It would be easier and simpler to use a portable LCD monitor. They do exist and are simpler, smaller, and cheaper than a VR headset. Tablets could have been used for the same use case. But...they aren't. People don't want it. What

How close is this to insider trading? I'm not an expert by any means.

If your goal is to increase game creators by order of magnitudes, and the method involves putting people in a position to make games alone, what exactly is going to keep the game market from being totally destroyed by an endless stream of v

Someone's name and bank account number are enough to write a bad check. The system was designed with a certain amount of trust in mind, and the expectation that the customers will behave in a way that makes scammers obvious.

Asking for DEI information sounds like an invitation to candidates to sue for discrimination.

I have no idea how you could think that bullying generates empathy. Bullying doesn't make people more empathetic, it makes them angry and vengeful. Your suggestion will do nothing but damage.

Technologists are spectacularly bad at understanding how much the system relies on trusting that people will do something vaguely reasonable/legal/prosocial, just how that trust is built up and preserved, and how fragile that trus

At one point most of their items were from brands that cared about their reputation - the manufacturer and the third-party seller. It took a few years for the third-party seller program to become a laundering program for no-name low-quality

I can't imagine it's stored this way in the backend. Every operation on the data would be a complicated mess of inferring the tree structure then translating back to the implied tree format.

I'm opposed to my (fairly minor) copyrighted works being used in GenAI datasets as well. I just have no practical way to stop it, and there aren't clear enough damages to sue. That doesn't make it legal.

No-one is going to buy a major media company and then throw the rights into the public domain. What they would do is buy the rights and then sue all competitors in the GenAI space.

My puzzle word has four vowels. My two guesses each four vowels, but not the same four (e.g. "AAIO" and "AEIO"), and I got four vowel matches for each guess. I know how that result can pop out of a particular way of scor

The relevant quote from the great-grandpost: "As a hobby content creator, I absolutely disagree. My content is mine, if someone else wants to use it for whatever purposes, that party has to ask for, and get permission, to do so. Which

It's not rent-seeking to want to charge for one's own work through copyright.

The intended result is clearly to supplant other information sources in favor of people getting their information from ChatGPT. Why should it matter to legality that the tech isn't good enough for the goal?

The answer to the "closedness" is externally controlled audits.

That part doesn't seem relevant to me in any case. IP pirates aren't prosecuted or sued because of a claim of ownership; they're prosecuted or sued over possession, distribution, or use.

The exact words used to explain the scientific law are copyrighted by the writer (presumably the paper's authors). Rephrasings are not copywrited by the source, but by the rephrasing entity (e.g. the NYT, or a teacher that made a hando

If they used copyrighted material or trademarks, they almost certainly _did_ pay the Goonies property rightholders and Stephen King for the privilege. Why would you think they didn't?

The ChatGPT subscription is more valuable because it's built on the theft of the NYT content and many other authors' work.

All those blogs are _also_ violating copyright, so I don't see the irony? One doesn't spend a million dollars suing a defendant with pennies to their name. I'd also expect the Times style complaint to have merit because it&#x

Including CSAM in your image set isn't excusable by "mistakes happen". Also, the totalitarian analogy is total nonsense.

I'm curious what you were aiming at?

I'm hoping you were intending sarcasm. Speaking for myself, the _last_ thing I care about is AI researcher access to massive corpora of pirated clean text. Who knows, maybe AI people _want_ the Web to fill with garbage so people have t

Inertial navigation is a sealed box and doesn't require more headcount than the H100s.

I have no idea how that relates to my question.

Why would you think handling it with another person has any resemblance or relevance to handling it with an LLM or an AGI?

I would agree if I didn't think there were really strong incentives and precedents for abuse of the technology.
