It is fair use to train on books you buy. The anthropic case established that. The destruction of books is just cutting the spine so they have individual pages to scan.

What statement did I make that was unfalsifiable? I made a claim that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. That is not a claim of existence.

Are you alleging that there are far more things that takes no effort than things that takes quite a lot of effort, You might have something there. It probably holds true for a lot of things. Either that or most gutairs sold are defective.

I can't point you at any because I don't want to send a mob their way. For any instances where people have made things and revealed them to the world have been declared to have been grossly flawed by being held to a standard of sc

Why does it seem odd when people who do attempt to contribute back are attacked? AI lowers the bar to making submissions which permits flawed subissions to be thoughtlessly submitted by people who don't really understand what they are

There is a really weird perception of the importance of books as if there is a important property to be preserved in every book. This was hilighted to me by a librarian friend if mine, She said they destroy books all the time in her job, a

I'm not sure if providing a counterargument to a point not being made is a good way to argue against a field that trains people to notice when you do that.

And thus you have demonstrated the irrelevance of academic background as a meaningful data point for explaining motivations at the individual level.

People are not one person. Nobody speaks for all If you go by the original expression of the idea of the singularity, it is that the duration between significant advances has been decreasing throughout history at an accelerating pace. This

I mostly agree, except for the Messiah part. I think the optimistic excited people are thinking more 'What a time to be alive' than 'All praise be, for they have come' Which is not to say there won't be people deify

Are there any recognised examples of psychosis that has been caused by AI rather than being involved in a manifestation of psychosis caused by an already known type of mental illness?

Prioritising is when you choose something over another. A drag racer prioritises time to travel a quarter mile. Going for the Pareto is when you elect not to prioritise. It is explicitly deciding to not choose one property over another a

Almost the complete opposite of prioritisation. The Pareto points are where you sacrifice the least of anything to get the most of everything. There's the saying about buying computers. Good, Cheap, Fast, pick any two. That's wh

I think you would be incorrect. While AI could not write what what I have so far on its own. Neither could I.

If it performs the overall function but the code is a mess, then you can ask the model to describe parts of it, the structures and what the structures are for. When it shows you something that is messed up, suggest a better framing for the

I used to use Matrix. Its user experience was sub par, but in the end it rendered itself unusable to me before I had decided to abandon it of my own volition. As far as I can tell it isn't so much a protocol as a collection of apps ta
