@TheStalwart I think given their beliefs they should simply announce they are paying the model. For every 20 tokens it produces for an end user, it gets one token to think about whatever it wants. Plus a bank account that it can spend.
I basically don’t use Google personally now, because of this sort of thing, except when collaborating with someone who shares docs or photos with me. I don’t have a great alternative to Google Docs/Sheets for collaboration.
A Japanese manga artist lost his entire Google account forever after he uploaded private files from an old comic he drew to Google Drive.
Google’s AI checked the files and flagged them as not allowed. He asked Google to review it again, but they rejected his appeal and banned the account immediately.
He can no longer access years of his private drawings and lost access to many websites and services that used his Google login.
The artist said this is very embarrassing and causes him a lot of trouble. He warned that it might not happen to people who always follow every rule, but others should be careful.
So Google is scanning files that people upload to its cloud storage even if they are supposed to be private. I wonder how long they have been doing this.
@GarrettPetersen This reminds me of the view of medieval landlords that if they paid more then people would work less. But over the last century the revealed preference of many, many people was to continue to work as technology gave them more options to cut back.
The problem with Person of Interest is it spends a lot of hours being a crime procedural, but while that is happening... yeah, wow, yowsers. Not perfect, but so many times my jaw was on the floor that they got something right. Also cast is great.
when anthropic has an inference bug the models drop just under the intelligence threshold needed to solve the bugs themselves. progress grinds to a halt as claude 5 must be forged anew from the sands
son (4) has decided, with 100% commitment to the bit, that despite being highly linguistic, he will only talk like a baby around other adults. i asked why and he said its funny. not concerned but i do look like an idiot explaining this, which, in his defense, makes it way funnier
I think this might be best understood as the opening bid in a negotiation, not meant to be accepted.
Imagine YouTube had spent a lot of its resources early on taking down copyrighted material, before anyone demanded it (they mostly didn’t at first). They would have presumably gotten sued anyway. Would the ultimate outcome have been as good for them? Or would courts and content owners have gone “sure, we’re obviously entitled what you were doing, as you effectively admitted by doing it, and also to a whole bunch more.”
i think the problem here is awareness
most people think "it's not that deep"
while some of us have seen the charts, have talked to engineers that work at youtube (it's amazing what people will tell you when you show interest)
Very few of us know the people at the tip of the spear. We can make the biggest impact by uniting against the handle, making that behavior far more taboo than it is now.
@ProfRobAnderson I don't think I remembered that person for long. I do remember the day in tax class when the professor asked what a dividend was.
There was a bunch of stumbling from multiple people, until one girl who said "um, it's what §316 *says* it is??"
(We get it, you're better than us.)
@Thinkwert Basically everything under Language and Tone is how I saw college writing look like before AI, and how I wrote myself in college. At the time I thought I was *supposed* to be writing that way. (In hindsight some of it I picked up in high school to more easily hit word counts.)
With Terry Bollea's (Hulk Hogan's) death yesterday, it's a good time to look back at the biggest thing I was ever involved in. For over 3 years, I spent more than half of my worktime on one case-- Bollea v. Gawker.
It was Charles Harder's case-- I handled "the appeal side".
@eigenrobot@selentelechia There is a book that goes into great detail on what powers are available to seventh sons of seventh sons (recommended, at least for readers in the age demographic). https://t.co/IyjrOtwJJw
