This is why "condition" exists for secondhand books. People can choose a written-in one or not. If you can't afford new, note that written-in ones are often even cheaper! I have been delighted by the writing I've seen in

That cyberattack is a sign of lack of safety, not of safety. It happened by accident. "A model being tested broke out of its sandboxing and hacked a production system of a different organisation using a previously-unknown vulnerability

By that logic, 100% of professional musicians and farmers also have a profit motive. Not sure what we should conclude from that? People do truly care about a lot of other things in their work, even if it makes them money.

Even narrowing it down to them and their actions, they still do care about many other things. You might have only seen the worst in the media.

Is that anti safety? Most of the safety pilled people seem to want SOTA models closed. There were so many security issues to patch in recent months that some open source projects stopped accepting them. I'm not sure how people still th

They are scraping too, and don't follow copyright any more thoroughly (less if you count all the licensing openai, anth are doing now)

What should they do instead? As far as I can tell from their actions they (Anth) are true believers about safety

It isn't just that, it includes publishing houses, Wiley etc, and non-live media. Even the news orgs say explicitly in the press releases that it's about training on their archive eg. http://ap.org/media-center&#x2

There's been many news stories of it over the past year(s) as they signed each one. Here's the first result I could see with a rundown of many of them (am on mobile). https://digiday.com/media/a-timeline-of-th

Fair, but isn't "illegal" access what they're talking about in OP? It does seem to be becoming the norm for AI companies to licence premium content in America, judging by the deals they're making. It doesn't se

They do seem to be paying for it (as per the 1.5Bil lawsuit yesterday and them now purchasing books and licensing from media companies). Whether we think they're paying enough is another question, but "I'm paying for content

He mentions they used quite different methods to get to the end-result. I'd love to know how much changing the prompt impacts things: like telling claude to only draw and blend, similar to sol, etc. There's likely not training dat

Yeah, it's always interesting the two-sides of a situation like this. Add regulation/enforcement to the big companies and you often shut out the smaller ones following. Meta also has copyright lawsuits for the open models they rel

Judging by the current comment section, most HN people seem to want the ladder pulled (an observation, not agreement)

Does that still work for copyrighted things in major-lab models, or only open models?

On the other hand, the consumer side of the market seems to be less competitive right now. OpenAI's new Mac app doesn't even have a normal "Chat" option now. OpenAI might be chasing coding and b2b sales more now that th

You might be surprised. Runtimes can be easier to test than UI for AI, and the bun rewrite was almost line-for-line translation, whereas CC likely uses many more libraries that cannot be ported directly. The major open harnesses are in the

They're far shorter of GPUs, apparently. OpenAI made huge hardware deals last year (which look less crazy now).

Interesting how different experiences are. I haven't hit any guardrails after a lot of dev the past week. (but I'm working on motion gesture code and similar things)

It's a direct translation without changing the overall code structure or data structures. I do think this process deserves a distinct name from blind whole-of-project vibe coding. Translation does seem to be a strength of LLMs, and as

This may not be you, but the people who have said that to me irl walk significantly less than I do. And saying these things to people who don't yet exercise can make them far less likely to start as it's a far bigger step to do so

I suspect it's the combination of wanting to capture market share (subsidised plans), being severely capacity limited in GPUs, and having bursty and absurd growth rates. There was speculation that Anthropic might be allocating fewer GP

Sonnet 5 makes more sense when you pretend the higher thinking efforts don't exist. (His test was on xhigh) Anthropic's own release announcement mentioned that it's less cost competitive per task than Opus at higher thinking

They walked back that policy on the first day after pushback. They were upfront in the model launch that they designed it that way, it wasn't secret.

Agreed. And it also applies to the "I'm not a bot" checkbox on most websites. And hundreds of other things people use every day.

The article on HN only said that they seemed to be collecting this to detect resellers. How else did the behavior change? Most services I know that are trying to block abuse do collect device info

It seemed pretty mild compared to what's collected by modern websites and apps, though? How many don't know your Timezone?
