You're getting downvotes, but that genuinely puzzled me the first time I saw JSX. ("This looks a lot like 'include("form.php")' in old-school PHP. What am I missing?") Turns out I wasn't missing much.

Do you "get" that stuff? I always feel there's a cultural gulf and I'm missing a lot of subtext. (Not a criticism of the magazine or the authors, it's just where I am).

I'm in "I just want to watch the world burn" mode over this right now, to be honest. If all that's left on the open internet is SEO spam, and all the chatbots can train on is SEO spam, then so be it. We didn't deser

Before that you'd have to establish that whatever the chatbots are doing is "use" in the sense that "fair use" means it. The act of reading a book or looking at a painting isn't protected by fair use. If it is

You're not even sure this is a copyright issue in the US yet, let alone every other country on the planet. So yes, if you don't want it freely consumed, don't freely publish it.

Very very interesting, I confess I hadn't done the maths. I think throwing a large context window back and forth might add up quite quickly, but it's worth setting up my own interface over the API (I'm just using `mods` right

Interesting question. Five variations on "Draw a picture of a French passport" returned passport covers that weren't accurate (mostly gold-embossed birds - one of them was a chicken). I can't find any way to get it to at

Reminds me: Yesterday I was trying to get it to sketch Alexander's casket (the crystal one). So it generates a prompt that begins "Envision a casket that seamlessly blends Greek and Roman artistic traditions...", tries to dra

First item on the incoming legislature's agenda would be to knock that on the head and to walk back any harm that was done. In theory the electorate should also punish a stunt like that, but you know what modern elections are like. Whe

Seems like GPT4 via the API is even less nerfed (my impression). More expensive though, obivously. Does make me wonder how much of it's training and how much of it is throwing less compute at the answer.

Copyright is for publication, not creation. I honestly don't consider telling GPT to draw Homer Simpson as publication. Sticking it on a blog is publication. (Law may differ on this, I admit).
