> If you want it delivered to your doorstep, you will pay substantially more.

I guess I'm just not seeing this? Based on their own numbers, pre-tip, when compared to the cost of picking up the food themselves, they paid about $2.50 (DoorDash, though there was a $4 off thing, so really $6.50), $9 (GrubHub), or $6 (Uber Eats).

In what universe is it unreasonable to be charged $5-$10 in order for someone to pick up and drive your food to you so you don't have to go and get it yourself? Sure, you can whine that it's a large percentage of the total, but as an absolute number, it feels pretty much fine to me.

A big problem I see with all this is that, when you pick up your own food, the restaurant gets to keep the money you give them, but with the 3rd-party delivery services, they appear to take half of that money, and redistribute it between themselves and the driver. (Arguably, restaurants should be setting their prices 25% to 50% higher for orders placed through the delivery services, but I can understand how doing so could turn away potential customers.)

Another issue comes up often: driver pay. The pre-tip amounts for the driver's portion -- for a job that the article says took the driver between 45 and 60 minutes (ouch), is horrifically bad, ranging from $6.75 to $8.43. The tips only brought that up to ~$14, which is still pretty bad for even 45 minutes of work, let alone a full hour. These drivers almost certainly cannot live in San Francisco (where the delivery occurred) on this kind of income, at least not without working well over 40 hours a week, or having some supplemental income, or packing a ton of roommates into a small apartment.

Sure, the article does point out -- in California at least -- that the delivery companies are required to pay drivers extra if their earnings per time worked don't hit some minimum. But it still seems... not great.

As an aside: if you are ordering for pickup, never use a third-party ordering system if you can help it (though some restaurants do require you to do this for pickup orders). Even without a driver to pay, GrubHub or whomever is still going to take a cut. The restaurant is better off if you just call them and place your order on the phone. And since some restaurants do advertise higher prices on the delivery apps, you might get a cheaper meal that way too.
I went through my history, for one code example I copy pasted the old prompt into new GPT4.

It was about writing a CGO wrapper given an hpp header for a lib I have.
Back then it used to give me almost correct code, it understood is had to write a C++ C ffi using extern "C" first because Golang's CGO FFI only support C not C++. And then it generated me correct CGO wrapper with a Go looking type that made sense.
The only wrong thing is that it didn't understood it had to call the initialization function of my C++ lib at init time, instead it called it in the New factory function (which would segfault when you build more than one object) trivial fix for the human in the loop move it to func init().
TL;DR back then almost perfect

Now with the exact same prompt it doesn't even generate me code, it just list me a list of tasks I could do to achieve this task and give me vague statements. If I change the prompt insisting for code, it instead give me a very dumb 1 to 1 mapping of the C++ into Go trying to create constructor and destructor functions, oh and it's tries to use CGO ffi to call C++ (even tho again, only C is supported by golang).

Good point. I’d imagine we’ll see arguments in both directions, given how grey the line is between purely derivative and transformative.

I think it’s fair to say that generative AI trained on copyrighted content will be an unmitigated win for IP attorneys all around.
I shredded all of my comments before I left.
"Google’s New AI-Powered Search Is a Beautiful Plagiarism Machine"?
To be fair, they contributed Pytorch which has defined a whole industry and is responsible for creating hundreds of billions of dollars in value or more. Contributing a set of model weights is an extremely minor thing in the shadow of that, so wouldn't exactly be uncharacteristic.
Although no longer a copyright violation it would still be misappropriation of likeness, and a violation of his right to publicity.
> With the effective implementation of AI, it could potentially boost the nation’s GDP by 50% or more in a short time.

Err.. No, it won't.

That's a ridiculous, laughable statement.

Japan 2022 GDP: $4.1 Trillion

Amazon 2022 Revenue: $513B
Google 2022 Revenue: $279B
Microsoft 2022 Revenue: $198B

So even growing a brand new Amazon, Google and Microsoft in "a short period" would be insufficient to grow GDP by 50%
This is the "guns don't kill people, people do" argument. Not saying that that proves things one way or another, just that assigning responsibility is not really a cut and dry question and many people think that it's important to look prior to the final interaction

IANAL but I believe in the US tools that are designed to circumvent copyright are illegal, which makes sense to me inasmuch as one believes that copyright should be protected
Not to be rude but Japan’s government doesn’t exactly do things for obvious or fair reasons. It does things for the benefit large companies.

One reason Japan loves “AI” is because they’re population is diminishing fast and they
see real salvation in AI. They’re much prefer to have Japanese robots doing work rather than more open immigration.

Sam Altman flew over to Japan and met the Japanese government and it's almost guaranteed he touted the usual trope that CGPT4 will almost immediately push up the GDP. The Jgov, looking for hope and answers got excited.

I’m more keen to see what modern more progressive places do.
>This hasn't been my experience.

What you mean by "experience" is unclear to me.

I agree with you insofar as everyone with even a little experience at a large company knows there are a lot of apparently low hanging fruit possibilities for automation.

But do you mean you have seen things that seem simple to automate, or have you tried to do so and found out what happens?

There is a lot going on below the surface.
The next version: When you touch an item in a photo you automatically buy it. There is supposedly a way to see that this is happening and cancel it, but that part of the interface isn't intuitive and attempts to cancel more often result in additional purchases.

This cannot be turned off, and the new phone can't be used in the first place until you set up credit card billing. It also seems to trigger "automatically" and "by accident" very frequently.
I expect llms to be hugely important to Japan for the simple reason that their workforce is dramatically shrinking, and the extremely, erm, red tapiness of their processes. Everything requires a form, and signature from someone, and maybe a second form. Processing all that seems like a good use for ai, but hallucination and accuracy will be critical for them
This is a sad news! What is going on? Really, this week has been a disaster.
As all of the requested documents should be standard business records kept in the normal course of running his sales business, and he does not have any employees, "reasonable compensation" in this matter is presumed to be zero unless he can demonstrate to a judge otherwise.
Well let's see. I think what it does is scan the internet for information and associates that with queries asking for specific information. At it's best it could provide insight for new ways to create things one might want to create, and at it's worse it might plagiarize real human's hard work and present it with no reference to those works.
Anyone who uses Kagi can add a rule to automatically redirect to their teddit instance or old.reddit [1].

There are also plenty of extensions for almost every browser that redirects reddit, which are easy to fork and update for a custom instance.

I added a custom !r bang that uses kagi to search reddit via a lens with that redirect. Works great

> When asked about the cluster by Howard Stern in a September 25, 2013, interview on The Howard Stern Show, Michael J. Fox stated, "Believe it or not, from a scientific point of view, that's not significant."

I thought Fox wasn't being accurate, but if you do the math on that, he's not wrong.

Parkinson's hits about 1 in 300 (0.33%), and that cast saw 4 out of 125 (3.2%). That sounds like it's a crazy amount more, but if you pop those numbers into an A/B test calculator, it's borderline whether you consider it significant or not, because the small sample size really reduces the statistical power.

It's definitely interesting but it's not wrong to say that it isn't significant by some statistical measures.
I personally like the Adminforge instance https://teddit.adminforge.de. It's much quicker than the original teddit.net.
I strongly disagree.

They need to actually address problems. Not throw tools at it.

The problem Japan seems to have is they don’t understand AI and than they don’t understand software, which is they don’t understand a lot of modern tech.

They’ll pay for this mistake just as they paid for being bad at software.
How is this an exact opposite of the OP's piece? The two takeaways you can get is:

- As there are no external motives (eg. for profit) held by the AI when analyzing the works it is not a copyright infringement.

- Parsing through whether the data set is legally obtained is not feasible therefore that shouldn't be the limiting factor to further development.

However as the transcript was uploaded last month, things may have changed since then.
I use Poe and got access to Claude 100k as soon as it was released. I think it's a better deal than paying OpenAI for sure, since you have access to GPT-4, Claude+, and others. They also have community bots, etc.

People could not understand the concepts behind cryptocurrency. People cannot understand the idea behind generative algorithms or large language models. The same type of scams will work and get the lions share of the public attention while the actual users of the technology go unnoticed.
This is how the government basically works in Japan.

It benefits the top 1%, everyone else is just trying to get by on scraps.

Nothing new there.
Copyright law was explicitly changed in 2019 to support AI development. https://storialaw.jp/en/service/bigdata/bigdata-12 https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/society/general-news/2023042...

Japan was behind about developing search engine service. Some people argued that it's due to copyright law (there's no fair use) and it shouldn't be repeated again. So the gov want to encourage AI developing by explicit law.
Hence the inclusion of the statistics for the United States also.

> a copy is made and reproduced numerous times when training.

Casually browsing the web creates millions of copies of what are likely the same images and text that models are trained on. Computers cannot move information, they can only copy it and delete the original. Splitting hairs over the semantics of what it means to "copy" isn't a strong argument.

> where it is an authorized viewing

What exactly is an unauthorized viewing of a publicly accessible piece of content online that has been hyperlinked to? If we assume things like robots.txt are respected, what makes the access of that data improper?

> it may output material that competes with the original

An art student could create a forgery. I could craft for myself a replica of a luxury bag. But that's not a crime unless it's done with the intention of deceiving someone or profiting from the work. Intent, after all, is nine tenths of the law.

It's an important right that you should be able to do and create things, even if the sale or distribution of the outputs of those things are prohibited. The ability for a model to produce content which couldn't be distributed shouldn't preempt its existence.

> So you may have copyright violation in distribution of the dataset or a model's output

And neither of those things are the act of training or distributing the model itself!

Since there's a lot of show and tell going on, I'll jump in too I suppose.

I work on a tool in this space called TypeSpec (aka.ms/typespec) that aims to address some of the authoring concerns folks have with OpenAPI. We're a language that feels a lot like TypeScript, with support for high-level features you might be used to in a more typical PL, but compiles to high quality OpenAPI 3.0 you can feed into your existing code/docs generation pipeline. You can see this in action on our playground: https://cadlplayground.z22.web.core.windows.net. We also support protobuf and (once my PR gets merged) JSON Schema targets.

We're not yet to beta (obviously, no website even) but we're hoping to get there relatively soon. Happy to hear any thoughts, especially from folks using OpenAPI.
> Arguments like yours are very subjective. What is "rapid". What is "surprising".

https://twitter.com/heyBarsee/status/1654825921746989057

2/3 deep learning Turing Price winners (Hinton and Benigo) are sufficiently shell-shocked by the rate of progress to be thrown into existential doubts (Hinton is very explicit about the fact that progress is much faster than he thought just a few years ago, Benigo speaks of how an "unexpected acceleration" in AI systems has radically shifted his perspective). Plenty of knowledgable people in the field who were not previously AI doomers are starting to sound a lot more concerned very recently.

As to the "oh it's just linear scaling of out-of-sight tech" line, well of course that itself was suprising. Gwern pushed the scaling hypothesis earlier than many and from what I remember even got pretty nasty attacks from AI insiders from it. Here's what he wrote 3 years ago: "To the surprise of most (including myself), this vast increase in size did not run into diminishing or negative returns, as many expected, but the benefits of scale continued to happen as forecasted by OpenAI.".

So sure there's some subjectivity involved here, but I'd like to see your propose some reasonable operationalization of "surprise at progress" that didn't class most laymen and insiders as suprised.

>> It doesn't though, does it?

> It does.

We seem to be miscommunicating, what I was trying to express is that my argument does not really require any appeal to authority. Trusting your lying eyes (to evaluate the progress of stuff like midjourney) and judging the quality of arguments should be enough (I spelt some reasons out here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36130482, but I think hackinthebochs makes the point better here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36129980).

In fact I would still be pretty concerned even if most top AI guys were like LeCun and thought there is no real risk.

I will not deny, of course, that the fact that well known reasearchers like Hinton and Benigo are suddenly much more alarmed than they previously were and the ones like LeCun who are not seem to mostly make exceptionally terrible arguments doesn't exactly make me more optimistic.
I think you’re right that commercialization today doesn’t make sense, but I feel confident that future tooling/products will draw on aspects of nbdev and will owe you and others some gratitude.

To that end, have you happened to notice some of nbdev’s design choices bleed into adjacent tooling? Which pieces do you hope to endure and take new life in future projects?

What’s the biggest barrier keeping larger audiences from developing in this “literate” manner?

I’ve been a follower of the design philosophy of nbdev for a long time, though admittedly never got to use it. Perhaps now is the time! Cheers
> Exposition does matter. He's not doing it. That's the problem.

I agree. Here's an example I give of an emacs configuration in the typical style which I don't find especially useful versus one that does use exposition:

That goes beyond rent-seeking into feudalism.

Yud is a doomsday cult leader (https://archive.is/YTqlI) who has publicly advocated using mass murder in the form of nuclear weapons to forestall his predicted apocalypse. Although they call themselves "rationalists", I prefer to refer to these extremists as ℚ-anon. Their otherwise dismissible ravings are being converted to whitewashed publication friendly versions and fanned by commercial actors in an apparent effort to secure a state backed monopoly on technology that is otherwise relatively moatless, potentially to the peril of AI researchers (including ones that work for them) to the extent that anyone takes them seriously rather than using them as a plausible excuse to hand out windfalls.

We don't have an AI safety problem, we have an human safety problem. Violent extremists are unsafe, greedy corporations seeking to suppress the free exploration and exercise of mathematics are unsafe. Existent language model chatbots are primarily just a public relations risk, at least so long as the government doesn't step in and create a monopoly that gives the market leaders choice of training biases the force of law.
