Since we're talking about it, and I really like the guy's work, I figured I should say who coined it! Author, Cory Doctorow! He has a blog where he (among all the other stuff he writes about) defined the word, and wrote several articles about it.

That's because all the good shit* comes from humans.
*but also so much bad shit. So so so much bad as well.
The Luddites weren't anti-technology, and never were.
Luddites were always focused on not being ripped off by capitalists. Further reading below.

Okay, but openai was open source once. And then they just didn't change their name when they changed their licenses. Which I actually think is more dishonest.
I'm sorry, but preemptive apologies are fine.
Anyone telling you otherwise is anti-Canadian. 😜
This is actually huge.
I'm far FAR from an Apple user, but the moment this is available, I'll be seeing if I can install FireFox with µBlock Origin on my partner's phone.
Tangentially related. Does anybody know if there's a browser extension or database that collects the obviously LLM generated websites?
I run into lots of websites where all I think is "this can't possibly be a human writing this, right?" All I can do is show it to my friends and family for validation.
I haven't played the new one, but I'm also a heretic who enjoyed Agents of Mayhem quite a lot. I've almost 100%'d it.
I also played SR:4 and Gat Outta Hell. Loved 4, never quite finished Gat Outta Hell.
My main gripe with the new Saints Row? It was a FortniteLauncher™ exclusive. I won't buy it until it's on a deep deep sale on Steam. I chose Linux, and they support my choice. Exclusives aren't good for an open market, and I hate what Epic has done so brazenly to young audiences with predatory monetization, intentionally addictive systems, and dark patterns.
If a certain group of workers is too critical to be allowed to strike, then they're too critical to be forced to work in poor conditions. "Back to work" legislation should not exist to bind the workers, but bind the companies.
"Sorry, you're too important to Canada's infrastructure, you can't be allowed to mistreat your workers. As punishment for letting it get this bad, you must agree to ALL of their terms, and in return, they'll begin working first thing tomorrow. Guess you should have been more agreeable BEFORE the strike."
I dunno, forcing strikes to end in any situation seems dangerously close to forced labour. But maybe I'm just a dirty commie.

That's a specific brand. The generic item is called a pogie.
