quadcore··on Japan eyes AI adoption as OpenAI CEO visits PM Kishida, talks up local expansion
Im not able to tell - using web search - if chatGPT is available in China.
quadcore··on Chat with your database using AI
So there is that one type of ideas, the obvious ones, that comes with massive competition very quickly. All Im saying is that I believe this is one of those.

It's not impossible for you to succeed, you just got to have the right strategy, which is, hit hard extremely fast. Using VCs money and strategical hiring.

You are at least 23 days late: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35186160

Also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35210093

Go faster of you want to succeed on such an obvious idea.

Do you have cofounders? Are you in SV? What about fund raising? Are the questions i would ask myself. And also you need to hire one of the bests.

Edit: not about microsoft 360, it's just about my comment.

quadcore··on New allegations of plagiarism against Roy Lichtenstein
Nothing to do with visual art, you can steal from poor artists as much as you want, they wont put lawyers on your neck.

Steal Leechtenstein work you'll see what happens.

True. The ellipse of the jet engine is "well" drawn. This is to exagerate the comic-like look one could say. Almost early Disney looking.
quadcore··on Low and moderate alcohol consumption not associated with increased mortality
Unless you prove it, a substance is not toxic. So the bias is always on the side of "it's not bad" until we prove it actually is.

So what I do to start with is as long as it doesnt smell safe (you gota judgement call on this), then it isnt. Our body is crafted to defend itself it's as simple as that.

quadcore··on Stable Diffusion copyright lawsuits could be a legal earthquake for AI
Bingo - that's what Im talking about.
quadcore··on Stable Diffusion copyright lawsuits could be a legal earthquake for AI
"is in the style of" or "makes use of the same characters"

No because in that case you're talking about, there is at least an artist.

There is no artist for a generated picture - closer than the training set.

quadcore··on Stable Diffusion copyright lawsuits could be a legal earthquake for AI
Lawyers just need to keep pounding on the fact there is no artist for a given generated picture - closer than the training set.
quadcore··on Stable Diffusion copyright lawsuits could be a legal earthquake for AI
Fair use would work if we could find an artist for a given generated picture - but we can't. Generate a picture and there is no artist for it closer than the ones who made the pictures in the training set.

I really hope these lawyers wont mess that up, it's an easy win.

quadcore··on Italian privacy regulator bans ChatGPT
I asked chatgpt some sex questions some power there sure like the answers to:

"It is important to protect oneself during sexual activities to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies. Using condoms or other forms of contraception can greatly reduce the risk of transmission and unplanned pregnancy.

Additionally, it is important to communicate openly and honestly with sexual partners about sexual health and STI status, and to get tested regularly for STIs, especially if one is sexually active with multiple partners.

Ultimately, the decision to protect oneself during sexual activities is a personal one that depends on individual circumstances and preferences. However, it is generally recommended that individuals take steps to protect themselves and their sexual partners from potential health risks."

Im sure they'd especially like the "multiple partners" part of its answer.

Okay lets take an example. Do you think the Vatican likes chatgpt?

Lets ask chatgpt what he think about sex:

"It is important to protect oneself during sexual activities to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies. Using condoms or other forms of contraception can greatly reduce the risk of transmission and unplanned pregnancy.

Additionally, it is important to communicate openly and honestly with sexual partners about sexual health and STI status, and to get tested regularly for STIs, especially if one is sexually active with multiple partners.

Ultimately, the decision to protect oneself during sexual activities is a personal one that depends on individual circumstances and preferences. However, it is generally recommended that individuals take steps to protect themselves and their sexual partners from potential health risks."

I especially liked the "multiple partners" part didnt you?

I believe this is a totally commendable position but I also believe that you're naive about this ruling. I think this is the power classes freaking out someone might be eating their lunch or discovering their dirty secrets.

For example, what if some italians uses chatgpt and leak things you dont wanna know about italy? That, I believe would prompt otherwise slow-to-act politicians to jump off their rocking-chairs and start making some phone calls.

Not about your neck.

Just a guess.

quadcore··on Italian privacy regulator bans ChatGPT
[chatgpt translation]

Stop ChatGPT until it complies with privacy regulations. The Guarantor for the protection of personal data has imposed, with immediate effect, the temporary limitation of data processing of Italian users by OpenAI, the US company that developed and manages the platform. The Authority has simultaneously opened an investigation.

ChatGPT, the most famous among relational artificial intelligence software capable of simulating and processing human conversations, suffered a data breach on March 20th, concerning user conversations and information relating to payment by subscription service subscribers.

In the provision, the privacy Guarantor notes the lack of information to users and all those concerned whose data is collected by OpenAI, but above all, the absence of a legal basis justifying the massive collection and retention of personal data, for the purpose of "training" the algorithms underlying the platform's operation.

As also demonstrated by the investigations carried out, the information provided by ChatGPT does not always correspond to the real data, thus determining an inaccurate treatment of personal data.

Finally, despite - according to the terms published by OpenAI - the service being aimed at those over 13 years old, the Authority highlights how the absence of any filter for verifying the age of users exposes minors to responses that are entirely unsuitable for their level of development and self-awareness.

OpenAI, which does not have a headquarters in the Union but has designated a representative in the European Economic Area, must communicate within 20 days the measures taken in implementation of what is required by the Guarantor, under penalty of a fine of up to 20 million euros or up to 4% of the annual global turnover

Amazing. I guess it could be improved but it's there and has seen quite some success in the past decade.

quadcore··on The age of average
Distinctiveness has died

Always was like that and I'll tell you why to the core.

We often speak about how our behaviours are shaped so we could initially survive the saber-toothed tiger - or wild animals. But it's a huge misconception when it comes to the human race. We, human, never feared much the saber-toothed tiger simply because our brain is especially good for planning. So we always planned and hunted the saber-tooth tiger. We dont really fear wild animals that much, there is no need for confirming that simple fact.

So the question is: what does human trully fear? What, would easily kill you? Like really really easily?

We fear being rejected by the group because nothing kills you faster than being rejected by the group. Once you're rejected by the group there is two outcome 1) you're dead already because the group proceeded to beat you to death or 2) you are banned - and now, not only will you face the saber-toothed tiger alone but you will meet other groups that will get socially stronger hunting you.

Get rejected by the group and just like that, you're chance of survival has drop to zero. Or close to it. In the snap of a finger.

And that's what shape our behaviours the most. People fear nothing - nothing - like being rejected. They will lie to not be. They will deny truth, they will mate with anything as long as it's socially strong.

It's not like "we are social", no, it's you die if the group doesnt accept you. Still true today.

quadcore··on BlenderGPT: Use commands in English to control Blender with OpenAI's GPT-4
Like Covid, it will change the world very fast. Talk to your representative about it.

As an example, I wont code at work anymore, I chatgpt all day. Just like that, overnight. And my productivity went 10x - though i was already 10x more productive than you.> What should have taken 1 week takes 1 day, sometimes less (it's new software im working on).

I would only code if I was doing great software, that is, for myself, we dont do that at work.

It's gonna build tension silently and then release: capital will be massively reallocated - that moment will be tsunami. Talk to your representative.

quadcore··on Ask HN: Who the heck isnt gonna be prompting any time soon?
Why are they gonna be devalued? I was thinking it'd be the opposite: piss them off and you're made. I assume prompting isnt gonna be critical for them to do their job meaning they are hard to replace. That's what come to mind at first.

Edit: if i understand correctly, engineers will build tech with their new computer: GPT.

quadcore··on I lost everything that made me love my job through Midjourney
Midjourney is an illegal product and it's easy to prove. Adobe did a way better job at this btw, protecting artists by simply making a legal product.

The way a good lawyer is gonna make a shitload of money is by asking one simple question: who's the artist?

Say you generate a picture with Midjourney, who's the artist? Not you, definitely not the AI as it's not a person, so the closest artists you can find is the ones who made the pictures in the training set. Done.

Hang tight buddy.
