“We believe that in the near future half the people on the planet will be AI, and we are the company that’s bringing those people to life”

This quote is just… something.

Is the plan to literally create 8 billion podcasts in the near future? This company doesn’t think that might be a tad excessive?

Same here, I’ve never actually seen the term “clanker” be used in reference to a person using the AI, but the AI itself. Which to me was analogous to going to an expensive bakery and accusing the bread of ripping you off instead of the baker (or whoever was setting prices, which wouldn’t be the bread).

If there was any sort of op going on (which I don’t think there is), I’d guess it would be from the AI doomers who want people to think of these things as things with enough self-awareness that something like “clanker” would actually insult them (but, again, probably not, IMO).

Thanks.

TBF I can’t say I’m sold on the notion of watching Yudkowsky eat spicy wings while also arguing with someone.

Forgive my stupidity, but I don’t know what this means. Or it’s referencing something I don’t know.

Pretty sure I’ve heard similar things about AI “art” vs artists as well.

I think I might be missing some context here. Granted without context I’m pretty sure that strawman is still the right word.

Pretty sure that’s a strawman.

OpenAI’s tools also lower the cost of entry, allowing more people to make creative content, he said.

So, even working under the assumption that this somehow works, they still needed two animation studios, professional writers, and 30 million to get this film off the ground.

According to the article, it could be higher than 1.5 billion, though by how much they don’t really say. But they’re estimating about $3000 per book. For a class action that actually seems extremely high.

Anthropic to pay 1.5 billion to authors

That’s… quite a bit. I wonder if we’ll start to see more complaints about people reaching their token limit “prematurely” or if Anthropic will release a $1000/month “unlimited” plan or something like that.

This was written in 2015.

Looks like they already removed it.

“The home of 1999” already beat them to that.
