Yesterday, popular authors including John Grisham, Jonathan Franzen, George R.R. Martin, Jodi Picoult, and George Saunders joined the Authors Guild in suing OpenAI, alleging that training the company’s large language models (LLMs) used to power AI tools like ChatGPT on pirated versions of their books violates copyright laws...
This is such a weird take imo. We’ve been calling agent behavior in video games AI since forever but suddenly everyone has an issue when it’s applied to LLMs.
No kidding. Back in college I was kicking around the idea with my friends of dumping a few student loans for semester into bitcoin to buy quality mdma. It was like $0.50 a coin at the time.
I rest easy knowing that I would have sold it for beer money well before the price went absolutely nuts. I was never going to make real profit off of it
I also find it quite unpleasant that the elected representatives, in all this time, did not try to replace it with grassroot level measure such as food security, free tuition, books etc. higher school and teacher density in lower income or low performing areas.
So you support leftist ambitions, but because of some nonsense on Twitter you feel obligated to give credence to actual, flag-waving, “we’re coming to take your kids and throw you in prison,” nazis?
Maybe. But if I was thinking about buying into their ipo I might be pretty skeptical of a social media site that’s actively antagonizing their users while it can barely turn a profit when 90% of their labor force are unpaid volunteers.
Engagement can be fleeting and I’m not sure their archive content is as valuable to LLMs as they think it is.
