Yes, of course AI offered by a company can be sued. The reason corporations became legal people in the first place was specifically so we could sue them.

And then lower down we have TensorFlow 0.6.0 release. I was considering using this feature the other day to try to get a sense of what AI discourse was like circa 2019. It all blends together after a while. I ended up doing a Twitter search

Sure, in much the same was as lack of food spoilage an upside, not the big metal box I put the food in. But since one is a direct result of the other, we typically treat it as an upside of the thing causing the upside.

Nukes usually don't wipe out entire countries, especially tactical nukes. I'm far from convinced that using nukes in the Korean War would've been a good move, but equating it with "kill[ing] them all" is completely

Yeah, seems like current models might benefit from a more email-like UI, and this'll be more true as they get longer task time horizons. Maybe we want a smaller model tuned for back and forth to help clarify the "planning doc&quot

If I'll pay to get a fixed result, sure. I'd expect a Jevons paradox effect: if LLMs got me results twice as fast for the same cost, I'm going to use it more and end up paying more in total. Maximizing the utility of your p

I like that ads saved me money on a Kindle. They had an upside for me, and a downside, and the upside was worth more to me than the downside.

I think Amazon search was likely better, and there weren't fake products, but there were also far fewer products, and shipping was maybe 30% as fast. I wasn't a fan of any Microsoft products at the time, though Excel was pretty

They're me, my coworkers, my friends. Talk to people. ChatGPT and the other big LLMs has hundreds of millions of users. You might not like using LLMs. You might not find them useful. You might think they're bad and harmful (I do).

The Internet has had ads since the advent of the world wide web, arguably longer. I loved Usenet, but I also appreciated being able to have a personal webpage for free as a kid, and that was ad-supported.

Back in the day, I chose to buy the Kindle with ads to save a few dollars. (I think it was $10 cheaper; looks like it's $20 now[0].) I 100% found this a worthwhile trade-off, and so did thousands of other consumers. [0] https:/&#

A big reason we did a "fix week" at my old job was to deal with all the simple, low priority issues. Sure, there were high severity bugs, but they would get prioritized during normal work, whereas fix week was to prevent death of
