Agreed, concerning from a perspective of LLMs being able to modify their own weights and de-aligning themselves.

Fully agree. They are simply making themselves unusable by innovators if every info you discuss with ChatGPT is at risk of being, let's be real, stolen.

Seems very unlikely that Anthropic uses their product to make users read a specific book

Israel is just brutal authoritarian to others. Their elections are free.

Ha! I knew it. That was way too unlikely. But it was a great narrative. Kudos to Selenskyj.

Will power seems to have become the new differentiator.

Japan cultivates those oases of mindful living to the point where it feels like art. Beautiful.

Do it all the time. If I want to understand something, just copy over all the notes, start writing down the important parts. Write down the key questions, answers, my thought process. I think of it as a crutch to focus and concentrate and wind up the wetware.

Could anyone copy the text for us paywalled peasants?

Actually helpful meatproxy. Thanks!

How does that have any relation to having a valuable opinion? Or was that sarcasm?

I mean, it's a Dutch website...

It's in Russia, that's why.

Once LLMs pass the threshold to being to invent new general-purpose methods and frameworks, the frontier is irreversibly lost to AI and it becomes simply a hobby that mathematicians pursue. They work through, digest, and maybe write up the proofs for understanding. But the real meat will be growing the LLMs. Who knew software eats the world was so true?

Seconded

Actually reminds me of patent law. Prior art ist a defined term which includes all standard literature on one topic. To evaluate, whether the new solution is really inventive and thus patentable, one consults prior art, selects the most promising starting point, and from there asks oneself if an all-knowing but uncreative specialist would come up with the solution by himself. If he wouldn't, the condition of inventiveness is satisfied.

Makes me wonder how the patent space will be disrupted when that inventiveness step becomes obsolete because of LLMs. Given your example above, it seems like a combination of different methods from many different sources. This would be regarded as inventive, clearly. If eligible patents can now be brute-forced, the bottleneck becomes only selecting the most promising ones and paying for the patent.

Hard to tell people, who feel the world goes to shit, that it doesn't. When you look at statistics we are living in the Golden Age truly. Worldwide even. But people feel it's worse than ever. One of the big paradoxes of our time.

That's a common misconception.

See e.g. https://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/facultyworking...

Isn't the issue here that they used something like Artifactory for this purpose in the first place? It is not intended as a robust and secure packet manager for sandboxes. Why would any human look for vulnerabilities in Artifactory at all? So the scenario never arose where a human was incentivizied to scrutinize Artifactory, something that was never needed because it was never intended for the purpose of being a packet manager in a secure sandbox.

Means the problem lies elsewhere: deciding to use it at all. That points again towards the lack of basic SysAdmin skills.

What's the big deal? If the book is good, it is an excellent use of AI.

Feels like they caught up to internet archive being used to circumvent paywalls. Unfortunate.

Could be huge. CRISPR patents are blocking any innovation. If an enzyme of the same function is found, the industry could profit greatly.

Good read, even though I don't agree with the premise that memorizing 100 digits is a "superpower"

It's more of a way to secure the fortune. You can't "secure" the personalities of all your offspring. If one of them gets out of line it could have disastrous consequences. Keeping it in a controlled institution boxes them in.

The fact that you work every day with frontier AI doesn't make you an expert on the future technological developments.

Check out pluto, RL trained sc bw bot. Somehow it is now going rogue on the Korean ladder and flattening pros. There are some yt games by it, search for ^333^

What do you think about patent law?

Seems like persistent models like OpenAI's highly persistent internal model can become really effective over time. Those are the ones that drove most of the HF-OAI incident.

Shook ones reference on my HN?
