I think I understand why you're coming from the angle you are - in an economic ecosystem where everything has been optimized to the nth degree, to take any action that's not in service of the most optimal strategy puts you at an economic disadvantage, and so the resultant incentive is for companies to not give an inch on anything that would disadvantage them against their competition. I understand that that's the competitive incentive.
guys fencesitting comes from going to gpt and asking "argue against piratesoftware" & "argue against skg" then slapped a shitty video combining both terrible standpoints, shifting goalposts and making analogies that are already covered.
List of "absolute geniuses" he would love to stream with: Josh Strife Hayes, Asmongold, Mutahar, Nuxtaku, and some other guy named Nicholas something or other.
Good. Fuck 'em.
Semi-related question. Why does ChatGPT love the em dash so much? One time, for fun, I had chatGPT read and critique a shortstory I wrote. I did this to compare the critique I got from an actual writer. And for some reason, the biggest change GPT wanted to make was using em dashes every 3 fucking sentences. It's good to use rarely, sure, but GPT wants to fuck the em dash and have it's babies.
This annoys the shit out of me too because I'm someone who writes a lot of run-on sentences and likes to divvy them up with dashes and semicolons. Now I have to watch my back and wonder if everyone reads my comments and thinks they're written by GPT or some shit.
Motherfuck-
Okay, now I definitely know I wasn't being clear enough - did I come across like I was defending that perspective? Lmao. I understand how it works and I dislike that it works that way, I was just trying to lay it out why I think Libertarian-types had a kneejerk negative reaction to the initiative.
It's probably just a quick and lazy watermark from them to indicate when text is GPT generated.
Because em/en dashes are used a lot in actual scientific papers. Which is one of the main sources for training data. And also, the people dealing with supervised training really like them as well.
for that specific example it's probably trained on so much literature that happened to use em dashes it's tricked into using them in everything thinking everyone should be a fucking nobel laureate.
Nah, I think that was on me, I ascribed that intent to you without realizing despite the implication not existing in your post, that was my bad. I have a habit sometimes of losing track of some of the little details and accidentally inventing some assumptions. I think most people tending only to go to bat for their own opinion tends to lead to a situation where, when it's not explicitly clarified, people assume that a point someone's making is their default position, but I don't think anything you wrote in your post necessarily categorized you as on that side.
Oh boy Jason is going to be seething into his pillow tonight.
Because it's the most versatile and useful piece of punctuation in anyone's writing kit—if anything it's underutilized by non-robotic writers.
I think the line separating colloquial use of it from literary use is whether the person goes out of their way to fetch an actual unicode em dash rather than just throwing in a hypen ad-hoc in things like casual discussion in forums and stuff. The intent is the same, but the extra effort in a context that doesn't seem to "call for it" as much makes it seem artificial.
this is just another cow from the same breed as Jason. Acts like he knows what he's talking about, tries to come off like he cares about the industry and shit. Hell, he even youtuber sighs when you start the video and he's just as fucking phony as Jason is.
Mald sure gets a lot of respect out of Indians..... Don't they worship cows? Might explain it
