Genuine question: do you feel this disparity despite being diligent and checking the LLM's output, or is that not factored in? It's also been my experience that generating an entire app/portion of code can be much easier by t

One can quickly get philosophical here ("what is ownership?"), but IMO IP theft is as real as theft of a possession, insofar as both have value that the original owner has now been deprived of. News sites et al. provide content. E

I'd imagine they'd find it interesting for the same reason that the US finds its membership in NAFTA/USMCA and NATO interesting, despite being significantly larger: market access and strength in numbers. > It would be a wi

I never claimed companies write laws, but they do lobby governments to write laws which are beneficial for them. This is well-documented, including in the US, fwiw. > All regulatory capture requires is for the company to be benefiting

Would it be possible to offer anything more substantive? For example: 1) Why would none of the ~20-25 blue states want to join the EU? Why would it be preferable for the big ones to go it alone in an increasingly fractious world? 2) In what

I don't think these are serious points, GP is likely either a bot or Elon diehard - at least, they're not giving any substantive responses.

Weirdly, I've experienced a notable uptick in Graphene-related posts over the last couple of weeks. So is the flagging not hiding the posts for me (and those I've seen comment on them), or are there many other posts I'm not s

If you read Buckmasters statement, he specifically notes that they used the paid subscriptions, iirc.

Really sorry to hear so. Your story reinforces a fear I have that humanity is being squeezed out of all manner of things (pre AI too, but even more so since).

Point taken, I was possibly overly curt in my response, leading to it being ambiguous, both re when the loss function is being minimised and that it is a stochastic process. So to OPs question: I guess LLMs do have an "idea" of wh

Private users also have sensitive information which, if leaked, could be used to their detriment (e.g training data getting hacked, etc). I don't see any distinction between companies and people when it comes to moral objections re tra

In ML, "best" is what minimises the loss function, so in a certain (very basic) sense it does.
