@superbetsy "Cinematographic" is definitely a word. :) And some movies, even if they are shot in classic 2D, still often profit from being presented on a screen 25 meters wide. The last two Mission Impossible movies were such!
And a movie about a space adventure? Definitely a big screen! And if it has a good story, even better!
@superbetsy So, worth buying some tickets and watch it on IMAX I guess? :) Haven't been to the big screen cinema since Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, except for some rather niche but very good European movies but these we have watched on a normal cinema screen of more modest sizes.
@Datagraver @codinghorror Trump is probably using ChatGPT for creating orders "en masse"... :(
@VeeRat I am in the same place now. :(
@ralchev Зачетох се... Има много верни (за съжаление) наблюдения в този текст. :(

I enjoyed @sboots’s essay on becoming a “generative AI vegetarian”, and for a few reasons: it’s a great read, first and foremost, but also my GOODNESS is this well-sourced. Sean pulls together many, many threads here; always grateful for a map like this.

Generative AI vegetarianism

Hello, it’s me: I’m a generative AI vegetarian. The tech industry is convinced this is the future; I don’t want any of it, full stop. Why choose generative AI vegetarianism? Just like real-life vegetarianism, there are a bunch of good reasons.

@muiiio Run and adapt. I think this is the way.

@benedictc @Gargron imagine the cost of the subscription if all of those companies worked with real money and had to turn a profit from the start.

Imagine that they had to pay real copyright fees for all the content used in training the models.

Imagine that any of the illegal uses of the training data and the people that died using their products had meaningful consequences in court.

Imagine that they had to pay the full tax, the full price of the services that they use.

Technology is not inevitable. We've decided not to have asbestos in our walls, lead in our pipes, or carginogenic chemicals in our food. (If you're going to argue that it's not everywhere, where would you rather live?) We could just not do LLMs. It's allowed.
