If Rust didn't encourage copypasta, why didn't they just vibe code those commans wit with claude? I suspect Anthropic would have gladly donated the tokens for a permanent MIT license credit. /s

It is similar to the current problem with AI and open source. Which isn't surprising, since the open source movement and Free software especially originated in academic circles. The issue in both cases is that a valuable resource has been created cooperatively, and the mechanism of enforcement of norms is purely social. Hence it is vulnerable to exploitation and sloppification by AI companies, which are deliberately not following any norms.

If someone has a solution, now would be a good time to start developing it. Otherwise I suspect the attacked communities will close off the commons to survive, and we will all be poorer for it.

We've had this conversation in excruciating detail before, about 6-9 months ago, and we've already established that you simply don't have the knowledge about Markov chains to have a meaningful discussion on LLMs. You're just wrong about this, and I'm not going to repeat myself.

Pretty much all of them so far. OpenAI is clearly looking to brute force science problems by hook and by crook and take credit wherever possible. They have a profitability deadline coming up, after all.

It's a good lesson, though. Don't talk to your AI like it's a confidante. It's a spy, and your secrets aren't safe. And when OpenAI goes bankrupt, your secrets will be sold to the next buyer.

Yup. The hookers make $500k/year, so it can't be them.

(the oldest profession will outlive AI replacement)

Eh.... I'd call that FinTech. Financial Engineering is more... optional.

When I'm worried my phone doesn't turn itself off, I just use a small flyswatter.

(And by small, I mean large.)

(And by flyswatter, I mean hammer.)

Works every time though!

(But it's expensive! I really ought to try this long press thing one day.)

When did it become acceptable to treat Dr Evil's henchmen poorly? I blame a lack of Austin Powers remakes in cinemas. Are you listening, Hollywood? Won't someone _please_ think of the children (and wives)?

These are not Markov chains. They're neural nets. They work via extremely complex chained fuzzy logic on superpositions of conceptual states.

They are, by definition, Markov chains. It's a Von Neumann architectural Finite State Machine processing a string of bytes, outputting bytes that get fed back in. That's a Markov chain.

Don't get hung up on bullshit about "extremely complex blah blah blah.". That's just designed to confuse you.

No, few things are perfect. But the basic principle is that you cannot own ideas or information

You don't know what you're talking about. Owning ideas is precisely the point of patents.

Mini golf is so yesterday! The cool kids play micro-golf with an election microscope.

Barring that, there's always the DIY version using a plastic straw and a tiny ball of paper.

Actual tech articles would be posting AI papers and explaining what's novel, or showing videos about robots built by grad students in a university lab.

That happens here sometimes.

NonActual tech articles would be reporting on doomsday predictions and functioning as a media mouth-piece for AI company CEOs, whenever they are pushing an agenda.

That happens here a lot.

The best analogy I know is from digital media (movies, songs, ebooks...).

An AI model comprises a set of weights (lots of numbers) and an inference engine (the code that creates the tensors, loads the weights, executes the input/output loop, etc). The weights are like a movie/music/book file, and the inference engine is like a player/player/viewer software.

So in this analogy, an open weight model is like a movie MP4 file. You can play it as intended. But if you have a movie editor, you can also extract image stills, cut out some sections, move them around, rearrange the movie scenes, crop the action, etc. What you cannot do is recreate the original movie, because you don't have the actors, the sets, the cameras and the ideas.

But Open Source an Open Weight model is not.

Why does he even care to get out of jail? He's on record telling everyone who'd listen that his risk aversion is close to zero. That literally means he doesn't care what the outcome of his bet is. Well, he made the bet, and being in jail is the outcome.

Also, what could he possibly do out of jail that he can't already do in jail? Clearly he's able to talk to people, which he could do outside too. Nobody will listen to him inside or out, because he's a convicted fraud. Also in jail he gets 3 square meals per day. Outside he would have to get a job just so he could buy the meals to sustain himself.

So it comes down to personal preference. He may prefer to be out of jail to enjoy some personal money and wealth that he's kept for himself. But wait. He's an Effective Altruist. And he's on record having signed the Giving Pledge. Why would he have kept money when he's been trying to give it away to worthy causes?

lol. To *ever* exist? Do you hear yourself? Maybe step back from the bong.

The US is by no means the most powerful country on Earth ever or even today (btw how's the oil price going today?). And rich depends entirely on completely arbitrary units of account: The dollar didn't even exist a few centuries ago, and McDonald's is certainly not an indicator of a high living standard.

What is unquestionably true is that Americans live in a shared delusionary state about how good and important their country is. I generally view this with mild disdain, but you do you.

I'm glad though that you are being confronted with the reality of how people actually perceive the US in the rest of the "1st" world. A small dose of cold water has never done any harm to anyone, and judging by your lunatic outburst, you definitely need someone to tell you.
