If we become worse off than China, it's because we squandered a massive decades long lead and actively moved critical industrial processes over there, not because we didn't let AI companies scrape HIPAA data.

I've noticed a funny trend where people will bring up an ethical concern and some dweeb will immediately roll out the Chinese strawman like it justifies their incredibly dubious position. "We should violate medical privacy laws on

This industry has basically no standards for what a software engineer should know and chronically underinvests in training people, then people will jump on hackernews and bitch about people not knowing what they're doing like they have

It's really funny to see someone say this technology, which seems to be plateauing with marginal improvements after a few years, is improving at a pace we have never seen before, in an industry that is built on the microprocessor. Asto

It provides negative value by marrying your project to a bunch of unnecessary oop bullshit lol

Right, it's just potentially as our more destructive as the thin veneer of legitimacy allows this stuff to steal investment from actually useful things and cause epistemic collapse as it infiltrates our knowledge systems. But at least

The Langchain repo is actually hilariously bad if you ever go read the source. I can't believe they raised money with that crap. Right place right time I guess.

If AI is so good at prose, why haven't I heard about any breakout best sellers?

Is there an actual measure for this besides contrived benchmarks and vibes?

Well you see Jetbrains is a European company unlike the super special boys running an inherently more valuable American company.

Half the point of this crap is labor automation. How does it not compete? If I write a bunch of books and then you use my work to make a machine that writes books in my style, you are using my labor to directly compete with me.

This trial has nothing to with how the brain works and even if they did work the same, humans obviously have different legal rights than a computer.

Movie reviews are fair use because they don't compete with the original work.

God I hate this conversation so much. These cases have nothing to do with how the brain works.

You do not understand fair use lol

Transformative is one of 4 conditions that the court uses to decide if something is fair use. This question is still in active litigation in the courts.

by __loam 1y ago
Fair use has consideration for whether the derivative work disrupts the market for the original, it doesn't mean you can't use it for profit as we saw with the Google books case.

Pretty sure napster also continued to operate during ongoing legal actions but I am not a lawyer

I think we should stop research into automating creative labor and study something that actually benefits people.

I like it better than python now, but it's still got some quirks. The lack of structs and typed callables are the biggest holes right now imo but you can work around those

Ed's style is very much to rant about this stuff lol. But it's really important to have critical voices right now since a miss with this stuff could have devastating consequences for the industry and the people who work in it.
