It's kind of mind blowing how dismissive of the ACA people are, even those who were aware before it went into effect. It wasn't by any means what it should have been, but medical access unequivocally improved vastly as a result of it.

Immigration judges aren't judicial judges, they are what are called administrative judges and do fall under the executive branch. That said, there is a lot of administrative law and procedure that is certainly still getting fucked by Trump/maga.

Daggerheart is not at all a PbtA game, though it borrows elements. It borrows pretty heftily from a lot of predecessors besides 5e, like pbta, fitd, cypher/numenera, and SWRPG/Genesys. With imo the last one sharing the most DNA.

Diffusion models iteratively convert noise across a space into forms and that's what they are trained to do. In contrast to, say, a GPT that basically performs a recursive token prediction in sequence. They're just totally different models, both in structure and mode of operation. Diffusion models are actually pretty incredible imo and I think we're just beginning to scratch the surface of their power. A very fundamental part of most modes of cognition is converting the noise of unstructured multimodal signal data into something with form and intention, so being able to do this with a model, even if only in very very narrow domains right now, is a pretty massive leap forward.

A quick search turns up that alpha fold 3, what they are using for this, is a diffusion architecture, not a transformer. It works more the image generators than the GPT text generators. It isn't really the same as "the LLMs".

It's interesting to me that NYC, Jewish, and gay/lesbian all had the same wildly incorrect estimate on average.

This...is an example of laws actually being applied to a wealthy corporate actor exactly as they are and have been applied to random ass individuals? What are you talking about.

Also, patents literally predate the US' founding, and copyright is hundreds of years old, moreover IP rights are enshrined in the constitution. Again, like, what???

What? No, this is just basic common sense law being applied as one would expect. They literally pirated shitloads of books via torrent. That's open and shut infringement and always has been. This doesn't apply to scraped text data you're licensed to access, or purchased books they digitized or purchased in digital form. It just finds that, no, you cannot torrent without license volumes and volumes of copyright protected material, even if your eventual user of it may be otherwise treated as fair use (or, imo, not at all infringing).

It won't tell us what to do, it'll do the very complex thing we ask it to. The biggest issues facing our species and planet atm all boil down to highly complex logistics. We produce enough food to make everyone in the world fat. There is sufficient shelter and housing to make everyone safe and secure from the elements. We know how to generate electricity and even distribute it securely without destroying the global climate systems. What we seem unable to do is allocate, transport, and prioritize resources to effectively execute on these things. Because they present very challenging logistical problems. The various disciplines underpinning AI dev, however, from ML to network sciences to resource allocation algorithms making your computer work, all are very well suited to solving logistics problems/building systems that do so. I really don't see a sustainable future where "AI" is not fundamental to the logistics operations supporting it.

Probable cause for ICE means a real and reasonable apprehension that if they don't make the arrest then, the individual is likely to flee were they to seek a judicial order or warrant. This is literally impossible to have in premeditated raids. The very act of planning and premeditation necessarily means they had time to seek a warrant before arrest. This person is full of shit and fully deserves to be "litigated in the streets." May they suffer the lack of peace they deserve.

I think this would actually trigger real rioting and violence. And that would give the Trump the veneer of legality he needs for Republican support to enact martial law. And that would trigger more rioting and violence spreading beyond NY. It would be a catastrophically stupid move on Trump's part. So probably by end of the month.

I imagine not, though I haven't looked into it.

God, why is the games industry so fucking illiterate when it comes to IP law. File a trademark opposition? They're suing! File a patent application without issued claims or even substantive examination? They've patented it! These aren't crazy fucking complicated concepts, but the journalism for games industries like actively stunts the understanding of these things by the market.

Do you like shovels? What an inane question. Capitalism is a tool. It works for some things and not for others. If you want to achieve the things it doesn't work for, you don't use it and use a better suited tool instead.

It probably uses a GPT of some sort at this point, tbh. There is no reason whatsoever using Google's ML translation or ChatGPT's ML translation should make any bit of difference to people who are actually upset over this if they have given any thought whatsoever to their concerns.

There are many open sourced locally executable free generative models available.

You are agreeing with the post you responded to. This ruling is only about training a model on legally obtained training data. It does not say it is ok to pirate works--if you pirate a work, no matter what you do with the infringing copy you've made, you've committed copyright infringement. It does not talk about model outputs, which is a very nuanced issue and likely to fall along similar analyses as music copyright imo. It only talks about whether training a model is intrinsically an infringement of copyright. And it isn't because anything else is insane and be functionally impossible to differentiate from learning a writing technique by reading a book you bought from an author. Even a model that has overfit training data, it is in no way recognizable to any particular training datum. It's hyperdimensioned matrix of numbers defining relationships between features and relationships between relationships.
