The lumina saga continues. https://trevorklee.substack.com/p/luminas-legal-threats-and-my-about
TL;DR: Lumina guy sent Trevor a mean letter and Trevor has reworded some things to protect against libel. He still stands by the original blog post.
The orange site has some fairly milquetoast opinions.
It's hard to understand what Samuel Alternativeman hopes to accomplish by making such statements. Does he want everyone to give up on being creative and just defer to AI? Does he think that without a source of real creativity for training, his products have any value at all?
The part about him seeing racists be nicer than leftists (?) is beyond baffling. Yeah, white US southerners in 1850 were pretty dang nice and willing to help a random marginalized person out once in a while, what the fuck is the point?
why not come out and make your point instead of JAQing off?
oh no the amazingly useful discussion has been shut down by ... examining its premises! Truly a disgrace to online discourse.
oh wow re-colonizing your mouth with a bacteria that continuously produces an antibiotic is a bad idea? Who could have seen this coming???
This is like trying to install airbags on a car that can barely break 5 km/h.

Imagine going to university only to learn that the president falls for grifters that 10 year olds can detect.
It's a well recognized rule that every time Lumina comes up, someone has to mention that Aella is connected to the project. Then, someone must make a joke about Lumina adding anti-toothbrushing to her anti-showering arsenal. HN hasn't caught up to the last bit yet.
