Which part of copyright law are model weights governed by? (Or, if not by copyright law, what's the legal basis that would let you choose a "license" for model weights?)
Refundable always means to original purchase method. What I'm referring to is usually identified as "change fees."

If you cancel a non-refundable non-Basic Delta, JetBlue, American, etc. ticket you will get the entire ticket value as credit for future flights.

If you cancel a Basic ticket, you usually get the entire ticket value less a flat fee. Some airlines don't give any credit.

If you cancel a Refundable ticket you get the money back on your credit card/bank account.

Considering Ilya regrets his decision, implying this wasn't an e/acc vs safety debate, the two most likely scenarios to me appear to be:

A) DeAngelo getting revenge for custom GPTs killing his company Poe's core product.

B) The board discovering Sam working to use OpenAI resources/IP to further his own personal business/political goals.
I dont think there is a large overlap here.

Twitter seemed to be adult daycare with a HUGE amount of positions that openly did nothing all day, many many positing publicly about how they only actually worked a few hours a week. Along with a Huge business support staff that seemed to really be pointless

I do not see that analog at OpenAI which has mainly engineering positions.

Also the idea that you just just "aggressively re-hire role" engineering positions in a emergent field like AI seems to be bit naive to me. How many experience people outside OpenAI are their int he first place??

It seems to me to be very ironic that in other situations is seems to be common for people to hate on corporations that treat their employees like interchangeable widgets that can just be replaced on a dime with a new human, yet here we see people claim that exact thing. Very odd
Why keep them around when there are hordes of qualified, recently laid-off workers ready to take their spot?

And, not every person from OpenAI is getting flooded with offers. Maybe a few key scientists/developers.

If anything, putting OpenAI on their resume might get workers preferential treatment for an initial interview. Maybe.
Even if only 1/4 of the people threating to resign, resigns, its still like 20% of the company leaving abruptly without any sort of handover. They might keep the light on for chatgpt and the API's, but its going to blunt growth and re-hiring isn't done in a heartbeat. You need to vet, test and onboard new employees. You're looking at a setback of at least 9-12 months of growth and research
I prefer it over Chrome. It's a (mostly) de-botnetted browser that allows deep customization and control.
The laws here are in a pretty sad shape. For example, did you know that companies that synthesize DNA and RNA are not legally required to screen their orders for known hazards, and many don't? This is bad, but it hasn't been a problem yet in part because the knowledge necessary to interact with these companies and figure out what you'd want to synthesize if you were trying to cause massive harm has been limited to a relatively small number of people with better things to do. LLMs lower the bar for causing harm by opening this up to a lot more people.

Long term limiting LLMs isn't a solution, but while we get the laws and practices around risky biology into better shape I don't see how else we avoid engineered pandemics in the meantime.

(I'm putting my money where my mouth is: I left my bigtech job to work on detecting engineered pathogens.)
>> If they don’t do anything else they just need the employees to fold on their threat to resign. Even if the employees resign, ChatGPT is still running and there are lots of people willing to take the defecting employees spots.

I think you can assume that there's a large pool of talent that would love to work at OpenAI, they were just turned off by the ... vibes ... coming from the e/acc locksteppy types.

It may be very easy to re-hire talent that's actually a lot smarter, if a bit less 'mission focussed.'

Credibility is important when making accusations, accountability is important. There is zero here. There are processes for actual whistle-blowers. This isn't it. It's worse than "yellow journalism". And it's concerning people don't see the difference.

Hey HN,

OpenAI recently announced a new feature: custom GPTs. Now, everyone can create a version of ChatGPT with access to some custom data, Google search, and other functions.

I've made a catalog of the most useful GPTs created on this platform: coolgpts.ai. For example, there is a GPT to talk to Paul Graham (https://coolgpts.ai/gpts/paul-graham) or to assist you with coding (https://coolgpts.ai/gpts/pair-programmer).

If you have your own GPT or know of other useful GPTs, feel free to leave a comment. I'll add them to the catalog.
It’s a good thing an organization like this doesn’t have the power to act politically.
I get the critique, but "just as"? Really?

It is possible for two things to be bad without pretending that they're equivalent.

And in any case, if you're worried about Firefox, use Librewolf; it will not have sponsored search suggestions. But either option is better than Chrome if you're trying to avoid advertisements.
That may very well be the case, but even then there's no reason to disallow it from the front page necessarily. Let readers make their own judgement about whether it's genuine. Heck, that's an interesting discussion in and of itself.
I blame microdosing. Psychedelics are good, but you should do solid doses and then work on yourself internally. Socializing your mental symbols doesn't work because inner journeys are inherently solitary, so you just end up with cult-like behavior.

> Licenses are, at least under US law, contracts

Not necessarily; gratuitous licenses are not contracts. Licenses which happen to also meet the requirements for contracts (or be embedded in agreements that do) are contracts or components of contracts, but that's not all licenses.
Amazing. Almost everyone resigns and they’re still pushing features. Musk was really on something when he fired almost 2/3 of Twitter.

Google owns web browser with monopoly market share.
Google uses product with monopoly market share to limit tools that allow a user to block ads that harms their other half...of which they are also a monopoly in.
There is a strong argument that they are using a monopoly to control and prevent users from choice to display or not display content, removing their choice to not see Google ads.

I'm not sure that any of this would ever have weight in the US...but it does feel off.
Alright thanks for the information. I will try to justify using one A100 for my "very important" research activities.

Of all the sad things I’ve read today, this one is surely the saddest. Good thing it isn’t based on a reality I have observed… where do you think those billions “to” Ukraine are really going?
Yes, after the N64 and playstation (and Windows 3.1), the only thing that really revolutionized gaming was (working) online play.

Of course, graphics improve with each year, but hitting those first 3D consoles (and PC games) was amazing in a way that nothing else that follows has been. Hearing actual orchestral music or live acting in a game was fantastic.

Everyone remembers Mario 64 or the expansive open world Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In the same way, Final Fantasy 7 or 9 represent the best FF games to many people. Mario Kart is still the universal poster child for group games.

I'm glad things have continued to improve, but those first few consoles had growth of an industry so much more impactful than anything from the last 15 years (again, apart from good online play).
Do you think they hired those people because they're useless?

> The board is calling their bluff right now

The board is not doing much of anything. They picked a CEO then she went to team sam. Then they picked another CEO and now he's threatening them with resignation. Not to mention the 3 other people they tried to bring into the role who refused.
You can click "hide" and move on. Everyone else who wants to chat about it can stay on the thread
They usually are not.
I'm not sure having police investigating our elected officials is such a good thing. If you look at corruption investigations of high level officials in history, they are very frequently partisan attacks. For example, the investigation into Lula da Silva turned out to have been driven by a group of right wing judges and prosecutors that had his ouster as a goal, not justice.

It's not even a question of whether corruption happens! Of course it does. E.g. maybe Lula did some kind of wrongdoing. However frequent and highly publicized corruption investigations put the power in the hands of police, prosecutors and judges and takes it away from democratic means. Frankly, I'd rather have a little bit of corruption than allow police to say who is an acceptable leader.

Part of the issue is that there is a lot of grey area in what even counts as corruption. What counts as "violating the constitution" is even greyer, especially in the US where the constitution itself is short, vague and poorly phrased leaving decisions on what is constitutional to be a political question in itself.

> The tech is fine.

Have you ever maintained the software where the original team left? I have. And though it was much less complex and cutting edge than what OpenAI is doing, it was a massive pain with loss of knowledge and time.
Isn't it better to just go after the scammers and fraudsters as soon as possible?

Otherwise somebody else will be left "holding the bag" eventually (and it will be a larger bag).

I might be old-fashioned but these fines and charges, to be clear, are for ACTUAL wrong-doing, you know, MONEY LAUNDERING. That's greedy-bad-guy stuff. It's not arbitrary or simply a matter of "avoiding drama".

Plenty of talent flooding the market right now.

Say, what agenda are you trying to push, spaceman? This is the second comment of yours in this thread trying to make it seem like everyone at OpenAI is irreplaceable, so maybe you missed the hundreds of thousands of tech layoffs this year in the US.
> Investors have no reason to worry about their investment in the tech

What? They have a MASSIVE reason to worry: 3/4 board members are clearly not aligned with the profit motive. And D'angelo has a massive conflict of interest with monetizing their models.
It seems a little disingenuous of you not to mention how I never hide the fact that it's an issue with the batteries. I'd also say that considering how great OData's patch is with the modelbuilder it's actually EF that's being bad in this case.

You could also point back to other posts like this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37538333&p=3#37541652

Authors need to come up with the literary equivalent of “trap streets”.

I can’t help but think the “proprietary” secret nature of the training data is just an attempt to sidestep the copyright issue. Like the “national security secret” line that the US government likes to use.

Crap training data = crap model.

Only licensed training data = base model not as good as open models.

Stolen training data plus RLHF to suppress this fact = great model!
Cool. Do you do any of the relevance calculations directly, or is that all handled by Weaviate? If so, is there any way to influence that part of it, or is it something of a black box?
Yes, hence the word 'settlement' in my original comment. As in: you ensure we get a controlling interest and we'll let you go quietly.

You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers.

Which is Tyler Durden's vision of the future from Fight Club.

And just like that vision, this only works if you reduce human population by 90% or more. If I live in a condo, I don't have a rooftop to grow food. Do I starve?

Edit: It's also funny that this is listed as a point.

> We won't rely on government incentives and massive corporations deciding what we should eat. Fiat food is over.

If you want to eat "locally" (food produced on your rooftop), prepare to limit your food choices a lot more than any government or corporation would/could. No more bananas, mangos, pineapples, chocolate, coffee, etc. if you live anywhere near the 49th parallel for example.
I suspect the fact that vegetarianism is much more common among people of Indian origin has a lot to do with this stat.
CZ's statement on X after stepping down as CEO
I know how it works because I stated how it works and have worked with it. You are telling me or showing me nothing new.

I DID NOT say that any ONE prefill will make it bypass ALL disclaimers so your "You don't seem to understand that simply getting a result doesn't mean you actually bypassed the disclaimer" is completely unwarranted, we don't have the same use case and you're getting confused because of that.

It can fail in which case you change the prefill but from my experimenting it only fails with very short prefills like in your example where you're just starting the json, not actually prefilling it with the content it usually refuses to generate.

If you changed it to

```
"{
"result": ["you are very annoying.",
```

the odds of refusal would be low or zero.

For what it is worth I tried your example exactly with Claude 2.1 and it generated mean completions every time so there is that at least.

I said that prefill allows avoiding any refusal, I stand by it and your example does not prove me wrong in any shape or form. Generating mean sentences is far from the worst that Claude tries to avoid, I can set up a much worse example but it would break the rules.

Your point about how GPT and Claude differ in how they refuse is completely correct valid for your use case but also completely irrelevant to what I said.

Actually after trying a few Claude versions as well several times and not getting a single refusal or modification I question if you're prefilling correctly. There should be no empty "\n\nAssistant:" at the end.
There is a lot of literature in this area of philosophy. This is the famous "You have nothing to hide if you do nothing wrong" which has been proven 1000 times to be a fallacy.
