An alternative viewpoint: Generative AI algorithmically processes the inputs such that they can be roughly recreated after decoding. A bit like how jpeg encodes images "beyond recognition"(aka lossy).

I'm in this picture and I don't like it. Hours of trying to convince management that it's actually not OK to release a product that's completely built on open source software without even attaching an open source license

Can't the same argument be used to say "lossy compression is not plagiarism". If I encode a movie with H264 there is no way to get it to output "exactly what was in the training data" and I can argue that "like

> Plagiarism is not related to copyright at all. The whole point of the free culture movement is reusing and remixing previous works. I can plagiarize something in the public domain I'd half-agree, but I don't think "break

I think it makes sense. Plagiarism is literally taking someones work/ideas and passing them off as my own. If I were to read 100 NYT articles(one of which is about some event) and then write my own article afterwards that uses similar

Professional accountability would be saying that companies like Riot can't deploy root-level code with no oversight onto millions of machines "for competitive integrity", not taking down git repos because they don't meet

I think that's the opinion of the person replying to you as well. They're just using that as support for why they disagree with the EU rules, since it can be considered "commercial" even if you're making no money, j

When I talk to people that use copilot to improve their coding workflow, what I often hear is that copilot can replace boilerplate but not any business logic specific to the problem being solved. It sounds like you have a different experien

Outperforming on the SAT(a test that the model was trained on) doesn't seem like a marker of intelligence as much as it is of recall.

We're training on text because that's what we're making the model do. It's a fact of neural networks that to train them supervised you need the training data in the expected input for(vector of n thousand preceding token

Isn't 1 a point for their "skeptic" persona? If babies learn much more from much less, isn't that evidence that the LLM approach isn't as efficient as whatever approach humans implement biologically, so it's li

That's convenient. Typically one of the markers of good science is reproducability. How can we trust any of the information coming out of these studies if it can't be reproduced?

It's not about the size of the models, it's about the size of the training data. Humans are able to begin to generalize with a single persons experiences over less than a year, so the fact that LLMs cannot with billions of person-

Don't have to imagine, same thing is happening right now with LLMs. I see "AI safety" brought up as a laughable attempt at stopping the progress of LLMs, when in reality the people talking about "AI safety" are the

Isn't the phrase for "taking attention away from the cause of the issue to focus on the symptoms" "misinformation"? Curious how you see anything good coming from focusing the attention of the public away from the sy

Agreed, anybody flying across the country to try and film societal issues for 'clout' needs some readjustment.

Do you think drug addiction is a choice rather than a situation? How do you feel about the same thing being done to homeless encampments where you don't have the easy excuse of "those people deserve it"?

Only if you think that "exposing" it(read: exploiting it for social media views) is doing anything to help the problem. Experts seem to think the shame and misrepresentation actually makes the situation worse rather than doing any

These tiktokers are drug addicts. It just so happens that drug is dopamine they produce by exploiting people on social media instead of injecting chemicals.

Isn't their point that docker brought incrementalness to this? So just like when you change one c file you don't have to recompile the whole project, updating the last layer in the image should only require a few mb of transfer, t

How does this have anything to do with net neutrality? From what I can see, twitch is a business that benefits from the fact that most internet companies don't actually have to pay for internet connection services relative to their usa

If I have to pay more to access one service than another, that's against the idea of net neutrality(making services equitably easy to access). I don't understand how net neutrality applies in the opposite case though. If the hosti

Why are they outrageous? I've yet to see a reason that Netflix/twitch/etc. having to pay for the infrastructure they profit massively from is a bad thing. If they have to pay a larger share, it means that services that don&#x

Market dominance is probably the reason. Canada had crown ISPs that offered unlimited data plans, so telcos has to do the same to compete and the idea of a fixed cap internet plan is rodiculous. When mobile data became popular there were no

Isn't what you describe exactly how all ISPs work. Look how cheap service can be in countries where it's cheap, then look at the USA/Canada. Neither of them have sender party networks pays yet they both increase network conne

Yea "they were too big to know something illegal was going on" is a narrative that benefits these large companies while ensuring any individuals or small companies that do the same see the full force of the law.
