This feels like a bit of a naive interpretation of the situation. At its core — regardless of specific lawsuits, etc — the questions here are (1) should copyright laws be adapted to the new reality of generative AI, (2) should artists be

The issue at hand isn't actually directly about how the output images contained the Getty logo; the lawsuit isn't saying "you're showing our logo on your output, which isn't a Getty image, and we take issue with t

Interesting, and it's cool to see an illustration of how weird it is that there's no quick way to cross the park! It takes the same ballpark amount of time to get from east 86th St & 2nd to Kew Gardens (~14 miles apart) as it

Ha, I had the same thought! Felt almost like Blade Runner, some futuristic reality where a sad guy watches 3D videos of how great his life used to be.

I wouldn't really make a statement like the above, and I can't say I necessarily agree with it... that being said, other folks on this thread are kinda missing the point OP made: it's not that Apple TV isn't good . It&#

I think that if you, an individual who owns some crypto, wants to store your key in a password vault, that's probably fine, as long as you accept the risks (you've done your due diligence and trust your password manager is secure

I didn't mean to suggest that it's just a large mapping between exact inputs it's seen before and exact outputs — it's definitely complex! The size of the model allows it to infer statistical probabilities about related

It doesn't have a mind. When you ask it "think of a number between 0 and 100", it delivers the most statistically likely (with some random variance) response to your input text, based on what it's been trained on. In o

Just to clarify to the casual observer, parent's quote is from a one-paragraph section about how Luque's been able to be particularly productive recently, rather than anything to do with his suspension: > The university has san

I'm not at all a "kid person", and it's kind of amazing how little I knew about babies before having one. I'd say that despite this, overall everything's felt pretty ok most of the time, and I quite like the ki

Haven't thought about Digger in decades. As soon as I saw the title, the music started playing in my head... funny how that works.

I mostly find myself thankful that this site does not support embedded images. Makes it one of the only places an arachnophobe like myself can calmly click into a discussion thread with a title like this!

I absolutely agree that hiring folks who are aware of the basics is important -- essentially, you want engineers who are aware of the space of possibilities. In my view, what makes folks dislike typical coding interviews is that in the real
