- Are you willing to hire lawyers or approach lawyers?

- Yes:

- Xiaomi sells products outside of China, both through their own website and through Amazon and Walmart. Sue retailers who carry Xiaomi products and sell them in the US and Europe.
- In theory, this is what the US International Trade Commission can do - block imports of products that violate US laws. EU probably has similar
- You can't do anything about Xiaomi with China's kangaroo courts within China's borders, but Xiaomi wants US dollars and Euros too so eventually they'll play ball if you're willing to take this far enough

- No:

- There is exactly nothing you can do so you should learn to take it and like it.

It's the difference between being at a beach with people in bathing suits and just doing normal beach stuff... and one of those people moving their beach towel and umbrella so that they're directly in front of you, while making hard eye contact, then proceeding to stretch suggestively, wink at you occasionally, moan from time to time, and "accidentally" drop things in front of you with bizarre frequency so they just "have to" keep bending over in such a way that you get a great view.

One's not sexual. The other one super-duper obviously is, to everyone involved, even if the bathing suit stays on.

Maybe a country with inconvenient geography. You really want to launch rockets close to the equator to save fuel, and ideally you want to launch on a path that doesn't drop debris (from spent stages or potential failures) on inhabited areas or foreign nations. Few such sites exist, but if you launch from an airplane you can just fly to a convenient location somewhere in international waters

We would be operating under the assumption that our current licensing law is ideal. Meanwhile, China/other countries will benefit from new products that we are too principled to use. Over time, what do you think will happen to the half of the world that arbitrarily chooses not to use a whole slew of new technologies?

Copyright/patent law only "works" if everyone is compelled to adhere to it. Otherwise, you're just willingly putting yourself at a technological disadvantage.
You're forgetting the part where Microsoft owns the integration, so your options as a new business are "pay Microsoft to decode the emails people are paying Microsoft to encode" or "spend man hours going through those emails without decoding them".

It's starting to make sense to me why this is a billion dollar industry like Google was. Not because of its proposed usefulness but it's ability to create a monopoly where the options are to sign an contract you don't get to negotiate, or be "outcompeted".

It feels like a mirror of Google's relationship with content creation sites. They created and continue to benefit from a reality where the options are "give Google your content for free to index and use as it likes" or "your content isn't discoverable by people".

Our constitution is supposed to relegate intrastate trades to the states via the 10th amendment.

This was nullified in wickard v filburn, where they decided growing your own plant and consuming it on the spot is interstate commerce. Obviously this is nonsensical, but the courts don't want to shake the house of cards and you'd have people screaming about the "end of the civil rights acts" and various other popular laws that depend on an extremely fudged version of interstate commerce and the 10th.
I'm.. Mostly fine with that.
Those other technologies do not require huge amounts of computing power, which provides a point of interdiction.

Yep, exactly - I think people generally regard artistic work as getting to a successful end result. When actually the process of creating something, and potentially wrecking something at any moment, is usually the most fun / exciting and fulfilling part. That magical process is lost with AI generation.

It isn’t healthy. Both for the individual and society, but that is my opinion of course. Nothing objective about it.
Considering the "discusion" I just had trying out ChatGPT (3.5, I believe), Step 2, is a bit distant.

It was impressive on general information, but as I got to more specific questions, I got a lot of vague and vaguely incorrect responses. When I provided a specific paper on the topic, it provided similar generalizations.

The weird thing is that it completely fabricated the author's name. No part of the name was anywhere in the paper. Called on the error, ChatGPT then said, "sorry for the error, it's really [Different_Name_2]". Called on that error, it then said similar "sorry for the error it's really [Different_Name_3]", then [Different_Name_4], and [Different_Name_5]... Wrong dates also, but it finally did get the date right (displayed right above the line saying "Author"..."). It also hallucinated employers for these fabricated authors.

It never did provide the right info. When I specifically prompted it with "ou did find the correct date information. Right under that there is a line saying "Author:" and following that, there is the actual author's name and employer. Can you parse and answer me with that actual information about the author?"

It first responded with a red error message. Repeated, it hallucinated ANOTHER fabrication...

I'm just astonished about the way this thing doubles down on it's hallucinations.

This really is the invention of infinitely scaled bullshit.

I was thinking about this last night. The new AI tools are like performance enhancing drugs in sports. Especially in bodybuilding, there was a really painful transition from the world of non-PEDs to PEDs. They solved that by going to natural and non-natural competitions.

Other sports didn’t handle it so well (baseball, cycling, etc)

Just as people were asking “did Lance / Sammy / Barry / Arnold really do that incredible feat without juicing?” I think that we will now be asking “did Janice really write that blog post or was it GPT-4?”

But has anyone learned the lesson? I'm sure the founders will go their merry way to another plum position and continue thriving on VC Twitter.

In the past 10 year being unethical wasn't considered immoral by a lot of such startups. I remember the intern incident at Repl.it or how AirBnB destroyed the rental market in certain geographies or the whole Uber incidents.
Part of why insurance is so expensive is the mindset that insurance will just cover everything, leading to a lack of vigilance by some.
No. Using AI for this will increase your writing skills as long as you put more than 0 effort into it.

He's presumably not doing 1) paste his draft into ChatGPT, 2) paste the ChatGPT output into the text editor, 3) click publish.

If your objective is to create a well-written and effective document (rather than having AI autowrite some useless email), you wouldn't just blindly publish the ChatGPT output. You would read through the text that ChatGPT outputs and spend a minute reviewing what it wrote and tweaking it to your liking. Over time, as you read the corrected well-written version of your original poorly-written content, your brain naturally picks up on the differences and learns how to write well.

I've experienced this personally with Grammarly. I had very low expectations going in, and I still don't like some of its suggestions, but over time as you see and apply the corrections it suggests, you naturally end up learning and improving your writing skills. It's a great learning tool.
Bitcoin begs to differ.
Those warnings and replacement schedules are calibrated for heavy use in a mission-critical office environment, where people are printing dozens to hundreds of pages an hour (depending on the specific model) all day, every day; and where any printer failure costs many thousands of dollars in direct and opportunity costs.

In a residential office with orders of magnitude less use, and very low costs for an unexpected failure, it'll probably work fine for many years.

tl;dr Used office-grade laser printers are often a great bargain for home use.
This is awesome—I love that you're building a tool that makes something that was previously scoped to a 'developer' tool available for regular users. Something like this for querying internal data would be a gamechanger for folks who struggle with SQL but need user insights!

As a former Twitch staff, I wish Emmett luck. Twitch is faced with several challenges right now: increasing competition from all sides, perpetually disgruntled creators, and pressure from their parent company to hit aggressive revenue targets while shilling for Amazon Games. This is all nothing new, and Emmett has been navigating it for years. I'm ready to believe it just doesn't seem as important now as it did a year ago. Having a child will do that.

I think Twitch could benefit from a breath of fresh air. I'm a little surprised it's Dan and not someone else from Amazon, but I think that speaks to the fact Emmett went on his own terms on not theirs. Dan knows what he's doing and he'll walk the line between doing what's good for Twitch and doing what's best for creators.
I am one of those who has been harmed.

I work at a different bank. The rates charged to banks for FDIC insurance have been based on the assumption that the FDIC would cover depositor losses up to the insured limit. By choosing to cover all losses even above the insured limit, we have chosen to put the burden for paying for those losses on all of the other banks (and indirectly on those banks depositors). I suspect this means that you will not see the interest rate on savings accounts go up as much as it might have otherwise.

I'm not saying this outcome is terrible, perhaps it was the best solution for the system as a whole. But using an insurance fund to cover a kind of loss, the insurance was not sized to address is not a choice that has no impact.

If I were in charge of everything (perish the thought!) I would probably have insisted that the uninsured portion of the deposits take some haircut. If depositors had gotten back 90% or 98% of their deposits instead of 100%, it might have increased the chance in the future that institutions with 100 million+ bank accounts would pay more attention to the risk profile of the banks they choose to invest with. Banks are rewarded mostly in proportion to the risks that they take; having a force other than government regulation that pushes in the opposite direction can be very useful.

> do not believe in Intellectual Property the eay 'the West' does.

Oh, I assure you Chinese companies very much believe in IP, at least their own - use some of theirs without permission and watch how their “don't believe” attitude sticks around. There are IP violation cases between Chinese companies, it just isn't practical for most non-Chinese concerns to try enforce anything from the outside.

What we see in China these days is very similar to the US back in Dickens' time, when copying literature like his works was rampant in the US and there was very little people from outside the US could do about it. The US only started to care about international IP regulation once they had enough to defend for it to be worth playing ball. Currently, China's companies and government have more to gain from not caring than they do from playing nice.

> So I decided not to label anything I do because it is done by humans.

I also liked the idea behind the label, but on second thoughts the whole idea behind a label sounds counter intuitive to me. Like there's some kind of truth in sticking a label on something. So, should I trust a label then? Is there some authority in a label? Do I even need authority to point out what's real and what's not? What's reality then? Does it even matter? Anyway, you get the point. A lot of questions.

And then I read further on that site, and it tells me how to use the label. Don't change the label. Don't change the color, don't change the text. I think it's human to break rules, in one way or another. Or at least to push the boundaries. So - to me - it's more human to change this label, and not use it as intended by the creator of the label.

Maybe that's the difference between AI and humans. AI will follow rules (set by it's masters), whether it allows for randomization or not, it will follow rules. Human beings - sometimes - break rules.

I find it amazing just how hard Commodore crippled the integer type in their BASIC interpreter. Not only does it take 5(!!) bytes to store a 16 bit value, but it is often slower than the floating point version of common operations.
The source code for all software produced by Chinese companies is most certainly not available in a “public domain” manner. Hence the complaining about GPL violation.

At some point, each of us can have our own ending to the series, with as many additional books as we want.

Then all recreated as a photorealistic VR show. Viewed from the perspective of the respective point-of-view character of each chapter.

The company plans to bring Copilot to all its productivity apps and will share more details on pricing and licensing in the future.
Let’s not forget the nearly unprecedented interest rate hikes by the fed almost 5 points in a year, or the 2018 increase in interest the size of bank required to have a resolution plan thereby exempting SVB or Peter Thiel’s call to withdraw $ I would have labeled the raising of the size required for a resolution plan as greed by SVB but the fed had no problems resolving SVB so it clearly wasn’t too big to fail. If the fed continues to raise I’d guess we will see more bank failures

This. I just wasted 5 minutes logging into Office365 web edition and looking for CoPilot. I wish they would have been more clear that this is not agerneral rollout.
You shared it with the employer HR, not the interviewer. Say you're an attractive person and someone now becomes obsessed with you and has your address to stalk you. That's more what I was thinking about
At this exact moment? No. But what about when it gets used for computer worms, trained on malicious hacking techniques, and it spreads through networks around the globe leaving a wake of destroyed infrastructure? This could happen as soon as this year. Modern defenses cannot stop dedicated offensive teams and now those abilities can be automated and scaled. This could be launched by your neighbor.

Or how about slightly later when a multimodal model is trained to run an autonomous weapon system? Anyone with access to a metalshop and electric motors will be able to produce terminator-like killing machines. Robotics still has some distance to go but it's probably good enough to run a gymbal turret with superhuman accuracy and speed. A small previously insignificant nation or even organization could retrofit existing platforms with such technology - guns that don't miss, missiles that ignore flares and chaff, and point defenses that shoot incoming projectiles out of the sky, and use it to steamroll much larger powers.

Not to mention the power of persuasive communication itself. Tyrants are not indestructible dragons, they just know to talk humans into killing other humans.

I'm half sleep and even I can see that these possibilities are already here, much less what will be possible in coming months and years.

>> By all accounts, SVB's banking was boring. They borrowed short and lent long, and their long bets were very safe.

Clearly not safe. IMHO anyone buying 10 year treasuries in the last several years is an idiot. Those rates were guaranteed to rise, as they could not fall below zero.

Next up: anyone who bought a house in the last few years is gonna get hurt. We knew rates would be rising, and hence prices falling. So far it's mostly sales volume dropping near zero, but soon...

And then when people are broke, many will raid their retirement investments. The stock market has benefitted for decades from people blindly (via 401k funds) dumping money into the market. More buyers than sellers equals rising prices. Guess what a jump in sellers causes...

And then after the market drops, people with money elsewhere will want to buy, resulting in one more shift of money from here to there.
Only on the scale of millions of years.
Karat embodies everything wrong with the tech industry, and Triplebyte wasn't much better. I've interviewed - and hired - hundreds of people in my career.

These people constantly make a mistake by referring to "humanity" and saying "humanity" needs to make a decision, yada yada. Yes, we're all humans. But "humanity" doesn't have much decision making power. Instead the dominant entities with decision making power continue to be national governments. And it sounds a lot dumber to say "America needs to slow the development of these technologies" during a period of intense technological competition with China.
