I suspect Valve's plan is to embarrass the license holder in the hope that they back down. I doubt a court battle would be worth the money.

The report itself reads like a humblebrag at best, marketing materials at worst. I have to agree with the OP: taking this report at face value requires that you trust Anthropic, a lot. Their August threat intelligence report struck similar

I expect that the "expert panel" is to ensure that OpenAI and Microsoft are in agreement on what "AGI" means in the context of this agreement.

It seems like a pretty good description of how LLMs work.

Younger people struggle with this, too. I was getting my teeth cleaned this morning and the hygienist had a lengthy story about transferring data to a new iPhone (her prior phone was 2.5 years old). It's anecdata but the experience is

I can see how this workflow made the senior developer faster. At the same time, work mentoring the AI strikes me as less valuable then the same time spent mentoring a junior developer. If this ends up encouraging an ever widening gap betwee

I read the book and can recommend it. It was both interesting and, in places, had a good sense of humor. It was interesting to see the intersection of news coverage I had read with the author’s inside perspective. IMHO, the book has little

If people are being forced to sign anti-disparagement agreements “everyday”, I think that is pretty concerning.

In this article, I believe the UK is asking this same question. It will be interesting to see where they land; I suspect this is why the author hasn’t had to pay any fines yet.

Any documentation on this would be great!

They are using the same kind of exit NDA used to coerce OpenAI employees who left that organization. We should all be afraid for ourselves as these organizations turn into black boxes where the only people who could speak out feel they cann

If there were clear metrics showing that in-person teams “out perform” remote teams, we would be hearing about it constantly. The supposed rationale for keeping such data secret sounds far-fetched to me.

Isn’t this article about Tesla admitting their system is as good as it’s going to get? They’re changing their definition of FSD to pretty much “current state”.

He repeated Tim Cook’s number, probably he was nervous and it was top-of-mind.

IMHO, this indicates to me that these numbers are more like a marketing exercise.

I have been paying them a monthly fee for private repositories for as long as I can remember.

The less I know about a thing the more useful an LLM seems to be. I’m working with a new-to-me enterprise code base, the LLM helps me find related (and duplicate) code. Even here it’s usefulness has an expiration date, eventually I’ll know

Even if the developer is keeping the quality of the LLM generated code high (by constant close reading of the output, rejecting low quality work and steering with prompts) does this mean the project as a whole is improving? I have my doubts
145.
by cmiles74 1y ago
People actually understand the input and the output. An LLM understand neither, it's generating output that is statistically likely, within some bounds. As Fowler said, it's a pleasant coincidence that some of this output has valu

I suspect the cost will rise and we'll start seeing much less of it. As the free tier gets smaller and less useful, I think we'll see the pool of people who use AI casually start to shrink. Seeing which use-cases make it through w

I use Podman, I wanted a Docker-like experience on MacOS or Windows. I use it to provide services during development (PostgreSQL, etc.) and working on image builds. It works pretty well. :-)

IMHO, by placing people with a negative attitude toward AI products under the guise "their priors are outdated" you effectively negate any arguments from those people. That is, because their priors are outdated their counterexampl

The particular service that has the movie may not last or they may lose access to the movie. With a streaming service you aren't "buying" much.

IMHO, the problem is that if you are wealthy enough then you don't need to worry about patents. I also think these patents are, on the whole, not great. But here the one company legally got the patent and the another, richer company hi
