The the article expresses underlying sentiments that appear as sociological dysfunctions of looking for a one weird thing "way out" and the expectation of action by someone else.

1. Once upon a time™, everyone was subject to the same mainstream broadcast of information by news, TV, and radio and the equivalent of church gossip and stoop chatter from their immediate neighborhood. That's no longer the case. Instead, there is endless bifurcation of perspectives leading to disconnected anomie by hyper-connectedness and information overload. As such, there is no desirable simple solution to online solidarity, community, connectedness, and suppression of bots other than by an undesirable totalitarian state doing away with technology or eliminating all other platforms except a single one, then only permitting real identities that can be verified. The larger solution for humanity is public, semi-private, and private commons free from the yoke of megacorp pseudo-"free" privacy exploitation, placing a thumb on the scale of issues, influence peddling, censorship, selective hate and outrage magnification, and digital mass persuasion causing tectonic shifts in sentiment (beyond manufactured consent, it's engineered consent for mostly profit reasons). The means of this is by a well-run, usable, non-addictive-but-useful nonprofit funded by micropayments pushing aside commercial social networks by optimize beneficial, decent interactions, solidarity, local community connections, and discovery of the real world. (Yes, semi-utopian as a laudable goal to strive for without being the only consideration.)

2. With the rise and evolution of the internet, there was a silent shift of the burdens of intellectual and moral courage, risk-taking, and effort onto a few influencers and creators that belies the prevalence of learned helplessness, isolation, and feelings of powerlessness (increased anomie). Commenting on works, even this, is by its nature, pseudo participation that isn't creation beyond a squeak into the maelstrom. Creation and effort means action in the physical world of humans and material, and works beyond commenting. One modern sociological barrier to this is the expectation of credit or approval for work. Instead, it requires individual discipline and attitude for collective betterment regardless of approbation or complaint lacking constructive feedback: a. "Be the change you seek [by assuming no one else will be the first]." and b. "Just do it™", create art, or writing one's thoughts independent of approval or disapproval.
It's an introductory book though? I don't think it aims at being comprehensive

That said, i do agree that more on transformers would be nice since they're becoming quite central in every field of machine learning.

Prompt engineering is extremely new, vastly empirical, and theory on is still only beginning (though i do remember seeing some nice papers passing). It would probably be a mistake to include it in an introductory book

I have never heard of "double deep", what is that?
So if I use 500 pages/minute scanner it will be fine?
> This is what the crux of NYT's lawsuit is about, and making laws about AI training isn't going to make a difference to that.

The claims of NYT are more than just about training. They're claiming that as part of the ChatGPT software; it _looks up_ stuff in a database of articles. That is beyond _training_.

If a human kept around a briefcase of NYT articles they didn't pay for and let you view them for a fee I think everybody would agree that's copyright infringement.

The focus on "whats the difference between an AI and a Human learning" is a great slight of hand to bypass the obvious copyright infringement OpenAI is doing.
Well it's a different jurisdiction entirely - but if that case was happening in Japan after this ruling it'd likely be extremely easy for OpenAI to win the case.
What’s the work? Would you say it ought to be legal to distribute a really good prompt to generate a copyright character? What about an embedding?
Basically, before 1994 the official Australia coordinate system was not optimized for GPS, which was not common when the system was developed, and so didn't exactly align with global coordinates. The 656 foot change was mostly about that, not about tectonic changes.

AGD is Australian Geodetic Datum of 1984 and GDA94 is Geocentric Datum Of Australia 1994.

> The AGD provided a reference system that best fit the shape of the earth in the Australian Region but its origin did not coincide with the centre of mass of the earth. National datums were commonly non-geocentric before satellite based navigation systems were established in the early 1970’s. The distance between the origin points of GDA94 and AGD is approximately 200 metres. When the coordinates of a point on the Earth’s surface are converted from AGD to GDA94 this translates to a coordinate difference of approximately the same amount. The difference varies slightly depending on where you are in Australia.

> Previously, a change of about 200 metres occurred in the year 2000 when Australia shifted from the Australian Geodetic Datum 1984 (AGD84) to the Australian Geocentric Datum 1994 (GDA94).

Nowadays you can use the Australian Terrestrial Reference Frame, which is time dependent and automatically adjusts to compensate for tectonic movement: https://www.icsm.gov.au/australian-terrestrial-reference-fra....
This is little more than baseless fearmongering.

"zip up copyrighted images using a nn" is trek level technobabble.

that's not how NNs work.

how the hell does it even connect to privacy?

copyright isn't what makes it illegal to expose and have your medical records

it's privacy violations, which this doesn't even touch
My opinion is that people should just state that conclusion rather than make these silly comparisons.

That's pretty good. I have no doubt that Gmail spam protection is better than my self-hosted SA protection. For me, independence from a somewhat suspicious large company for something as important as e-mail is worth it.

How though? You don't need an LLM to copy and paste a Disney character and post it on a million websites. An LLM returning an output isn't the same as publishing something. It's not being redistributed by virtue of just being output by the LLM.
Yes, for example, `p` commands for printing and `w` commands for writing, visual hex editor (`VP`), and bit-level editor modes. There is room for improvement, but I already used it to reverse unknown firmware formats, so it's usable in that regard.

You can even explore various histograms with `p=?` and `p==?` commands (they will print help for these).
I know that it's hard to pick the "best", but it sure seems like the folks from the CHI conference can't make up their minds.
Yes there is - why should a well-proven law against plagiarism just evaporate if the human gets an ai to do it instead of does it themselves? Either the law should be revoked wholesale or it will have to be applied wholesale.
Copyright is a dumb system in the first place. Information wants to be free. People can still pay other people for a promise to create more content, or to create custom content. Companies can still have trademarks and patents for a couple of years. And states, royalty and rich people can still be patrons.
My comment doesn't say what my opinion on the topic is, just that pencils and LLMs are hardly comparable due to difference in speed and scale.
AI training is no different than a human reading copyrighted material and training his biological brain. In neither case is the "brain" allowed to regurgitate source material in its original form. And as long as that doesn't happen there is no copyright violation.
That could be the case and likely is in areas where they are strongest, just like the articles example of how its not as useful for systems programming because he is an expert.

If you ask it about things you don't know it was likely trained on high quality data for and get bad answers, you likely need to improve your writing/prompting.
True. Designer I worked with believes the eyes focus easier on text if there is a small amount of low contrast fuzz surrounding it. I don't know if that is based on science but it seems plausible at least on white backgrounds.
Not at all. I just have no sympathy for the likes of NYC. Turning old hotels into below-market housing so that a service class of workers can serve Wall Street seems dystopian to me. Seems like Qatar, not America.
The author and I look at this very differently. He aimed to have his blog up in five days.

Last time I created a blog I aimed to have it up that day.

IMO the text is more important than the HTML and CSS
As much as I want to be on the AI industries side here. rumours of chatgpt producing verbatim copies of NYT articles kinda suggests its still going to apply to the output.

Obviously, there is a difference between training AI and using AI.

Its very hard to make a case that training AI breaches copyright in any way.

But its copyright 101 that if what that AI spits out after isn't transformative the AI retailer is getting hefty fines.

How is screening a movie training an AI?
Generative AI tweaks the original material such that it's modified beyond recognition, and non verbatim. A bit like how artists tweak other artist's work, put their own spin on it, and then pass it off as 'original'.
other comments here suggest that this is not a recent development, and it is deeply editorialized
I was responding to the author of the comment I was responding to, who was anthropomorphizing the commit itself claiming that it did something.

I agree that the person who write the code is irrelevant, though I realize that in a different way. I also recognize that it varies from Git/Linux/etc. We do it for usability and other reasons and one only needs to look at git itself to recognize that the original authors did not have usability in mind when designing it. What they built is incredibly powerful, but it's rare for usability and technical prowess to overlap.
My understanding in general with piracy is that it goes after those that do the distribution. So you downloading all possible material from where ever as long as it is not illegal is likely rather low risk/penalty.

However system will absolutely destroy you if you try to sell or distribute copies of material you collected...
I'm usually sympathetic to arguments where scale can change the fundamental nature of the thing but this doesn't really track. Because the argument is that LLMs are tools -- you can disagree with that but that's the parent's position, and those tools can be used to create copyrighted material. The quality, availability, and ease of use of those tools don't particularly matter.

The difference as far as copyright is concerned if one person has a scanner, camera, or blank cassette tape or everyone has them are the same.
I think it's notable that when the copyright holder is a business there is rarely any questioning that the copyright holder is king. But when the copyright holder is an individual or an artist, then it practically becomes a challenge for the government and/or private sector to try and strip that copyright away from you.
This is explicitly for training, not for the distribution of copyrighted material. Courts aren't stupid.
>this rolling technique allows clicking buttons much more quickly than you normally can but they're still a long way from the 30Hz strobe the hardware itself will accept

That actually kind of what I was thinking of :-) . I would have though more "modern" games , particularly multiplayer, would have software limits even as the hardware got more capable.
You seem really certain that passengers would be so wrapped up in their phones that they would be too distracted to promptly realize... there was a collision with another plane, causing their plane to split open and burst into flames.

OK.
Upon consideration, I gather that this is a list of the new emojis that were added each year.

Some of them don't display correctly in my browser, so to me it just looked like meaningless garbage. Because it's a personal website, my first assumption was that this was a list of the author's most used emoji every year (it never occurred to me to ask why anyone would track this; it's the internet).

The link at the bottom of the post makes it clearer.

would love you to publish open-source as nextra.site blog theme is not cutting it in terms of customizations. Would be great to fork it and write from IDE
not rumors, in legal docs, I haven't read the docs yet but someone else wrote a post claiming they were primed with several paragraphs of the article (I'm not sure what to believe, but the screenshots were disturbing)

(n.b. this is a complex problem and the scenario isn't quite so simple, if I hire an artist that creates work with a copyrighted figure / use a site that gives me random images it created that I know to sometimes replicate copyrighted figures, its not the artist / site / even me having the image in my possession that's a problem)
That's fair, I guess I do that too. For hardware projects, i put them in a clear plastic box and write on a piece of paper the state of the project, and then for software I usually have a markdown file with relevant notes about the project. For me, proximity to the project is more important than centralization - I guess i use a decentralized note-taking approach
> We have evolved to eat meat

We evolved as opportunists and generalists. Humans are capable of taking nutrition from plants or animals.

> and only evolved to eat plants to supplement some small things

I believe this is backwards. There are examples of hunter-gatherer societies with meat-dominant diets, but more typically hunter-gatherer diets were/are predominantly plant-based. In most environments hunting was a less reliable source of food and more opportunistic.

> But really the main benefit of meat is that you get close to the right concentrations of everything by very definition.

Not really. Maybe if you were eating chimp... but chickens have very different compositions to cows, pigs, salmon or polar bears.

> You just put a steak in your mouth and you are 80% of the way there.

It really isn't that simple. For example, it is well established that excessive red meat consumption raises the risk of colorectal cancer and other bad things.
That sounds very promising, thanks!
I recently turned on Lockdown Mode on iOS, and it has been pretty good. Very little impact for the much higher security. So far I've noticed:

- YouTube doesn't play videos for me (signed out, Firefox/Safari) on iOS. Not sure if this is linked to lockdown tbh.

- The new contact poster shares get automatically blocked. I haven't found out how to accept those for trusted contacts?

- Location sharing was automatically turned off.

- Facetime calls get blocked automatically unless I've called the contact previously. Signal calls still go through.

Every app that launches a webview gets a notification that this is running in lockdown mode on the first webview launch. Hilariously, this happened for the Airpod Setup app as well, which used webviews for showing me some legalese.
Moveable do has nothing to do with notation, it's just a sight-singing strategy, and it's mostly the default one in the United States.
Let’s see what the outcome of the generative AI law suits are. I am hopeful, but not very.
I stand by that nutsos of any denomination aren't likely to be reading your CoC closely, and that the main use of one is to make your moderation more justifiable.
Equivocating health records to art style is a laughable proposition to build an argument on. I mean, c'mon.
It isn’t an argument, it is just a statement of something which is factual or not depending on your jurisdiction, or more importantly the jurisdiction of people who see your work.
I wish there was an editorial approach for explaining such papers to the general public or the technical public (the ones with non-topic specific knowledge). Lots of knowledge is kept in expert silos.

I'm sorry to hear you had a rough experience trying aider. Have you tried it since GPT-4 Turbo came out with the 128k context window? Running `aider --4-turbo` will use that and be able to handle larger individual source code files.

Aider helps a lot when your codebase is larger than the GPT context window, but the files that need to be edited do have to fit into the window. This is a fairly common situation, where your whole git repo is quite large but most/all of the individual files are reasonably sized.

Aider summarizes the relevant context of the whole repo [0] and shares it along with the files that need to be edited.

The plan is absolutely to solve the problem you describe, and allow GPT to work with individual files which won't fit into the context window. This is less pressing with 128k context now available in GPT 4 Turbo, but there are other benefits to not "over sharing" with GPT. Selective sharing will decrease token costs and likely help GPT focus on the task at hand and not become distracted/confused by a mountain of irrelevant code. Aider already does this sort of contextually aware selective sharing with the "repo map" [0], so the needed work is to extend that concept to a sub-file granularity.

Legally, the scale of the punishment / fine, but not the legality of the base act. Also, the latter involves trespassing and probably property damage.
And obviously, success is higher when selecting a strategy more likely to succeed.

For my money I'm going to expose the person to a better strategy rather than supporting and reinforcing a clearly bad one.
Policymakers are making a tradeoff between privacy and economic value. When governments see the potential for creating large tech companies and loose copyright policy can give them an edge, they must decide to choose between privacy or economic value.

South Korea has mirrored Japan's policy: https://metanews.com/south-korean-government-says-no-copyrig...
