staticman2··on Apple targets dozens of OpenAI employees with legal letters
> If they refuse to coöperate with Apple, they’ll get personally sued as well.

This isn't law and order and that's not how civil litigation works.

staticman2··on Apple targets dozens of OpenAI employees with legal letters
Would they have had to disclose a known Apple lawsuit threat in the IPO disclosures? If so that might explain the delay...

Also Apple could have filed the litigation right before the IPO and after a IPO announcement. OpenAI doesn't get to decide when Apple sues them.

Uber was not forced to leave the self driving car market by Waymo's litigation. The litigation ended in February 2018 and Uber left the market in December 2020.

Fair use is a defense when using copyrighted data. It is not a declaration that the data isn't copyrighted.

So they are in fact literally putting copyrighted data into the model weights and reselling it.

staticman2··on NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook
They probably changed the name because they've been integrating it with the Gemini web page where it now appears on the left above recent chats.

I was skeptical because the 2.6 getting started description doesn’t say open source either. I do however appreciate the correction.

That's a quickstart page for using the model on the platform not a page about the model. I am skeptical you are correct that it said something about model license earlier.

Edited: I was wrong.

staticman2··on How to stop Claude from saying load-bearing
The comment you replied to was making the point that when humans communicate the writing can reveal their thought processes. Outsource that to AI and that thought process is concealed.

This has almost nothing to do with your reply.

staticman2··on SpaceX bond worth 10% less than issue price – heading for junk bond status
I'm sure people planning to invest for only 1 year of their lifespan and began their investment journey exactly 1 year ago and who are in the process of selling everything they own today never to invest in stocks ever again will find that Nasdaq one year performance very useful information!
staticman2··on Cyberpunk Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels
The movie starts with a bunch of female nudity during the credit sequence.

It's arty but there's no doubt it's done that way in part due to horniness.

staticman2··on Cyberpunk Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels
He's always been a very horny creator and the original Ghost In the Shell movie (in fairness not directed by him) has the female main character need to get nude to use her stealth ability while the men can leave their clothes on.

Whatever narrative you've invented of Shirow changing over time is a stretch.

I too would like to know about GP's roaring rampage of revenge arc against the NY Times.
staticman2··on How Donkey Kong Toppled Atari
Adding to what you wrote the NES was front loaded because it was designed to look like a VCR because they thought that aesthetic would sell better in the U.S.
staticman2··on How Donkey Kong Toppled Atari
I don't know why we are making this arbitrary distinction between Mario games and Donkey Kong games.

But if we are the main Mario franchise games are the "Super Mario" games. Donkey Kong is not part of the "Super Mario" series and his "Mario" is not "Super" .

staticman2··on GLM 5.2 and the coming AI margin collapse
Anthropic has discontinued models in as little as 13 months from launch so if you do business with them switching can't be that big a deal?
staticman2··on Fable 5 is Back
If you're doing such amazing things why the need to gush about Minecraft tweets?
staticman2··on Fable 5 is Back
But nobody has nailed "this is a game anyone wants to play" or "professional game development life cycles are shorter" so it's not particularly impressive.

I'm still waiting for any evidence of LLM economic impact in the real world.

staticman2··on AI fake news complaining about how AI fake news is the death of real news
How can the AI solve a medical mystery?

I suppose if it says something like "Eat more broccoli" and the suggestion works you can assume the answer is accurate.

But for me it's more likely to say "maybe you have xxxx" and I would still need to see a specialist to do tests like colonoscopies to know?

I suffer from one condition with no cure and little literature and every once in a while I've seen on a related subreddit I no longer read "I'm using AI you guys and this AI SLOP will surely help!!!"

staticman2··on Fable 5 is Back
"Some idiot on Twitter did a game tech demo" has been a thing since, like GPT 3.5 or 4.0?
staticman2··on Most arguments are about ego, not ideas
On the other hand on this web site at least I think people ask questions passive aggressively at times.

Instead of honestly saying "I think you are wrong because..." they passive aggressively pretends they are "just asking questions."

Of course on non controversial topics a question is likely to just be a question.

Vanguard has 12T under management so you believe any PDF they put out 12 times more?

I plug a wireless keyboard into my client device for these situations though it does add clutter to the room.
staticman2··on My Steam Machine is a 50ft HDMI cable
Dualsense's main advantage is the built in trackpad and gyroscope but if you want to play wirelessly you are probably better off switching to the Steam Controller at this point which also has a trackpad and gyroscope. Or if using Windows standard Xbox controller if you don't need a trackpad or gyroscope, as Xbox controllers have first class support.

> can get 4K HDR 120Hz running over gigabit Ethernet without visually sacrificing too much on bitrate,

While I agree game streaming can work well, in practice on a modern game the frame rate will vary if you try to get 4k hdr 120k and I don't believe a game stream can use variable refresh rate. In practice what do you do if playing a modern AAA game? Do you set the frame rate to a locked 60?

I used to do game streaming but ended up buying a 50 foot HDMI cable and USB and ethernet to link two rooms. One advantage of this is I don't need to worry about what frame rate to set the stream at and my Xbox adapter (or any adapter really) can be used natively on USB without worrying about controller compatibility over Ethernet.

staticman2··on Computer use in Gemini 3.5 Flash
You didn't say whether you were using the App but the App's performance seems to be severely throttled compared to API.

I'm not loving this turn of phrase. Seems very Weasel-worded. Did not know about it according to who? I think we need a better news source.

staticman2··on Use of AI to Get News in U.S. Is Rare
How is it the most accessible way when stories are paywalled?

What good is a "range of references" if the higher quality references are not accessible to the AI?

You also claim readers want "want headlines and bias confirmation" but AI is very well known to engage in sycophancy.

staticman2··on Mistral OCR 4
I don't know about Opus but I can tell you with Gemini the subscription product OCR is apparently not done by the model. It used a separate old fashioned OCR tool and gives bad results in my tests.

But with Gemini the API the model does do the OCR resulting in much better accuracy.

staticman2··on John Jumper to join Anthropic
They did give an ETA. They said 3.5 Pro would come out in June.
