This is one area where I am vehemently in support of IP protection for all the writers and artists’ works being used. Unfortunately, unlike when it comes to suing individuals who copy something, the wholesale theft of generations of art and writing by AI companies is just being let slide.
Honestly I can’t argue with that. That’s the reality of the situation. But emotionally they still deserve a bigger piece of what they created.
The value of anything is what people are willing to pay for it, full stop.
The share price literally wouldn’t be what it was if people weren’t literally buying pieces of the company at that price. So it’s very literally saying what the company is worth on the open market. Even with all your obfuscation, that’s still the case.
The company’s valuation in a public company reflects the price that people pay for shares, so it shows the value of the company on the open market. The employees created this value, so it does indicate how much they each created quite accurately. And you would think that they’d at least get a representative percentage of that at least. I mean if you paint a painting and someone pays $1m for it, you get $1m gross. You make the software and IP that’s sold for $100m and you only get $100k a year, that’s kinda wack.
I thought PS5 and switch were some of the best selling consoles of all time? Just because they are in the later part of their generation now doesn’t change that.
I dunno, looks worth it.
It’s worth noting that even in the best case where we hit net zero by 2050, we will still be dealing with 1.25-2 degrees of warming for centuries. We will have to go significantly negative to get back to where we started. In worse scenarios we will be dealing with 2-3 degrees of warming for centuries.
My issue with generative AI is not that it doesn’t have uses, but that it seems to me that the vast majority of those uses are nefarious.
As far as I can tell, it has the most potential for:
Creating sock puppet accounts on social media to sway public opinion
Make fake media/ identity theft
Plagarize various art mediums and meld them together enough to make attribution difficult
Other positive use cases like summarization or reformatting seem to pale in comparison to the potential negative effects of the bad use cases. There are many marginal use cases like coding or law where you may save some time but the review required is likely not that much different than the time it would take for a good programmer or lawyer to just write it.
It was a cross post. Sorry.
None of those will mean much if Russia is allowed to conquer Europe. Every dollar we spend now will save us tens or hundreds later if we didn’t address the problem.
I’ve finished 3 fallout games but fortunately don’t remember any of it well enough for any of this to mean anything to me so I can just enjoy the show.
There’s no way he’s not on the Kremlin payroll one way or the other at this point.
Only on first episode but also very pleasantly surprised. I expect very little from Amazon and often think of cancelling it but I’m only paying about $4.00 a month so don’t end up bothering. This month I’m getting my money’s worth.
It’s really hard to know how this will play out. The models only have to improve a bit at this point to be reliably better than humans, as which time it probably makes sense to replace humans. It seems they will probably still hallucinate but do it little enough that it’s still a net gain to use them. Compute power needed to run them will surely come down.
I’m as skeptical as the next guy, but I do think they will have uses, especially in examples like radiology which he he uses as a negative case. However I’m pretty sure it will eventually be able to do the initial screening to find the 95% of cases with nothing at a rate similar to existing medical diagnostic testing and then return the other 5% back to a human to review and decide further treatment. Based on my experience with speech language models, I’m pretty sure you’d be able to tweak the models to produce mostly false positives rather than false negatives and then run it through further layers of review afterwards.
Add iMessage and Viber and I’m in.
I’ve only played the VR versions but they are the best VR experiences I’ve had so far.
I made the wise decision of getting my parents one more than a decade ago, never had any support issues.
People who like Tump, by nature, must be easily hypnotized by word salad because there’s no other justification for his existence as a political candidate. I’ve never heard a coherent chain of sentences come out of the man’s mouth.
