And how is it bad optics? Seems to me it would be a good look, where OpenAI would appear magnanimous and interested in fairness rather than craven and sociopathic. Which is how they look now, regardless of your attempts to distract from thi

We don't need every country to pace the frontier, just a certain few. And yes, I believe it's possible and the prior art is nuclear non-proliferation. Non-proliferation wasn't perfect, of course, but it was good enough (so fa

This smacks of "all information should be free" dogma. I for one prefer not to be ground into dust in service of producing more paperclips.

And we all know how good OpenAI is at containing models during training...

Prove it. Your systems hack and/or abuse other systems and you can't seem to even observe it happening much less do anything about it. Why should we believe your claims when they depend on an ability you don't actually have?

Sure. These are the other sides of the coin. I've been medicated for years and unmedicated for years. Currently I'm in a ~10yr unmedicated stretch. Do I have frustrating moments, embarrassing easily avoidable failures, and so on?

I have found both hyperfocus and the ability to quickly "drop" (i.e. distract from) a train of thought incredibly useful.

Indeed some people think they want a machine guessing at your intentions and acting upon that guess. Those people Are wrong in at least 2 directions: that it is what they want, and their implicit assumption that it could possibly be safe.

Can you quantify the scale of it or not?

The threat is not technical but systemic. It's about supply chain dependencies and further empowering a cutout of the Chinese military apparatus.

Insurance against loss due to ... paying for insurance? The language of the thing is compelling at first glance, but it doesn't actually parse. Sharing your gambling wins with patrons to attract more patrons is not insurance .

I'm pretty sure essentially all HN participants understand that the frontier labs indiscriminately sucked up every bit of human output they could, IP and ethical concerns be damned. Some of that cohort may indeed be okay with it, but t

This smells a bit like a statement of faith. Digital neurons and neural networks are not the same as their biological counterparts, sure. But it is not an unreasonable proposition that their functions are isomorphic.

They also have made a big deal about how what they did to build their models is not stealing. And we all know that's bullshit.

Except in this case the report is giving you conclusions while withholding the data and reasoning process that lead to those conclusions. Alternatively, I paid for the tokens therefore I should have access to them. If the vendor wants to ar

> The question is error per volume > my question is whether the per-story fact checking is equal, or much less Which is it?

This is a very strange take. We got a full-throated retraction. Error correction is a hallmark of trustworthiness.
