As most human behavior is not a product of genetics but a product of culture.

Pretty sure it’s a heavy combination of the 2. Not just culture

5 year minimum and the are forced to open source every abandoned project

So the Russians have discovered marketing…

Wise words my wife purposely does not accept

As with many (all?) speakers I have had, the pairing button is the same power button. I am supposed to start with the speaker off, press and hold until it turns on and then starts pairing.

The problem is that it usually connects (to the last phone it connected to, my wife’s in this scenario) before it even gets to the pairing stage. Even if I get to the pairing stage, it still prefers the previously connected phone :-(

Not sure what your use case is (or what devices you bought) but I only ever experienced some disconnects from a crappy AliExpress speaker. For the rest, in my 14 years or so of using BT regularly, I have never had any of those issues you mentioned

Check what BT profile your OS is switching the headset to (and what your headset can actually support). I use HSP/HFP with mSBC codec and it keeps pretty OK sound while in “headset mode”

yes yes yes but… will I finally be able to boot my wife off the bathroom speaker so I can play my music without running around the house naked yelling at her to disconnect?!

Yes, I missed the implied meaning when you said “generally intelligent”

I see… At first read I thought the generally was implying somewhat. I missed the meaning in aGi

The person I replied to said nobody was claiming LLMs were intelligent. I just posted that the people behind the push for this overhyped bubble are indeed making that claim

Whether people believe it is something else. But also, many people do believe it

You mean the stuff currently peddled everywhere as “Artificial intelligence”?

Yeah, nobody is saying they are intelligent

Well I agree with the concept of freeing IP but I don’t think the first step is to give such freedom to a closed, for profit, corporation. If OpenAI was indeed an open source project, then yes, but that is not the case today

If we give them free access to copyright material, what will happen is that it will be an exception for them but not for us. You know this.

I propose an analogy: Let’s imagine a company sells brush…

That would be analogous to any content publicly available for free (or via donation). OpenAI wants free access to the art being sold. They also don’t really create the brush, they produced slightly modified versions of the art produced by the artists who does not receive money or credit

Should all your teachers be paid for everything you produce throughout your life ?

They definitely should be paid more. But your analogy is completely off track here since, unlike AI, humans can actually posses and develop intelligence. Not just parrot combinations or the same things we have seen before

Should your parents gets compensated every time you use the knowledge you acquired from them ?

Ok now you are just flailing but even then, yes and most do as it is a general thing that kids take care of their parents when the kids are grown and parents cannot look after themselves

In case anyone reading is interested by my opinion…

This is your best paragraph and I would agree with it. It’s not compatible with capitalism as you allude but I’d be open to radical new thinking

However, that’s is not what’s at play here either. OpenAI wants something we all have to pay for, for free, so they can then resale something else. Worst yet, the value in what OpenAI wants to sell, lies basically on never paying again to the people who produce the stuff it wants for free

Humans can replicate anything found in the wild with minor variations, so AI should have the same access

But that’s not what OpenAI is asking though. They want free access for the type of content you or I need to pay for. And they want it so they can then sell the resulting “variation” they produce

Because crippling copyright for corporations is like answering the “defund the police” movement by turning all civilian police forces into paramilitary ones.

What most complain about copyright is that is too powerful in protecting material forever. Here, all the talk, is that all of that should continue for you and me but not for OpenAI so they can make more money.

And no, most of us would not benefit from OpenAI’s product here since their main goal (to profitability) is to show they can actually replace enough of us.

hmmm what you explained sounds exactly like the headline but in legalese…

It basically says “yes, we can train LLMs on free data but they would suck so much nobody would pay for them… unless we are able to train them for free on copyright data, nobody will pay us for the resulting LLM”. It is exactly what the headline summarizes

You are correct, copyright law is a bit of a mess; but giving the exception to the millionaires looking to become billionaires by replacing people with an LLM based on said people’s work, does not really seem a step forward

Or, how about a small fine. Maybe 5% of the extra profit they made in this scam and they don’t even have to stop or admit wrong doing

^ this is what will likely happen

That should be an advantage for Intel, yet here we are

The message also ends with a specifically worded call to action: “If possible, please use legal paid services. It’s something we should do to show our respect for creators and content producers.”

LOL… they have fucked EVERY artist with the “streaming is a new medium and you get no royalties from it”. Even Black Widow herself had to fight Disney in court to get paid for her very own movie.

Studios can go fuck themselves hard… they won stop piracy and they know it, this is why the always make such a big deal out of whatever little gain they make
