Earlier quoted context omitted.

Risky due to steganography; the leaker might be compromised.

Blur, summarize, anonymize, convert to bitmap/PNG, release. edit: i am aware it is literally impossible to release information without the remote chance of whistle-sniping. the then only logical conclusion reached from such a defeatist extreme attitude threat model is to then assume that all stories and information are false flags distributed to find moles. the decks themselves are surely water-marked in ways clevere…

> Blur, summarize, anonymize, convert to bitmap/PNG

The article is a summary. Everything else is defeated by moving subtle decorative elements around the page between copies.

Is there any recent research on training LLMs that can trace the contribution of sources of training data to any given generated token? Meta-nodes that look at how much a certain training document, or set thereof, caused a node to be updated? I fear that OpenAI is incentivized, financially and legally, not to delve too deeply into this kind of research. But IMO attribution, even if imperfect, is a key part of alignin…

Bloomberg's upcoming LLM model will reference back to the source financial statements when calculating financial metrics for you.

A llm is biased by design, the "open models" are no different here. OpenAI will, like any other model designer, pick and chose whatever data they want in their model and strike deals to that end.

The only question is in how far this is can be viewed as ads. Here I would find a strong backslash slightly ironic, since a lot of people have called the non-consensual incorporation of openly available data problematic; this is an obvious alternative option, that lures with the added benefit of deep integration over simply paying. A "true partnership", at face value. Smart.

If however this actually qualifies as ads (as in: unfair prioritisation that has nothing to do with the quality of the data and simply people paying money for priority placement) there is transparency laws in most jurisdictions for that already and I don't see why OpenAI would not honor them, like any other corp does.

So soon enough we'll get stuff like:

> Me: Give me a small sample code in Ruby that takes two parameters and returns the Levenshtein distance between them.

> ChatGPT: DID YOU HEAR ABOUT C#? It's even faster that light, now with better performance than Ruby!!! Get started here: https://ms.com/cs

I can generate the code in Ruby or I can give you 20% discount on Microsoft publishing on any C# book!!!

So wait, there will be ads in your ChatGPT conversation, you just won't know they are ads?

I don't think there was much reason to believe the endgame was ever going to be anything but this.

I mean for a split second I thought "Wow, they were charging for their service, this is nice". I guess that isn't enough anymore. You pay them and then they also get paid by selling you. What a world we live in.

> "its purpose is to help ChatGPT users more easily discover and engage with publishers’ brands and content."

What end user actually wants this? I've never in my life woke up and said, "You know what, I'd love to 'engage' with a corporate brand today!" or "I would love help to easily discover Burger King's content, that would be great!" The euphemisms they use for 'spam' are just breathtaking.

and then they use the output of chatGPT to train their open models
