I think a lot of it actually comes down to the perception of where the content came from. I brainstorm and riff with AI all the time, but I know what I am communicating with, I don't get the same sense of ickyness. Blogs and books and all these things that are claimed be to written by a human, but are actually just AI, is frustrating. Honestly, the content may be perfectly fine, but I feel something irritates humans when they think they have been deceived.

Reading through the first chapter, I got the feeling that it is more human than a lot of the books you might find on O'Reilly or wherever. I totally support the use of AI to help with organizing material in better ways or creating different modalities for representation. I really hate when the book is very clearly just copy pasting the output of the LLM.

Also, saw your comment response, I do feel this very same guarding and unfortunately my instinct is to assume the content is AI, which is a disservice to all the people who are putting their hard effort into putting out quality things.

I guess my first questions would be: what kind of background does the creator have in law to be able to steer this system to a good outcome? If they don't have a legal background, were legal experts and otherwise consulted to build this out? The fact that the creator is struggling with even understanding what open source is, makes it much harder to put any faith in this system.

This isn't that uncommon for many technologies, people and especially organizations who are procuring software look for signals that can offload perceived risk. These signals can be things as small as the formation of a company at all, or other ongoing partnerships which shows more social trust. Whether or not the company or provider is actually safe is a different conversation though.

I feel like its more just that correlation is not causation, a widely popular idea outside of hackers and tinkerers.

But a photography contest is not a “take a picture with your camera” contest. Post processing dictates a decent portion of “photography” and it seems like the rules for this processing are a bit of a grey area. I personally hate where it has gotten to, as a photographer, but just pointing out my observations in the assessment.

Pretty every industry these days has a software component, but software is a major revenue driver specifically in the tech sector, so of course this is where a lot of LLM usage is showing up. Tech is also a sector where "build fast and break stuff" is a common ideology, and LLMs play right into that. There is also a long warm up period to writing production code via LLMs in industries that still run a lot of their infrastructure on old mainframe code(it is understandable), banks for example, or public sector, or energy. LLMs at the current grade are still a fairly new phenomenon, it will take time.

So is every other “concept” in the world, doesn’t make them useless. You can “appreciate” yourself and your folk in a way that makes you more likely to take care of yourself and them. Scars can often have very negative effects on self esteem, and are a real mental hurdle for some people, are those feelings invalid?

I feel like if a “friend” is posting that stuff in an obituary, it sheds a little more context on their type of relationship and humor. But who knows, I guess the way you paint it, it does seem kind of rude.

Seemed to me like a nice write up with a bunch of anecdotes, I got the sense that Bob was curious, friendly, smart, maybe hopped around from idea to idea(reminds me of me!), and generally lived a good life, made some things(the YouTube video seemed interesting).

My whole point is that you can run this loop endlessly, come away with a lot of articles, yet be no where nearer to anything valuable.

Its laws in the way that a homeowner or renter signs a contract with the HOA that lists the rules that owners and renters must abide by or be penalized for breaking(fines, liens, not criminal I think)

Because in many places, having things in your front yard is not a crime? It could be car parts, could be children's toys, could be trash. If you don't have a city that enforces that, HOA or a management company which the owner/renter goes into contract with is the best way to manage that.

But this is great...there is a market for homes with HOAs and for homes without HOAs. The reason is clearly because homes that are more cookie cutter with standard features retain their value because there are fewer people on the market who want a lavender house. The HOA is partly responsible for upkeeping the homogeneity by enforcing some of these things, thereby keeping values stable. Depending on the HOA, the board can also be full of people on a power trip, but that's pretty dependent on the geographical area(looks like Florida may not be great) and case by case basis.

Right...so why would I read something trying to convince me that HOAs are making the crisis worse, and actually be swayed by it?
