That surely won’t result in an alarming use rate of words like n****r and f****t. Hell, that’s the window of the hit YouTube video entitled “N****rF****t” starring… A member of the defuct comedy group (Derrick Comedy) that made the film, Donald Glover.

Bizarre how fast the changes we’ve seen have happened. The video was purposefully ‘edgy,’ but still.

I hate that the headline is putting it as a foregone conclusion.

Instead of something along the lines of: Will the government allow this massive theft of intellectual property of average Australians?

And they will probably use the energy equivalent to a small nation to do the training. LLMs are great.

Their data centers are 100% powered by renewable energy. Google is 100% carbon free. It’s not as bad as you think it is.
