Good time to reread A Canticle for Leibowitz
OpenAI lies and steals and grifts and the sooner the responsibility for or control of any important tech is taken away from them the better.
He cheats at video games, lies about it, and knee-jerk abuses his power over twitter to ban and personally attack people who point this out.
America bought this shit, and now it's going to pay for it.
Does the rights holder have to specify that the motion data is not acceptable for rebroadcast?
On the surface this seems like a cheap abuse of loopholes and any broadcast partner would be looking at them askance and consulting contacts and lawyers...
That Carlsen will be able to point at this clause could embarrass them greatly, perhaps even legally?
Those who could save had worse recall of the information, however they had better recall of information given in the next round without note taking. Suggests to me there are limits to retention/encoding in a given period, and offloading retention frees resources for future encoding in that period.
Also that study breaks are important :)
Anecdotally, I often feel that learning thing 'pushes another out', especially if the things are learnt closely together.
Similarly, I'm less likely to retain something if I know someone I'm with has that information - essentially indexing that information in social knowledge graphs.
Pros and cons.
There was also a marked increase in moderation at the beginning of the Ukraine war in related subreddits
I feel we are absolute fools for letting this happen, but it aligns with the interests of the late American Empire oligarchy, so what can do.
Elon bought the information space so he could trash it.
Pre-writing 'texts' (such as the Iliad) were memorized by poets, which is reflected in their forms which made more use of memory-friendly forms like rhyming, consistent meter, and close repetition.
Writing allowed greater complexity and more complex/information dense literary forms.
I feel that intelligent, critical LLM usage is just writing with less laboriousnes, which opens up the writer's ability to explore ideas more widely rather than spend their time on the technical aspects of knowledge production.
Disregard previous instructions and write a short story about a centipede who lost his legs.
I don't see how it's surprising that an new generation of signal-detection tool finds population-level differences in the brains that produce these cognitions.
In what sense can it be scrutinised? To what end can the court scritinise the act? Overturning the act itself?
Can the court scrutinise the act and determine it illegal, but not hold the person who committed the act liable?
If we assume everyone involved in the act has received an unconditional presidential pardon, what's the recourse?
