All of society is impacted by terrible parents who raise terrible kids.

The verb seems pretty important to me…

Those links will do very different things.

Why does the title only mention the US? It can’t do it over Europe either.

I’m always a bit skeptical about these sorts of things. Perhaps I’m just ignorant about the methods used.. but the amount of data we can get from the most distant known galaxy can’t be very much. How confident can we be that the shift in observed light or whatever is actually from the presence of Oxygen and not one of probably countless other causes, both known and unknown.

This is exactly right. I'm not sure who should get to decide what the name of the gulf should be, but it shouldn't be Google.

It’s hard to know what they hope to accomplish with this bill. Anytime you develop custom code, it’s because you need something, well, custom.

What are the chances that something custom built for one agency is going to be at all useful to the custom needs of another agency?

I just hope that the US can ban ads for pharmaceuticals.

This is 100% a factor. The internet has some pretty dark and nasty corners; therefore so does the model. Seeing it unfiltered would be a PR nightmare for OpenAI.

Can someone help me understand why it's a problem for companies to train these huge LLM on your copyrighted material? What exactly is the harm that is being done to the copyright holder?

I can understand why the New York Times (for example) wants to claim that a couple billion dollar companies have done it actual harm; but I am struggling to actually identify what it is.

Whether or not this will reduce CO2 is yet to be seen. But it will almost certainly raise the price of beef and dairy products. Taxes on producers inevitably get passed on to consumers.

Isn’t it true that the only thing that LLM’s do is “hallucinate”?

The only way to know if it did “hallucinate” is to already know the correct answer. If you can make a system that knows when an answer is right or not, you no longer need the LLM!

Certainly there is an upper limit to what our eyes/brains can perceive. I don’t know what it is, but I’d imagine 1 kHz is getting close.

The author did not commit a logical fallacy. They referenced some people worth reading if you wanted some various opinions on a controversial subject.

Apple’s justification isn’t too unreasonable.
