It's hard. I'm even in a writing club on my server and many months I struggle to devote time to it. I keep plinking away though, so that's something.

Reminds me of how David Rakoff put it "writing is like pulling teeth.

From my dick."

I really really really love his writing. I'll go and read one of his books when life deals me a hard blow and I just need to read someone who gets it.

I would hasn't definitely started a copy with my edits though. How could you not

Then at least it's over and you can go hide somewhere yeah

I have to tell you, I've read objectively bad writing and enjoyed it. As long as someone is trying to say something there will be a spark of that in their writing.

And if you're an amateur you're only bound to get better.

lemmy settings showing "Show Upvotes" unselected

Go to your settings > scroll down to "Show Scores" > uncheck all that shit. You don't need it. It's a vestigial dark pattern from commercial social media design to keep you checking how well your comments are "scoring" as if that made any sense.

It should never have been surfaced to frontend of Lemmy.

Having done both, I feel like for writing you need to dig deeper. One is logical instead of narrative, but I'd say yeah there are similarities. They're both mentally and sometimes emotionally exhausting anyway.

It's such a great episode. Because while the thing is terrifying, it's also vaguely dog-like and clumsy in some of its movements, so you can't help but anthropomorphise a bit.

But then something that looks kind of cute can still kill you dead.

I meant collectively, not individually.

Obviously as a solitary worker you're probably going to have a hard time standing up to your employer.

Tools are labour made solid. They're built by workers, and used by other workers in order to be more productive. Unlike a worker, a tool can be owned, which is why the owner class will always prefer more of the "skill" in production come from tools and processes, even at the cost of some craft or quality. Because they get more control.

Anyway LLMs are like a knowledge tool in this case. A truly devastating weapon in the class war, assuming workers agree to adopt it and help improve it.

Yeah this goes for copyright protections too. I could give a fuck about some sloperater generating Tony Stark giving Mickey Mouse a handjob, but corpos saving even $0.01 from a model tuned by scraping deviantart, other amateur sources, I can't abide.

I mean how do you enforce someone doesn't copy code from proprietary repos? You just try your best, and only come down on the cases where it's obvious.

LLM users are lazy so they inevitably just copy+paste something asinine without reading it.
