Fully agree. They are simply making themselves unusable by innovators if every info you discuss with ChatGPT is at risk of being, let's be real, stolen.

Seems very unlikely that Anthropic uses their product to make users read a specific book

Israel is just brutal authoritarian to others. Their elections are free.

Ha! I knew it. That was way too unlikely. But it was a great narrative. Kudos to Selenskyj.

Japan cultivates those oases of mindful living to the point where it feels like art. Beautiful.

Do it all the time. If I want to understand something, just copy over all the notes, start writing down the important parts. Write down the key questions, answers, my thought process. I think of it as a crutch to focus and concentrate and wind up the wetware.

How does that have any relation to having a valuable opinion? Or was that sarcasm?

Once LLMs pass the threshold to being to invent new general-purpose methods and frameworks, the frontier is irreversibly lost to AI and it becomes simply a hobby that mathematicians pursue. They work through, digest, and maybe write up the proofs for understanding. But the real meat will be growing the LLMs. Who knew software eats the world was so true?

Actually reminds me of patent law. Prior art ist a defined term which includes all standard literature on one topic. To evaluate, whether the new solution is really inventive and thus patentable, one consults prior art, selects the most promising starting point, and from there asks oneself if an all-knowing but uncreative specialist would come up with the solution by himself. If he wouldn't, the condition of inventiveness is satisfied.

Makes me wonder how the patent space will be disrupted when that inventiveness step becomes obsolete because of LLMs. Given your example above, it seems like a combination of different methods from many different sources. This would be regarded as inventive, clearly. If eligible patents can now be brute-forced, the bottleneck becomes only selecting the most promising ones and paying for the patent.
