My org shot down an idea like this because they don’t want OpenAI to train on (or have access to) our codebase. I don’t blame them.

Replika is aimed at friendship and romance, it’s in all the marketing. I’m sure you saw the fiasco when they suddenly decided to filter romantic talk last week? https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3py9j/ai-compan

Do you think people are incapable of sticking to their beliefs when they’re faced with counterarguments? Isn’t that kind of a pre-requisite for believing in democratic representation?

This would only be hypocritical if he claimed in the doc that the techniques weren’t effective or were unethical. Honestly I haven’t seen it recently enough to know if he does this, just saying.

My favorite teacher in high school taught AP Calculus and learned the material one month ahead of teaching my class. I loved it. She was the best “explainer” of any teacher I’ve had. She knew which homework problems were going to be relativ

Well, IIRC Musk doesn’t technically have a salary and maybe (?) the target audience for this site doesn’t know their own net worth off-hand. So I could see why they’d make that choice.

I mean, if we somehow used Chinese every day without realizing it, then yeah that would be a fair analogy. Code is literally hidden from users.

I built something similar to this when I was first learning to program. Except mine lets you perform a one-time search for videos containing keywords, similar to how you would normally search YouTube. So there are no notifications or anythi

I feel the same way. It does seem odd, though, that Meta would release this despite the precedent set by OpenAI with statements like this. What does Meta gain by releasing this for download?

Isn’t that the current state of things? If musk makes this purchase it won’t centralize power any more, but it will draw attention to how centralized that power is. Which is a good thing
