Value judgments aside, organized crime often does arise in a self-organizing way from marginalized groups. Anyways, it all boils down to a simple fact: pacifism can't enforce itself.

On a technical level, sure, you could say it's a matter of time, but that could mean tomorrow, or in 20 years. And even after that, it still doesn't really solve the intrinsic problem of encoding truth. An LLM just models its trai

Well, I'm not surprised, although I think I'm still within my rights to be disappointed. What's unfortunate is I expect some people to be surprised.

As a non-communist non-billionaire, I couldn't disagree more! :) The abuse of absurd levels of wealth to advance one's own agenda is little more than bribery. When targeted towards those poor enough to worry about basic needs, it

reddit was also open source at one point, so at least in theory anybody could run their own copy. I agree Stallman is far from reasonable but AFAIK he's consistent with his unreasonable standards.

Most LLMs, including Gemini (AFAIK), operate on tokens. lowercaseunseparatedname would be literally impossible for them to generate, unless they went out of their way to enhance the tokenizer. E.g. the LLM would need a special invisible sep

FB maintains a distinct version of Thrift from the one they gave to Apache. fbthrift is far from dead as it's actively used across FB. However in typical FB fashion it's not supported for external use, making it open source in nam

It's not a question of whether it can be applied retroactively, it's whether the existing license is revocable. Open source licenses are not revocable as it would defeat the purpose if copyright holders could simply revoke the ori

Why is your premise that this state of society is intrinsically caused by technological progress? The issues you describe seem to me a product of general economic trends.

1024 bits for a hash is pretty roomy. The embedding "just" has to be well-distributed across enough of the dimensions.

Those analogies are too imprecise. Cars do have AEB (auto emergency braking) systems, for example, and the NHTSA is requiring all new cars to include it by 2029. If there are clear risks, it's normal to expect basic guardrails. > I’
