if aaron had attempted to release the jstor database he would have succeeded
Didn't he get caught before he fully downloaded everything? My understanding was that's what he was doing with that laptop stuffed in a supply closet on the MIT campus.
but certainly he was capable of ensuring that everything he downloaded would be released if that was what he wanted

That just shows their bias. If the code is complete, it's only a matter of time to figure out how to build it. May not take hours, but determined engineer should be able to figure it out.
I think you're being naive. Microsoft has spent 1000s of engineering years on their build system. You aren't going to just replicate that in a week.
It’s interesting that these models are both massively expensive to produce and self-contained to a degree that you can distribute the end product in a torrent. This has not been the case for most commercial software for the past 20 years, during the cloud era. If you could steal a dump of random Facebook source code, it would be 99% useless because it’s so closely tied to the infrastructure. There’s almost nothing yo…
Is the current model capable of updating itself? Or will the user be fed answers from a static model that never learns anything new?

> b) Some business will eventually sell an off-the-shelf product And by sell you mean a monthly subscription, ha ha.
Or with ads? The AI can suggest some brand of clothes or whatever. It can basically shape your habits. Scary stuff...
It seems that the leak originated from 4chan [1]. Two people in the same thread had access to the weights and verified that their hashes match [2][3] to make sure that the model isn't watermarked. However, the leaker made a mistake of adding the original download script which had his unique download URL to the torrent [4], so Meta can easily find them if they want to.

Why do 4chan users go out of their way to be so offensive in their posts?

I posit to a friend that: a) As these AI constructs become more advanced (especially around memory and personalization), we will eventually be able to treat them as people b) Some business will eventually sell an off-the-shelf product (hardware and/or software) that is an AI you can bring into your home, that you can treat as a friend, confidant and partner c) Someone will eventually lose their AI friend of many mont…
At the end of the day, the Turing Test for establishment of AI personhood is weak for two reasons. 1. We're seeing more and more systems that get very close to passing the Turing Test but fundamentally don't register to people as "People." When I was younger and learned of Searle's Chinese Room argument, I naively assumed it wasn't a thought experiment we would literally build in my lifetime. 2. Humanity has a histor…
I'm only today learning about intentionality, but the premise here seems to be that our current AI systems see a cat with their camera eyeballs and don't have the human-level experience of mentally opening a wikipedia article in our brain titled "Cat" that includes a split-second consideration of all our memories, thoughts, and reactions to the concept of a cat.
Even if our current AI models don't do this on a human level, I think we see it at some level in some AIs just because of the nature of a neural net. Maybe a neural net would have to be forced/rewarded to do this at a human level if it didn't happen naturally through training, but I think it's plenty possible and even likely that this would happen in our lifetimes.
Anyway, this also leads to the question of whether it matters for an intelligence to be intentional (think of things as a concept) if it can accomplish what it/we want without it.

Or a copy of Windows or Office source code.
I don't think that's right - even if you had the full source code for either of those, it's extremely unlikely you'd be able to build them on your own machine.
