"My opinion is more important than the opinions of the greatest musicians of all time, because I once built an LLM myself on 3GB of IRC logs" - superkuh, 2025

It's like thinking the greatest musicians of all time have reliable expert opinions on audio electronics. Sure, it's technically music related but the skill set doesn't really transfer to, say, ADC design.

I'm not saying I'm great. If we go back to my original comment which started this thread, I'm saying this group has few relevant qualifications besides celebrity and profit lust. Which means even I know more than them about generative and LLM AI training, and the regulatory implications, despite just being a "hobbyist" in the domain.

How could you possibly know that you know more than them about anything without knowing them? It's all assumptions

It's actually like thinking that the most influential musicians in history are somehow not qualified to step up and discuss the licensing and legal implications of LLMs, having spent half a century battling similar corporate forces, and warning the industry how history likes to repeat itself.

Get over yourself bud
