    Which engineering discipline touches most of these?

    It's a globalization problem that countries have a hard time creating policy against. Countries don't have the enforcement power that they used to. The best we have come up with is…

    People support things that sound like a good idea to them, or that have been sold as a good idea to them, especially if they think it won't negatively affect them. It's easy to be …

    Don't you need to look at the code you want to change in order to direct the AI in what you want to do, or are you simply telling it to make a feature and then looking at the chang…

    I think of LinkedIn like walking into a Tony Robbins event. At least, what I imagine they are like from those old infomercials.

    A sad state of affairs when the law is what people look to in order to decide between right and wrong.

    If I'm not mistaken, isn't this the same person behind Lambda School? I saw the same ad like a year or two ago.

    Hobbling the model may be smart tactically for them, but feels like it sets a really dangerous precedent.

    I suppose if Spaghetti Inc and Olive Garden were in the business of creating and licensing recipes, they would both be in trouble. But they are selling labor and ingredients, which…

    An AI training is not equivalent to a human learning, despite how we like to anthropomorphize the process, and ideas are not protected by copyright in the first place. Your point w…

    You say means of production is an antiquated idea, but the world you are using as an example of the idea being unnecessary is a world where copyright exists. The world would look v…

    What about something like carbon credits? Every citizen gets awarded a yearly AI usage credit. If a company wants to use an LLM, they have to buy the usage from the public market. …

    It's entitled for others to believe they have any say in what happens with the work of others. The world without these protections would be worse off by far. What I gather from wha…

    I wonder if this could be explained in a similar way to Hollywood movies. If the movies are designed to please the largest group of people, there is a greater chance people will ch…

    You may not need to have a job to be happy, it varies person to person. However, the idea that the billionaires will save us and our leverage is not needed is ridiculous. It is muc…

    I think a lot of this would be solved if the government would actually enforce anti monopoly laws. The penalties against Google were such a damn joke it makes me sick. Companies ar…

    You are ignoring the part where human labor is the leverage required for democracy to work.

    I am not talking about how much data is required to make intelligence. I am talking about how it uses the data it already has. It can tell you about every scam in the book, researc…

    With the amount of data these models have, they should be much more capable if there was an actual intelligence behind it. If you saw someone running into a wall continuously until…

    I don't know how people can read stuff like this and think LLMs are intelligent or conscious.

    Gave me wrong information on my very first question. Wasn’t even complicated, and I wasn’t trying to trick it.
