"We demonstrate our attacks' practical viability against both real-world systems, such as Bing's GPT-4 powered Chat and code-completion engines, and synthetic applications built on GPT-4. We show how processing retrieved prompts can act as arbitrary code execution, manipulate the application's functionality, and control how and if other APIs are called. Despite the increasing integration and reliance on LLMs, effective mitigations of these emerging threats are currently lacking. By raising awareness of these vulnerabilities and providing key insights into their implications, we aim to promote the safe and responsible deployment of these powerful models and the development of robust defenses that protect users and systems from potential attacks."
Yes, of course copyright is dumb and we'd all be better off without it. Duh.

The problem here is that Microsoft is effectively saying, "copyright for me but not for thee." As long as Microsoft gets a state-enforced monopoly on their code, I should get one too.
Doesn't the same thing apply to bribery?
I can gift you something, and I can ask you to do something. But if I do the first conditioned on the second it's bribery.
> However it looks like Esperanto also has “liva”. Turnu liven tuj post la angulo ~= Turn left immediately after the corner.

If you wanted to be understood, it'd be better to say maldekstren though. I'd never heard of liv-, English Wiktionary lists it as "neologism, nonstandard" and Reta Vortaro as "malofte" (infrequent).
It would be ironic if you are from one of Eastern European country, where China financed a project, built by its own company and now the said country is facing a debt it can’t handle.
Enacting laws is not bullying. Enacting laws and then issueing "warnings" about an undefined "spirit of the law" that was intended to have been followed, that's bullying. Either there is a clear law or there isn't, if your law allows behavior that you don't want, don't blame the player, blame your law and change it.
Over the past decade, decade-and-a-half, it seems to have become quite common in at least the Netherlands to install taps that provide cold, hot and boiling water in new kitchens. These days, the higher end taps also do chilled and carbonated water.

The origin story for the boiling water tap is powdered instant soup, which isn't quite instant without instant boiling water... :)
it's "literally" the first sentence if you actually know what it means
They seem to have moved on to trans people now. Rather lazily; I'm a little shocked that the new wave of transphobes haven't noticed that the stuff they're being fed is literally just what the right-wing media was saying about gay people in the 90s, with a word-replace done. If we _must_ have absurd moral panics, we should at least try to be original about them.
> That's the point, humans don't. Why call them hostile to you if you are wasting their time

If you think a question if wasting your time, you can just ignore it.

The person asking the question most likely is not even aware that their question is shit.

ChatGPT is just a much better resource for it, especially considering that most likely it was trained on many SO answers already.
Blackmail is a stupid crime, because you could basically always do it in a way that doesn’t fit the definition of the crime. The threat never has to be directly made, and the offer never has to be directly associated with it. Only the clumsiest blackmail practitioner would ever find themselves creating evidence of a blackmail crime.
I both lost so many hours to this game and lost my love of gaming playing this haha

At a point it clicked that I was just sinking hours into a game loop that didn't benefit me in any real way... and that thought managed to carry over to all games from then on :(

Great game though if you don't have an existential crisis during it
Why use ChatGPT when you can pay 7 figures for a world leading branding agency to do the same exercise?
Yes, the idea "blue light = harmful" behind things like Flux and Night Shift is based on more lore and random studies than scientific consensus.
> No, the battle must rage on long after it's won. For the love of all that is holy, learn to take the win!

I find it difficult to compare Oblivion or Skyrim to CP2077. I mean look even at the cities in Skyrim: It is a couple houses, maybe a palace, sewers and you are done. A single megabuilding in CP2077 houses more people than either game has in its entirety if you think about it. Also, I find it absolutely funny how people think "oh there is a door I want to go through it!" Then you notice that these doors are something like maintenance access doors, which are in the real world accessible and open to everyone ... not. So why would anyone with half a brain expect to go through every single door like that? That is just unrealistic on multiple levels.

Now, about detail ... for example, you have various people playing guitar in that game and players looked at it more closely and they are really playing what you hear, i.e. it is just not random animation. The game is filled with this sort of detail that, unfortunately, quite a lot of players miss / don't recognize. Which also means a lot of work went into these things.
I you put restrictions like this on your code, then it's no longer open source.
> Blackmail consists of two things, each indisputably legal on their own; yet, when combined in a single act, the result is considered a crime.

A stabbing consists of someone's torso and someone's knife occupying the same space at the same time. Each is fine on its own, though!
> You're wrong. It's literally the first sentence of the article.

What a pathetic straw man of a paper.

It’s transparently obvious that blackmail is not a victimless crime given it’s not hard to identify who the victim is in a case of blackmail. Secondly their argument (blackmail comprises two parts each of which is legal on its own and therefore should be legal when done together) is both untrue on its face and fails given there are lots of things which are legal in isolation that are illegal together (eg it’s legal to buy alcohol, it’s legal to be 16, it’s not legal to be 16 and buy alcohol. It’s legal to drink, it’s legal to ride a motorcycle, it’s not legal to ride a motorcycle when you have been drinking etc).

It’s untrue on its face given that the threat part of blackmail may well be illegal on its own and the reveal of the information may be illegal depending on what the information is and how it was obtained..
I was replying to the comment by @wokwokwok.
Sure they can, to a large extent "cron" is the way to play this game. But would a static move be the winning strategy? Try and find out ;)
Blackmail is often restricted to publishing information regarding an illegel activity, not just an embarrassing one, in which case the public is the victim of both the potential coverup and the discriminatory enforcement of the law.
To see life evolve from algae, one would have to live 7.5 million lifespans, assuming one has a lifespan of 100 years. Ancient Egypt is just 50 lifespans away in comparison. That's the most mind-boggling fact I learnt today.

> how do they differ from a software engineer who copies and pastes code?

They differ because author of the code did not agreed to use his code to teach LLM.

> Second, if the code is hosted anywhere else, there is no guarantee that Copilot (or another model) won't learn from that

This issue should be resolved not by author of the code, but by Copilot or any other LLM team.

> Third, for me, the crucial part of open-source code is maintenance.

Even if author is against it? This is a valid argument, but results is not very different from pirating of software.
While I definitely agree with you, the other day dang declared 9to5mac as a blogspam site which should not be submitted if there is an alternative
So if I follow well, the interest is in having all different types of 'blocking stages' in the pipeline so that you can identify the points that slow down your process. With the right tool, and provided the tasks are accurately tracked, you get good statistics pointing to where you should optimize the workflow.

However, it's not so simple to read. In some cases tasks were blocked because of a superficial or nonexistent analysis, which required to get more information. Which is a clear break of the flow, since it has to be paused for the time before the meeting can happen. But sometimes, the analysis can be fairly bad and very time-consuming on the other department, making the broken flow more efficient than the flowy one if you account for the whole team and not only developer time.

Which seems to me that it's a good idea to optimize for flow only after you have enough consistency in the process, but still a powerful tool.

It's called survivorship bias (1).

The only people pointing to PHP as the right choice that kept them from ruin are those that used it successfully. Therefore, they were building something that fit well with PHP's benefits and didn't expose too many of it's weaknesses. But no one knows for sure exactly what about that project made it a good candidate for a PHP monolith, because we don't really have any science around software engineering, just hearsay and fashion.

Having rescued several 10+ person year PHP projects from ruin, none of them were on the edge because of the language itself. However, the people building those systems made an incredible mess in a short time. I think each language attracts a certain type of developer and comes with it's own community baggage. The PHP community has some highly questionable best practices. But this is true of all programming language specific communities. They tend to be insular and have a lot of "winning the last war" advice for working around the shortcomings of the language's previous major version that have been fixed in the current major version.

I disagree, there is a market. I have a couple of very handy automations in my house, like, when I turn on a light swith (an analog, classic one), HomeKit turns on a floor shade in the end of the room. Also, when the sun sets, a roller shade closes
LOADS of data - especially for industry-verticals that have heavy integration with credit-card companies (e.g. airlines include ticketing and even seat info in the metadata they submit to banks: this dates back to how air-miles rewards cards originally worked in the late 1980s) and there was tight integration between banks and airlines - even (or so I'm told) to the point of where banks' in-house "main" databases and ssytems have dozens of very, very hardcoded fields because of that early collab work - which then ossified in-place and now everyone's too scared to remove those now unused fields for fear of breaking everything.

...which leads me to believe that Cobol does not lend itself well to unit and integration testing in isolation then.
Drinking is legal, driving is legal, so it should be legal to combine them. trabant00, professor emeritus of mental gymnastics. Plz give money for study and paper.

There's plenty of things that are legal except if done in a certain way, at a certain time, with certain persons, circumstances, etc. In fact I would argue most things are legal in a limited scope than things that are legal in any circumstance.

And in the case of blackmail there's not just the two, unless you ignore the mother freaking THREAT. You are threatening somebody, that alone makes them a victim.

Kyle Simpson and Armağan Amcalar on the Future of Learning Software Engineering
We are excited to announce our upcoming live event featuring Kyle Simpson and Armağan Amcalar!
Join us on May 9, 2023, at 7 pm CET for a talk on “The Future of Learning Software Engineering”.
With software engineering evolving rapidly, it’s important to understand where the industry is headed. Software engineers now have powerful tools that can aid in the development process, making coding more efficient and accessible to beginners.

During the session, Kyle and Armağan will share their insights on how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning will shape the tech field, and what the future holds for teachers and beginners in software engineering in the age of ChatGPT.
At Coyotiv, as part of our commitment to staying ahead of the curve, we are offering our students free access to GitHub Copilot since our last cohort. We have also introduced an AI teaching assistant, which has received a phenomenal response from our students!
The event will be streamed live on YouTube and is free to attend. Don’t forget to mark your calendars and invite your friends and colleagues.
The problem is nothing comes out of it. We run retros and there are action items and they go into a black hole.

The higher ups do it to follow the process and not to fix the actual problems.

It gets tiring after a while of time wasting.
How has it come to that? The tech industry has declared in turn that privacy is dead, that labor contracts are dead, that tax obligations are dead and now that copyright is dead. Why is the most promising tool towards a better society appropriated in such a destructive manner?

People must separate their fascination with tech as such, from the predominant tech business models that are basically - you can't put lipstick on a pig - parasitic.
>Then it's very childish.

Indeed, it is, reacting to legislation, by trying to circumvent it. Say making "Apple Certified USB-C" connectors / cables which do nothing other than force consumers to pay $50~ for a cable which costs under $1 to make.

Then FUDding the community about _dangerous unauthorized cables_ from CHYNA!!!. Yeah it's childish, unethical and anti-consumer.

So ya, know, Apple's SOP for quite a number of years.
AFAIK the cause of BSOD were, among others, the lack of sandboxing.
It's hype for suckers intentionally created by the mega corps (remember "Sparks of AGI"?). The real goal is to get away with theft long enough until the regulators give up and accept their right to be above the law (aka "disruption"). And then there's the army of intentionally misguided youtube creators that want to get views by showing how they created a website without knowing html
The illegal thing about bribery is that you give money to an individual for them to do something on behalf of an organisation. Paying someone to do something isn't illegal, but you're harming the organisation by encouraging the individual to act differently than in the best interests of the organisation.
Should add 1998 to the title.
I find the argument quite ridiculous, but worse, the premise seems flawed. Contrary to the authors claim, publishing humiliating information would probably fall under defamation, which is illegal. At least in my country.

Writing nonsense as a paid academic should be a crime.
The thing is that in other cases you are allowed to threaten with legal actions. For example if I have permission to build on some land that would block your view, then I can ask you to pay to prevent me from doing this.
Would this also be a good optimisation in Haskell? Haskell code sometimes ends up pointer chasing down lists too. I wonder if the standard libraries or maybe the compiler could do this?
> Take a look at FFMPEG, the most popular and feature complete video library out there: it’s huge, consisting of several DLL files and lots of dependencies.

What? You can compile it with just the stuff you need and only activate stuff without any dependencies. Static linking is also possible if too many 'DLL' files is a issue.

But vulkan video decoding is still cool.
Obviously they still haven't learnt how to not be racist or sexist.

Even if you have path tracing, the "primary" rendering (ie seen triangles) will almost surely use classic rasterization because it's simply so much faster still w/o any real downsides.

Secondary rays (GI, non-planaer reflections) though are quite hacky to accomplish with rasterization and benefits immensly more from the availability of raytracing extensions where your "only" problem is that you can't sample as much as you'd like so you need to converge a solution instead.
There is a difference between open source and free.

> I really enjoy the acceleration though

I dream of an electric motocycle that can accelerate like hell and emit almost no noise. Just like Tron or something.
There's a very simple explanation:

Rules are created to optimize outcomes, not to be logically consistent.

That's it. People who think everything flows from a small set of elegant axioms are wrong. Such systems never survive contact with reality, because reality is messy and not mathematically elegant. Rules are also created by multiple parties, in multiple circumstances, and with various compromises, tradeoffs, subjectivity and intentional and accidental omissions built in, which require later inelegant patches.

The reason why blackmail is illegal though the components of it are fine is because we've seen that it leads to very suboptimal outcomes. It allows one to wield far more power than one would legitimately wield. If you reveal something embarrassing or illegal about your boss, your boss may be replaced with someone else. If you try to make an agreement with your boss without blackmail material you usually get a "fair" negotiation and outcome. The combination of both allows you to wield power you never could otherwise.

And in general a situation where people who do stuff like installing spyware or digging through somebody else's garbage manage to usurp authority isn't a good one.
Ah, interesting – yes.
Defamation requires making false statements about someone. It's not defamation to reveal true embarrassing information.
In the US, publishing true information generally cannot be defamation.
It’ll be nice when invites open up or I come across one. APIs/interfaces like this are fantastic to watch grow or contribute to on new platforms.
Is this what passes for "insight" in economics nowadays?

Can't wait to hear this author use the same logic elsewhere.

"It's legal to wish for someone's death, and legal to hand over briefcases full of cash. In this paper I will demonstrate how hiring a hitman is, in fact, ..."

or

"It's well-known that hydrogen is an explosive gas, and oxygen is an explosive gas, Q.E.D., the author maintains that the chemical H2O should in fact, also be considered an explosive gas."
Though not stated in the abstract, I assume that the information to be published is true. In the US, truth of a statement is an absolute defense against defamation. That is, regardless of how humiliating the information is, no matter the personal embarrassment from its release, no matter my intentions in releasing it, it cannot be defamation if the information is true.
This is misguided. What you want is adding a special clause to your license that disallows usage for training LLMs. Whether the code is on GitHub or not, it’ll be used to train models if it’s publicly available and the license allows it.
I don't think very much is fair about anything in that picture, but I also don't think we should hold back advances or treatments while we work that out, nor do I think that it's particularly useful to relate those two phenomena specifically, you could as well say "Is it fair we use jet-skis while those stuck in poverty making our products have such a poor quality of life? Is it fair to use iphones while those stuck in poverty making the iPhones have such a poor quality of life?", and to be honest I'm slightly inclined to say "no" to that last one...

Significant longevity treatment is likely to be highly disruptive to our society in many ways, but I don't think that we should either fall for the fallacy that we can accurately predict those ways, nor succumb to the idea that we won't or can't adapt positively.
Ah yes. More "Free" as in "Do As You're Told" from people who call their source more open than anyone else's. Coming up on a decade later, and if anything we have more to learn: https://marktarver.com/free-as-in-do-as-your-told.html
This paper seems to have too much 'whataboutism'. Sam says that we shouldn't exploit poisoned people by charging lots of money for an antitode, and the paper literally responds by calling him in favour of a 'fascist model' of society rather than being for free-enterprise.

Talk about being a straw man!
That's an interesting PoV. I hadn't thought of it.

But I don't know how much success the author will have, in his endeavor.

The horses have fled. Closing the barn doors, does nothing. The Rubicon has been crossed. The die is cast. Iacta alea est, etc.
That would make the code not Open Source.

What many people actually want is for LLMs to respect Open Source licenses, and propagate those licenses to the derived works they create.
I haven't worked with Rasa so I was wondering if I understood things correctly.

Are you using a language model to look up the correct reply to a particular response inside Rasa? Where Rasa presumably connects to some kind of backend to retrieve information or 'do stuff'?
I think the best argument here is that having the work in memory is not illegal, and human brains are not bound to copyright even when they can also be considered lossy databases. The question is where do we draw the line for a lossy database.
"I do not believe in remote work for start-ups"

Would be a better title.

However once your business has settled I don't see any issues with remote work.
