They are selling a product created from mass violation of IP. This isn't some kid downloading a pirated song for personal use.

Because they declare that their product is unsafe regularly, which gains massive exposure on every news outlet worldwide, then they release the model anyway with zero negative repercussions.

What's with so many people using bad analogies to try and explain simple topics?

Last time this happened: GPT - 4 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/17/openai-sa...

Some of it might be loss of external validation, no more stars in github. Some of it might be an aversion to a non-consensual contribution to the end of their chosen profession as a means to make a good living.

Much of it might be because their license (MIT, BSD etc) was ignored completely.

If it weren't expanding wouldn't the points of light from the 100s of billions of galaxies remain for us see in the visible spectrum?

This is the outcome that every privacy advocate has been warning about for decades and being increasingly challenged by people who were fine with it as 'they have nothing to hide and do no wrong'.

This is always a hot topic on HN.

My takeaway from all of the discussions is that the ability to 'see' an imagined visual representation of something exists on a spectrum from absolutely nothing ever, into a minds eye abstract idea of an image (like a melody heard in your mind rather than your ears) toward a full ability to see an image overlay in the visual space. There's a lot of debate as to whether this is a trainable ability.

I have caught myself writing in a manner similar to LLM output. I put it down to reading so much of LLM content at work and online that it bleeds into my own style.. Nothing egregious like the "it's not this, it's that" pattern, but more subtle like the cadence and the balance of active vs passive voice.

What I'm saying is that it's possible that some of these tells are becoming part of standard writing style now.

Maybe a future frontier LLM could approach the problem by first building its own stockfish, then applying the subsequent results

By this logic everyone should have their own impact website. The suggestion that everyone right now not giving a meaningful percentage of their income to save a life is responsible for ending that life, is ridiculous.

So are you saying we should have a credits doc for all major contributors to all software and hardware products, both human and LLM? I'd agree with that, this is not available at the moment for the most popular and profitable products in use currently.

If I plan a project to build an app and write the full technical specifications and architecture myself, draft data structures, and even provide logic suggestions, and then hand it over to a team of humans to implement - it is at least my teams work. A case can be made that it still primarily my own work (no one expresses much issue with the title: Sid Meier's Civilization as an example).

If I have a large amount of capital to burn, and an idea that begins and ends with 'build me a Groupon clone for x market', then just pour money into a team of outsourced humans at a software sweatshop to build it. Is it still my work? Again, not many people would object if I were the face of that company, it is after all my app.

I'm struggling to see what the difference is if humans were swapped with LLMs in each case? Is the issue that the LLM models were trained on plagiarized code? I agree we should take issue this aspect, but when it comes to being honest about credit for the 'doing' part, this has never been the case, pre or post LLMs.

An LLM can build novel things if guided by a human with a novel idea.

The issue is that simple and novel can also be copied easily (anyone can just point an LLM at the target and ask it to build a local personal version). The days of making money from this class of app are over.

Novel and very complex ideas will still make money, but outside of gaming are usually niche markets.

Novel and moderately complex apps will have to build their own moats to prevent copying - heavy server side rendering, server logic processing, and an idea that can't be re-implemented on simple CRUD architecture.

I can't reply to your latest comment as we reached the end of the thread. It's all good, let's agree to disagree on a few points. Discussions like this are difficult enough, and through text on a site like this even more so

So many assumptions. Have I now ascended to become the embodiment of everything you hate in the world? As the kids say, touch some grass, and then thank God you weren't born Iranian

Claude, create a webpage that provides family tree diagrams of all European royal families, clicking on each name expands the element to include any notable events from that person's life.

No-one alive more than a few years needs reminding that Iran is part of the 'axis of evil'. However, there are a large number of people unaware that my country and allies are also currently committing warcrimes.

You have the right to believe what you like, in my opinion the consequences for blaming our own crimes on others is dire.

If we are at a point where - instead of condemning each active warcrime as being independently abhorrent, we are offering friendly suggestions to consider each in relation to others on some subjective view of severity then I don't see much hope for our children.

The semblance of an international order post world war 2 at least suggested that we as a species were attempting to move toward a better place. Many notable breaches occurred but there was a much stronger universal condemnation of each, with real political repercussions even for western powers.

..and so the thin veil of the post war order fell away, not with a bang but with proclamations of moral relativism perceived as virtue.

Would it? Or would it just open up another revenue stream for websites? Verified corporate accounts sure, but with prices set per number of usernames per account, billed monthly.

This seems to be common in large corporations. Your example (requirements changing haphazardly) is a very common occurrence, it's a class of problem where the inevitable failure can't be isolated to one or two things with certainly.

Failure could be team burnout and attrition, it could be a major bug due to fast tracking validation (or not checking AI output), or a fundamental architectural issue with future repercussions that with a clearer mindset would have been considered .. or myriad other things in combination.

The person calling out the risk knows that it will 100% cause a failure somewhere. Exactly where and how the failure will occur cannot be predicted beforehand and it actually doesn't matter as the end result will be a missed delivery or incident.

Unfortunately the executive decision maker needs a concrete failure in order to implement a concrete solution.

I'm struggling with this on a hobby project now. I'm torn between continuing the fast pace of development and taking a pause and checking the entire codebase.

The more features I add now will likely make the inevitable refactor much harder, but adding new features is so easy that I want want extend this illusion of productivity just a little bit longer!

I agree, long may the 'its not x, not y, it's z' phrasing persist.

It's not privilege, it was demanded by workers who fought hard to obtain it. We should be more conscious of this, if only to help stave off the constant attempts to erode what our ancestors gained for us.

I'm not an AI advocate by any means, but its usefulness is not all or nothing. I use it at work a lot - scanning our documentation + data warehouse + version control system all at once saves me a lot of time. I can let it build boiler plate code (via skills) and the actual code implementation as a template/POC for me to then edit, again saving a lot of time.

Outside of my work - AI video has reached a point where creative artists are generating engaging, realistic content that is genuinely entertaining. IMO the common thread is that in the right hands it can produce amazing things. For anyone without the expertise, it defaults to slop.

Is there a solution for audio and video downscaling when accessing content via the browser in a linux htpc setup?

I don't think any of the big streaming content providers have native apps on linux and no browser can pass through audio bitstreams to HDMI. Video quality is limited as well.

Having a dedicated streaming box is better in this regard

You're using it to help you study and think, which is great, but the original post was about how many people are bypassing that step entirely.

Perhaps we end up demanding no doubt. Human only community meet ups to discuss and share ideas, music and art. No recording allowed.

The Internet becomes primarily a passive stream of information vetted by government and Mega Corps, just like the TVs of old. Except for the nifty buy with one click button of course

Senior developers know what behavior to constrain.

If incorrect LLM output is a prompt issue then demand for experienced developers will remain, and demand may actually increase as time passes.

The brand that's 'Australian for beer' is very difficult to find in its domestic market!

You don't, and if businesses start using vibed reports for regulated reporting then I guess we'll see soon what the courts say about that
