@zhenboli @pyromuffin @fasterthanlime@octodon.social yes, but it has timed effects too :ablobdizzy:

@proximacentauri @andy

“…then it’s their problem” seems to be almost universally the new approach to AI safety.

@suppi@fosstodon.org @reidrac@mastodon.sdf.org Well, everyone should.

@mike @Hey_Beth Honestly, I don't need 10x reach and I don't need to be 10x reachable by "outreach professionals" or whatever do they call themselves those days.

@Hey_Beth I was part of the early November mass-migration from Twitter.

I was on Twitter for 12 years. In 4 months flat I've gotten to 30% of my total twitter follower count—and they're all active in that period: a lot of the twitter followers are moribund/inactive accounts.

So in terms of professional reach—at least, for SF/F writers—Mastodon punches far above its weight class if judged purely on population size.

(Also, there are fewer Nazis. So it's better all round!)

@omgubuntu Looks okay to me...
Also, the left one is dark while *not* being in dark mode q:

@professordes @ColinTheMathmo Do you want to get the AIs practicing occult rituals? Because this is how you'd get AIs practicing occult rituals! :blobwitch:

@hecate @nomeata Zstd is a great rug to cover size-related issues with!

It is fast and the rates are good. It can be made even faster if GHC would ship pre-trained dictionaries.

A reason why authors SHOULDN'T sign up for ChatGPT plus accounts:

If OpenAI's billing DB leaks, and your name is in it ...

People will start questioning whether you actually wrote your books, or used a mechanical ghostwriter.

US case law denies copyright protection to AI-generated material.

Your publishing contracts typically include an assertion of sole authorship by you.

So if it looks possible that you used ChatGPT, you might end up pissing off your publisher and/or losing a book deal.

@terrorjack nah, bulk matter processing should be pretty cheap. Taking extra precautions for everything vaguely alive - that would cost some.

@terrorjack we don't even need an evil seed to be disassembled for some useful atoms (but this way we'd get overlords only metaphorically)

i think more web services should include an unprivileged command that causes a minor denial of service. i think this would be extremely funny

@graydon @cstross @fizbin @KarlSchroeder @gray17 We should taste the previously untasted insecticides! I'm sure there's some *great* stuff lays undiscovered.

@flora_pm I want to know a network-amortized amount of dependency cost I would incur on my downstream if I add this one to my library.

`aeson` dependency list looks expansive, but the package can be reasonably expected to end up in pretty much everybody's cache anyway.
`lens` has quite a Kmettverse to it, but it is already used by a lots of other packages too.
Finally, `interpolatedstring-perl6` has a relatively tiny list, but one of the items is `haskell-src-meta` which is 1) a hog for compilation time and 2) is a relatively niche.

So, `aeson` is a relatively no-brainer to add.
`lens` is kinda okay.
But when selecting a text QQ package I'd rather peek around for a few more minutes.
