@carnage4life Until someone gets a Volkswagon's AI to insult the CEO on a TikTok and then they have to rush to scrap the program.
Siri, Cortana, & Alexa were much more reliable for brands. It blows me away that so many are so eager to make the jump.
@carnage4life Ever since their IPO, they seem to be trying to fail.

“The clearest example of plagiarism: uncredited ghostwriters, but we all accept that for some reason.” @Atrios https://www.eschatonblog.com/2024/01/plagiarism-feeding-frenzy.html
This is a very good response by OpenAI to the NYT lawsuit.

“men are hitting on my scheduling bot because it has a woman’s name — Ask a Manager”
"I will personally pay you thousands of dollars if changing the bot’s name to Wayne doesn’t put an immediate end to this." https://www.askamanager.org/2024/01/men-are-hitting-on-my-scheduling-bot-because-it-has-a-womans-name.html
@D_J_Nathanson If you need help terrifying lawyerly-types into not doing it, feel free to reach out.
@D_J_Nathanson I work with AI in a professional capacity almost every day, and have trained multiple models and built multiple systems off it.
I will never hire a lawyer who uses it to write legal documents, and the fact that courts are considering doing so is terrifying.
AI is designed to sound right, which is fine for natural language, but is completely unacceptable for binding legal documents that affect people's lives.
@freemo Don't forget the shitposter quotient.
@annmlipton @BritishTechGuru And it requires you to anticipate the actions of lawmakers who are currently busy with (checks notes) arguing with a mouse and taking books from children.
@BritishTechGuru @annmlipton Sure, but then after you read it, you're faced with the choice of moving out of state, never owning property, or signing a bad contract.

Some people have seemed confused about what my Low Quality Facts account is, so I made this graph to help you all understand it.

The downside to using mirrors in telescopes is that we'll never see the space vampires coming.
@nicholas_saunders @ArenaCops It has nothing to do with the first amendment. As a private actor, Harvard is not bound by the restrictions of 1A.
The very quote that you've repeated is a great example of the issue these university presidents were responding to. It leaves out crucial context to push a narrative. If you watch the hearing, you'll hear how the question wasn't posed as described, and was, in fact, a trap question laid by a culture warrior relying on a false premise to try to elicit a sound bite response. In-context, their answers are absolutely correct. Because, as they said on the stand, context matters.
@ArenaCops @nicholas_saunders Wrong.
If people are saying "let's commit a genocide" then sure, but the real world isn't always that cut and dry. Speech is subjective and two people can disagree about whether passionate speech even *is* a call for genocide or not. The context matters, which is why subjective phrases like "nazis don't deserve to live" or "from the river to the sea" shouldn't be punished as such, even if the targets of the speech claim it to be genocidal.

If the Libertarian Party is going to be working in an official capacity to try to get Trump on the ballot in Colorado (which seems to be the case based on what I can deduce of Angela’s position on this), that is… a choice
@undefined @trinsec So then maybe it's just because my cat is more of a surly roommate than a baby, lol.
@trinsec Never understood that. I'll avoid waking up my cat the day he starts trying to avoid waking me up.
@carnage4life @nytimes Or like neither, since you never needed permission or special licensing to read people's works before.

“Needless to say this is not what happened. Rather than repudiate the attempted coup – which seemed barely possible until some point on January 8th – the party embraced it, validated it, pursued a consistent policy of protecting the reputation and freedom of those who carried it out. It is true enough that a bare majority of elected Republicans won’t explicitly excuse the behavior of the individual insurrectionists who committed discrete crimes of assault, vandalism and trespass on January 6th. But shock troops are always expendable. The coup attempt itself – the criminal effort to remain in power after clearly losing a free and fair election – the institutional Republican party has defended on every front. The vanishingly small number of elected Republicans who denounced this crime are easily identified by the fact that they have all been driven out of the party. ”
