Hardly likely to be the default

You fully cant exist in modern society without ethical problems. You draw your own line.

If you’re not giving money, and you’re ensuring your plex-shared friends arent giving money, thats a valid enough degree of separation for many, potentially most.

Nothing happens in a vacuum.

Insecurity is applied through marketing and social pressure, financial stupidity is a failure of schooling.

Im not saying they’re great people and you should love them, just trying to live up to my name.

They wont let it die. Look at Boruto.

Prepare for Two Piece.

In ‘5 years’.

Sometimes it can be nice to have a consistent ongoing side project tbh. I started one piece when it had about 800 episodes, took ages but its far from a slog, killer story all the way through.

I still feel for their neighbours, and to some degree trucks being fielded as the pinnacle of masculinity has turned a lot of fragile men into victims but thats a little less salient.

Few names are more appropriate, especially when night time zooming are happening. The demon watches

The same thing has been happening in music production for the last few decades.

Its gotten easier and easier to make music, so the market is flooded and the average quality is lower.

But at the same time I would say there is also more music in the good tiers than there used to be. Certainly the variety has exploded.

What id say is that in neither case is it really a problem if its in an ecosystem that already has some form of rating system.

Shit apps existed before AI, and they fell into oblivion with 1 star ratings. The same will continue to apply moving forward.

Most important step is to decide exactly where you want to draw the line.

Tbf odds are usually in favour of playing it safe, big spiralling scandals are the edge cases.

It is better to stand something from a moral point of view though, for sure.

Corsodyl mouthwash, according to my dentist, is not supposed to be used every day because it can permanently alter your sense of taste. Corsodyl specifically.

Thats only 1 dentist though you’d have to ask the other 9 to know for sure.

Unlikely, most gamers are kids, most kids are totally agnostic to anything beyond the consumption of games.

I mean people play what they enjoy and not everybody cares about chasing frames.

Denuvo making games run worse is fucking garbage, but two things can be true at once.

You started by saying they produce the issues, but are now explaining what I said above, that they are a product of upstream social issues.

Is this worth discussing.

Usually id agree but im not sure that really applies here.

You’re confused, those things are the outputs out late-stage capitalism.

Arguing against something I didn’t say. I never claimed companies “by default make good decisions.” I said thousands of independent companies and individuals repeatedly choosing to pay for a tool is reasonable evidence that it provides some value to them. That’s not some corporate infallibility, it’s revealed preference.

Your personal observations are anecdotes. If your claim is that LLMs are far more often harmful than useful, support it?

Then we’ve narrowed the disagreement quite a bit. You accept that LLMs can be used effectively, you’re just asserting that they’re misused far more often than not.

But both that and “anyone with eyes can see thousands of companies are wasting their money” are still just restating your conclusion baselessly.

Widespread use alone isn’t conclusive proof of productivity, granted. But your alternative seems to require assuming thousands of companies are all independently making the same stupid decision, spending real money on tools that provide no value, while you’ve correctly identified what they’ve all somehow missed.

Corporate adoption can be wasteful, and some uses absolutely are poor. But that doesn’t establish that LLMs don’t improve productivity. At most, it shows the gains are task-dependent and easy to misuse.
