Isn't it annoying how hard it is to ban behaviour you don't like without risking banning behaviour you approve of. What's a progressive authoritarian to do?

It's difficult for writers to account for every ill-educated whiner who might read their work.

I don't know. Some of the semi-literate gibberish I often have to deal with in Slack conversations might benefit from a pass through an LLM.

> we're now on our second unelected Prime Minister Sunak is as "elected" as any PM we've ever had. That is, no PM has ever been elected to that position. They are always MPs selected to lead their party by other MPs.

You probably shouldn't let a 13-year-old use a table saw without supervision either.

Maybe; he's using it as a Plex server.

Amusingly, I searched for Kagi's founder and the new public records search section in the main results showed his citation for failing to stop at stop sign and a 2020 patent for "a search interface [that] allows the selection betw

The evidence for Jesus's existence is about as strong as for any individual of the era, excepting some very prominent Romans. The standards of evidence for ancient history are necessarily somewhat looser than for modern history because

That's true, but PMs are motivated not to "embarrass" the monarch if it can be at all avoided. It would be a very unpopular move, as it was when Boris Johnson "advised" the late Queen to prorogue Parliament during t

Again, I don't think the analogy holds—no one is entering anything. A better analogy would be someone standing outside your house and asking you to pass a book to them through the open door, which you then voluntarily do.

None of those organizations are OpenAI, which has yet to establish a history of dishonest dealing. It's not usually a good idea for government agencies to assume that every company in a particular field is maximally dishonest and crimi

One has to assume some level of good faith, or it would be impossible to agree on anything. Plus, if OpenAI lied about this and it became known that they lied, they'd be shut down again and have much harder path back. Every privacy org

These analogies don't work. Sending a bunch of data to a computer and receiving a bunch of data in return is in no way analogous to physically entering private property without permission. They are not the same thing, or the same order

So, if I create a cat GIF API, but announce that it's a private cat GIF API only I am allowed to use, I can sue anyone else who uses it to retrieve a cat GIF?

I'm assuming the users of Gpt4free haven't signed up to OpenAI's terms and conditions, even if they do contain language prohibiting use of these private APIs. A corporation can't unilaterally impose their TOS on the enti

by Veen 3y ago
The situations aren't really comparable. We're talking about sending a request from a computer to a publicly available API endpoint that Open AI would rather you didn't, and then using the data that endpoint sends in response

by Veen 3y ago
I wasn't aware companies could, by fiat, declare certain publicly available endpoints private, thereby compelling everyone by force of law to pretend they don't exist.

In exactly what respect is it illegal. Keeping in mind that "not complying with a corporation's policies" is not the same as breaking the law.

In my experience, it's still pretty prevalent in Central and Eastern Europe. I was able to smoke in a restaurant in Bulgaria three years ago, and you get nothing like the social disapproval for smoking you tend to in Western Europe (I&

It depends what you mean by rare. In the UK it's a story because it's happened to Agatha Christie and Roald Dahl. Christie is the biggest selling fiction author of all time. Roald Dahl is among the biggest selling children's

Microsoft is a large corporation, but the UK is the 6th biggest economic entity in the world. Microsoft is not even close to the economic and legal power of a country the UK's size. And if the EU acts in the same way, as seems likely,

Yeah, ease of use. I haven't wanted to bother with running local LLMs until now because I expected it would be complicated and time consuming (and I'm technically competent). I managed to get this up-and-running in about five minu

The Chair, DG, and other higher-ups will almost always have either Labour or Tory connections, because those are the two main political parties. You'd be hard pushed to find a suitable candidate that wasn't connected at a high lev

Yes, but it's an argument that just goes round and round forever. Conservatives think the BBC is run by a left-wing cabal. Leftists think it's an establishment mouthpiece run by the Tories. We've been having exactly the same
