Your arguments aren't convincing. LLMs do not have authorship, they aren't persons. These ramblings about plagiarism are irrelevant, they're a classic case of "topic missed." The same for human editors, about whom I

I've written a lot in my life so far, including books and novels, and never used AI for it. I don't see the parallel. If you were right and it was the same as plagiarizing, then the use of AI should be prohibited entirely. However

That attitude unfortunately leads to people criticizing something without having enough evidence about it in the first place, like criticizing a book and later admitting you've only seen the cover and read the summary on the back. Crit

It's not important at all and I wish people would stop mentioning AI. If you have criticisms on the docs or code, by all means make them but they shouldn't concern "AI vs human" considerations. Humans have written plenty

If it's not worth publishing, it's not a result at all. That being said, the problem really is that since LLMs excel at sifting through piles or papers, publishing more would aggravate the problem instead of alleviating it.

Perhaps that's good, though. The market for truly minimal phones seems to be rather small. I've had a chance to buy a new Commodore phone and they are really cool, but in the end I decided against it because I wasn't even sur

The UK left and wasn't even able to make proper deals for exiting the EU, their own Brexit caught them by surprise and it was total chaos for a long time. They could now try to get closer integration with the EU but there doesn't

Governments don't necessarily have the connection between your ID and what you do online, though, and some governments are known to massively buy publicly available data from data brokers to circumvent existing laws. By "some gove

The technology was first released into the public 4 years ago. Now it's proving major theorems in research mathematics. It doesn't take a genius to realize that this might indicate an extinction-level shift over the next few hundr

Academic work is based on worldwide sharing, the sharing is not the problem, it's the lack of attribution. Unsurprisingly, these companies neglect standards of academic honor and attribution. Some human researchers also used to do that

I don't trust your judgment, it's in my opinion even hilarious given that we're talking about companies worth almost a trillion dollar (4 trillion in the case of Google). Be that as it may, it was nice chatting with you!

It's trivial and a solved issue for the companies developing frontier AI models. Obviously, you don't even need AI for searching every prompt every user has ever written to find interesting topics, but you can create automated sum

I have the setting turned on in Gemini Pro even though I work on proprietary code because 1. the setting allows for some (very limited) "memory", and 2. I consider my source code almost public even when it's not open source b

It seems completely trivial to feed sessions to their own LLM and ask it to look for various things in them, from detecting problematic use cases to finding interesting mathematical work.

That sounds a lot to me like a lie.

Based on publicly available evidence, we should believe the former because AI models have made continuous advances that have been measured. The idea that the continuous advances will stop currently has no evidential support. I'm not sa

According to the information I have, the CIA is unlikely to be involved with SIGINT of that type. It's just not their role. I agree that most of the information the NSA might collect will come from publicly available sources like data

If I was the director of an agency of the size of the NSA and was evaluating the options purely from that perspective, I'd aim at creating a file on every living citizen on earth, including their social network topology and their activ

It literally prepares the audio for export, though. There is an export setting that allows you to choose the audio codec, channels, encoders, target true peak or LUFS level, and then normalize or "optimize" (built in limiting and

Technically speaking, you cannot put lettuce in a Greek salad because it will by definition cease to be a Greek salad once lettuce has been added. Edit: Wait a moment. You can put lettuce i a Greek salad. It just happens not to be a Greek

I'm assuming the FBI is investigating in all of those cases and, if there is a further threat, will close down those companies / arrest their management? Or is this a case of "hey look, our bots are doing illegal things but w

> some quality "literature", of some form In my opinion, we will continue to need fully educated people who read books and peer-reviewed articles. We need literature, not "'literature', of some form."
