The other problem with these "copyright traps" is that they do nothing to prove someone copied the legitimate parts of the data.

Suppose you recreate the entire dataset from scratch. Then someone notices (e.g. using an automated comparison) that the "trap" is in the other dataset but missing from yours, and submits it to you to add.

This is arguably too small an addition to be copyrighted on its own, but regardless of that, it would then be all you have to remove to get back to a clean version. And since it's erroneous data, you would want to remove it anyway.

The actual history of the FBI (whether the near universal perjury in fiber “analysis” cases, the repeated use of provocateurs to discredit protest, especially civil rights, movements — up through the last few years — etc.) tells of a very different culture.
The change in academia is largely correlated with the fall-off of tenured positions in favor of adjunct faculty and the explosion of administration. I don't think it indicates that there is no need for tenure, but rather that tenure provided a bulwark against the very outcomes we now are seeing.

Which, by the way, this is completely untested in courts.

Courts have decided, after a bunch of case-by-case decisions, that sampling a song consitutes creating a derivitive work, and you must obtain a license from a copyright holder to do so.

It is my opinion that training a model copies and creates derivitive work on what you used to train it, so you must have a license to train LLMs on content. I am not a lawyer, I am no one, my opinion here is worthless.

We already know that you can create a copy of something without doing a bit-for-bit duplicate because a) copyright law existed before we had bits, and b) transcoding a movie still counts as creating a copy. Recording my own VHS of HBO and selling it is still illegal.

It also only applies to public universities - private institutions can still do whatever they want.
It’s not just about tenure though. It’s the fact that the people who have the power to control everything about the public universities in Texas have shown that they will damage them, specifically by targeting faculty.

Even if I’m a non-tenure track faculty member I would probably require a Texas university to offer a significant premium over a competing offer from a CA university, for example, before I decide to establish my career there.

> And your point? That they are "a community that will pick up Chrome dveelopment in a flash"? That's not how it works.

Yes it really is how it works. You see, Chromium is used by numerous teams and products already. Developers from these projects already contribute support and patches to Chromium on the regular. That's exactly how open source development works.

> Browser development is prohibitively expensive. Even Microsoft, a trillion-dollar company, gave up on developing their browser. What makes you think that some magical community will just pick up the development of Chrome?

Microsoft (especially Ballmer era MS) sucks at a number of things. That internet explorer was a bloated piece of trash beyond all repair is hardly an indication that browser development is beyond the capabilities of an open source community. It wasn't that it was "too expensive" for Microsoft to maintain IE. It's just that IE could not possibly compete with Chromium, because they were saddled with too much technical debt from years of bad decisions.

Entire operating systems and databases are maintained by open source foundations. Have you ever heard of Linux? MS cannot compete with Linux at the server game. They waved the white flag on that battle a long time ago as well.

Besides, when you fork a project, you don't have to instantly rebuild everything from scratch. A foundation would kick things off by prioritizing bug patches, security fixes, etc. The RFC process for deciding new web features is already handled by a consortium: https://www.w3.org/

Are you suggesting that making the job less secure will make academics less interested in money, grands, trends, citations, and status? They'll be more content to just focus on the science and ignore money and fame, knowing that they can't get tenure and can be fired at any time?

US centric advice: Most states will automatically award unemployment to the employee if they are termed before the resignation date. In some cases, a dated resignation when combined with an email chain about "how to get rid of them" it will turn into a genuine legal risk. Most US HR people will advise to just respect a reasonable resign date or offer a severance agreement to avoid risk.

What's somewhat interesting is that this is a move being made by people who simultaneously claim to want more freedom of expression in general.

It's obvious to see how there could be non-Republican-friendly results of faculty being easier to fire for, say, a controversial twitter post.

So what's the thinking here? Seems like it could be...

* pure political theater, without really focusing on long-term affects

* the result of deciding to not even fight a battle for control of administration for public universities in the state (except in that case... if you think the administrators won't share your views, making it easier for them to fire professors seems foolish)

* similar to the above, but maybe a more outright battle on public education in general; possibly the first of many moves in the hope that right-wing private universities will emerge as replacements?)
I find that becoming an X who codes is easier than a coder who Xs.

To be a coder who designs you have to learn about design which is no small feat.

But to learn to code .... well all that is ... is just learning syntax and telling the machine to carry out instructions. At minimum.

Coding can't be that hard if people like me can do it.

Do you actually read any literature or are you just saying things for fun? For instance, the work in LLMs "are" knowledge graphs, wherein entire knowledge graphs are extracted from the LLM, or work in ROME which shows that much of the knowledge in relationships exist in the MLPs sections off the NN, or the larger body of works wherein KGs are used in conjunction and trained with the LLM (typically not improving the results to better than sota today), etc.
So your statement that it would be more powerful doesn't necessarily stand up in practice, but is a nice theory. Ultimately it's in the details, and it's probably possible to mix explicit "knowledge" with LLMs, but the contextualization of KGs is extremely hard in that scenario, and is handled within the LLM anyway.

I don't get your other argument.

If you push for renewables instead of wasting money on over due and over budget nuclear reactors, you can create an industry at home. Create massive amounts of jobs and improve on the technology.

It's already happening and those improvements are way faster than everything we've seen with nuclear in the recent decades.

This is correct, unless there's a reason why they should... and if they are smart, the severance will include setting the term date to the severance date.
More generally we need better protections for faculty with controversial views who can still teach and research to not get “cancelled”; better labor protections and more jobs so that faculty can advocate for themselves and receive less work (vs. getting disciplined or fired) when they are too old to effectively teach and research; better grants and more jobs so that faculty have better pay; better grants and more jobs so that faculty can only research (these types of faculty suck at teaching), or only teach and not be considered “lesser”; etc. With all these tenure isn’t necessary.

But this is Texas, with US labor protection and a culture which openly hates education and dissent, so in this specific case it’s definitively bad.
Ha! I remember when my son was about that age he came wandering in while I was using the toilet standing up. Just a little awkward to have your kid walk around the side and stare at your crotch while you pee. I get that it was fascinating for a little boy, but still.

He might have been a little younger, I don't remember precisely, I don't believe he was talking much at the age when this happened.

Soft agree. Mark’s job seems to be done. He did amazing at it 2005-2018ish, but there’s probably someone else who could do a better job today. Google and Microsoft have had enormous growth under hired CEOs in the last decade.
You make an interesting point. I initially do think there is a scale where someone should not be allowed to just destroy something just because it's theirs. In the same way the US government has eminent domain to stop someone from hoarding land that serves the greater good, I think there needs to be a similar process for a corporation that is has more influence than many countries. I don't think Facebook is necessarily there or doing something bad enough to warrant anything like that, but I do think that threshold exists where the people can say "thanks for this incredibly valuable thing, but your right to destroy it is significantly less important the benefit we receive from it so we'll take it from here." For example, what if Google just said "we're tired. We're deleting all your emails and documents and websites and domains and we're closing down tomorrow." Shouldn't someone be able to step in and say that you don't get to destroy so much value for absolutely no reason?
Tenure effectively migrated to administration which being even further from the students makes it less "school" more value extraction corporation.
My 2¢:

We live in a world where all work goes to the lowest bidder and people will always cut corners if they believe the liability won't fall on them.

The entire world could be safely powered off nuclear energy if it wasn't for pesky humans that will always lie, cheat, and steal from each other. Given that human greed is unavoidable and a nuclear accident can pollute an area for 10,000 years it's probably best to recognize our own flaws as we consider what to do with it.

I mean, here in the US we have a hard time operating trains without catastrophic failure.
Yes, agreed. Further, this has always been the case, and it's been discussed since the Facebook IPO.

The rules of the game are clear. Someone who doesn't like this game is free to walk away and do something else (most public companies don't have a CEO with majority voting power). Complaining without acknowledging the rules seems like misdirected energy.

Retrowrite: Static binary rewriter for x64 and aarch64
Heavy government involvement in student loans created a perverse incentive to bloat costs (administration) and increase tuitions.

Classic bureaucratization, really... when the buyer and the seller of something (e.g. a university degree) are disconnected by way of, say, a flood of cheap student loans, the incentive structure for the bureaucracy is to increase its own budget, staff, and therefore power.

It's no wonder that administration has exploded along with tuitions.

Lack of tenured positions really has very little to do with it.
