Note that this is about absolute pollution, not relative to power output. Pollution is high, because power output is high. Relatively, for what it's worth, it's just a fairly norma…

The difference being, that this time it's (at this point: obviously, but previously much debated) a gapfill. I think it worked out quite well for us, to add some friction and extra…

I understand the point (I don't agree with it; tool calling has gotten much better/reliable and that is very important for customer support) but consider: If you can get same for a…

Why?

> Regulation doesn't hinder innovation Regulation can and often most certainly does hinder innovation -- but we might want that, because we get other things we value in return. Reg…

GDPR (and ePrivacy before that) requires valid prior consent where optional tracking is used. A site using only technically necessary storage can simply have no consent banner. A b…

When are you or anyone more likely to get access to a rare book: a) When a company has made a digitized copy of it b) When a few previous hard copies are kept somewhere in the worl…

Forever preserving the content of a rare book by consuming one (1) copy is the kind of thing we should always be doing more of. Roughly nobody would have had access to that copy. R…

Making bad mistakes is childish? Or correcting them?

Idk, complain on the merits probably. If anyone can offer better fireproofing or flamethrowers, I am happy to take that solution, but until they do, I am not sure what we are talki…

Not really. Most things take more time to transform than people think, even if capabilities exist. Which is not to say that they do exist, but rather, independent of whether they e…

That is probably not going to be the important difference. You can't use it for theoretical physics because you have no meaningful question and there is no result that you can do a…

Interesting how that once again matches human intuition: It's easier to know what you don't know, than to know what is true.

I think at some point the issues around copyrighted work and model distillation have to be disconnected to advance either idea. 1) Compensation of right holders is one issue. 2) Di…

Vague or broad complaints on empirical topics is hard to address. Everything can just fill in their own ideas of what is going on or who they mean. I think the direction has been p…

It's interesting that building models goes one of two ways: Either you do it on your own (with data from debatable sources, maybe) or you do it by using a model that did it with da…
