So when MS does it it's evil, but it's perfectly fine for everyone else to do it? I also don't see how any of this follows - they could've just crawled GitLab or any other OSS repository. They didn't even need Git

Honestly, I see this exact issue as the main accomplishment of Copilot. It shows that the black-box machines are to be considered harmful and are incompatible with the current intellectual property and privacy frameworks. This issue goes wa

I still don't think it's just a glorified code search engine. Context-sensitive data retrieval is undoubtedly a part of it, though and the question is how big and relevant is that part and what are the consequences? To me the bi

Since the information is encoded in model weights, I doubt that erasure is even possible. Only post-retrieval filtering would be an option. It only goes to show that intransparent black-box models have no place in the industry. The networks

To me this has way too many signs of vapourware: • highly complex technology that has been around for decades, yet the team seems to lack any experienced members (judging from the photo) • no existing solutions are beyond the test/prot

Well to me those are fundamental questions that need to be addressed one way or the other. Are systems like GPT-x basically plagiarising (doesn't matter the nature of the output, be it prose, code, or audio-visual) or are the results s

Questions like this go much deeper and illustrate issues that need to be addressed before the technology becomes standard and widely adopted. It's not about progress or supressing it, it's a fundamental question about whether it i

This is still "just" a weather phenomenon, not a change in the local climate. Events like this happen every so often and it's really hard to get some actual statistics on this, because reliable measurements only started about

The sad part is that you don't have to and still encounter one of these cases. The reason is that JS is dynamically typed and thus functions are free to return multiple result types. So you might run into one of these and get unexpecte

I would agree if wasn't for the fact that JS is a dynamically typed language. You can (and sometimes will) run into instances of this without noticing, because while you won't explicitly write true++ you might do something

Minor nit-pick: wouldn't that rather be make -j`nproc` ? Not everyone has an 8-core CPU with SMT or a 16+-core CPU respectively.
