I do believe it is quite clearly a rebuttal to the following overreaching statement: > At basically no point in history has it been the case that the sole responsibility for the well being of children lay entirely with the parents.

Many rights apply broadly and not just to citizens. The following article covers some of the nuance: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/what-constitutiona...

There seems to be this viewpoint around runaway intelligence where people assume a “frictionless world with perfect spheres”. The truth is we don’t fully understand what it means to be intelligent, and how intelligence scales. All indicatio

Whether or not a specialized solution could do it better or cheaper, it might not matter if the generalized solution does it well enough. A sufficiently powerful generalized solution can erase entire product categories and industries. Think

Correct me if I misunderstand, but your point is that even if the textual content can be made deterministic the (form/shape/type?) of the output is not deterministic? If you are expecting a specific format you can just check wheth

That's a really cool fact, thanks for sharing. It's also worth noting that whether an LLM is deterministic or not is a matter of what token is selected. If it turns out to be valuable for results to be deterministic it is a tracta

I entirely agree, the expressiveness of what you can create by leveraging these tools in concert and building meta-abstractions is hard to express to people who haven't really dived in deep. My running theory is that the initial mental

Where needed you can make models deterministic by setting temperature to 0 with a fixed model version. You can use prompt injection honeypots to help flag malicious prompts before you pass them into your code. These are both mitigable probl

Leveraging multiple models here (Segment Anything is a good candidate) seems like a must to build a defensible product. Using just SD with basic control net and maybe some additional finetuning makes it very cloneable. If you leverage other

One strong way to protect against malicious prompt injection is by having a honeypot. Your goal with the honeypot is to have something that is vulnerable to prompt injection, and that does a simple reformatting of the content, something tha

If your point is that we already have more than enough music than needed, isn’t that an indication that current copyright laws don’t need to be nearly as strong as they are in order to continue to promote the “useful arts”? (at least when i

None of these companies are really directly concerned about profitability. Right now the leaders in ML models are going to be defined by those who have the most capital available to train newer and better models. And the quickest way to get

I’m surprised to see someone of Carmack’s caliber making this mistake. If you’ve exposed a gorilla or chimp brain to the same amount of language content they still wouldn’t be able to converse like a human can. Meanwhile almost every human

Off the top of my head, here's a short list of fields that could make some use of a professional 3d headset: - 3d modeling/sculpting - Architecture - Interior Design (great uses for passthrough AR here) - Product Design / CAD

Essentially every model worth anything has been trained on a unfathomably large amount of data under copyright, with every possible licensing scheme you could imagine, under the assumption that it is fair use. While you can argue that it&#x

Because they do always win (in aggregate, in relation to other income brackets). With changing economic situations, those with more resources have more options, and are therefore on average able to adapt more effectively. Sure there will be

I think you need to intelligently create and build a parallel institution, with goals, tools, and organization culture better aligned to the needs of building up communities while keeping order in a modern society. Start with a small scope

There IS a law (Section 1983), which stood whole for almost a century, before the Supreme Court largely gutted by inventing this legal principal out of thin air.

To be clear, qualified immunity is entirely a judicial branch legal principle, and not a law that was passed by the legislative branch.

You don't need to find a new data source, you just need to find an unencumbered third party. You can use the that data publicly provided in the git repo as long as you haven't signed an agreement with OpenAI yourself.

by dwallin 4y ago
You're only bound by the terms of OpenAI's agreement if you agreed to the terms of use. If a third party obtained the data without signing an agreement with OpenAI (eg. by just downloading it from that repo) they are under no obli

When it comes to generative ai it's not really a content problem, it's actually more of a filtering problem. Whether data was created either partially or fully by an AI doesn't actually matter. What matters is the aesthetic q

I think a lot of the novel uses of language models like chatgpt will involve multiple instances interacting upon interleaved data. For example to improve factuality you might do the following: 1) One instance first parses the chat and last

It's a defense against the double spend problem. It minimizes potential timing issues that could allow someone to simultaneously taking out multiple credit lines without the ability to properly evaluate the risk.

A focus on achieving outcomes unfortunately isn't really valued in our current political system so instead of us being able to debate which policies would most effectively achieve shared goals we debate how ideologically pure the polic

The perception of a singular power of "Government" is an illusion. Government in reality should be seen as more of an ecosystem, with numerous centers of power of various sizes and areas of influence. When a part of government is

Yeah, agreed. The mistake a lot of individuals make when they fall in the intellectual trap of Libertarianism is that power doesn't care about labels. Sure the state "has a monopoly on violence" but that is not an intrinsic t

Human provenance is less important than human curation here. AI can already infrequently output content that surpasses average human-generated quality in certain categories. As long as in the end you are checking that content exceeds an ave

Even more so than that, “blue” is not even attempting to “guess” at reality. A more accurate statement is that the concept of “blue” is a useful abstraction for the goals of the vision system of your brain.
