people who enjoy making it won't be able to afford to do it, alternatively only rich people will have means to do so. So I guess thats progress in some eyes

Amazing or not, that is not the discussion. LLM output can look amazing as well but that's not what I'm arguing about. Also with LLM's we'll reach a point when everything is made out of samples (metaphorically speaking), where do we fit original content then, or who will make it if it means it's going to be consumed by data centers immediately.

How is it progress if it stops people from sharing. It just reduces everything to the lowest common denominator. Or how is it progress if the data centers just eat up all the components skyrocketing the prices for regular people.

If a song was made purely of samples with no original input I'd argue it's in the same category. Maybe AI uses less of any individual song, but does AI make something actually original and transformative or is it just bits and pieces of all the things it learnt on (in simplified terms)? I think that's where the discussion lies.

there is nothing intelligent about an LLM

Why are we glossing over the fact that it's all trained on stolen code, stolen art, stolen books? It's unethical to use it, it's unethical to take money for it. It should be either free or killed. I really don't understand why we just collectively accepted that.

You can always install KOReader on Kindle to get the painless wireless transfer as well. It can even sync wirelessly with Calibre.

That's a light meter, not exposure compensation.

I'll believe it when I see it. So far time has shown the opposite is true.

polished product, and LLM generated code should not be put in the same conversation.

Can we go back to separate forums? That was a better time.
