ffs it's in public domain just use a still from the staircase silhouette like everyone else
It's open source trust me I wrote that ELF file directly with C-x M-c M-butterfly.
Here ya go boss, a 80% prototype solution.
/* TODO: support other element types */ unsigned int * maxsumsubarr(unsigned int arr[], size_t len, size_t * sublen) { *sublen = len; return arr; }
God knows I like a good DSL, but "complexity over drudgery" just sounds miserable. I also wonder what kind of stuff they're coding that's supposedly trivial enough to be generated by AI.
Fair enough. Sorry for being rude about it.
Yes, that just reiterates my point, doesn't it?
OpenAI considered building everything in-house and raising capital for an expensive plan to build a network of factories known as "foundries" for chip manufacturing.
Oh man, that's a delicious understatement. If the allegations are true, this was a plan that would make the military-industrial complex envious.
I somewhat assumed so based on the usual corporate ghoul definition of "successful". That's why I included currency as something without which artists have managed to make a living since its invention. That particular example may be arguable, but being a successful artist is not and will not be predicated entirely on how fast one can crank out "content". How many movies do the wealthiest directors put out per year?

Gonna change my name to Goldman Sachs and style myself as my own founder.
not going to be successful in this new world without using it
The hubris is almost impressive in itself. There's not a single technology in human history that has managed to kill every art form not using it. Digital art didn't do it, photography, pencil, movable type printing, nib pens, oil paints, scraffito, probably not even the invention of currency did it. He thinks autoplag of all things will?
I'm glad to hear someone's invested enough to fork it. I like D (hehe) and it would be a shame for it to just languish in Bright daylight.
…and other examples of why there are no alternatives to US hegemony!
Adding an m before the b
Walter Bright soon reading his second ever newspaper: "Wow, this is a lot like Washington Post!"
Your success as a greenhorn Silicon Valley intellectual will rest on your ability to shoehorn Girard’s name and the “mimetic theory” with which he’s associated into as many blog posts, podcast interviews, and tweets as possible.
Instructions unclear, accidentally started reading Gerard instead.
Why would I even want to learn anything from the French? As the article points out, they can't even outcompete China, a place well known for its free speech and low taxation. French language doesn't even have a word for entrepreneur.
I wonder if the OpenAI habit of naming their models after the previous ones' embarrassing failures is meant as an SEO trick. Google "chatgpt strawberry" and the top result is about o1. It may mention the origin of the codename, but ultimately you're still streered to marketing material.
Either way, I'm looking forward to their upcoming AI models Malpractice, Forgery, KiddieSmut, ClassAction, SecuritiesFraud and Lemonparty.
They have successfully convinced me they are HIPPA compliant, yet simultaneously they've convinced me they are not HIPAA compliant.
The stretching is just so blatant. People who train neural networks do not write a bunch of tokens and weights. They take a corpus of training data and run a training program to generate the weights. That's why it is the training program and the corpus that should be considered the source form of the program. If either of these can't be made available in a way that allows redistribution of verbatim and modified versions, it can't be open source. Even if I have a powerful server farm and a list of data sources for Llama 3, I can't replicate the model myself without committing copyright infringement (neither could Facebook for that matter, and that's not an entirely separate issue).
There are large collections of freely licensed and public domain media that could theoretically be used to train a model, but that model surely wouldn't be as big as the proprietary ones. In some sense truly open source AI does exist and has for a long time, but that's not the exciting thing OSI is lusting after, is it?
I get the gist, but also it's kinda hard to come up with a better alternative. A simple "being wrong" doesn't exactly communicate it either. I don't think "hallucination" is a perfect word for the phenomenon of "a statistically probable sequence of language tokens forming a factually incorrect claim" by any means, but in terms of the available options I find it pretty good.
I don't think the issue here is the word, it's just that a lot of people think the machines are smart when they're not. Not anthropomorphizing the machines is a battle that was lost no later than the time computer data representation devices were named "memory", so I don't think that's really the issue here either.
As a side note, I've seen cases of people (admittedly, mostly critics of AI in the first place) call anything produced by an LLM a hallucination regardless of truthfulness.
