The thing that makes ist questionable is the dishonesty. It's not like Meta has been building their empire on open ecosystems. If this was something that was dear to them on principle, there are plenty of things that they could have

The comment insinuates that the study did not control for age. The study controlled for age. It's not terrible to not make a good point, but it's not a good point. The not good points should not be ranked highly.

You should probably be a bit more surprised. There is a class of people (specially) in business, who threaten a lot habitually and don't act on it, if you call the bluff. The reason is that a lot of people do cave. "Free" win

Note that this is about absolute pollution, not relative to power output. Pollution is high, because power output is high. Relatively, for what it's worth, it's just a fairly normal gas plant. So the most interesting thing to take

The difference being, that this time it's (at this point: obviously, but previously much debated) a gapfill. I think it worked out quite well for us, to add some friction and extra human thinking between bad agents and good agents, eve

Forever preserving the content of a rare book by consuming one (1) copy is the kind of thing we should always be doing more of. Roughly nobody would have had access to that copy. Roughly everyone can now benefit from its content.

Not really. Most things take more time to transform than people think, even if capabilities exist. Which is not to say that they do exist, but rather, independent of whether they exist, that this is not very surprising.

That is probably not going to be the important difference. You can't use it for theoretical physics because you have no meaningful question and there is no result that you can do anything with. In contrast you don't need to be a c

Interesting how that once again matches human intuition: It's easier to know what you don't know, than to know what is true.

I think at some point the issues around copyrighted work and model distillation have to be disconnected to advance either idea. 1) Compensation of right holders is one issue. 2) Distilling models is an entirely separate issue, because model

Vague or broad complaints on empirical topics is hard to address. Everything can just fill in their own ideas of what is going on or who they mean. I think the direction has been pretty positive so far. Models are getting better, and things

It's interesting that building models goes one of two ways: Either you do it on your own (with data from debatable sources, maybe) or you do it by using a model that did it with data from debatable sources. The later is obviously depen

It's more simple: They infringe on the IP by way of violating the ToS. If you violate ToS and the company suffers financial harm, they usually can (usually) sue you in civil court for damages.
