Proving this is a very high bar to meet for performance reviews. Most formal performance reviews will be on a carefully worded standard form where literally nothing the manager selects can be libel, and even for informal references, most

I don't think that this is a "well known term of art" - IMHO in all the articles of last year and earlier (so before the trademark application and chatGPT proliferation) when I've seen "GPT" used it was always

IMHO there is no "punishment" for dissenting views. If you post something that gets downvoted into oblivion, well, the only outcome is that the community refuses to engage with that post (which we should be free to choose) but it&

They applied for GPT-3 back at december 2020; however, the trademark application for "GPT" (without the numbers) is a relatively new one, from december 2022.

Nominative reference to OpenAI's GPT would not be restricted, however, if you'd want to assert that the thing you made in your experiment is GPT or GPT-like, that might be iffy.

I get a feeling that this wasn't planned, that this "just happened" after the release of ChatGPT and by that time it was obvious that "GPT" was the brand people were talking about and you can't simply turn the

It's not copyright, it's trademark. It doesn't affect the ability of others to build GPT-like models, but it would prohibit others from calling whatever they build 'somethingGPT' or 'GPT-5'. And if someone

Not really, trademarks are industry-specific, and having a registered trademark in another industry where there is no reasonable confusion is not an obstacle. For example, "Oracle" is a valid registered trademark for cigars and fo

The licensing costs you list are tiny and irrelevant as a revenue stream, and seem just like something in the ballpark to cover the overhead (legal, etc) of that licensing and distribution. For a manufacturer making a million devices, a lit

They're probably treating it the same as refusing to open a safe given a valid warrant; the rights against self-incrimination do not extend to protecting the contents of your safe, drawers, private letters, etc, and also to the content
