So an entity can censor HN by simply spamming the comments with disagreement. Cool.

Yes, that's exactly what Instagram argued when they changed their TOS, too. And now they're training AI on your images. Never trust a corporation when it says "trust us".

Anyone remember when Instagram changed their TOS and then said "trust us"? And now they're training AI on it. Nobody's falling for it, Adobe.

OH yes, exactly how Instagram promised they wouldn't do anything bad with your images, and yet they've recently started training AI on them. "Trust us."

You started this conversation calling my position a "pretty fake controversy". You take care now. I will not be responding to you further.

I'm sorry, friend, from my perspective it seems quite obvious you're not arguing in good faith, and I have no interest in chasing your goalposts. You take care now.

TLDR - floating point format has a great deal of precision near 0. Normally depth maps range from -1 to 1, but if you change that to 0 to 1 (and flip it) you can utilize this extra precision.

Agreed. But when you see him being duplicitous in some situations, it's hard not to suspect it bleeds into other situations.

Honestly, I think his shady handling of the ScarJo thing is what is shifting the tide. He very clearly isn't being honest there, and it's so obvious that many people are starting to question everything he says.

> or they were adding negative value It seems pretty clear that PG thought Sam was distracted from his YC job and forced him to choose. That would imply that Sam was adding negative value to YC, and PG replaced him as a result.

If you don't stop your side gig, we're going to have to part ways. If you don't stop spitting in the food, we're going to have to part ways. Sam didn't want to leave but had to leave.

I dunno man. You sound like a nice guy and all - but I don't think you can make hypothetical legal arguments. It needs to be rooted. I don't see much merit in continuing our discussion. You take care now.

Well - sure - for exotic areas of the law. Can the president pardon himself, etc. Just seems like this area isn't that exotic.

Fair enough. But then Midler v Ford doesn't support your argument. Do you have a case that does?

To elaborate on the other comment - It doesn't even need to sound like the person. It's about the intent. Did OpenAI intend to imitate ScarJo. Half the people of the world thinking it's ScarJo is strong evidence that it&#x2

I understand that the voice actor does not sound like ScarJo to you. But you need to understand that it does sound like ScarJo to a lot of people. Maybe 50% of the people who hear it. Those kinds of coincidences are the things that make yo

The Sinatra vs. Goodyear is completely different. In that case, the company had licensed the rights from the rights owner (which happened to be someone other than Sinatra.) If OpenAI had written Spike Jones a check, it would be similar, b

Well, she actually did say "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska." So, it's pretty close to a real thing Palin said.
