All you have to do is present credible evidence that these companies are distributing copyrighted works or a direct substitute for those copyrighted works. They have filters to specifically exclude matches though, so it doesn’t really happen.
It’s like stealing from shops except the shops didn’t lose anything. You’re up a stolen widget, but they have just as many as before.
Detecting a hallucination programmatically is the hard part. What is truth? Given an arbitrary sentence, how does one accurately measure the truthfulness of it? What about the edge cases, like a statement that is itself true but misrepresents something? Or what if a statement is correct in a specific context, but generally incorrect?
I’m an AI optimist but I don’t see hallucinations being solved completely as long as LLMs are statistical models of languages, but we’ll probably have a set of heuristics and techniques that can catch 90% of them.
Maybe the search engines should start crawling and indexing discord
That’s about one egg per second
What exactly are the hazards of shared memory and locks? The ownership system and the borrow checker do a pretty good job at enforcing correct usage, and if you are clever you can even guarantee no deadlocks (talk at rustconf 2024 about the fuchsia network stack).
The internet was developed by ARPA, then later made available to universities and eventually private connections. Military and public research developed the tech, capitalists figured out how to most efficiently sell junk using the tech.
Actually I think this is a pretty common thing. I know several people who use iPhones and other Apple products specifically to avoid the google alternatives.
I use the assistant, because it has so many models to choose from. I hope they can make a mobile app for it in the future
Organizations aren’t just paying for access to applications, they’re also paying for cloud storage, email hosting, calendar tools, training, and all of the infrastructure to support that. Typically when you price out the cost of expanding the in-house IT department and the cost of acquiring and maintaining the infrastructure required to replicate the various cloud services, it ends up being break even at best. Qualified people who can set up and maintain infrastructure are quite expensive, especially when having to maintain high uptime/availability, 24/7 incident response, and compliance with various regulations, like those to protect students’ privacy.
I’ve found Kagi has been good enough to justify the subscription price. I like that I can block certain sites, pin and promote others. It has some neat AI features but they only activate when requested and never replace actual results.
Consumer side perhaps there is little desired innovation from MS, but most of their sales are enterprise and cloud, the last of which is a rapidly evolving market where talent can be put to good use.
Why was Web 2.0 a mistake and what does that have to do with centralization?
Maybe that’s what you believe, but allowing commercial use has been a core tenant of free and open source software
This is one of the funnier things I see frequently on here. People both champion free and open source code and data that can be used for anything… until it is used for anything they even mildly dislike.
As someone who works with and knows several military contractors, I’ve never heard of the US taking ownership of any code written. In fact, most of what they’re paying for is for companies to extend software they’ve already written to better fit the governments use case, such that even if the government owned the new improvements, that code wouldn’t function without the base application that pre-dates a government contract.
Hell yeah, glad to see this act of resistance is working.
It’ll be interesting to see if the US does anything besides throw a tantrum. Just over a decade ago, selling oil in non-US dollars was enough to be declared a brutal dictatorship and be bombed to rubble by NATO.
They would dominate because they make a good product that isn’t more expensive than it has to be. US car companies have discontinued most affordable options to try and force people to only buy larger, higher end vehicles that most people have no use for. Now they’re mad that international companies are willing to sell the products they refuse to.
