I don't think its necessary. When everything is AI slop, people most likely will revert to trusted sources.

Just give up and don't even try. This is what I am getting from this post. There are already efforts to pollute musical data that seems effective.

A trillion dollar IPO buys a lot of politicians to make these illegal.

They are scanning "rare" books. I presume there are not a lot of copies left to throw out.

I was wondering what the pro book shredding take was going to be. Why destroy the book after scanning? You can create a beautiful library of rare books with all the AI debt bubble.

Glad you brought that up. Because we fixed it. Now because of ignorance, we are not fixing this. As a person without kids, its not my problem. Strange that anti-science conservatives wants us to have more children while willfully destroying their future.

Nah, AI writing is overwhelming real writing but contributes nothing new.

Perhaps you shouldn't use Grok.

Didn't OpenAI attack Huggingface. Looks like a publicity stunt.

What is sus as hell is the US government. It is incredible how people here are accepting things that was outrageous a few years back.

Musk has politicised Grok by manipulating it respond in his world view. You comment is extremely depressing.

The biggest threat to the hyper-scalers is small bespoked models run locally. You don't need the world's stolen information to run a small project containing locally trained data you collected. But you do need to block everyone if you want to capture the entire market and get the trillion dollar valuation.

How do you deal with the lack of cognitive engagement? I think it is the primary driver of developing and maintaining skills as well as generating new ideas. Letting an agent do it for you will just get you average but well formatted code. Not something new.

But you Americans hate taxes. You spend like a European country and tax like an African one.
