You mean like the insanely annoying AIs that replaced Google search? The idiotic one that files Javascript books under "Law" in Amazon or the insulting one who runs Ad Sense and thinks my wife isn't good enough and I am stupid enough to leave her for some mail order bride?
Javascript books under "Law" is hilarious

Apples and oranges: Stack overflow snippets are explicitly granted under a permissive license, as long as you attribute. https://stackoverflow.com/help/licensing It appears that the code that copilot is using is created under a huge variety of licenses, making it risky. On the other hand, a small snippet in a function that is derived from many existing pieces of other code may fall under fair use, even if it is not u…
It just seems bizarre that this wasn’t flagged internally at Microsoft. They have tons of compliance staff.

That's because Microaoft doesn't dare use this for production code (presumably). They are 100% okay with letting their competitors get into legal hot water.

Pretty sure they were being sarcastic. I also don't find your arguments persuasive in the slightest, and I find myself being skeptical of these recent moral outcries. I'm skeptical of its sincerity, and I don't buy it. "Master" has an etmylogical background far more diverse than the dichotomy to "slave". I can wholeheartedly say that I've not once thought to make that association. It's been a title for centuries. Mas…
Check out the recent Marc Rebillet stream with Flying Lotus and Reggie Watts. They absolutely destroy the bs around the use of the word master. I think both FL and RW will be quite representative of how African Americans (and the rest of the world) feel about this.
From the Copilot FAQ: > The technical preview includes filters to block offensive words And somehow their filters missed f*k? That doesn’t give a lot of confidence in their ability filter more nuanced text. Or maybe it only filters truly terrible offensive words like “master”.
In my testing of Copilot, the content filters only work on input , not output. Attempting to generate text from code containing "genocide" just has Copilot refuse to run. But you can still coerce Copilot to return offensive output given certain innocuous prompts.
A similar thing is happening in AI Dungeon, where certain words and phrases are banned to the point of suspending a users account if used a certain amount of times, yet they will happily output them when it is generated by GPT3 itself, and then punish the user if they fail to remove the offending pieces of text before continuing.

Do you also block stack overflow and give guidance to never copy code from that website or elsewhere on the Internet? I'm legitimately curious - my org internally officially denounces the copying of stack overflow snippets. Thankfully for my role it's moot as I mostly work with an internal non-public language, for better or worse, and I have no idea how well that's followed elsewhere in the wider company.
Who really copies stack overflow snippets verbatim? It's usually just easier to refer to it for help figuring out the right structure and then adapt it for your own needs. Usually it needs customization for your own application anyway (variables, class instances, etc).

"Shouldn't" isn't the same as "doesn't". I'm not anything close to an ML expert, and I have no opinion on whether what they're aiming for is possible, but this document^[1] (linked in your linked comment) states explicitly that they are aware of the recitation issue and are taking steps to mitigate it. So, in the context of the comment I replied to, I think Github is very far from claiming that recitation is "simply…
That kind of bullshit phrasing can only get you so far. It's like if some corporate PR department told you "we're aware of the halting problem, and are taking steps to mitigate it." You would rightly laugh them out of the room. It's not going to work, and the people making these statements either don't understand how much they don't understand, or are deluding themselves, or are actively lying to us. An honest answer…
Again, I'm not an ML expert, but that sounds a lot more reasonable to me than announcing one's intention to solve the halting problem.

If you find yourself copying code someone else in your organization wrote rather than abstracting it to a function in a shared library or building a more declarative framework to manage the problem, something horrible has happened.
Sometimes boilerplate is unavoidable. As an example, how do you send a GET request with libcurl in C with an authorization header? I can't tell you offhand, but I can tell you the file in my codebase that does have it, because I've duplicated the logic for two separate systems.

I'm out of the loop.

Excel rounds doubles to 15 digits for display and comparison. The exact precision of doubles is something like 15.6 digits, those remaining 0.6 digits causing some of those examples floating (heh) around.
That depends https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/float-precision...
In practice a double is 15.6 digits precise, which Excel rounds to 15 to eliminate some weirdness.
In their documentation they do cite their number type as 15 digit precision type. Ergo that's the semantic they've settled on.
