You seem completely oblivious of the high likelihood of China invading Taiwan in the next 5 years. That will make the covid chip supply disruptions look like a supply chain nirvana in comparison. Any large corporation with more than 2 brain

Camera manufactures can come up with a cryptographic watermark for the pictures their camera takes or not, but blockchain really adds nothing to equation.

Yes, but how many geniuses will live in squalor and never be given the proper environment to thrive? I know I'd rather there be geniuses but who are given a life to support their growth and contributions, of which perhaps half really r

It's the most obvious thing ever, and it, of course, will never happen. The new media companies seem completely oblivious to how people consume information. I touch 10+ news sources a day, at a minimum. There is no way in hell I'm

Uncontrolled breeding of humans is a problem orders-of-magnitude worse for the natural environment. Shall we start a cull of those too? (This is obviously satire)

> There’s no question these neural networks and their output are derivative works. A derivative work is an expressive creation that includes major copyrightable elements of a first, previously created original work (the underlying work).

Yeah, I must be still missing the point. The chain literally started with that sentiment so literally repeating it doesn't seem like it's adding anything new, so I was wondering what the actual point is.

No offense, but I can't seem to pull an actual point out of your comment.

Yeah, when I said "many use cases", that mostly means, "use cases that don't require near-term knowledge." Which are the bulk of my internet searches. But even know, ChatGPT 4 can use search to get update-to-date in

Too true. But in the beginning at least, there will be high competition which will hold down the ads a bit, with enshitifcation happening after the market entrenches around the winners.

Google, structurally, sucks at anything but sucking down Ad money. A good LLM allows one to basically bypass the internet for many use cases and drastically reduces ad time. As cool as LLM capabilities are the thing that delights me most ab

OAI is dead. In the name of safety, the board has gifted OAI to MS. Even Ilya wants to jump ship now that the ship is sinking (I'll be real interesting if Sama even lets him on board the MS money train). Calling this a win for AI safet

The problem here is: Who watches the watchers? To my eyes, and to many others, it appears the board is power-tripping. Also, OpenAI's unique structure means they have no checks on the board that an investor class would normally give. I
