As if wealthy people pay for stuff they could have for free. Literally everybody had their copyright infringed from the training of GenAI. Authors, Journalists, Artists, Musicians, Regisseurs, the list is endless. Unless you sue, you won’t see any compensation from them. By now you should know that companies only play fair if they’re forced to, otherwise literally anything goes.

It’s quite naive to believe they would pay for API access, tbh.

.cc and .hh feels the most serious.

But then you’re primarily extracting text, which you don’t need LLMs for. OCR tools will do the job much cheaper and more effective.

Try to optimize this away, sucker:

echo "level full-speed" | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan

Luckily I have a ThinkPad, I just run the following program and hold the fan vents against my face:

int main(void) {
  while (1);
}

Yeah, apart from the fact that I imagine that people who need alt text don’t appreciate LLM output. It‘s very boring. It’s either extremely technical and ice-cold or so cringe that you have to stop reading. Just what I think.

At least for me, if I realize that I’m reading an AI blog article or AI generated text in some other form, I don’t read it.

In my opinion, no. It has to be heavily curated. You’re not saving yourself a lot of work if you have to read it word by word (and probably correct stuff) anyway.

I think just one very short sentence describing what’s on there (it doesn’t have to be detailed) is a lot better than whatever an LLM will give you.
