no. probably not. There aren't really laws/cases that apply to LMs creating derivatives yet. Maybe there will be in the future. Currently, in practice, GPT will digest your blog and incorporate it into itself.

I agree that GPT modernization consulting and such bullshit will emerge. It always does. That's neither here nor there though. It's just noise. Re: Tesla autopilot. I think this is the more serious. Obviously I'm speculating.

These questions are constant. I do think you bring up relevant issues, but they aren't quite showstoppers. Websites allow SE crawlers because (a) whatever traffic they get is better than not traffic (b) because allowing crawlers is def

So.. I must say that GPT, and the current moment more broadly, are very exciting. People are rushing around trying to find practical uses for ChatGPT. I think this time they'll finally start finding them, probably a lot of them. I thin

This was there from the very beginning. In fact, one of Google's advantages of altavista and such was that pagerank diluted the effects of keyword stuffing, the primitive SEO that had degraded primitive websearch. Search, media and adv

" If you are institutionally incapable of... " This is the road to bullshit. Of course no manager or CEO will admit that their team/company is that. Admitting technical non-excellence is nearly impossible. Organisation inadeq

I'm glad you made this point. This happens a lot. Organisational problems conflated for technical ones. Technical solutions to organisational politics. Etc. It's often easier to admit technical challenges than organisational ones.

IDT that youtube should get credit for creating "The Medium." Online, shareable videos were always going to exist, somewhere. They just had the deep pockets to finance the hosting of youtube and win a monopoly over it. That's

RE: valuable yet unnoticed This issue, in this case, is information dispersal. This sort of information is highly analyzed, almost certainly, by google/youtube. They have all the data, so there's a lot more you can get out of an

OOH, I'm cheering along with everyone else at this comment. OTOH, I wish there was a reference book or something that takes this to a usable level. Everyone who works on software knows that similar tasks can be completed by a 6 workers

I really enjoyed how this article was written. I'm going to classify this as a " just do a good job ." We people like to understand the world with stories. Plot points. Twists. Heroes, antiheroes, antagonists... That's

Even for cars, "The Market for Lemons" dynamic has never been a major effect. It doesn't define automotive culture. The theory does describe parts of reality in the used car market, but even here... it's not the main th

You are right in many senses. Modern organisations do value specialisation, and tend to perceive the organisation as a legible machine with specialist components. This tends to be particularly prevalent among HR, professional management, ou

Yes and uhh. At some point, the way to fight crime is to fight crime. It's not that hard to find and prosecute most call centre scammers. A lot of these scammers would not do it if there was risk. They're not often hardened crimin

Diplomats have been MIA on this issue for far too long. This is exactly what diplomacy should be good for. The victims of these crimes aren't in India. It makes sense that it would take external pressure to prioritize them.

One major aspect that tends to be underrecommended is using money to save money. Cash buy a car. Prepay your rent for a discount. Buy an annual supply of cleaning products, drygoods... For businesses, this is well understood. An old school

We're in a time when histories of money attract a bit more interest. We are exiting a period where theoretical/rhetorical histories^ are a little less dominant. In any case, it's interesting how often religion is deeply invol

Commitment (his word, not yours) is a bit strong. The vast majority of free speech related discussion is disingenuous, ignorant or otherwise unserious. Free speech is complicated. Saying you'll "do free speech" without referi

Ireland is similar, though notably better or worse on various specifics. Unsurprising to most, probably. I feel it's important to recall that these are not new tendencies. Both countries (and many of our neighbors) have a history of be

I'm always interested by the relationship between science fiction ideas, how the idea changes as it becomes near-term... and how the idea manifests in real life. AIs wired into brains is a complex endpoint. It's a plausible nexus

That's not the definition of a monopoly, unless we're describing some sort of textbook/theoretical concept. Spotify are certainly a monopsony in their relationship to artists/studios. The whole business model depends on
