    This is cool and fixes a very big need I have. I often use Comfy as a shortcut to generating content in a larger pipeline and the JSONified API is OK, but not the easiest to use. N…

    What information would you be interested in? I wouldn't know what people are looking for to add to the site and would love any advice on that front.

    We don't train any models, we're just bringing existing AI models to the VFX workflow. The choice of models and technologies is up to the individual artists .

    You can still try it with Llama, and no it wasn't the full text of the page, or even very accurate. Even the "popular" quotes were VERY likely to be paraphrased and missing any poe…

    "Cliff Note" style content sometimes outsells the content they're summarizing. LLMs aren't a new problem, the internet did that already. In fact, they're really LESS likely to prov…

    Exactly. Everyone except for the companies with the resources to move their training to Japan loses if the authors win.

    In fact, it's the same legal team basically making the same argument again. They're just repeating the same play hoping to get more chances at the huge nest-egg that OpenAI has.

    You know what else stores nearly verbatim copies of texts and then regurgitates those to the public often including direct quotes from the text? Cliff Notes. Those aren't copyright…

    This same subject was covered by the Guardian https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37585157 . I'll repeat my comment from there, These lawsuits seem to be missing the point. Copyri…

    UX is always a major question with Open Source. Strangely, according to the examples posted, FOSS seems to be the ones working hardest on making UX better, but always seems to fall…

    Llama is a very cool language model, it being used for coding was all but inevitable. I especially love it being released open for everyone. I do wonder about how much use it'll ge…

    I came here thinking they were removing the PGP package from PyPi, but they're just removing a barely-used signature system? I don't know why they have to remove it though. I doubt…

    Actually that's one of the arguments of the article. Seems reasonable that increasing awareness of Deepfakes in general will reduce the dangers.
