Not sure I understand the excerpt from the referenced paper. Is it saying that part of its more-efficient inferencing relies on mixing tokens from completely-separate inputs – eg, from other users? And then, depending on what other inputs c

While there are many, many reasons to worry about a flood of fake & false autogenerated AI content, in media & forums not yet armored against the new reality, I am also hopeful that various kinds of LLM writing-prostheses can hel

So, Hasan was a plagiarist as he fluffed powers-that-be for partisan credibility – including an example Fang cites from Hasan's 2012 book). The other Fang allegations – including that Hasan now condemns & slurs people for the same

Yes, but the coincidence of 3 gain-of-function researchers being the very 1st simultaneous infectees would be far more remarkable than a crowded place being the 1st spot that's noticed as a cluster. No matter the origin of a new highly

There are curious aspects of Omicron's emergence – more closely related to older less-circulating strains, many adaptations bursting onto scene all at once – that make people think that even if the original Wuhan strains weren't l

All you need for a market cluster is one infected person to visit once, & pass the infection along to one or more people who then also spend time there and pass it on. There's no challenging "why" needed.

Mehdi Hasan is proof that MSNBC can air someone who's as much of a shouty partisanship-addled blowhard as Fox's Sean Hannity. Investigative journalist Lee Fang goes deeper into Hasan's allegations about Taibbi – plus Hasan&#x

"Trillions" may be a stretch barring larger recession & wider commercial real-estate collapse. But it's far from impossible! A 10% drop would be enough to deliver (2) "trillions" in losses to a ~$20T sector - &a

Well, it's hard to verify raising private funding, as either money-in-bank or contractual-commitments for when the timing is right. But the 1st part of this story fits recent trends in SF's commercial market, with some high-profil

You're making an unwarranted assumption that the "raising" is via new secured but non-recourse loans that they'd quickly default upon. But you're right, that interpretation wouldn't make any sense. What does ma

But banks keep using the leverage of gigantic – but not fully admitted/accounted-for – de facto government subsidies to make destructively-reckless bets out of proportion to the nominal "bank owners" capital-at-risk. So even

That's a possible interpretation. We don't hear the discussion before it. And it's a weird wording to merely offer a sale of assets for Reddit to then manage. The word choice, to my ears, more implies a "just gimme cash

As mentioned upthread, "ChatGPT" is insufficient to assess exactly which LLM-based tool you're reporting about. The versions vary greatly in capabilities, with some even able to browse the web for more info.

Their page doesn't mention 'ChatGPT' - that analogy was added by the submitter. But, Flux.ai has named their LLM-based coding assistant 'Copilot'.

Simply via commercial use, Github could choose to assert a common-law trademark on 'Copilot' within their field-of-use. But also, they've registered "Github Copilot" at the USPTO: https://trademarks.justi

Indeed, but under trademark law, the context-of-use matters, and is what allows generic terms from one domain – like 'copilot', 'apple', 'slack', 'y combinator' – to become defensible trademarks in an
