Surprisingly, most of them don't, not to the level Microsoft does at least. Can you give an example of another company as mercenary as Microsoft? P.S. The Halloween Documents give a good overview of how Microsoft thinks.

I wonder if GPT4 “traps” such questions and handles them using non-LLM algorithms. I mean Google already does it for that type of question, e.g. “capital of the irish republic” will return Dublin, Ireland. “Gronk” returns result about some

I don’t think it’s just a matter of curating data sets for accuracy. The model seem to be able to invent falsehoods on its own based on no data whatsoever - e.g. I read that researchers asked an LLM about a made up biochemist and the LLM ge

On a separate note, there is a chance this could be futile. The objective of AI like LLMs is to create output indistinguishable from human output, should it reach that stage - generated text have no telltale signs of being AI output - then

Personally I would file the loudness wars under bad mastering too. Properly mastered CD audio is the near the best audio you can get as a consumer - you have 24 bit 96kHz audio but that's really overkill as the noise floor with 16 bits

As mentioned I’m not an expert but what kind of distortions can there be in properly mastered 16 bit 44.1kHz PCM? I know there is distortion from quantisation but that’s a solved problem with dithering and noise shaping, no? Clipping is jus

You should really be more specific. Digital file sound quality can range from crap (<=64kbps MP3) to higher than CD quality (losslessly compressed 24 bit 96kHz audio) - BTW CDs are digital too.

Digitalise the censored version so we have a copy. Then remove the censorship so we can see the original as intended.

Are they doing Intel 7+ or something? The only refresh I heard of is the Raptor Lake CPU refresh which will be Intel’s 14th gen CPUs - which might enable some features like the Digital Linear Voltage Regulator (DLVR) that were disabled due

To my knowledge, Sony mostly fund the development of games and keep the rights to them - e.g. Demon Souls and Bloodborne were funded by them, they own the rights, and of course they are exclusive to PlayStation; maybe they will appear on PC

I don’t understand why Microsoft doesn’t build up their exclusive library the way Sony does. Yes, it’s riskier but so what. Sony could do it. Microsoft definitely has the money to do it. Not to mention making former multi-platform franchise
