No one with even a pretension to dignity would just cave in the face of force. Although, they do seem willing to sell potentially. China restricted them from selling their recommendation algorithm, and it's hard to sell TikTok without.

It is verifiably not controlled by the CCP... Refer Project Texas... And all US data already being on Oracle's cloud so that all access can be monitored (same for auditing of all their algorithms for any kind of programmed bias). WeCha

If it improves your performance by 1%, then for a salary of $2000/mo, that $20/mo is breakeven. If it benefits you more than 1%, then you're in profit. Of course, if you're in a job that doesn't actually care about

The coding IDEs at $20/mo do not result in your IP being shared with the AI provider for training. That only applies to regular ChatGPT use. And developers actively using AI for coding can easily spend more than $20/mo for the API

There's also the Section 702 angle... US can get all US social media to spy on non-US citizens without anything in the way of legal pushback. US citizens have rights. Non-US citizens, do not. I think the problem with TikTok under their

They have all the US data on Oracle servers, with Oracle having the responsibility to monitor all access and make sure that no Chinese entity can get access. All algorithms are monitored by Oracle such that only user actions can determine w

Apparently the target market for this is supposed to be "Chinese coders living abroad". Thus it supporting English and Chinese languages. And it may be a competitive step taken after Alibaba launched their new coding assistant.

It was always BS though. AOC did an interview where she explains (what should be obvious to anyone), that US Gov had no proof whatsoever beyond trying to point at that Chinese law (much like Section 702 in the US), that makes TikTok seem ri

It's doubtful if he can pony up another $50 billion. Although, if TikTok's earnings can cover the payments on the loan, it could be possible.

It's been a little janky for me - usually get better results from directly using a provider's API.

$20/mo isn't a lot... Especially if you make money with coding.

I doubt that this sends back tons of data. Early TikTok was basically a standard Chinese startup in terms of how they collected data to optimize the app... It's not because they cared about what "you" are doing. The Chinese t

You do have to wonder... When you tell companies like TSMC, Nvidia, etc. to suddenly stop selling to customers who make up billions in sales... With that said, "TSMC" likely doesn't need to help much... China could buy the hu

I'm not sure the technical overhead is high enough to bother to do this... Unless the money made for it comes out to be too small to be worth bothering with after transfer fees. It may be as someone else said, that there should just be

I just saw a video, and Mixtral itself performed amazingly well on a wide variety of tasks - where GPT-4 doesn't always do as well.

Google may have goofed by focusing too much on making it multimodal. Solid ambition, but it also makes the model bigger and harder to train.

Except that they're not throwing cold water on opensource models. So, maybe that helps them in the long run. Also, I'm not sure how much the EU is really going to matter for the future of AI. You don't really need to conform

Just because he acted like a goofball, doesn't mean that everyone needs to. Plus, the other board members supported him, so decent blame to go around for this embarrassment.

Given that nothing criminal happened, canning Sam with no chance for discussion was just overkill. It's probably more of an intellectual / philosophical position, given that they just did not think through the real impact on the b

I think Sam could "potentially" be the bigger man in this. Ilya may still be someone who should be on the board... Especially given his role as head of alignment research. He deserves a say on key issues related to OpenAI. People

I wonder if they've done some Alpaca style training on it... Granted, what made Alpaca useful was that it was finetuned with GPT-3's instruction following completions as examples. And, at least officially, OpenAI's outputs ca

That matrix math is trained on human conversation and recreates the patterns of human thought in this case. So... It unfortunately has a form of our reptilian brain and mamalian brain represented in it... Which is just unfortunate.

AI probably can be made to function with personhood similar to a human - whether or not that is particularly worth doing. Human emotions come from human animal ancestry - which is also why they're shallow enough to attach to anime wive

It should not be impossible to have it function at mostly the level of a human - given the vast amounts of internet conversations it's likely trained on, and the kinds of emotions and experiences that it's likely seen.

I know that Facebook's Android app uses bandwidth as the primary indicator for what resources to load, but I haven't seen this approach mentioned much for optimizing website assets.

I can only imagine what Facebook's server infrastructure and bandwidth itself must cost.

They can still strong arm you into giving them access via the law - they just have to follow the process now.
