  • It’s intentional.

    Obviously, Google makes money showing ads during search. But they have finally bit the bullet and starting tarpitting users in search in order to show more ads.

    A quick, useful, and accurate search means that you’re on their site for the least amount of time, perhaps mere seconds. That’s not what’s best for revenue growth.

    PS: Go try Kagi and be reminded what good clean search results look like. I use it because my time has value. It’s very good.

    Assuming this isn’t just shopped, which it probably is… As a guy that bakes cakes from scratch a couple of times a year, two things:

    1. Props to whomever got that pattern into the cake, that couldn’t have been easy. Imagine: There’s a toroidal swastika in that cake.
    2. That’s one ugly-ass cake for having spent so much time on it.











  • The process of training the model is arguably similar to a human learning, and if the model just sat on a server doing nothing but knowing, there’d be no problem. Taking that knowledge and selling it to the public en mass is the issue.

    This is precisely what copyrights and patents are here to safeguard. Is there already a book like A Song of Ice and Fire? Write something else, maybe better! There’s already a patent for an idea you have? Change and improve upon it and get your own patent!

    You see, copyrights and patents are supposed to spur creativity, not hinder it. OpenAI should improve upon its system so that it actually thinks and is creative itself rather than regurgitating copyrighted materials, themes and ideas. Then they wouldn’t have this problem.

    OpenAI wants literally all of human knowledge and creativity for free so that they can sell it back to you. And you’re okay-ish with it?
