Why does it matter if some artist uses ChatGPT to knock-off your style indirectly rather than directly?

I mean, sure, ChatGPT is better at it than most artists. Is that the problem? The quality of knock-offs is too good now?

Take any new song - and any music head can list several songs it is just like. Take any new movie - and most screenwriters could go on for hours how it's almost exactly 10 different movies. Etc.

I imagine this was a political compromise to let politicians advertise the availability of low cost insurance plans for low earners like young people in jobs without health insurance so they were not hit with the tax penalty that used to exist for not having health insurance.

Over 30 is likelier to be making more money and in jobs that do subsidize health insurance so they are likelier to buy it. And since the whole scheme is actually a mechanism to tax, you cannot let everyone opt out of the tax.
Nah, you see this belief that baristas and grad students are the real elite. It goes back to thinking class is a cultural thing. So your rural landed gentry is working class because they own a truck.

I agree that AI is totally capable of rating a business plan. However, I think that the act of submitting a business plan to be rated requires some degree of humility on the part of the user, and I do doubt that an AI will “push back” when it comes to an obviously bad business plan unless specifically instructed to do so.

The whole concept of free will is ridiculous; it implies that a person is isolated to themselves, when of course we are a soup of ecosystems inside of a soup of ecosystems.

Asking the question "do we have free will" is really just an encoded way of defending your sense of ego. Even if you answer "no, there is no free will," it still presupposes the concept of "I".
True. But from my personal and peer experience, the majority of companies/teams have meetingitis. There is a nice idea to put a price tag on every meeting by multiplying hourly salary of every participant by the count of participants plus some coefficient. Then, everyone, including management, would be self-conscious and had to justify the time spent. Especially if you put it into a budget of every department.
There is currently no law in the US or EU that I'm aware of that consider models trained on PII or copyright data to be considered as including that data. This is the core issue everyone is discussing about copyright around models and whether publicly scraped data is fair use for these purposes.

Until this is decided, likely by a long series of trials in high courts, or passage of law through the appropriate legislative bodies (and then likely after many challenges to it) will GDPR and CCPA be able to apply to these language models.

So no this is not currently a violation of any law.
We are also liable to mistake politeness and tact for incompetence or foolish "herd behavior." Something I've realized as I've aged as an autistic person is that I was quite obnoxious about this in my youth. Neurotypical people are typically much more aware of the social context of their words and actions than we give them credit for: they aren't stupid they are trying not to embarrass us or be cruel.

My considered opinion is "if it's not purely functional, it's art". Every other definition ends up self-contradictory. Screwdriver handles are art - 1,000 models of screwdrivers, all doing their job just fine, yet all with different handles. That's the designer putting forward his ideas of what evokes comfort, power, notability, progress, and whatever else, and in turn two different screwdrivers will generate different feelings in their owners. That's art; it may not be art that appeals to millions, or endures centuries, but very little does.

Look I consider myself an artist, and am very creative. But the vast majority of art and artists are following after other's previous work. It's really not that unique, and frankly why AI can generate some things so well - because everybody's doing it!

Artists who focus on truly new art aren't "in some AI" because it's unique or not easily reduced to some model weights.

The economics of all this are challenging for graphic artists and illustrators for sure!

Exactly, the deflections of 'racism' and 'sexism' are thought-terminating cliches bandied about in an act of pure class war.

No, because the executive of a browser company (an apparent agnostic software tool, not a social media network) is advocating for "deplatforming" ... you don't think thats strange?

Mozilla, from my understanding, has always been big on privacy first and data protection. This most definitely goes against their ethos, which is understandable, given how they've been hijacked over the years. I'm glad these advocates of "free and open software" show their true colors, it makes it really easy to not use their software. I'm not alone on this either.

"Experiences" and "content" are not equivalent. To take a very simple example: Go outside. Look at some geraniums. There are probably other examples, but red geraniums are pretty common and cheap in temperate climates. If you've been looking at screens for a long time, geranium petals look impossibly red. Red roses also work. Why is that? Because they're a real physical object whose colour properties cannot be accurately reproduced in an image using standard RGB colour. Even after billions of dollars of R&D and decades of research, the best sensors and screens in the world cannot still accurately reproduce the simple act of looking at a flower. And yet here you are claiming that these models that've been fed nothing but digitised facsimiles that we know can't even accurately represent common situations are equivalent to the experiences of living beings?

Here's a common experience most people will have had: Think about what it feels like to slip and fall on a wet road and skin your palms on some gritty tarmac. Think about how many senses that involves, and how it's a basic experience most people have had. And now consider how we aren't even remotely close to the process of beginning to digitise such a basic experience.
> Fix Mozilla. Or fork Firefox and create a team with equal resources.

What is there to fix? I use Firefox as my daily driver, and I think it's already flawless.

To me all major browsers look and feel the same. There are subtle visual queues to remind us of which app we're using, but browsers are pretty much interchangeable nowadays.

What exactly do you believe Firefox does wrong that Chrome of even Edge or Safari do right?

I wholly approve of the office as a place where people can socialize. But it's patronizing to try to make that argument to people who don't get anything from it, since you are essentially telling an adult that they don't know what's good for them, that they aren't getting what they think they are from virtual socialization, and that their absence is somehow harming the socialization of others. And even people who don't get anything out of it are usually coming to a physical get-together occasionally anyway.

Many schools in the US provide their students with laptops and Chromebook is the overwhelming favorite. The student has to return the laptop at the end of the year. As an anecdote, I know of no one who bought a Chromebook for personal use. My friends, colleagues and acquaintances are buying Macs or Windows machines if they want a laptop, iPads or Android tablets if they just want a tablet.

In a way, Google's strategy of getting Chromebooks into schools may have backfired as they're largely seen as kids' computers.
I can tell you a good reason for it. At one company I was working for we had an API that we sold external access to as the back end for large health care providers websites and mobile apps.

But we also used it internally for batch processes.

In one case latency was important so we hosted the app in an auto scaling ECS Fargate cluster behind Nginx and in the other case throughput was important so we could just deploy the same API to Lambda.

Yes I know about reserved concurrency.

Same. I tried changing the dates and location search. All that happened was a recenter/zoom, but no homes were listed.
That's the difference between perm/consultant I guess.

Perm is more "we pay you so fix this", consultant is more the reverse "we need this fixed so we'll pay you".

I always find that dynamic hilarious because in a general sense permanent employees have more value than contractors/consultants as perms usually have a much longer tenure at a company (years and years, vs 6 months to 1 year).

However one thing I noticed after moving to the UK is that the culture is completely different here - everywhere I've worked here there are contractors who stay for years and years like a perm would. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make me reconsider why anybody would ever be a permanent employee beyond a bit more job security (ie long term contractors definitely have to trust that they'll be renewed, even if they usually are it's always possible for the business to decide otherwise).
First of all, it's not a nation who pays in case of a breach. It's some company. Nation as countries do not have anything to do with it, unless they create some laws denying payments. Which would tight control of any businesses in hands of politicians signing off indulgences (exceptions to pay as "too big to fail").
Yes, the examples correlate with affluence, which is a necessary condition for them to be included in this article; but it is obviously not a sufficient condition, as all "luxury beliefs" from elsewhere on the political spectrum are excluded.

My point is that this is a bad faith argument. The author pretends to care about "luxury" beliefs, but in truth, all he cares about is finding a cheap shot against feminist positions. He intends to delegitimize these positions by painting them as an upper-class fringe ("luxury") concern. Once this angle of attack is found, the author never stops to see that the same attack could be levied against any number of political positions that he himself might agree with, because he was never interested in a real debate to begin with: he only wants to smear and ridicule.

The point is not that the examples are also "correlated" with something else, it's that they're carefully cherry-picked and made a target for an attack that would work against conservative positions, carefully excluded by the author, just as nicely as it does against liberal positions here.
I thought the point was that society was completely wrong and was basically overhyping the thing they'd all bought into. They had decided their method was so superior that naturally born people wouldn't live past 30. He'd already well beaten that, outlived his parents and didn't seem sick now. Society was far removed from reality and somehow forgot that natural birth worked fine for all but very recent human history. I find this statement about how society works more compelling than the cautionary about genetic discrimination.

There are a handful of problems with this approach, which is part of why these types of insurance policies are incredibly expensive. The entire MO of these operations is to infect a company's systems, and wait until most or all of the backups are affects before locking the system down.

> "it's" is a contraction for "it is".

It's true, but it seems orthographically inconsistent with other possessive forms; after all, "John's" can be a contraction for "John is," or it can be the possessive form of the name "John." By analogy, one might think that "it's" can also take on both meanings, but that's not the case.
