Lines are getting thinner closer to the center. This is not a gradient, but I understand what they meant. AI would use correct word for this.

Agreed, that point in the article is lacking any source. Big part of complexity of the implementation was introducing form attributes and behavior.
Slower than pages with HTML+CSS with tiny bit of JS. Much faster and leaner than current JS SPAs.
Is there a Linux server run on fully open source hardware (what would that mean btw?)? Should we stop using "open source" because almost all computers are not fully open source?
What free internet? You always pay with your time and also usually with lots of tracking and ads.
AI can easily strip any ads for fractions of a cent. AI bots can be tracked - Open Router (or equivalent) will probably don't mind. That is the point of the article - ad and tracker infested webpages will soon be struggling, and some other forms of monetization needs to come.
You forget that bots are often just AI agent working for humans. This will be more and more common. So by blocking bots (which is literally impossible but lets assume otherwise) you are also blocking legitimate customers.
Or you could just read the news and pay automatically in the microtransactional world, without analysing which journalist should be supported.
90% of people are careless and 9.9% are ignorant thinking they are safe.
Microtransactional web is only a risk in an alternative universe which doesn't have spying/tracking/profiling funded by enormous ad industry.
In our world it is a big improvement.
This is exhausting only if you don't value your time (which is the biggest cost when reading the news). People will learn how to make such decisions quickly.
It will not be same price per page. I would gladly pay more than 1$ for a great article.
Also 20$ monthly from 10 users for the whole site might be worse than 0.1$ from 100 users for a single article.
Journalism is losing to "free" "news" sites. Those need to produce cheap, clickbait slop to be able to function.
There is no Spotify for press so the only other good solution is having microtransactions - paying only for articles you want to see, from any provider you want. Currently you must subscribe even if you want to read single article so the very few that buy the press are usually limited to single news source.
The training might be political. Search for "deepseek tibet backdoor"
You were arguing against such restrictions (nor selling alcohol to minors) in the top post.
So which way it is - parents protect kids on their own or society/state helps somewhat?
Protecting kids does not equal protecting kids from spying, which is what the article is arguing against.
This is a manipulation tactic not an argument. Almost nobody wants to prevent spying on kids. Main goal is to prevent harmful content like porn, gore and gambling.
(1) is considered a cost while (2) and (3) might be called an investment. Company can lie to investors that (2) and (3) costs could be removed at any time without interrupting any important business processes.
There is a lot of space between ignoring and doing invasive dangerous operation after some blot was spotted on some imaging diagnosis.
Testing healthy person for any illness by definition has infinite number of nines in false positive rate.
Problem is we never know who is healthy. That is why we are doing the test.
How do you observe the ability to make decisions which action to take? You can observe that one does something, not that they could decide to do something.
Zero cost? How did you reached that estimate?
Training AI is often more costly than supporting human from birth till death. Just sustaining frontier LLM model on necessary hardware costs more than living in first world countries.
Self awareness, sensory stimulus and emotions are not observable - you can easily create entity that can fake those things. Any consciousness definition that uses those terms is flawed and just not useful.
Lots of discussions about consciousness yet no useful definition. All fall into one (or more) categories:
- not observable (feelings, agency etc)
- not useful (spiritual definitions, definitions that degrade into consciousness = being human/animal)
One malicious script that is run right after install vs one per each API entry point that might be called or not (transitive dependency).
Are there other merits than availability of literals in C?
It seems like one of the worst data structures ever - lookup complexity of a linked list with a expansion complexity of an array list with security problems added as a bonus.
They are saying something similar to "LLM has no soul", depending on context it might something insightful or (in technical/scientific context) they are making fool of themselves.
The biggest benefit of term "consciousness" is that when I see something like "LLMs are not conscious" I immediately know that the author doesn't know what he is talking about.
So no CSS files at all? Only inline styles?
They often require quite complex ifology for simple use cases. Also didmount and diduptade often needs to be overriden together only to have almost the same implementation. They also have some gotchas regarding state updating inside them.
Hooks made simple things simpler, but hard things harder, code with lots of boilerplate was replaced with code with leaky abstractions full of various workarounds - I don't think this is a good trade.
While I hate class component lifecycle methods they are much better than complex hook setups when solving more advanced problems.
You are contradicting yourself: either presentation is not important so LLM use does not matter (as long as core message is still there), or it is important and and LLM can change how the message is received (by improving presentation or making it worse).
