A million times this! I haven't re-read it once, and I started in the 90s. This book series hada big impact on me. I named my son after a character, in fact!

Now it's been like 20 years since the last three books came out I think I can read it almost fresh again. Obviously I know the major plot points, but I bet there's so much I've forgotten.

How much does it cost if οne person imagines it, generates an image, shares that, and 10k people see the image, and avoid imagining it?

The company I worked at got acquired by a big tech company. We're switching from Google suite to Microsoft, Mac to Windows, Slack to Teams, etc. It's pretty painful as transitions go, and if not for golden handcuffs I'd be gone.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be happy with Visual Studio though, so I use Jetbrains Rider.

When I deliver it as a response to a request I have to deliver the gzipped version if nothing else. To get to a point where I'm poisoning an AI I'm assuming it's going to require gigabytes of data transfer that I pay for.

At best I'm adding to the power consumption of AI.

I wonder, can I serve it ads and get paid?

This is surely trivial to detect. If the number of pages on the site is greater than some insanely high number then just drop all data from that site from the training data.

It's not like I can afford to compete with OpenAI on bandwidth, and they're burning through money with no cares already.

I completely agree. I don't even like it when the human reader clearly doesn't understand what they're saying, so some AI flatly telling me the story isn't going to cut it.

For the humans, someone mispronounced "quay" for example. "La Jolla" was another standout mistake that took me out of the story.

I was looking to cut down on subscriptions and picked Netflix as an experimental one. I haven't missed it at all. Things like this make me less likely to occasionally reactivate for a couple of months as I was originally planning.

I wonder when they'll see a big enough effect to break their current run of fucking over their customers.
