The worst thing about LLM is that managers got convinced that LLMs improve performance and they calculated it in their spreadsheets, now requiring their teams to use LLM and enforcing the allegedly better productivity results. When it does not happen they blame the people not AI
They want to establish cities that are exempt from most US law and regulation (or whatever host country they leech on to), giving the company that owns the city basically complete power over everything and everyone that has the misfortune to be there.
The US recently pardoned a major narco-terrorsist in the hopes of propping up the Honduran experiment.
I'll preempt anyone else: Yes I probably exaggerated a bit in how I described the idea. Still, these assholes are working to eliminate wages, labor laws, environmental regs, property ownership, etc.
Karp isn't british, and its not like Oswald Mosley is that well known in the UK.
Mosley's speeches are not common knowledge. For example if you reference "rivers of blood" someone who's vaguely knowledgable in British politics will have a basic understanding of the reference. (Enoch Powell)
if you said "Hurray for the black shirts" someone might know you're talking about the daily mail's endorsement of Mosely. But thats the Dailymail, not Mosley.
But if you say "britian first speech" you'll get blank looks. Even if you're a politics nerd.
So for someone who is pretty uninterested in british politics, to memorise a speech from oswald mosley, is deeply fucking weird. Now, if that had been some politician like Lloyd George or Disraeli, you know someone who was actually a good orator, still weird, but not much else.
To memorise a speech from a fascist, who married a fascist, organised a fascist party, was interred for being a fascist, and tell it back to the grandson of that fascist, who you employed mainly because he's the grandson of the fascist, is big fucking tell that he's a bit fascist.
This is something really important, especially in the days when music and film vanishes from platforms one by one. I myself have three playlists with greyed out titles (titles are missing so there's no possibility for me to find out what was there).
That's why I divide music to the one that I want to have forever - I buy it on CDs - and dance music that I can live without one day
I really appreciate platforms that still show the titles and metadada after something is removed. Then at least I can go find it again to maintain my collection.
Tidal does this.
Reg. 3 AI is a lossy compression of text indeed. I recommend youtubing "karpathy deep dive LLM" (/7xTGNNLPyMI) - he shows that the open texts used in the training are regurgitated unchanged when speaking to the raw model. It means that if you say to the model "oh say can you" it will answer "see by the dawn's early light" or something similar like "by the morning's sun" or whatever. So very lossy but compression, which would be something else without the given text that was used in the training
Normally people get punished for downloading illegal books. Allegedly someone at meta downloaded hella ton of illegal books and taught the LLM on them and they said "oh it was for his/hers private usage". You won't get justice here
This to me is the most ridiculous thing about the whole AI situation. Piracy is now apparently just okay as long as you do it on an industrial scale and with the expressed intention of hurting the economic prospects of the authors of the pirated work.
Seems completely ridiculous when compared to the trouble I was in that one time I pirated a single book that I was unable to purchase.
We've essentially given up on pretending that corporations are also held accountable for their crimes in the recent years, and I think that's more worrying than anything.
Hollywood and media publishers run entire franchises of legal bullies across developed world to harass individuals, and lobby for laws allowing easy prosecution of ISP contract owner. Even Google Books was castrated because of IP rights. Now I have hard time to imagine how this IP+AI cartel operates. Nowadays everyone and their cat throws millions on AI so I imagine IP owners get their share.
Recently archive.org got into trouble for renting one book (or fixed amount of books) exclusively on the whole world, like in a library. Sad men from law office came and made an example of them, but it seems that if they used those books to teach AI and serve the content in "remembered" way, they would get away with it.
Well, so what the actual ruling was was that use of the books was okay, but only if they were legally obtained. And so the authors could proceed with a lawsuit for illegally downloading the books. But then presumably compensation for torrenting the books was included as part of the out of court settlement. So the lesson is something like AI is fine, but torrenting books is still not acceptable, m'kay wink wink.
That's really impressive. As you wrote it in C it gets automatically compilable to webasm and usable in js. I wonder how Java would behave here... As JNI is not the fastest (used to be not the fastest?)
