I think we need to stop using the term "dupe" as if there was some originality somewhere that was not built upon or copied what already existed.

- QuantumGood 3mo ago"Good artists copy, great artists steal, the best artists make lies seem true." – Steve Jobs. Actually, Jobs self-servingly refactored then misattributed to Picasso the line, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." Jobs did seem to properly remarket Picasso's intent, though, as Picasso had said: "When there's anything to steal, I steal." "What does it mean, an artist copies? It is normal. The important thing is to do it better." "Art is a series of masterly thefts."

- QuantumGood 3mo agoLove the AI format with obvious misunderstanding to this and all your other comments; makes it much easier to find AI bots like yourself.
- goolz 3mo agoThat last line is wonderful! Thank you for this man. I honestly like the original more despite it's wordiness.
- all2 3mo agoThis makes me think of John Williams, an artist of great renown known for things like the Raiders of the Lost Ark OST and the Star Wars OSTs. All of his stuff (or most of it) is repurposed and refitted chunks of other classical works. The beautiful part is, he does it so well.
- marginalia_nu 3mo agoTaking inspiration is one thing, this is just a knock-off. The visual language is nearly identical. The difference is in whether you are building upon something else, or just copying it wholesale and contributing nothing of your own.
- nonethewiser 3mo agoPlease explain where frontier models were copied from. Have LLMs always existed?
- zkmon 3mo agoDid they invent everything that went into those LLms?
- nonethewiser 3mo agoMy argument is strengthened by the fact that they didn’t. There is so much technology between the raw data and the model itself. It’s absurd to suggest LLMs are simply a product of the information.
