The people who connect a LLM to their Paypal and CLoudflare accounts perfectly deserve the consequences, both positive and negative.

I believe it's the core of the argument of the author: she wants to link porn to cruelty at several places without offering any argument in favor of it.

Paradoxically, I could offer a starkly different argument - it is women who prefer BSDM if you look at the sales numbers of certain books.

That was my first thought: any woman can easily get into any level of "production" now and get direct profit from it, and also leave it without much stigma, sharing the same platform with non-nude celebrities. She can also control the amount of experience that is delivered to the "fans". It's incomparable with the situation from the 80s/90s.

This interview makes no sense. Maybe she actually had some arguments in her book but she didn't express them in this article.

Paradoxically, I'd have a more sound argument if I wanted to argue for the opposite (or, more precisely, the disappearance of sexual intercourse form Hollywood moves - it was omnipresent in the 80s and even 90s).

It's shocking how much American soft power diminished in such a short period. White House documents used to mean something, had a certain weigh, whereas now some of them are simply ridiculous. This one in particular is not particularly bad even. Although we know who inspired it and that, given the fact that DeepSeek made their models available and OpenAI didn't, whatever is written should be taken with more than one grain of salt.

> I suppose it's disruptive but if they just showed basic competence they would probably get away with much more.

Yeah but if you were a competent person in a position to work for them, would you do it? I believe there are relatively few smart people willing to go down this hole precisely because they can understand the consequences.

> That last part is actually the easiest, and if you're spending inordinate amount of time there, that usually means the first two were not done well or you're not familiar with the tooling (language, library, IDE, test runner,...).

I'm not sure if you're familiar with modern JS frameworks.

> Most kids won't do difficult things if you don't push them.

I roughly classify parents in two groups: (1) like the author of the article, (2) like you. Based on my limited observation, neither can be claimed to give optimal results, and it more boils down to "see what actually works for your kid in the long term" which unfortunately far too often can only be definitely said in hindsight.

If determinism is a hard requirement, then LLM-based AI can't fulfill it by definition.

Lambdas do require runtime updates. This means nothing happens for a relatively long time and then suddenly the lambda stops working. If you don't have many dependencies, upgrading the runtime is easy. But if one of dependencies requires an older runtime, it's better not to wait until the last moment.

To people downvoting the above comment - could you explain your reasons? You may feel all arguments have already been said on this issue but the situation is different today. And especially young people, whether white or colored, feel they have more bleak future in front of them than the previous generations and basically refuse to reproduce globally. In this light, it's worth having this discussion again because it is not the same.

It's all true but they have one advantage over everything from the last two decades or so: latency. Obviously it's double lost if you try to reconstruct just the aesthetics.

> And don't let me get started with Sam Altman.

Why not? That's one of the reasons I visit HN instead of some random forum after all.

I just wanted to reply how wrong you are and that the OP's version would be literal if "de" was used instead of "à" but just writing that made me realize that I'm completely wrong and you are totally right. That's a rare moment and I decided to celebrate it by making this comment. Thank you!

Are the differences between Google Books and LibGen documented anywhere? I believe most models outside of Google are trained on the latter.
