I don’t think she was lying. She created a cartoon and published it irresponsibly. In my opinion, that makes it her fault. And I think that AI is not going to be found culpable for issues like this in the future. The user needs to understand they can’t just publish whatever it creates. There are open source AI models that would have near zero culpability and in that case I believe very, very clearly it will be the users responsibility. And I think that will extend to paid models as well.

As I said, I am talking about the publishing, not the training. If it produces his signature, which basically claims he created the art, then that is the line he believes was crossed. I am saying that it is up to the user to understand when those lines are crossed. The user could have done this in photoshop as well without ai, would we blame photoshop? Training is a separate argument, it is not what the article tackles.

Why would ChatGPT be sued exactly? They didn’t publish the picture, they did what the user asked. The user is responsible because they directed the creation and publishing. The user is the entity who should be sued. Or dmca’d. Or whatever.

Think if the user commissioned the art from an outsourced creative shop nobody has heard of. Then they published it. They wouldn’t go after the creative shop, they would go after the publisher.

(I am just addressing publishing here, training on the artist’s works is a different, well discussed issue)

I thought you could put in natural language and generate a font. But you can’t. So I made one where you can: https://fonts.buttface.rocks/

I eagerly await your update with the benchmarks on this :)

If it's (nearly) all streamed from disk can you use an intel/amd machine and a big fat gpu and use the SSDs (nvme for faster throughput) as your virtual vram? Or something like that?

Meh. Chess exists to entertain the players. Coding exists to solve problems. I see way too often the programmers think it’s all about the coder and the code. Solve the problem. Don’t write code at all to do that if you can (AI generated or otherwise).

Is that the service that everyone turns off as the first step of setting up their new Linux box?

Controlling which tools it has access to is called sandboxing.

Oh my god for the love of all is holy why can’t I remove Apple Music.

It’s just a SaaS service like any other. They all want to use your data, but there are terms to make sure they don’t.

Maybe a hybrid approach. Scramble to create a final exam/project and give them the option to do pass/fail or a real grade, their choice.

And then wish for the death of saas and a day where you can deploy your own software you can control and modify as you need.

No, users should demand it.

For open source you get what you get and you don’t get upset. Has anyone ever sued an open source project?

Now what we need is a chat interface to develop these config files.

DMCA?

The future is that people stop buying software and just build it themselves. The spam filter in thunderbird was broken for me, I built my own in hours and it works way better. Oh that CRM doesn’t have the features you want? Build one that does. It will become very easy to built and deploy solutions to many of your own bespoke problems.

I don’t like the comparison between humans and humans. Humans don’t travel around at 100mph in packs of other humans. Why not use every sensor type at our disposal if it gives us more info to make decisions? Yes I understand it’s more complicated, but we figure stuff out.

We need to update robots.txt for the LLM world, help them find things more efficiently (or not at all I guess). Provide specs for actions that can be taken. Etc.

You are assuming they will commit to the solution and ride it to their grave trying to make it work. They will experiment and figure out a way to make it cheaper, or they will give up. They have plenty of money to experiment with this.

You can debate this until you are blue in the face. If the costs are less they will do it. If they aren’t they won’t do it. That’s the only sense that needs to be made.

So is your solution that Europe only creates small companies?

“Even if you can disable individual AI features, the cognitive load of monitoring an opaque system that’s supposedly working on your behalf would be overwhelming.”

99.9% of people haven’t ever had one single thought about how their software works. I don’t think they will be overwhelmed with cognitive load. Quite the opposite.

Because it’s better.

Elastic and many others fail to solve this problem too. There are many different strategies and many of them require ingenuity and development.

Any numbers on how much energy isn’t sensitive to time? Is it reasonable to say that people can just use energy more when it’s windy to save money? Perhaps if could incentivize people to have large local batteries to eat it up during these times and use it during more costly times? But that seems very expensive.

There are businesses that attract people that use cards fraudulently and the business gets flagged demand eventually dropped. Gas stations in less desirable neighborhoods in the US have this issue and some only take cash.

How is the pig doing?

I don’t think it’s some master scheme. They are trying to make money more than anything else. So they distort the truth to what sells the most. That just happens to be one of two major ideologies that hate each other. The effect is the same, but the motivations, and thus how you counteract, are different.

Seems like it would be easy for phone companies to locate SIM farms, no? They can triangulate based on the zillion texts coming from one location?

Are we saying software engineers making $125-150k are middle class? If so, then yes this I absolutely believe this is true. These will still be high level people for the most part that will up our game in my opinion. Thats in the opinion column, hard to prove. But this fee may have a net negative impact on jobs for Americans as it will push more companies to simply outsource to these countries rather than pay more in the US. So you need to tax that too. And then they will find some way around that and we will need to tax that new thing. I don’t like this game, it is trying to stop progress in my opinion. But I guess it is a balancing act and who knows where you set the line. Adding friction to it will definitely make it so only higher quality talent migrates here, that much seems clear.
