Copyright law is more of an ideal, and if it had "never been the case", there wouldn't have been any content to DMCA off of YouTube in the first place. US copyright law is fighting the tide, not conveying a natural order.

Truthfully, I agree with this new stance of theirs and believe it's always been the case, but there's no doubt that they're only adopting it now because it's become advantageous.

I do agree with the overall trend the author is observing, but I guess what I was getting at is that this is sort of an old problem extending to the web. There's a unique social stigma around "bots" that isn't applied th

I find it strange that bots are considered distinct from humans. Bots don't spring from the ether, they're made by humans - even the AI-powered bots. It might be better framed as "half the Internet's traffic comes from a

I see the "town square" analogy used a lot, but it's ignoring the actual purpose: it's an advertising platform, run by advertisers for advertisers. The presumed function of communication (something it certainly was start

It was deliberate - maybe you realize that, but "conflating" is something usually done by mistake. Review outlets are more akin to journalists, in that their job is to sort through the noise to help improve awareness for all. Infl

You're getting the gist of my point. I bring up being in a place hotter than Boston to point out that it's high temperatures that strain the value of a window unit, not mild or cold temperatures. A lot of Europeans defined by the

I think the point I keep trying to get across here is "a lot of peoples' environments and/or architectures do not accommodate this" and you keep rebuking with "well my environment and architecture accommodate this

Unsealed window units are terribly inefficient to the point of being cost-prohibitive for some. The more windows or rooms, the more it compounds. You develop "heat pockets" in the nooks and crannies furthest from windows. What&#x2

The cost of AC is more than just "stick a window unit in there". I live in the States, but in a centennial home within a historic city. The thought of a window unit is downright laughable. The windows are single-paned and unsealed

If it's morally repulsive to do otherwise, wouldn't this stance be for the sake of feeling better? I do agree with you; I just love the barber paradox as well.

While I agree with them, I've found a lot of the other responses to not be conducive to you actually understanding where you misunderstood the situation. AI performance often decreases at a logarithmic rate. Simply put, it likely will

Also Kvelertak, whose first album is 100% metal and even features guest vocals from prominent Norwegian black metal musicians. I've spent a lot of time on MA, but boy, they can be so childishly opinionated.

Deterministic? Not anything that is "one size fits all". If your documents are of an unpredictable shape, then ML is your best bet. For both NER and QA, BERT models are very capable. To your first question, most of my ML work is p

If the Gallup poll indicating that 49% of people identify as independent is anything to go off of, this is more urgent of a matter than it seems. We're actually hitting an inflection point where voters can deny the presidency to either

I agree. It adds pacing, as you can't simply dive down one branch of the technology tree. You're forced to always be developing your offense and defense, pushing you down branches you would have ignored otherwise.

I'm talking about an "at scale" point of view. A 90-95% success rate would be at worst 9:1 odds and at best 19:1. That means your best case scenario would be a likely failure on every 20th inference. This may be passable on a

On reddit, this might seem like a burn, but here, you need to explain that claim and not just hope somebody rides with it. How is tinkering with an API an actual understanding of AI? Please actually explain

Heavily disagree, and this just seems like posturing from the other side of things. I understand AI rather heavily, and have been a part of the scene far before the explosion of even the first GPT model. Frankly, I've been quite irked

No. No they are not. Do not keep proliferating this idea, as there are real consequences. Your input only informs the likelihood of the output. There is no model actually extrapolating rules from the information, so the premise of LLMs bein

As someone who works closely with legal billing, I'm also calling BS. I can attest firsthand that lawyers regularly get deducted on bills for spending too much time on their tasks. There's an entire market (well over 50 companies)

I get what you're saying, but do you feel that you require that nuance to be acknowledged to understand what the article is getting at with the word "man"? I miss elegant, succinct language. George Carlin's point about &

Logistic Regression is simple to implement, supports binomial, multinomial, and ordinal classification, and is a key layer in NN, as it's often used as an actuator that sorts a probability into a discrete category. Very good for specia

You come off as condescending to assume that someone who doesn't agree with you must be doing so on an emotional basis. That's like me assuming your response is based in a need to justify being cheap. I'm speaking of a specif

I'm not sure that's a valid statement on either count. There is plenty of work being done to bolster GANs with diffusion, in an attempt to take GANs where they couldn't before. Here's one such example: https:/&#x2F

I find that Amazon's prices are their trap, and it gives the illusion of having more. I buy lots of cheap components for creating music, and I get far better quality for my dollar from Sweetwater than I ever have on Amazon, even if Ama

This is essentially the premise behind Generative Adversarial Networks, and if you've seen the results, they're astounding. They're much better for specialized tasks than their generalized GPT counterparts.

These types of decisions come to be from only considering the upsides. Anyone who considered a single downside would have reasonably concluded that this is a terribly unwise decision.
