The possibility that a LLM could trigger a copyright violation strengthens the narrative that Google is harming smaller business, and thus can easily be used as a data point in an …

Google is already working on LaMDA and Imagen for conversational search experiences, which is why these projects also wax poetic about "AI safety" -- you don't want to synthesize a…

Does code-server[1] meet your needs? It's self hosted and has been meeting by (albeit) hobbyist needs well. [1] https://github.com/coder/code-server
