universities and innovation hubs mutually benefit and expand when distance matters.<p>So the industrial factory tax break model often did pay off. Data centers are selling the same story: give us tax breaks for big expensive capital investment and regional prosperity is yours. They often lie about even the direct number of jobs. But the implied regional advantage is definitely dead when it is all cloud and zoom, rather than widgets and happy hours.</p>

<p>It is absolutely infringement if you paint a picture in Ghibli style. You just have fair use to infringe in a personal, noncommercial, educational, etc. purpose.<p>Fair use is a defense to infringement, like self defense is a defense to homicide. If you infringe but are noncommercial, it is more likely to be ruled fair use. If Disney did a Ghibli style ripoff for their next movie, that is clearly not fair use.<p>OpenAI is clearly gaining significant material benefits from their models being able to infringe Ghibli style.</p>
