I think this is just a tough spot for any of these kinds of companies to be in. It's easy to suggest that they should just ban or allow filtering out AI content, but the problem isn't that easy to deal with. Adding a manual "

It's genuinely so ridiculous to suggest that freedom and meritocracy (among other things) were why America was able to do this first. This stuff was before the civil rights act. There are endless stories about Americans being sent to

I think it's useful to consider that NVIDIA bet on CUDA early, they've supported it since 2006. AMD has to do a lot less work, but it's still going to take a while to get all of the software in a competitive state. Though, on

I think it's about if there's a possibility of it being zero. Of course there's no way to tell at compile time that a value will definitely be zero. So, in pseudocode int div(int a, int b): return a / b; Would probably b

The context window also limits how deeply the model can "think", and it does this in natural language. So a language suited to LLMs would have balanced density, if it's too dense, the model spends many tokens working through

When I was still dependent on my parents, I was stuck with a pretty outdated PC, but was allowed to get a PSP and then a PS Vita (but also only 1 game ever). The reasoning was that a separate console could be taken away easily if my grades

I'd like to believe that people have a bit more in mind for children's entertainment than just overstimulating their developing visual and auditory cortices for 8 hours a day.

The responses to this seem unnecessarily hyperbolic. These tests are interesting even with the understanding that the AI is just reciprocating its training. It doesn't matter if the model is conscious or self aware if it still goes off

It's better at holding their attention, but is it actually better? My impression was that a lot of the content was effectively "attention slop", bright colors and noises, often with very little sense to them, or just variatio

Regarding generative images, it's more of an issue because the effects are different. Software tends to be a "living" project, so just vibe coding with 0 software knowledge is not yet fully sustainable for maintaining a proje

Yeah, I can understand being upset with their work being stolen to train these models. Anthropic doesn't seem to be working on image/video generation, but they are still training on text-based creative works of questionable sourci

That's a strange position to take. I can understand not wanting models that have been trained on questionably sourced data, but otherwise they're opposing essentially a UX change, not based on UX concerns but on ideological fears.

I don't really get the backlash about Blender here, this isn't generative art, it's basically a natural language means of scripting blender. This feels like the proper way to have AI act as a tool to make artist's jobs e

Yeah, I can imagine that it's tricky to find a balance when so many new things are put together. I didn't have the benefit of skilled teachers or parents that believed in my interests (and of course no LLMs!) so I didn't have

I agree with the points made, even if personally I am okay with LLMs (as long as they're used with appropriate caution). Especially relevant for students I think, since they are hurting themselves most by relying on LLMs. Just like how
