This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow. Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do?

LLMs are spam generators. That is all. They're designed to generate plausibly human-like text well enough to pass a generic Turing Test. That's why people believe they're "intelligent". But really, all they are is spam generators. We have hit the spamularity.

Es gibt übrigens keinen „Streit“ oder „Konflikt“ um Grönland. Es gibt einen vollkommen durchgeknallten Imperialisten im weißen Haus, dem Recht scheißegal ist und der engen Verbündeten mit militärischer Aggression droht.

You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up Anubis to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites. This can and does cause downtime for the websites, which makes their resources inaccessible for everyone.

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep.
