Yeah turns out I was wrong about that… Must’ve been thinking of some other company! My bad.

Looks like I was wrong! Consider it a human hallucination.

Oops I was wrong… My bad. Not sure where I got that from.

Owned by Amazon, FYI.

Turns out I’m full of shit.

Anomalous scenarios like a giant flashing school bus? :D

With Teslas, Self Driving isn’t even safer in pristine road conditions.

If they even continue paying federal taxes…

I went down a very similar path with my constantly bombarded Gitea server… iterating from IP blocking to Traefik rate limiting to finally settling on the nuclear option of Anubis. It’s so worth it.

Talk about one orange braincell.

Why does a worker-owned coop need to grow? Are you presuming they take outside investment / capital?

Yeah, pretty neat!

Not entirely true. You lose tickets and PRs in that scenario.

Close… I’ll download the HTML for an eBay search results page, and then a script splits it up into separate entries and feeds each listing’s HTML chunk to the LLM. I don’t bother with individual listing pages. (This falls down on some edge cases like listings that include multiple variants via a pull-down selection only found on the individual listing page. Maybe a future area of improvement.)

Self host. Just Ollama running on a machine without a GPU! I never said it was fast. :D

Made a product search script that sorts eBay listings based on total per unit price (including shipping). Good for finding the cheapest multi-pack, lot, bundle, etc. by unit. Using Qwen 3 4B and feeding it a single listing at a time to parse.

I’m not defending social media or its algorithms, but you’ve also got to look at what predated it. People used to get their news and information from news anchors and newspapers that were mouthpieces for capitalists and conservatives. So maybe not as extremist or even as effective at influence as a social media algorithm, but still not great. Personally, I don’t want to go back to relying on corporate news outlets either.

Totally, but why couldn’t Google just be straight with people on this? All the corporate speak and hedging just serves to fuel speculation—and doesn’t instill a lot of confidence in them or their products.

If a fact isn’t disputed by either side in a case as contentious as this one, it’s much more likely to be true than not. You can certainly wait for the gears of “justice” to turn if you like, but I think it’s pretty clear to everyone else that LLMs are plagiarism engines.

Lol did you even read the article you linked? OpenAI isn’t disputing the fact that their LLM spit out near-verbatim NY Times articles/passages. They’re only taking issue with how many times the LLM had to be prompted to get it to divulge that copyrighted material and whether there were any TOS violations in the process.

“In its suit, the Times alleges that, when prompted by users, ChatGPT sometimes spits out portions of its articles verbatim, or shares key parts of its content, such as findings uncovered through investigations by Times reporters, or product endorsements carefully researched and vetted by Wirecutter, an affiliate site.”
