  • One thing about internet sources is that in general, people engage with them if they choose to. Your piss-spraying analogy only works if the users don’t have this freedom. At least for now, we the end users still have the choice to engage with LLM’s, or to choose to navigate elsewhere.

    So no, there is no randomly pissing around hoping that LLM training data is among the things being hit. It’s Big G demanding everything as LLM training data and tossing it on the heap, and someone finding that said heap includes The Onion and individual shitposters, and with their dislike for LLM’s, acting accordingly.

    Some egg-laying species do this as well. Oh, your survival is at stake and there’s now a chance you won’t be able to protect your brood of eggs? Best to cut your losses and chow down on your babies while you’re still around. Best case, you have the hardware to make more and the nutrients are put back to use.












  • This. I have opinions on waste management, please indulge a little rant, if you will?

    In my city they also now have us pay for the privilege of dumping residual waste. It’s worth noting that residual residential waste is stuffed into a silo - the users bring it to a collection point, and open it with an RFID key card. You’re sent a bill for each time this is opened.

    It’s also worth noting that the plastic bin, if it looks like they can’t sort it, they will toss it in general waste.

    These factors combine into a situation where:

    • Tossing things in the recycling bin has it end up in gen waste anyway
    • It’s cheaper for the end user to dump their residual waste inappropriately, either by stuffing it into recycling despite not going there, or by dumping it in the bushes somewhere

    Imo, fixes would include the following:

    • At the very least, using the general waste silo should not come with extra costs
    • Recyclables and residual waste should be merged into a single waste flow, which is to be recycled in general.
    • We should make work of actual plastic recycling at a commercial scale.
