If there's a company that culturally doesn't understand alignment, on a human or systemic or AI-research level, it's going to be Google. (or Oracle, but they're not in this race)

It’s also not happening. They’re saying that because they need to somehow explain how there’s synergy between their space side and their Grok side. It doesn’t work, but that doesn’t matter to investors as long as they don’t actually do it.

I didn't realize Anthropic is a person and doing all of this for his/her/their personal use that is never shared with anyone else, and even more never for financial gain. What a fun hobby. /s

It might still be allowed for other reasons, but "personal use" isn't what they claim in court.

I am not allowed to read a book many times until I memorize it, and later record an audiobook of one of its chapters for money.

> they seem to be buying physical copies and scanning. Seems legit, that's what a human would do to learn from a book

There’s still the open question on learn vs copy/mimic/repeat.

As a human, I can read a book I bought. I’m definitely not allowed to scan it and post its pages online and upload them to an archive of scanned PDFs without the authors’ and publishers’ permission.

IIRC the Meta legal case wasn’t even about LLMs, they just torrented and shared pirated files, whether with strangers or among employees. Those may or may not have been later used for training, but it was already illegal to just share among employees.

I've heard in my home country Geppetto for ChatGPT. I'm not sure if it's still a popular term there.

It's not wrong, is it? I didn't want to trust myself, Wikipedia agrees that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to Λ = 0 (because the lower bound is now 0). This proof lowers the upper bound, but we still don't know if it's 0 or between 0 and that upper bound (inclusive).

> Consider English might not be the author's first language

The Chinese version of the website through Google Translate shows the same LLMisms, so while I don't know which version was authored first but neither was human-authored regardless of language proficiency.

You're definitely in a certain environment of readers. There are populations living on this Earth reading AI-generated books that are available on Amazon, an AI-generated TV shows. I am not recommending you try to engage and consume that content, just saying that it exists and there are people that either don't notice or don't mind.

In this article, it's just an AI-generated TL;DR, tagline, sub-title box that was badly prompt-engineered and the website owners didn't care about its quality. I am pretty sure the entire website is an AI generated news aggregator.

> Explain Like I'm 5

> Buzz is an open-source, self-hosted workspace that combines team chat, AI agents and Git hosting using signed Nostr events, so teams can keep control of their data.

Very different expectations of 5-year-olds.

They were leading the race in a niche category a few years ago. Now they are, according to some benchmarks, even on the right playing field.
