A conservative presents as a woman as best he can and enters a restroom to prove something. He finds a love for love itself, rather than a reflection of his own hatred. He just leaves and doesn't think about it.
reading will also no longer be a part of the process, anyone interested is just gonna feed the whole paper to some LLM and say they read it. Another step toward LLMs going back and forth while we suffer
It seems like writing will no longer be an important part of the research process. It can easily be outsourced to AI.
What's going to matter is the way researchers curate their materials.
Claude Code was able to do a good job partially because I already had a well-curated list of materials, and I knew the direction of the argument.
That said, researchers will still need to learn writing because it helps you think through problems.
@cathode_dreams@iansmith06@vikare06 you hate advertising and marketing, but defend AI? You know all these models are based on stolen human work being sold back to us
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
