    It's a little different, instead of maximizing gas/price they're maximizing community rating subject to 10$ limit. I have often wanted to query google reviews in this way. I think …

    "I don't know any other way at this point. Showing a novice a 2D elevation" I think 2D prints aren't the baseline, and since at least the late 2000s even run of the mill architectu…

    I agree but prosecutions are up to prosecutors/the executive and the problem is at this level the decision is mostly political. The executive gets leverage over openAI, and openAI …

    "That would have been (highly likely) true by construction" You're assuming people knew what evidence to question. That is having the kik app on his device isn't evidence against t…

    "the only possible evidence they had was the wrong username." Out of curiosity and definitely not defending this prosecution, but if the chain "unique Kik username -> unique gmail …

    "Even if OpenAI is being 100% honest in their reporting on this it's still good marketing for them. " So what? Under your scenario the frightening power of this model is still ther…

    Well the Enron dump was in the early 2000s, a lot of that stuff (irrelevant to the litigation) would get sealed these days. There were things like social security #s and bank accou…

    It would be interesting to see how that .4% varies across fields on arXiv. I imagine some areas influenced LLM writing much more than others and are more susceptible to false posit…

    Nice try, that's not the same as not doing business in the state. Most businesses are incorporated in Delaware, they get sued in every state of the union.
