Unenforceable - sure, but it's interesting and I see the logic. While LLMs are extremely useful, I find they homongenise things. Claude text is instantly identifiable and now all my co-workers presentations and docs sound like it. I'm sure that extra effort helps differentiate things (so many LLM generated sites look the same so not many people put in the effort).

A project without everyone putting the same filter between them and the work they submit might help a project evolve in interesting and different ways.

That makes it even worse. A leak is still a leak even when you haven't notice it. Personally I use HIBP but I would still be annoyed to learn a system I installed mainly for privacy was sending private data to a third party by default.

Agreed. The recent Epic Games story (mass layoffs followed by the remaining staff being forced to use AI to crunch) is more in line with reality as I see it. I've been told by management to 'use AI' when I really need to hire.

It's the narrow end of the wedge.

Prescribing medication for acne, some of which can have serious side affects like depression, is general medicine.

I'm not sure whether the people developing these spam tools simply lack the imagination or empathy to see the world through the eyes of other people or can but don't care. Or maybe the "grindset" / "maxxing" mentality demands callousness by its very nature.

... if you can afford the ever increasing cost of hardware, a rise directly caused by the same AI companies.

Just ordered. Love these kinds of books. Any others like this one people are aware of?

An "open" healthy organisation does not stack the cards during major policy discussions by forbidding major arguments against the adoption of a position its backers clearly want. The author is right to call that out. It was an extremely disappointing move for Rust to make.

Well, one did suddenly develop the need to tell users continuously about apparent white genocide in South Africa.

Many of the UK's post-Brexit trade deals have been the previous EU one with a slight tweak. Even the much touted US beef deal was built on an EU scheme and was rather minimal at that. It's not surprising then that the EU and UK are similar. The lack of UK growth over the EU is a big indictment of Brexit from an economic perspective.

A huge thank you to the KDE team. Plasma is good (finally) on Wayland for me (AMD graphics, single hi-dpi screen). I finally switched over from GNOME and I am happy with the experience.
