@manton Ignoring the environmental impacts of training and running LLM's....
Here is a solution, pay people/orgs for the content LLM's are taking to train on. LLM's training on public content or "google zero" are both extractive and do not give back to the sites they are extracting from. A search index allows the indexer to "profit" and drive traffic back to the publisher, so they also "profit". An extractive process like this cannot sustain itself. It will end up enriching a few big players and then what? Also "near future AGI", AGI isn't near, LLM's are not AGI and not even in the same ballpark.
@bobwertz Great post. I grew up in Greenwood SC and have many fond memories of hanging out at the Cross Creek mall there. My first real job was working in the Aladdin’s Castle arcade.
@Mtt Perhaps this? github.com/readwisei...
Maybe the blind trust of OpenAI/Sam could be misplaced.
Leaked OpenAI Documents Show Sam Altman Was Clearly Aware of Silencing Former Employees

mcg.micro.blog@manton Assuming the story isn’t just PR from OpenAI, which is what it appears to be, they are claiming it was done out of incompetence, not malice. This does not help their case.
@manton Have you listened to the voice? To me what matters is if the artist that was asked to do the voice, said no, thinks the voice sounds like them. Enough so, to lawyer up.
What part of the story isn't being told quite right?
@manton But it does sound like her, and they asked her to do the voice. Even if they didn't already have a history of disregard to artists with training data.
@pratik FWIW I don't think the folks that want to leave are doing it just due to AI bad takes, but others in the past as well.
@manton We know how OpenAI got it's training data. We know they disbanded internal safety groups. In the case of the Sky voice, we will never know the truth from OpenAI's end, only some rather damning evidence of what was done in public and with Scarlett Johansson. The deference you're showing towards OpenAI is worrying.
@manton Can you point out the places where OpenAI has done something to make you trust them so much?
@petebrown Very much agree.
@pratik You’ve been using it as I meant. Thought you might be running single apps per space.
@numericcitizen Apple keeps throwing more power at a device that can’t utilize it. I think that is why folks keep hammering it’s limits. And it does have some ridiculous OS limits for such a powerful device.
@pratik I’ve you’ve been using SM with only one app/window per stage, you’ve been missing out.
@jsonbecker Dabbled with Erlang in a past life. Wouldn’t say no to a change to Elixir.
@manton I work in the Ruby/Rails world and used to admire 37Signals, Jason and David. Over the last few years they have done things that have turned that admiration into distain. Frustrating.
📺 Trying to watch Tencent’s “3Body” and the pacing is glacial.
@ronkjeffries The Deco’s are XE5300. I don’t think you can have separate SSID’s for 2.5 and 5. You can for 6, but I use that as a dedicated backhaul network. The Firewalla is a Purple.
@mmetcalfe Looks like I'm wrong. I thought you could add multiple fediverse destinations. The most you can do is have posts show up on your M.B fediverse account and one other cross-posted account.
☕️ When will I learn that an Americano is not good coffee. #coffee
@mmetcalfe Isn’t your first point possible? I believe you can setup multiple mastodon accounts to sent to.
Have been using History Book for a while now and it’s such a great tool.
Excised Eero devices from my network a while back. Replaced them with a Firewalla and Deco mesh. Highly recommend.
One of my favorite things is going to bed late, wife is asleep, phone has long been on sleep focus, I put my phone on the MagSafe charger….. BAAACHING!!!!
Come on Apple, make that sound respect Focus modes.
@odd Must have been put there when the tree was small, then grew around it. Too high in the tree for anyone to stick it on easily, recently.
An Eastern Shovel tree.
I do wonder how this happened.
Realized that the most janky website I visit is YouTube. To penalize Firefox or combat ad blocking, I guess Google thinks it’s ok to slow the site down or simply break it.
@manton Thanks for clarifying "replying". Haven't seen an issue with the feed download, it was a surprise to see happen.
@maique Musk's handling and promotion of Tesla's FSD as working well is bad enough, but pushing it to everyone like this is scary.
Every now and then my Discovery radio will slip into, music.apple.com/us/playli… mode.
Starting a new little Python project. Step one, what’s the preferred packaging and virtual environment setup this week? Almost went with Ruby, just for this being long solved problem.
Found a tiny turtle friend.
Ended up watching the entire season of “Three Body Problem” yesterday. So good. 📺
Youngest had an outdoor piano recital today. Seems like a good #ADayInTheLife choice.
We were in a car accident April 30th. No injuries, but our car has been in the shop since then. 3+ months! I really don’t want to get another vehicle, but don’t think I can ever trust this car again.
Totally thought Hijack on ATV+ was a movie. It’s a series 🤦🏽♂️
Glad Silo in ATV+ was renewed for a second season. Great show, love the intensity.
These gulls know what’s up.
On vacation this week and giving the 3.0 Micro.blog client a spin. It’s come a long way and I think it’ll be my full time client now.
My governor…..
I look forward to the day democrats are so rare we have to hunt them with dogs

Flowertown festival this weekend and traffic is extra terrible.
Enjoying the new Hipstamatic more than I should. Lack of ads and the temporary nature of posts makes it a fun distraction, but I’ll probably grow tired of all the over processed photos.
Tiny blooms on our Pawpaw tree.
🎬 I realize I am kinda late to this, but finished watching “The Batman” last night and it’s a great movie hiding in a way too long ok movie. I’d love to see about an hour edited out of it.
