Doesn't this assume that no one who watched the video on Twitter would have otherwise watched it on YouTube where the payment per view is higher?

It seemingly is but it is also one of the most popular ways that public models are being updated with SFT. "Trained using ChatGPT output" is something blatantly advertised in the literature of some fairly popular "open"

In many (likely most) cases the non-teaching positions listed in this survey are staff researchers servicing a grant.

Do the people chanting that believe that to be a call to genocide or people who don't want them to be able to chant that?

That's asking a hypothetical about a hypothetical. The OP made a claim about chants on campus that I didn't hear.

Can you tell me the dates of the protests where you heard students chanting "Jews should be killed"?

Older stuff that is still around was made to a higher standard. There has always been plenty of junk and low quality goods around, they just haven't lasted.

I agree with you but there are pathways for decriminalization and legalization ala cannabis in states that have fully legalized it. There is still a difference between the "medicinal" products which require something resembling a

But recreational use of those drugs isn't legalized and the highest death toll from opiate use comes from people who move from the pharmaceutical-grade drugs to unregulated street drugs.

This is the approach I've tried in the past although I'm interested in models that generate an AST that could then be translated back into code.

I think at this point the "10x other solutions" should be measured for the cost. If I can process, in perpetuity, 100s of millions of tokens for the cost that OpenAI can do for 10s of millions of tokens one time, that is already p

It's very unfair to say that the reaction to this is because of "the Jews" and not because a close US ally who has much of the support of its military and intelligence apparatus at its disposal is doing this.

In the case of an endangered species a biologist would still have access to take samples from it and inspect it. Science doesn't have to happen in a lab but it's questionable to call something science when it involves hitting a bl

Definitely possible on even older off-the-shelf hardware. I use 24GB 4090s for 13b-sized models and have even used 12GB Titans for 7b models, admittedly at much slower rates.

I'm fairly certain all of those existed prior to Musk's suggestion of them.

It's a strange characterization to make of AI researchers who openly share all research that they want to "slow down the AI train" when it appears much more likely that people who are developing in a silo are slowing overall

Isn't the fact that advertisers are leaving evidence that they aren't fine with that? I'm not sure I follow.

This is an odd take. Today on Twitter I saw an ad for a whites-only dating service with the photo of a celebrity who very likely did not endorse the company with the use of a racial slur (with an "r" at the end). Whatever you thin

In a legal sense the people who watch the board members of charities are the IRS and the state regulators in the jurisdiction it's established.

There's a lot of speculation about this whole fiasco but strictly speaking the board would risk being in breach of fiduciary--as stewards of a charity--if they believed that an executive had misled them about the use of assets. It may

In a non-profit the role of a board is oversight, not appeasement of "investors" or stakeholders/donors. Why would going to them be required to determine if an executive had lied to the board?

It doesn't make much sense that people can't be upset about one thing that they immediately encounter because they have to first be upset by another thing that operates in the background just because you'd prefer it that way.

Or more realistically compiled code where your fraudulent methods exist in patches you don't commit to git.

I'm not sure they're totally equivalent because law degrees and jobs as astronauts aren't exactly zero-sum.

I never claimed it didn't. You can scoff at it but applied law has much more material implication compared to an individuals interpretation of the constitution. You're free to tell a judge they're wrong but it doesn't wo

Is #1 legally true in the US the way the courts apply the in loco parentis doctrine in Horton v. Goosecreek Independent School District and Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District? I understand this to be your belief but

It's somewhat ironic to frame that as a problem that "isn't understood" in the US considering what the CEO of this company was convicted of.

That's kind of the issue with non-deterministic LLMs, isn't it?
