Very interesting point. It'd be a challenge to execute, but I'd be glad to see a non-profit that lets online communities discuss topics of interest, solve problems, and expand knowledge. Maybe something like that exists and I just

Congrats on the launch! There's certainly a "problem" worth solving here. I'm a lawyer, and it's crazy that I occasionally actually have to negotiate non-substantive parts of contracts like severance clauses. There

Does anybody know of major efforts to use cutting edge LLMs to read through medical/scientific literature and come up with new insights from it? Preferably open source, but closed projects as well. Of course, there are copyright issues

Good article. The rise of "prompt influencers" is frustrating, since it makes it a bit trickier to find the signal of interesting AI content through the noise. I miss when the influencers were all just hawking altcoins. Guess I&#x

Very cool. Side note: bark-gpt.com is already taken for a dog translator: "The world’s first AI powered, real-time communications tool between humans and their furry best friends."[0] I only know this because my law firm partner&#

This is a good point, and is one of the pitfalls of arguments suggesting that tech cos like OpenAI shouldn’t release things like GPT 4 because there’s too much possible harm. Say OpenAI, Deepmind, and similar AI orgs all decided not to rele

Additionally, individual US states have started passing laws on data privacy, and these laws sometimes impact email marketers who do business in those states. For instance, California has the CCPA (recently amended by the CPRA), and Colorad

You're right. As the issues point out, OpenAI's terms say here https://openai.com/terms/ : > (c) Restrictions. You may not ... (iii) use the Services to develop foundation models or other large scale models

Lawyer here also (though not actively practicing) and I agree with your thoughtful comment about. I’ve negotiated lots of commercial agreements, and it’s surprising that lawyers still spend time redlining basic things like severance clauses

Not an expert, but from reading studies I suspect that the specifics like which meal to skip can vary by person. Which makes sense since we all have unique physiology. Eg, some people are natural night owls vs morning people. There’s plenty

I'd like this to work, and kudos to the creators for having an interesting idea in a problem area. I've been surprised that copyright plaintiffs have been winning these cases, e.g. Marvin Gaye vs Robin Thicke, the Katy Perry case.

Something doesn't need to be "definitive" to qualify as precedent. See the quote I mentioned above at page 33 ("It is likely..."). That's precedent.

Your point that other laws might (or might not) apply is a good one that people should note. "Trespass" is one. LinkedIn apparently alleged violation of the DMCA too. It chose not to press those issues in the appeal, so the opinio
