I feel the same way. But just want to point out that the link is actually satire and makes a push for the same side as yours.

Deceptive habits like this give ML a really bad reputation and gives me so little confidence that this technology will be used responsibly as ML becomes increasingly powerful.

Didn't google used to incorperate this into their search rankings? There's no way they still do that today right? Imagine how amazing it'd be if they suddenly turned on the button to downrank pages as a function of how many cookie banners and autoplaying videos etc you have to click away to get to the content.

> Writers have a responsibility to ensure that they take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of their statements, and that those statements are clear.

What a crazy take. Writers can write whatever they want. A book of poetry or prose doesn't have to meet some HN rationalist level of accuracy and rigour.

I was initially annoyed by this title but now I'm gonna switch my perspective to being happy that ideas like this are floating around since it acts as a really cheap signal to tell if someone knows what they're talking about or not when it comes to ML.

Another great option is https://textsynth.com/playground.html (made by the very impressive developer Fabrice Bellard - of linux in javascript and world pi digit calculation fame). He deserves some money funneled through that site for his efforts over the decades (and the output is about as good as gpt-3 imo).

If you copy a piece of GPL code but change the whitespace or some arbitrary number that produces the same output, does that still still break the license (if you don't make the source public)?

Makes me think of how gross it is that they still milk avicii's brand to this day years after his body left our world.

The 'inverse square root' carmack trick is hardly trivial.

We're probably a long way away from narrative, but dall-e for video is probably only a year or two away from now (they're probably training the model as we speak).

Unless every invention is gonna be AI generated (which is kind of a scary situation), intellectual property still needs to be a thing (otherwise people won't have incentive to invent, it'll just be stolen from them).
