These examples miss the mark somewhat. The "2" in "2π" can mean several things (the nonnegative integer 2, the integer 2, the rational 2, the real 2) that are all commonly identified but are different. The "2" in "x^2" usually means the nonnegative integer 2. The "2" in "2x" can usually mean the nonnegative integer or the integer 2, but also the other 2's depending on what x is. The problem is not that the meaning of 2 varies across different expressions, but that it can vary within each single expression.

The best example is perhaps the polynomial ring R[x][y], which consists of polynomials in the variable y over the ring of polynomials in the variable x over the real numbers. Any algebraist would tell you that it is obviously just the two-variable polynomial ring R[x, y] in disguise, because you can factor out all the y-powers and then the coefficients will be polynomials in x. But the rings are very much not the same at the level of implementation, and every time you use their "equality" (canonical isomorphy), you need to keep the actual conversion map (the isomorphism) in the back of your mind.

Sometimes the PDF itself has to be signed. No conversion from forms. Also, tons of people would rather not have to download the PDF and email it, especially if they are on mobile. There's almost 0 usability advantage to doing that, because Adobe acrobat or whatever other pdf reader that users have and lets them sign stuff is often worse than even a JavaScript implementation. I'd much rather just sign on the browser than send an email back and then... wait or not have an immediate confirmation, or just having to deal with anything else than just pressing next.

If you then delete from the Recently Deleted album it says that the photo “will deleted the selected photos from iCloud and all connected devices”.

If a gay man is saying that he’s willing to listen to homophobes for valuable things they might have to say on unrelated topics, I don’t think that is “morally gross” at all, I think it is evidence of wisdom.

I’m not defending what he is accused of doing here re Scarlett Johansson’s voice—prima facie he appears to be in the wrong. I don’t have an opinion on other allegations against him because I haven’t investigated them in sufficient detail to form one.

As evidenced, yes. This reeks of corruption to me.
And it's even worse (in terms of lack of alternatives) than the headline suggests: The next two entities visible on the chart are the Chinese and Russian space agencies. Sanctions likely mean that most Western companies can't access at least the Russian capacity.

If you're looking at at least marginally Western-aligned or neutral countries, you have a Japanese and Indian company with ~1% of SpaceX's launch mass each, and everything after that, including ULA, is so small it's only visible on the inset zoom-in chart (together less than 1% of the entire mass).
Asking someone to license their voice, getting a refusal, then asking them again two days before launch and then releasing the product without permission, then tweeting post launch that the product should remind you of that character in a movie they didn't get rights to from the actress or film company is all sketchy and -- if similar enough to the famous actress's voice, is a violation of her personality rights under California and various other jurisdictions: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights

These rights should have their limits but also serve a very real purpose in that such people should have some protection from others pretending to be/sound like/etc them in porn, ads for objectionable products/organizations/etc, and all the above without compensation.

They likely have a legal position which is defensible.

They're much more worried that they don't have a PR position which is defensible.

What's the point of winning the (legal) battle if you lose the war (of public opinion)?

Given the rest of their product is built on apathy to copyright, they're actively being sued by creators, and the general public is sympathetic to GenAI taking human jobs...

... this isn't a great moment for OpenAI to initiate a long legal battle, against a female movie actress / celebrity, in which they're arguing how her likeness isn't actually controlled by her.

Talk about optics!

(And I'd expect they quietly care much more about their continued ability to push creative output through their copyright launderer, than get into a battle over likeness)

I just got this working. The workflow is a little wonky to me, but better than I've seen from other AI-in-the-terminal solutions:

Setup:

1. Go to Settings (⌘+,)

2. General > AI. Put in your OpenAI key. I went with GPT-4o. Make sure you set the token limit to 4,096 or it wont go.

Using:

1. At the terminal window, hit Edit > Engage Artificial Intelligence, or just hit ⌘+Y.

2. Type in the command you want, then hit OK or Shift+Enter.

3. On the result window you can hit Shift+Enter again to paste the result into your terminal.

The whole Shift+Enter workflow is odd to me. I'd prefer just Enter. However, I like that I know exactly what's being sent to OpenAI. The integration doesn't try too hard to send everything over.

It's good to see iTerm get some updates too!
tts with separate channels for style would do it, no?
I mean, how about picking a lane? The AI community really doesn't get to take "oh my gosh we're on the brink of unleashing AGI! the human race is under threat!!!" and "chill out, this is just Photoshop" as simultaneous positions to argue from.
EDIT: cite source

I have yet to see any evidence of this. To the contrary, we have seen for years that advances in LLMs require orders of magnitude more parameters/power for each generation. Neural architecture search has been underwhelming. RLHF seems to have regressed models like GPT3.5+, rather than improving them. And recently, researchers concluded that multi-modal models require exponentially more data for each extra "mode" being added to the model.[0]

Even in my own experimentation, I've tried to get some AGI-like behavior, and it just isn't there. I have convinced GPT4, for instance, to generate XML source for an SVG, but it looks nothing like what I describe.

I'd argue that these models don't generalize well at all, and I'd bet that, like with Moore's Law, advances in AI will require continual discovery of incremental new innovations and occasionally new architectures.

> I have yet to meet anyone who felt any kind of emotion from generated art, except for "wow, it's cool that AI can make this".

Have you ever observed how difficult it is to _remember_ AI generated pictures?

I can think of only one AI-generated art thing that has stuck with me, and it's because of the enormous amount of effort the guy using it went to generating really genuinely creepy fake photos to go with a plausible but fake story (about a lost expedition in the early era of photography).

I thought at the time, OK, maybe people will do creative things with it. Maybe I am wrong.

Except that months on I can't remember any specific detail of any of the photos in enough detail to visualise it. Only the emotion and the feel, which could have been evoked by that talented person entirely without Stable Diffusion.

There is something about AI generated photos, in particular, that confounds my ability to remember the image (as a photographer)

I've had quite a few months to ponder this, but I keep looping on what can we adapt to?

I feel like the only safe bet is to "adapt" out of the tech industry entirely.

They don't say that. Your entire premise is based on some random quotes from an individual?

Actually, yes they do. And you forget that Palestinians have no interest in any other avenue, so your suggestion isn't possible anyway.

I mean the UN, Amnesty, other organizations like them. Israel has controlled their land borders, even the one to Egypt, their water and airspace. They control what goes in and out, people and goods. They might have left but Gaza is not free.

No apartheid? I guess Palestinians enjoy the right to return then? https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2022/02/israels-...

The west bank is part of the whole situation, of course it matters to Gaza what happens there. It also shows exactly what would happen if Hamas did not exist, Israel would continue to allow settlers to take land and homes. I'm not saying that Hamas should exist, but its very much a situation created by Israel themselves and Hamas has support from Palestinians because of Israels actions.

May the hasbara be strong in you.
The crux of the matter is not the casualties inflicted by Israel, not directly. If it were just numbers of casualties, then Hamas's horrific attack wouldn't even register at this point (2000 victims compared to 35000). Even if it were about percebtages, Hamas's brutal attack on October 7th wouldn't be far from Israel's operation (about 25-35% of the victims of Hamas's attack were IDF personnel, if I recall the numbers correctly; IDF is not giving any numbers about their Hamas VS civilian calculations, but comparing their published numbers of killed militants with the available casualty numbers suggests at best a 50% rate, though likely much worse).

Instead, the case is mostly about intent, and that can be gaged from public declarations and actions outside of mere combat. The case against Hamas is clear, they attacked in secret, with quite likely no military targets at all, and with a clear history of anti-civilian sentiments and declarations.

The case against Israel is also relatively simple from this point of view: numerous Israeli leaders, from the president to ministers to members of the Knesset have given public declarations about the collective guilt of Gaza's civilian population, and their actions in preventing aid from entering Gaza, attacking refugees, attacking journalists and international aid workers have been thoroughly documented.

I will agree with you if

- they used Johannson's actual voice in training the text to speech model

or

- a court finds that they violated Johannson's likeness.

From hearing the demo videos, I don't think the voice sounded that similar to Johannson.

But hiring another actor to replicate someone you refused your offer is not illegal and is done all the time by hollywood.
The statement linked, apparently quoting Johannson, states that Sam Altman himself contacted her nine months ago and requested her cooperation in using her voice.

That was declined ...

It appears they continued w/out her using a voice so close that close friends are unable to tell the two voices apart.

"Accidently" indistinguishable is not a thing.

This doesn't make any sense. If it's a speech to speech transformer then 'training' could just be a sample at the beginning of the context window. Or it could one of several voices used for the Instruct-tuning or RLHF process. Either way, it doesn't debunk anything.
Honestly no. But then computer marketing hasn't sounded appealing for a while IMHO.
