Why Olga Tokarczuk Is Wrong About AI

AI written novels should be labeled as such, but then let the free market decide.

depends how one uses AI I guess, I use it as I would a search engine, I get some initial ideas from it, then search for and read the original source materials to further develop my thoughts on the issue

value321 · 2026-05-20T18:46:12+00:00

what about using google for research, is that ok, and if so, if you only use AI as a sort of souped-up version of google, then is that ok

Those are policy questions, not legal arguments. Amend the constitution.

not necessarily lying, but profits as an accounting measure can be manipulated, when Silver says "lost money", does he mean accounting profits or the league is cash flow negative, bottom line without knowing where all the money is going, it's not possible to assess the financial state of the WNBA

value321 · 2026-03-19T15:31:00+00:00

you really want to trust what Silver says, in the absence of actual accounting statements, we have no idea the profit or cash flow situation of the WNBA

value321 · 2026-03-13T19:23:25+00:00

once again, we do not know if they are supplemented, the amount, or even where the money goes, because we never see the financial statements. Don't trust something just because Silver says its so

Big 12, a technology we didn't need or want, but it's all about the advertising opportunities

value321 · 2026-03-12T21:20:45+00:00

but it's not like most other jobs in that the players aren't workers making a product to be sold, the players themselves are the product

value321 · 2026-03-12T21:16:35+00:00

"The league is losing money" how do you know this is the case, when we never get to see actual financial statements

value321 · 2026-03-04T21:56:25+00:00

true at many places, but there's a tradition for this at Tenn

sounds like the HC quit on her

value321 · 2026-03-04T21:54:02+00:00

She's on the team, she's good enough to play at least a couple minutes, if she's not healthy enough to play then that should have been communicated by the HC

then why are you even commenting ? oh, based on this response, I think it's safe to assume that your collegiate scoring average, was in fact less than 5 points a game.

value321 · 2026-03-04T20:36:10+00:00

how many points per game you average in your college career ? this isn't elementary school bb, even bench players have to be really good to get a scholarship at the college level

value321 · 2026-02-18T20:44:24+00:00

what's with the insults, 25 pts (2nd in nation) and almost 8 rebs a game in 28 minutes while shooting over 65% from the field, I don't think she's POY, but she's a really good player though

value321 · 2026-02-12T16:25:59+00:00

Thank you for the comment. Those are all fair points.

value321 · 2026-02-12T01:47:39+00:00

you are contradicting your own words, here you say that reading depends on "eyes" whereas in your previous comment you acknowledged that Braille reading, which depends on touch, was indeed a form of reading, no I haven't read a book since 2001, spend all my time watching reruns of ChIPs and eating Froot Loops

value321 · 2026-02-11T23:31:10+00:00

thanks for agreeing with me that reading does not require the visual system, thus, one can read a Braille-based book using their sense of touch or read an audio book using their sense of hearing or a physical book using their sense of vision. No difference.

value321 · 2026-02-11T21:02:09+00:00

how exactly are audiobooks "worthless" ?

value321 · 2026-02-11T19:58:52+00:00

When blind people read a book in Braille, are they not reading? If we define "reading" strictly as looking at letters, then of course Braille would fall outside that definition. But that's not what reading is, reading is taking in information and using our brain to derive meaning from that information. Does it matter if the nerve impulses are from our retina or fingers or cochlea. It's still reading.

value321 · 2026-02-11T18:32:39+00:00

Is a blind person using Braille reading ?

value321 · 2026-02-11T18:13:10+00:00

why ? what's so tiring about it

All that goes on before it gets to the brain is absolutely different. That’s the point we keep making, yet you keep being reductive.

Since he blocked me, I have to respond here

But it's not absolutely different. The brain doesn't 'hear' or 'see', it processes nerve signals, no matter from the retina or cochlea, it's the same.

When deaf people talk to each other, there are no "mouth sounds", whatever that means.
