I was in an experimental trial for a one-shot medicine and I had an had a fairly severe side effect.

If it had been a normal medicine, the protocal is to stop taking it; and you're fine in a few days. I had the bad side effects for a month, and there was nothing anyone could do.

Just something to think about; things can go wrong, and dosing strategies like this don't always take that into consideration.

Yup. This is pretty darn narrow. Still important. But it won't mean much until it works it way up.

It's an excellent point. DMCA is for copyright. My take (I have a background in this area but IANAL): I think they can get away with the copyright because of the name/content usage (no one of the opposite end of the request is going to question that, it seems obvious), but I think it's clear to those in the know that's not WHY they went after this one.

In theory, they could probably use DCMA to go after anyone using the terms (right or wrong). In practicality, they used it as a tool to go after this particular one because they didn't like what they were doing.

This may be a dumb question, but do you know if this something that LLM frameworks like LangChain can (or others) can help with? Aren't they designed to help with more complex prompts/logic/outputs? Or will they run into the same token limits?

You don't own ChatGPT output -- you can't legally sell it to others.

You also, by the services terms of use, have to source when something is partially or fully written by ChatGPT.

But that's the API, not the Chat input or Playground.

Companies can use Azure OpenAI Services to get around this -- there's data privacy, encryption, SLAs even. The problem is it's very hard to get access to (right now).

And "laid off" means eligble for uneployment; "fired" often does not.

Someone from YouTube creator team commented back but on the thread but it's pretty generic -- that they're working on new tools and they're just as frustrated.

It's a well done video explaining the problem and really the frustration of creators who are fighting these bots and haven't given up.

Netflix needs to move to the KDrama model -- a set 20-24 epsidodes for a series. You know it's fixed going in. If they want to, then you do a follow-up, but then it's never expected to continue. It just is contained.

I like the ombudsman idea. A lot.

I am a tech executive in my company and my direct e-mail address is at the bottom of every Web site. Yes, this means I deal with routing all sorts of problems BUT I know instantly when there is a problem. Any problem. And I can actually help. But really it helps me with my job. It's win/win/win.

Plus, poor customer services is simply inexcusable -- you have to treat people the way you want to be treated. You're letting yourself and everyone else down otherwise. There is ethics and morals in business and they are important.

It doesn't have to be my way but there are definitely ways to do it, do it well and not break the bank.
