the political takes here couldn't be more off. wow.
I'm not anti-the-tech-behind-AI, but this behavior is just awful, and makes the world worse for everyone. I wish AI companies would instead, I don't know, fund common crawl or something so that they can have a single organization and set of bots collecting all the training data they need and then share it, instead of having a bunch of different AI companies doing duplicated work and resulting in a swath of duplicated requests. Also, I don't understand why they have to make so many requests so often. Why wouldn't like one crawl of each site a day, at a reasonable rate, be enough? It's not like up to the minute info is actually important since LLM training cutoffs are always out of date anyway. I don't get it.
if those companies cared about acting in good faith, they wouldnt be in AI

In my opinion Zig is elegant except for one thing: cannot attach data to error.
https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/2647
You have to workaround by things like passing into a pointer to error object.
this is because attaching a payload requires asking the question of who and how the memory of such a payload is managed, and Zig the language never prescribes you into a particular answer to that question.

what?? how do you square that circle. deciding to go contribute to the very thing that steered your path off course
posts like this need to mention capitalism if they want to be taken seriously
