I suspect privateers would have been offended at being called pirates, but is this what is going on? If it specifically a Chinese AI company pirating Hollywood for example sure, but it seems it's more of a everyone firing at everyone s

Is it even possible to make a flowchart or is it some opaque AI scoring system?

Instant payment systems that go direct from bank to bank, assuming the banks, the government or any other intermediaries don't also decide to not allow it. Or cryptocurrency, I guess.

But is there a good reason to do a chargeback if you can easily refund it? Yes if someone stole the CC and used it buy something on Steam, but is that the concern or that someone buys something with a CC on their own account, and then charg

I've contributed some packages to NixOS, I didn't do code review and as far as I can tell nothing told me I had to. I assume that if I had said the code was hosted at mispeledwebsite.co.cc/foo in the derivation instead of git

And who is going to do all this vetting and with what budget?

That is a perennial proposal as far as I remember.

Exactly, we are in the *, the 5% (and I think that's an overestimate) who actually like it. Seems tech is at least partly moving on.

Is that critical? Doesn't it just need to be better than the alternative? Unless it's a safety-critical system.

Big Tech can jam X everywhere and not get actual adoption though, it's not magic. They can nudge people but can't force them to use it. And yes a lot of AI jammed everywhere is getting the Clippy reaction.

I add to this that we have plenty of examples of societies that don't keep up with technological advancement, or "history" more broadly get left behind. Competition in a globalized world makes some things inevitable. I'm

I think people just decided it doesn't count as ads when it's the creator doing it. And it feels more tolerable since the money is going to the creator that they probably like instead of megacorp Google.

Why am I not allowed to trust an extension just as much as I trust the platform it is running on? This is the same logic behind mobile OSes creators deciding what apps can do.

Yeah, I think grandparent has a point, but at the same time, Google Search also didn't have a strong moat, or at least not one that couldn't be replicated in a few years, and it still positively dominated the market for decades.

I don't think a human dev can divine a method signature and effects in the general case either. Sure the add() function probably takes 2 numbers, but maybe it takes a list? Or a two-tuple? How would we or the LLM know without having th

Social media does. Even person to person communication has laws that apply to it. And the normal self-censorship a normal person will engage in.

It is logically impossible for a LLM to, for example, to know that fooExecute() takes two int arguments if the documentation is blocked by robots.txt and there are no examples of fooExecute() usage in the wild, don't you agree?

I suspect the people profiting off tourism aren't the same ones who gets squeezed out by it.

How can open source models respectful of robots.txt possibly perform equally if they are missing information that the other models have access to?
116.
by jowea 1y ago
Yeah that's a great example. I think sometimes people take "code is law" too seriously, when it is clear to me the code is just a deterministic way to form a consensus that works 99% of the time and the other 1% you get forki

At first I thought of advertisers, but that is not relevant here, right? But maybe it's not just legal liability but bad press too.
