I mean, they should, but they won't. I'll take human typos over LLM "hallucinations" most days.

Please just bring back traditional voice to text, with its dumb but decipherable errors instead of these plausible left field LLM "hallucinations".

I'd rather the computer write that I'm coming in for a "score throat and fever" than the sort of random ass shit LLMs can throw in there.

I don't need physical media, a DRM-free download that I can save on my own will do.

All government agencies get gouged. It's absurd.

Man, you can't even teach adults that.

Maybe, but Amazon in particular will also bag/box every solitary thing. Not sure if it balances, but it's an interesting question when you put it that way.

Still, I expect they prioritize meeting service levels over fuel economy.

The same company that will same day deliver a single tube of toothpaste to my door doesn't care about carbon emissions? What?

The company benefits by convincing investors that is still growing and innovating. If investors think they are still growing their stock prices go up. If their stock prices go up then they can use their stock as an asset to borrow against or as a form of payment in lieu of cash. Stock is particularly useful to a company as a medium of exchange because they can just make more. But they can only do that without tanking the value if people are buying, and they can only keep people buying if they think the price will go up, and the only thing the price will go up if they think the company is going to become more profitable in the future.

This is basically Cory Doctrow's argument in his latest book.

That's a a public education problem.

Yes but also no.

I mean, in my opinion, making a stochastic agentic program is irresponsible, selling it as AI is unethical, and using it is also irresponsible, but there's a question of how much an average Joe Shmoe should be liable for given how the tools are marketed. It's complicated, but it's not an unsolvable problem.

It's also a matter of audience. Part of what lets Nebula work at all is the built-in audience for the creators that are there. Same with droput.tv and c5.now and even means.tv.

Peertube will work better as more and bigger creators cross-post to it. Another challenge it faces though is scaling and yes, monetization since there's no subscription system through the platform by default.
