Ok, here's the argument, as best I can tell: A coordinated slowdown is anticompetitive because it allows them to reduce their R&D spending without risking their market share, letting them pocket more of the profits. Each AI company

So basically the same kind of tracking that Facebook, Google, etc have been doing for decades?

TL;DR: all keys are known because the list was seized after the war. However, this message was not previously decoded because the German operator mistyped the key, and also used a key from the wrong day. This meant that ChatGPT didn't

I can count on one hand how many people I've met that are into programming for the love of it. For most people it's a job, and that's ok.

Well, publishers did once try using this law to sue adblockers. But they lost, using an adblocker isn't a violation of the CFAA. They also tried a legal theory under the DMCA's anti-circumvention provision and lost again.

TL;DR Amazon is mad that Perplexity's agents can browse Amazon logged-in, with a username/password provided by the perplexity user. Amazon argues this is against the CFAA because they do not authorize such use. They sued and got a

That's not what I mean. If competitors can offer tokens 15x cheaper, the big labs must have high margins per token. (which they can use to amortize training costs) >Sam Altman himself conceded that OpenAI is losing money on the $200

Unfortunately, the government doesn't want to ban data brokers because the government wants to buy from data brokers.

This is a really weak claim. The evidence they offer is just "someone somewhere says they had a discussion with AI about the topic at some point". They don't even claim to have had a proof, only to have been working on it.

Probably not. It's a millennium prize problem, a great many mathematicians have been working on it for a very long time.

That other researcher was working on a smaller related problem. He was also using LLMs to do it, so either way most of the credit goes to the LLM here.

The prize is what, a million dollars? OpenAI doesn't need a million dollars.

Nothing about this uses AI in any way. I'm so tired of people injecting it into every conversation.

>the same number of weight should be able to hold many orders of magnitude more information by being reused. No, not hold more information, perform longer computations. E.g. if you want to solve sudokus, you will need more and more loops

The point of Lean is that it can be mechanically verified by a proof checker.

How exactly does this help them? There is a lot of competition in the gift/trinket space. You could buy that birthday present from any number of sellers. If seller #183 jacks up prices, you will go buy from seller #765 instead.

Keep in mind that there is still a downwards force on prices from competition. More information does not necessarily help AutoZone raise prices because (1. everybody already knows that people who buy car parts are likely trying to fix their
