The point is not about the money - the point is using data contributed by users without the proper license to create something that might yield revenue which will then not be shared or payed forward in any way to the contributors. We have all worked hard to create the data used by companies to sell ads to us and make massive amounts of money. I guess I got a couple gigs of free email? Cool... I also understand that m…

In Reddit's case, that's the deal. You get a website to share things on with other people, and the value exchange involves you giving full licence to Reddit and giving relicense rights to Reddit. Personally, I find that a very fair deal and clearly other people do as well. I think it actually yields positive externalities because we get things that wouldn't exist otherwise because the transaction costs outweigh the v…

How do you do? What brings you to see me? Doing well. My favorite food is cake. I just bought one because I got promoted at work! Is it because you got promoted at work that you came to me? Thanks so much, I just want to make my pa…

The example in the article had the same environmental engineer question, is it just memorizing responses and spitting them back?

But toxicity and quality is subjective. The technical achievement is undeniably brilliant, but the quality of the personality is subject to opinion - as I mentioned, I did not personally enjoy the agreeability of the bot. What's toxic today may not be toxic tomorrow and vice versa. It's just a matter of time before a model of this size can be run on commodity hardware and somebody will take the brakes off and/or atte…

For a more toxic version of a similar kind of bot, check out SubSimulatorGPT2: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/top/?sort=top&t=al... Unfortunately you can't talk to it. (I've wanted to retrain a version that you can interact with dynamically, someday.)
