Meta haven't made an open source model. They have released a binary with a proprietary but relatively liberal license. Binaries are not source and their license isn't free.

I'd find knowing what's in the training data hugely valuable - can analyse it to understand and predict capabilities.

Interesting thanks! Anonyms technology is presumably what the original article was about? Any idea what a transaction will look like. Who will pay them for this and how? I guess ad networks would pay so they can still attribute and do retai

How will it help them earn money? Are Google threatening them with withdrawal of search revenue unless they add the feature? Something else?

I'd love a detailed description of the politics and economics of adding this. Why are Firefox doing it, how does it relate to similar features in other browsers? If it leads to direct revenue, how? If there are relationship reasons for

My experience with models even about a year ago is that the model has firmly decided what it thinks by the time of the last layer, so the probabilities on that layer aren't very useful. You either get the same (in this case wrong) thin

The answer is that it is hugely variable between people! Hurlburt has great research on this using Descriptive Experience Sampling. Some people mainly use images, others mainly speech, others mainly emotion etc. And many more use a varied m

Yes - to me the speech feels more like a forcing layer that drives thought. The actual thought is a recurrent neural network underneath. Nearest I have of conscious access to itis non verbal awareness of complex concepts.

Quite a lot of people have no inner voice, others no inner imagery, others no inner unsymbolized conceptual thinking (cf all of Hurlburts research). We all use very varied modalities of thought! It's as rich as how different we look or

This sounds like it is fully reproducible: "it also included reproducible training recipes that allow the weights (neural network files) to be replicated, which is unusual for a major tech company so far" Digging into the code, is

In tests I did with linguists a year ago, GPT-3.5 was better than DeepL also. Google Translate largely caught up with DeepL a while ago! Specifically, LLMs have a context window larger than a sentence. So can eg infer gender throughout docu

The GPT 3.5 API is cheaper than Google Translate. And in our testing (over a year ago) was better for translation. So I assume in that case the energy use is less?

I see this as huge Affero (AGPL) praise! It would be great if the license was used more. I'd much rather contribute to something where sharealike extends in some way across networks - software doesn't link in binaries, as the GPL

I consider the weights a binary program and the source code is the training data. The training algorithm is the compiler. I agree this isn't standard terminology, but it makes the most sense to me in terms of power dynamics and informa

Just a note that consciousness isn't always or even mostly a verbal "monologue", assuming you mean that. Apologies if you didn't! A significant percentage of people never have an inner voice at all. And few people use it

I'm not sure. If it fails, then I reckon a binary compiled from source code fails top. There's nothing creative about the act of a compiler, it is automatic, just like the training run of an LLM. And no part of the original source
