And if you’re desperate, the back of a shampoo bottle

Never has been.

There is meaning in the endless toil, one can find peace in knowing that the boulder will never reach the top. Let go of expecting a reward for reaching the top, and appreciate the rewards in pushing the boulder.

Walking is the lazy option for me, getting into a car, driving, finding a spot, then parking just to walk to the place anyways is too much hassle

Also no surprise here that you didn’t actually read the article.

Religions are a single axiom and nothing else? Which ones?

That is literally the point of this comment thread, go back and reread it.

Ok, so if the LLM was trained by reading the books, then the LLM creators should have to buy a copy of the books, right?

Because right now the creators are pirating the books to feed into the machine.

If you reduce an entire religion down to a single axiom, then sure, they can be entirely contradictory.

But religions aren’t like that, they are each a thousand different beliefs, rituals, and directives. There are enough similarities in message to see a commonality between them.

Like you said, it’s all the same path to God, some paths are a bit more meandering than others, and some claim that there are no other paths.

And how is an LLM trained to “draw inspiration” from an author without reading their books?

You have to accept that religions can be wrong about some things to have the view that they’re all different paths to God.

Plus everyone should turn a critical eye to their own religion, every holy text and every doctrine has both wheat and chaff.

That Tolstoy book sounds interesting, I’ll have to check it out.

There are versions of the Bible where Big J’s words are written in red text, that’s what I would recommend to people so they focus on the part that matters (for Christians)

Who’s watching marvel movies for free, legally? Who’s listening to RHCP’s entire discography for free, legally?

Not the people training AI, they’ve been caught pirating their data multiple times.
