  Huh? What do they need permission for?

• It’s not a secret: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupe_LDLC

  When I’m buying components I check 17 different stores of which 3 are in the mentioned group.

  The article is suggesting that the consolidation of these 5 store-fronts is responsible for the higher prices of components in France compared to Germany. Given how many other (large) retailers there are, including all of the other stores in Europe that ship to France, this surely cannot be a significant contributor to the price difference. You’d need to produce some pretty solid evidence to make that conclusion, and this isn’t it.

• I don’t use Waterfox but if I did, this blog post would not make me feel particularly good about continuing to use it. It’s not so much what they did say but more what they didn’t say.

  Does this mean Waterfox is slop?

  Apart from my detestation of the overuse of this word, no, it is not. Every line of code is my responsibility, the art and design is either done by myself, oftentimes poorly, or I pay someone.

  I think someone who wasn’t using LLM code-assistants would phrase this unambiguously. “Every line of code is my responsibility,” dances around the subject.

• The camera-free glasses, code-named Luna, will still feature an array of six microphones to allow users to speak to the company’s AI chatbot and its recently-released AI assistant, called Muse. They’ll presumably pick up audio from users’ environments as well, where bystanders may not be aware of the eavesdropping.

• You’re right, and this article is spouting nonsense. If you have to request the /goto link in order to get the URL then you’ve already been tracked by Google (or blocked if they think you’re a scraper), and following the Location header is exactly what your browser would do anyway. That’s how HTTP redirects work.

  This article is from a company that offers APIs to just proxy Google search results, so they’re exactly the kind of people that Google is trying to block with this change. Reading some other posts on their site (eg. the one that explains how to follow the Location header) there are obvious signs of slop, so this whole article is probably an AI hallucination.

• This seems like a series of straw-man arguments that conflate separate issues that get separate criticisms.

  Yes of course there are a large number of people that criticise any use of generative AI, whether it’s for good or bad. But this doesn’t mean that every criticism involving AI is a criticism of the use of AI, rather than a criticism of the way that it is being used by the person using it. You would have to be extremely inept to make that mistake of comprehension.

  In the case of a politician creating fake speeches of their opponent, I can’t believe for a second that the criticism in this “social media mini firestorm” is focusing more on the use of AI than the fact that a politician is committing gross misconduct. If I saw people making that mistake on social media I would assume that it was a deliberate attempt to divert attention from the politician onto the AI tool by the politician’s PR team because again, you would have to be extremely inept not to see the actual source of the controversy.

  In the case of the use of AI to find military targets in Iran resulting in the bombing of a school, the criticism is clearly that the person who has ordered this system to be used and everyone in the chain of command who didn’t point out what a bad idea it is, is grossly incompetent (or callously careless, or suffering AI psychosis or all three). No matter how pro-AI you are, everyone at this point should be acutely aware that if you can’t trust an AI to set a calendar reminder and not delete your hard disk, you sure as shit can’t trust it to choose which point on a map of another country you should fire missiles at. To think that this furore was because they used AI at all rather than what they were using it for you would have to be extremely inept.

  So what is the motivation of this article? It feels like a completely unnecessary defence of AI as a technology against criticism it hasn’t received as a way to distract from the less defensible criticism that it has received.

• Typical “centrist” playbook. This guy is an AI booster pretending to be on the fence with no vested interest.

  I have no particular financial interest in AI companies. I own whatever the standard share of them is via boring index funds. I have some seed stage investments, but just due to the timing and what’s gotten big, that part of my portfolio is underweight on AI.

  Oh just a few seed stage investments, I’m barely even a venture capitalist, bro. My portfolio is light on AI, bro. These people live in a world where they think we’re all seed-stage investors.

  And I’m not even going to address the flaws in his arguments because as soon as he pulls up revenue numbers and completely fails to mention the circular investments that are goosing the numbers you know that this is a disingenuous piece.

  But it’s often pretty hard to address that, because every article he writes is a 10k word gish gallop.

  Yeah, that sounds familiar.

• There is no “reasoning” or “collaboration,” it’s just random text being generated, based on the context window and all the human-created training data. It should be obvious that a statistical model generating output that represents the training corpus is going to generate nonsense like this, when the training corpus includes everything ever written by people. The whole concept of “alignment” is insane. Think about it.

• Maybe if you chose one tiny sliver of human cognition like memory and isolate it

  But if we’re playing that game then computers exceeded human cognition 80 years ago when ENIAC replaced human computers at doing arithmetic. If you count mechanical computers then it’s 1000 years ago when mechanical tools were used to perform astronomy calculations.

  Generative AI hasn’t produced anything that exceeds human capability in any field. It’s probably impossible for it to exceed human capability, since it’s a statistical model of human output.
