Isn't the selling point of AI that it does it for you? What's to learn?

From a 2019 news article:

> New AI fake text generator may be too dangerous to release, say creators

> The Elon Musk-backed nonprofit company OpenAI declines to release research publicly for fear of misuse.

> OpenAI, an nonprofit research company backed by Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman, Sam Altman, and others, says its new AI model, called GPT2 is so good and the risk of malicious use so high that it is breaking from its normal practice of releasing the full research to the public in order to allow more time to discuss the ramifications of the technological breakthrough.

Isn't the prompt then whatever token is token zero?

Altman has estimated one year until ChatGPT is capable of measuring time passed.

I used "rushed" because they decided to add it while everyone was still figuring out what it was for. That behaviour goes against the OP's claim that Apple "waits to understand what the thing is capable of doing" before acting.

It feels like we're rewriting history. There was a lot of blowback at the time.

In case you're wondering who they mean by "AI experts", I checked the Pew poll:

> Note: “AI experts” refer to individuals whose work or research relates to AI. The AI experts surveyed are those who were authors or presenters at an AI-related conference in 2023 or 2024 and live in the U.S. Expert views are only representative of those who responded.

By now they would have done a sweep with Mythos to remove any existing bugs and protect it from any cybersecurity attacks. So what could realistically bring it down at this point? Internal espionage?

Did something change? HN has always been very pro-AI until recently, and now it seems to have swung dramatically the other way. Not one comment even agreeing with me.

Didn't they rush to integrate ChatGPT into their OS back in 2024? Reality doesn't seem to align with your description.

Altman has made suggestions on how to fix this. I believe his main one is for AI to be subsidised so that it remains free for public use. The public could then use those free tokens to enrich themselves and offset any negative societal impacts.

I feel like Altman's PR team is dropping the ball. We somehow need to get the word out that AI tools will benefit all of humanity, not detract from it.

Question: if I disallow all of OpenAI's crawlers, do they detect this and retroactively filter out all of my data from other corpuses, such as CommonCrawl?

The fact is my data exists in corpuses used by OpenAI before I was even aware anyone was scraping it. I'm wondering what can be done about that, if anything.

Maybe they're about to open source their weights?

If you read the whole fable, the hare lost because he stopped to lie in the grass.

If he had just kept going, he would have won easily. It would have been embarrassing for the tortoise.

I feel like right now is the worst time to be idle. Stopping to smell the roses or lie on the grass when you could be spinning up agents and burning tokens means you'll be left in the dust.

It might be hard for people in other countries to fathom, but Americans, by and large, want this.

Funny, I made my own model at home and got even higher scores than these. I'm a bit concerned about releasing it, though, so I'm just going to keep it local for now.

> Why are corporations allowed to do with impunity what could land even a teenager years in prison? Is there no rule of law anymore?

Those laws are intended to protect corporations. If corporations are the ones doing the scraping, it doesn't make sense for the same laws to affect them.

Upcoming midterm elections and lack of public support for the war.

Lego has the resources to take on the AI labs infringing their copyright, but they're instead choosing to ignore it. From where I'm standing, it doesn't seem like they care very much.

Having AI create music frees us up to do other things with our time.

I'm waiting for Anthropic to realise they can just set a few thousand agents loose to do just that, and monopolize the entire software market overnight. I'm not sure why they haven't done this yet.

I honestly don't know why this guy is hiring Alice and Bob in the first place, instead of just running two agents. He seemed to be saying it's to invest in them as people, but why? What is the end goal? If the end goal is to produce research, then just get the agents to do it.

You need to learn how to practice. Anthony Jones has a video called "how to study better", where he walks you through his process. It's directed at concept artists rather than pixel artists but the same principles apply. I'd suggest watching it.

If Trump wasn't embarrassing for them before I doubt they're embarrassed now.

Research.

Doesn't it depend how they're storing the data? If it's sufficiently transformed, it could be considered fair use.

If we don't innovate in dark patterns, China will.

The scammer sounds Australian, but he pronounces mobile as "mobil", like an American. I wonder if he's doing that intentionally to provide cover, or if he's worked with Americans so much in the past that it's changed his pronunciation.

In my experience Opus 4.6 is the best.
