This is interesting. I'm a patent lawyer, so all of my contract law knowledge comes from a standard casebook, but I can can tell you that the analogous questions in my field are anything but settled. > an LLM is not a human, so it c

I don't agree that even this would be obviously dismissed. Every law student learns about this case in Contracts during their first year of law school: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_v._Pepsico,_Inc . I&#x2

You are dismissive, but I assure you this kind of thing will keep lawyers and courts busy for some time to come. This raises all kinds of interesting legal issues that have no obvious resolution: * can agency be delegated to an LLM? * can a

I'm not a marketer but it's hard to see what the point of these glossy press releases without a call to action is. If I could have tried it today, I would have dropped everything and tried it. Now I will forget about it for a whi

Also, while the final result can be simply stated in a headline, performing the analysis that rules out all known sources of error is very, very difficult and can take years to validate.

I just wish it was a little bit faster. When this reaches imperceptible levels of latency, the future will be here.

What is the important distinction between a human dreaming about nonsense and an LLM sounding creative but being wrong?

It's adorable to see how many intro writings on the subject throw up the famous "Attention Is All You Need" diagram as if that explains anything whatsoever .

The Spotify UI is so weird. It's like their UI/UX team lives on an island and innovates on their own, without contact with the wider world or best practices. This is a company that tried to make themselves the epicenter of the po

Yeah, I think that, at least with respect to programming, the important question is, does college matter anymore. I think that ideally, it should not, because there are so so so many other ways to learn and prove yourself. I think college

Would be curious to hear criticisms of Tails, if anyone has opinions about it. To be clear, I'm a fan of the product -- just wondering what the other side of the story is.

The issue is that these "advisors" have to get paid. And if you are paying for mass-produced advice, the margins are guaranteed to be small. This is the kind of advice that you can easily get if you research it, but might still b

There is a test like that. It's called the "enablement" test and you must enable someone to build the thing in order to get a patent. I'm talking more about the practical act of sitting down and reading a patent. They a

I just wish patents were a little more accessible. I read and write these for a living and I have my doubts about how useful these are, in general, to members of the public. One great use case for LLMs is the translation of patents into sh

This little app makes me feel, perhaps more than I ever have before, that CA might be what's under the hood of the whole universe. (Not a Wolfram fanboy, just reporting on a new sense of awe and mystery!)

The more important question is what can replace the ad-based business model of the internet? Other than paid subscriptions, which is only a partial solution.

Yes, but the "strike" is temporary, so there's no real sacrifice. That's the main reason I think this whole thing is silly. Like any activism that actually accomplishes anything, it must be sustained and involve real sa

Yes, I understand and agree. I was correcting the OP of this thread, and got downvoted. I'm a patent attorney, what do I know. LOL. So many strong opinions about patents flying about.
