?? The United States and Europe routinely do the same thing - I think that other countries would do this as a "screw you" to US/EU just as much.

Sorry, yeah I said "Russia/China" but meant more the non-West.

It's ridiculous how any rich person accused of fraud in the West can take asylum in Russia/China and vice versa.

And yet somehow the GP managed to reply defending drunk driving as victimless instead. Sometimes analogies can be useful to reveal people's bizarre ideological commitments.

By some, you basically mean libertarians right?

I'm not really up in arms about OpenAIs decision, but I just don't want people to frame this as "why can't more companies release models like OpenAI does" when in reality the opposite is pretty much true. GPT-2 wasn

You've actually got it backwards. Releasing model weights has been common for a long time, it was OpenAI that regressed and refused to release its GPT models until it released GPT-3 hidden behind a semi-public API. The google BERT mode

To me, Javascript objects are gross, but TS has done away with a lot of that mess.

Honestly the library doesn't seem that hard to understand, although it can be under documented at times - I found looking through the source very helpful.

I disagree with how you define "model" to mean the parameters, rather than the form of the relationship between input and output. I don't think every time we make a new estimate of the electron mass, we are creating a "n

Why is it bad to pass judgement on something that has a use? Murder might also have a use, but I feel free to pass judgement on it.

Adversarial examples probably exist for humans too, they are just less easy to find since we can't easily backprop through human judgements like we can a bunch of array multiplications and dot products. Doesn't mean that they are

I think that modern BPE and techniques are more than sophisticated enough to handle things like this.
