If you ever have the chance, his Sagamore Hill house in NY is worth a visit. Itā€™s kind of batshit in a sort of charming way.

Misogyny, like racism, is a hell of a drug.

Worst of itā€™s passed us by. Backyard flooded a bit. RIP my wood pile.

I can imagine few things I would enjoy less than conversing with some faked up approximation of my father. I would cheerfully have dental surgery first. The idea that they think this is acceptable makes me want to break things.

There are good things about not having an algorithm to push stuff in your face, but it did have its good points, like surfacing stuff you might have missed!

It's a very odd take. While, obviously, you can never have the same experience twice, it doesn't follow that you should then avoid repetition entirely. If I made a meal and it was really great that doesn't mean I should never make it again, even though it won't be the same next time.

I think training itself almost has to be a transformative use, but there would be potential uses of the subsequent models that would result in copyright violations. The ideal outcome in my mind is if there are some fairly strong guardrails around commercial use, but broad freedom for research uses.
