Just to point out the obvious, but I think it gets lost in the weeds sometimes:

When you say "Maybe we will someday have an AI publisher", that is still a person or company with a computer running a program.

So it will still be researchers researching, but the tools they use will help create and value the negative more than those results were valued historically.

My opinion is that this distinction needs to be made clear from time-to-time, so people learning will understand that AI isn't a mythological creature we're attempting to tame. It's a new "programming" paradigm that we are trying to understand and utilize to improve our workloads/workflow.

 

I see a lot -- by no means an overabundance, but enough to "trigger" me -- of laughing at some of the "obvious" research that gets posted here.

One example from a week or two ago that's been rattling around in my head was someone saying in reply to the paper (paraphrased):

That's just RAG with extra steps.

Exactly. But what were those steps attempting? Did it make RAG better?

Yes. Great, let's continue pulling the thread.

No. Ok, let's let others know that pulling this thread in this direction has been tried, and they should take a different approach; maybe it can be pulled in a different direction.

We are at the cusp of a shift in our cultural and technical cultures. Let's not shame the people sharing their work with the community.

"When I make a query of Llama, I'm not asking for a copy of Sarah Silverman's book – I'm not even asking for an excerpt," Chhabria said.

The authors also argued that Llama itself is an infringing work. Chhabria said the theory "would have to mean that if you put the Llama language model next to Sarah Silverman's book, you would say they're similar."

"That makes my head explode when I try to understand that," Chhabria said.

Well said judge, well said.

His proposed solution is ineffective and will cause greater issues.

Not good enough. Not my job. It’s advertised as an ad blocking browser.

Chrome, Firefox, safari, Edge. None require disabling ads from the devs.

Brave is just a big fucking ad at this point.

Not to mention their not-so-subtle push to get people into crypto by asking them to create a wallet as the first thing you see when opening the app.

I came across the blog post for Leo and immediately downloaded it. My recommendation, don't.
