Good point.
@David Thank you for taking the time for this! 🙏
@David Yes, I should have been more clear in my own stance on this. I of course make no presumption that concept can not be understood in one language over to another, but I find interest in the idea that some concepts become more important than others, and that context that is given weight in everyday conversation in one language is not as important in another.
This article that was shared with me is unfortunately in Swedish, but it brings to light some subtle differences in Finnish and Norwegian ways of describing spatial inference, and shows how research uncovered that this carries over to filmmaking for example.

I suppose gender is another one of those concepts that becomes interesting to me. Everyone understands gender, but in some languages it's not an important aspect of describing an event. It's easy then to assume that gender occupies the mind of some people more than others, if one is forced to consider it each time one is describing an event to another person. Not saying that is the case every time, but for me it's part of understanding that there are many factors playing into how different perspectives are formed.
@violanders
Fantastisk!! Tack för att du delade. 🙏
@ewen Thank you, that’s a really nice way of putting it 😊
@elhult
Excellent. I see how alienating could be an issue. For me it creates a deep interest in understanding more and underscores the importance of *not* being quick to judge others, especially where "translation" is involved.
@Loukas Ah, yes. This is of course true.
@Loukas Yes, they say ”it gets worse before it gets better”. But they never say if that phrase actually has a turning point or just keeps being true. 😅
@sidereal I’d say here in Sweden most of those protections are in place.
@liebach You are more than welcome to do just that 😁
@Midgard Men herrejävlar vad illa!!! Och ljuger dessutom om att ha fått uppgifter av andra...
@chromatic This is extra funny because I had this exact conversation with a friend I shared the story with.
@fbaum Yeah, I presume you're thinking of a situation where people don't introduce themselves and there is no way to ascertain that a bot is participating?
@GuyDudeman
Google Duet is the most talked about. But we also started getting pitches for CEOs of companies that make these to be on our podcast…

@thomkennon Of course. I'll likely write a longer-form post on my blog about it if you want to wait on that. But. go ahead if you want :)
@sam_c Perfectly put 🙌
@stephenpa I do like playful names, and I’m intrigued but also a tad skeptical… would that be contrasted with prototypes that are designed to *not* provoke a reaction/conversation? And would the reaction be the purpose rather than learning something about product fit and understanding?
So many questions 😅
@EFreethought
Not a bad one. I'd add that to possible and plausible. But not preferable 😉

Scraping from physical books is almost as easy now with immediate OCR. I take photos with my iPhone to copy text. By extension, the way to copyright a work then is to hide it. And nobody can buy your photos for use in their online articles....
But I agree, all of these things are historically social constructs by humans to protect something referrred to as intellectual property, and it's an interesting thought experiment to consider if we have to reinvent what author ownership even is anymore.
I've been blogging since 1997 and of course have always been aware that my content can pop up most anywhere. The way for me to demonstrate ownership has been to actually publish online to create a visible trail of references with dates. That also means I haven't expected monetary compensation for my writing though - which writers tend to do.
Still, as an advocate of ethics I am fond of the idea of consent, and am less impresssed when others make money by using my content without my prior approval. These days I use a creative commons license. If OpenAI were to follow that, their tool would have to apply the same license when ingesting my content. But all this mostly goes to show that licensing carries very little weight in the real world. Power and social standing does.
