Terrible idea: an author writes a book, but instead of releasing it, they train an LLM on it, and release the model.

So readers can ask the LLM to generate text based on it, but can never know the original text.

@foone @vaurora I seem to recall an Asimov short story on that theme; but with autocomplete - because of when Asimov was writing it.

In the race for space metals, companies hope to cash in

Mining asteroids could reduce the burden on Earth’s resources. Will it live up to its promise?

@arstechnica @nyrath I have now witnessed two full generations of companies proposing to do privately funded space resource utilization projects either switch to Earth-orbit satellite projects, fold completely, or be taken over by scammers.

So I note how the "Asteroid Mining Corporation Ltd" is simply starting with doing Earth-orbit satellite projects.

I just saw a job listing for a company doing "home defense using AI and non-lethal deterrence"

The company's name? Sauron.
