I'm becoming increasingly cynical that the lack of privacy in online communication is what most of the sponsors of these bills are after, and people thinking of the real harms to children are useful to them.

I should really give it another look, I usually ended up not adopting it for projects because of the boilerplate and high setup overheard, but those are both things that ai agents can usually be trusted with. Maybe the calculus has changed.

there is little other remedy to monopoly power?

Businesses, the consumers who buy their products, and the global workforce.

Oh, apologies, I'm not saying that King didn't risk considerable injury or death. I'm saying that I don't think he is talking about that in this particular passage. The passage gp quoted is about how accepting lawful pen

This works when protesting an unjust law with known penalties. King knew he would be arrested and had an approximate idea on the range of time he could be incarcerated for. I don't know if it's the same bargain when you are subjec

That will look like a photo of a printout though. Seems easier to just hack the hardware to get it to sign arbitrary images instead.

Thank you, this is fantastic to know! I think we have to normalize requiring this or similar standards for news, it will go a long way. Ideally we would have a similar attestation from most people's cameras (on their smartphones) but t

I think we're never going to be able to have robust ai detection, and current models are as bad as they'll ever be. Instead we really need to have the ability to sign images on cameras that show these are the bits that came off th

It’s a joke because they do not see themselves as an organization, they bought a personal account, were banned without explanation and their only communication refers to them as a “disabled organization”. Anthropic and Google are organiza

Then I’m confused about what is confusing you haha. The absurd language is meant to highlight the absurdity they feel over the vague terms in their sparse communication with anthropic. It worked for me.

by mattnewton 9mo ago
Because they bought a claude subscription on a personal account and the error message said that they belongs to a "disabled organization" (probably leaking some implementation details).

The parent poster was saying X was better than the BBC, I certainly wouldn't have picked that one, but it's likely because they get their news from conservative outlets outraged by the recutting of Trump's speech on January 6

Last time I went on X my feed which I curated from ML contributors and a few politicians had multiple white nationalist memes, and engagement slop. Fact checks frequently are added after millions of impressions. I am sure there are very sma

I wish I could tune out, but unfortunately these policies do affect tech and startups.

Please think more deeply about the consequences here. Besides even the first amendment’s right to assembly, these videos show just people driving by.

This wouldn’t bother me as much but it’s really like 5-7 days depending on freight use of the lines and they can’t tell you ahead of time what it’s going to be somehow?

This is what I am getting at; the system is bringing skilled immigrants with some unskilled and some abuse, the baby and the bathwater. We should be focused on keeping that skilled immigration flowing, instead all these attempts are presupp

Not only are we throwing the baby out with the bathwater, I feel like the current rhetoric in the US doesn’t even acknowledge the existence of the metaphorical baby anymore. The strongest advantage of the US has always been the ability to a

Maybe I was being imprecise, but I’m not sure what you mean by “not how LLMs work” - discovering patterns of how humans write is exactly the signal they are trained against. Either explicitly curated like SFT or coaxed out during RLHF, no?

by mattnewton 10mo ago
I think it’s a popular style before gen ai and the training process of LLMs picked up on that.

> Basically, Congress did not do its job and ignored the very law they voted for. It feels like this is increasingly the case. Not sure what the solutions are.

Absolutely, the qualifiers are mostly because I am not knowledgeable to say what caused the situation _now_, not because the facts of the US backed coup damaging Iran are at all in dispute.
