You said “let them know after you already bought it” - again, why would they care?

What makes you think they would care? If they cared they wouldn’t have done it in the first place.

Words are a representation of an underlying something; LLMs do not deal with words, they deal with tokens and embeddings. There’s a transformation layer between words and inference and back.

> I highly doubt it.

Not a very convincing discussion point without some support.

How is it fraud? Who is being defrauded? What is the impact to the victim?

You can’t make a contract that breaks the law, it doesn’t work that way. It’s unenforceable and doesn’t hold up in court.

Otherwise, you could just make contracts anytime you wanted to break the law for any reason.

It doesn’t mean _inside_ the apartment. It means if they decide to film a commercial and you’re walking your dog in the background, they don’t have to ask you.

> Unikraft needed an engineer to add capacity by hand

This seems a little unfair - the _architecture_, as designed, required the human in the loop. The tool doesn’t require it.

Important to whom?

Who controls the prompt? Shareholders? And how do you have confidence that the prompt is being used? Just thinking out loud, it’s an interesting idea (even if it might be terrible and dystopian).

You might not have any say on what image is in use, for example, in a cicd library project.

You can be dismissive all you want, but the point is to acknowledge you don’t understand everyone’s situation and you can’t make sweeping generalizations like “I did it and I can judge you if you _didn’t_ do it”.

What do you think privilege is?
monkpit
·26 days ago·discuss
Privilege, yes. You had the privilege to dedicate time to learning skills required, obtaining an education, probably bias during hiring processes, etc.

Even though your position might be the result of effort on your part, you do have to acknowledge that you’re privileged to be in a position to expend that effort on what you want, instead of something else, like finding fresh water daily, or whatever. It’s not sheer will that you were born in a (even marginally) more favorable environment than others.

The term “privilege” here doesn’t just mean a trust fund nepo baby.
