And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.
My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”
Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

Á aðventunni hefur kettlingurinn minn

- reynt að stela sér skyri (AB-mjólk)
- hnusað inn um allar gættir
- laumast í mjólk þegar enginn sér til
og nú síðast í morgun
- nagað kerti
Mér finnst eins og það sé kannski e.k. mynstur hérna 🤔

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

if I see another academic describe LLMs - a tech owned by a small elite of white billionaires, built from extracting data from humans and minerals from the earth, and refined by the labor of underpaid workers in the global south - as an ‘important tool for decolonization’ I may simply just explode

Following Eurovision’s decision to allow Israel’s participation, Spanish public broadcaster RTVE has withdrawn from the contest. The announcement split the screen between Israel’s performance and scenes of bombardment and starving children in Gaza. #Spain #eurovision #genocide

Ef einhver stelur af mér hlut og notar svo eins og honum sýnist, þá er það engan veginn ásættanlegt að þjófnum sé gert að „greiða fyrir afnotin“ eftir á. Það myndi þýða í praxís að eignarréttur bara gildir ekki gagnvart þeim sem eiga pening. 🙃
I realize I could get paid (sure, SBP & me could do with more $ :) but what a waste of time the Anthroprick (sick) (sic) shit is.
I'll get paid & pass most through to authors but what parasites (derogatory) all the LLM grifters are. *This* is how we all have to spend our days because of them? Ugh.
