3D rendering engine benchmarks suggest what you're saying is nonsense.

NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation Although they retail for more than $4k. The previous generation RTX A6000 is probably what they're referring to above.

> I'm dead sure it will get it correct within 5 years You might be right. But plenty of people said we'd all be getting around in self-driving cars for sure 10 years ago.

Be that as it may, I think the point still stands that safety is actually not the primary concern when it comes to how we decide what is acceptable on the roads. As a society, we tacitly accept significant death and injury every year becaus

Performing an illegal action on the roads does not always equal unsafe driving, and vice versa.

My intuition tells me that there are quite a lot of dangerous cars on the roads in states where it's a free-for-all, so I'd be interested in the research you're referring to. If it's just an annual emissions test (as I a

I think the "safer" argument is moot because as a society a clear choice has been made where we preference convenience of the individual over the safety of the community. If safety was the key concern for travelling by car, highwa

I don't see why it would qualify as fair use. OpenAI are building a product to offer to the public for profit. If I employ 10,000 humans to read books and provide summaries or texts "inspired by" those books, I need to pay fo

But LLMs aren't sentient. And the whole "if a human does it, I can make a machine do it for profit too" argument doesn't hold water in the context of copyright.

So-called "fair use" for editorial and review purposes seems like the social good you're talking about? I'm not sure OpenAI offering a service for profit falls into that category.

It's shocking that it's even allowed to be asked.

> And Frankly, the best art has always been created by people who couldn't afford to do it full time. Art will not suffer. That's quite the claim. I'm not sure there's a consistent correlation between "best art&q

No, I'm just saying the analogy isn't apt. But on the broader argument, saying people just don't like it because it puts them out of jobs also seems to miss the point. Disruptive technologies of the kind that "put people

I'm familiar with early automobiles. Still not an apt analogy. Innovation is quite different to overt copying.

The buggy whip analogy doesn't work because car makers didn't and don't sell buggy whips in the specific style of specific buggy whip makers.

Is it how human brains work? Even if it is, why does that make it ok on an industrial scale?

But if I create a magic box that generates work in the style of a specific artist, based on me feeding that artist's work into the magic box, then sell access to the output of the magic box, notably output that results from a request u

Without devolving into a discussion of semantics too much, violence really does imply some intent to harm another person, or people. If I drive at ~200km/h on my way from Berlin to Munich, am I "being violent"?

by colonelspace 2y ago
"Traffic violence" implies deliberate acts intended to cause harm, but I don't think that's what you're referring to.

The bible also encourages genocide, rape, slavery, misogyny and capital punishment. Perhaps it's wise not to listen.

Yes, you're correct. Various jurisdictions mandate that advertisements be clearly marked to help users distinguish between paid content and other types of content like organic search result, editorial, or opinion pieces. These regulati
