  My understanding is that the tumor detecting machine vision is generally thought useful in addition to the radiologist’s expertise. It basically outputs “yes”, “maybe”, and “no”, which is more expertise respecting than generating somewhere thereabouts code, which the coder has to (now) validate.

  This is why I wouldn’t equate these tools. LLM code generation is marketed to do much more than machine vision for tumor detection.

  I don’t think it’s fair to compare LLM code generation to machine vision in this way. These very different "AI"s. Not necessarily disagreeing with Doctorow, but this is an important distinction.

  I came here to say this. Glad to see that it already has been said. The economy is bonkers.

  I was hoping the author would advise against using this, because afterwards your website isn’t accessible.

  I don’t think this is the answer to web scrapers, since it so adversely affects people with disabilities. The web is one of the few things that are structurally (reasonably) accessible by default even if making inaccessible websites (like the author’s now) one is possible.

  If you have to choose between accessibility or letting scrapers to access your site and scrapping accessibility, you should choose accessibility.

  I don’t think you mean “1 lb of protein”. I think it’s a around 0.5 grams per 1 lb?

  The article doesn’t say they do this. It says: “In theory, a service could charge you more if you’re on a vacation in a foreign country, instead of your hometown, because they know you would be willing to pay more. It would be the same if your phone’s battery is low and you’re trying to get home.”

  A really bad headline, but not surprising I guess.
