Comment Mathematician commentary included (Score 4, Informative) 11

Here is the paper. It has some really nice commentary from mathematicians at the bottom. I recommend reading (or at least skimming) it. It's not clear exactly what the AI did, since it was "human-digested, somewhat simplified, and somewhat generalized." This quote from Melanie Matchett Wood is clarifying:

"One other concern that directly arises in this development is that there is a history of closely related ideas in the literature,.. which are not appropriately referenced in Chat GPT’s paper. If a human came up with this argument and didn’t cite such previous work, we would assume that they were unfamiliar with the previous work and came up with the ideas independently, since our professional norms require us to cite previous work whose ideas influenced our work. On the other hand, Chat GPT is in some sense “familiar” with all the previous work."

Of course, other companies like Apple, Synology, etc., wrote their own SMB server implementation after ditching Samba. And other projects often have lists of features that have to be disabled to keep the license GPLv2.

I'm kind of OK with that. When corporations get too involved with Open Source projects, it tends to cause problems.

What pisses me off is that if the press actually talked about the recession we are in, and it is a recession if you take out the ridiculous amounts of money spent on AI slop we are in a deep recession

What do you mean? You mean you don't believe Intuit's press release saying the layoffs are about AI? HR never lies, I don't want to hear anything different.

Imagine if Vizio were to become the first pro-consumer TV.

The MPA member movie studios would probably withdraw their respective streaming services from Vizio's platform on grounds that a user-modifiable free operating system fails to satisfy the "compliance and robustness" rules of whatever digital restrictions management protocol they use.

Comment I doubt most home users have heard of HTPC (Score 2) 56

Seriously who bothers with the crapware built into a tv anyway? Just use it as a dumb screen and attach other devices to it.

First, the user needs to know that "a cheap little computer" exists and can be connected to a TV. Walmart and Best Buy haven't been doing a good job of marketing these to the public. Second, the user needs the spare time to learn to administer yet another computer. Third, the user needs to be satisfied with some services limiting streams to 480p because a desktop computer running Linux and Firefox has a low "integrity level" in Widevine.
