"Ho ho ho! I'm sorry but our time is up. If you want to keep talking to Santa, go into Daddy's wallet or Mommy's purse and bring Santa the rectangular cards with the numbers on it. Now, let's play a numbers game! You read the numbers on that card to me, and I'll tell you what you're getting for Christmas!"
1. After 60 minutes, it turns into junk? Or is there a reload feature?
2. Is every Christmas home going to have a Chinese-made surveillance station with unknown data collection destinations in their home?
It's a common misconception that bats eat mosquitoes.
It comes from a study where bats were trapped in a chamber filled with mosquitoes to see how many they could eat.
A comparable experiment would be putting a human in a cage filled with bread crumbs to see how many the human eats.
In our natural habitat, we eat slices of bread and other food. We don't waste the time and energy of consuming bread crumbs unless given no alternative.
Yes, bats can eat mosquitoes, but why bother when there are much larger, nutritious insects to catch with the same effort?
No Guðmundsdóttirs were harmed in the making of the foregoing video, although I'm sure she would be charming and adorable while sustaining a minor electrical shock.
When I stumbled upon this months ago I was entirely taken in by it, as every time I see the video with the back of the TV off, I wonder how she didn't get shocked. I had a really good laugh when the video was done.
The alternative is to build a time machine and redo November 2024. The future is dictated by the whim of an unprincipled wannabe dictator that either doesn't understand the Constitution or simply doesn't care.
3d UIs don't work, every attempt has failed to reach mass adoption
IR keyboards lack haptic feedback
Aside from enhancedprivacy, a desire to drain your battery, a lack of recurring revenue for local phone LLMs, and functioning when network is inaccessible, what would a local LLM do that a network-enabled feature couldn't?
What's more fair is for Anthropic to put 5% of their preferred shares at their most recent valuation into a pool that the authors of these books can make a claim against. For 18 months, any author in this cache of books can claim their ownership and rights to their proportional amount of the shares within all claimants.
Perhaps tokenize all of the books and assign proportionally for token count of each publication.
There would be no Claude without training data. None of these authors consented to their works being stolen, and there is no recourse to get their works unstolen.
If their works are so insignificant to Claude, just remove them from Claude and retrain. It's that simple. Claude is 100% the product of the works that were stolen, just as much as it is the product of the software developers and investors.
All the employees just got a million dollar bonus. The authors spent their entire lives up to the point of publishing each work refining their ideas, investing in education and experiences that allowed them to create their works that were stolen. If the result of that theft is a massive wealth-building AI machine, it makes sense that they should benefit from the ongoing use of their work.
Anthropic had a chance at licensing these works the standard way, and chose to skip it. Do you think the consequences of this should be that under court order they receive money that is likely the same or less than they would have negotiated had Anthropic not stolen from them?
Why would anyone hesitate to steal other publications if their only punishment is that on the off-chamce they get caught, they have to pay what they would have anyway? That's the ridiculous assertion.
> 100-1000x the value of their books
They would be getting 5% the value of their books. Claude without those books is nothing. Take all the books away from Claude and you can understand the true value they contributed.
Lol it's willful infringement which at law entitles them up to $150,000. Calling it "bloodlust" is just so ridiculous as to render you without any actual credibility in this conversation.
For those unaware, Trump has been on a personal vendetta against any and all windmills since some were built (despite his legal challenge) in Scotland within view of his golf course.
He literally asked fossil fuel interests for a billion dollars and said they'd make more than that back because of his changes.
I don't know why we all have to pretend that this is some personal Quixotic quest of his rather than open corruption:
> But Mr. Trump told executives they were not fighting hard enough. He also went on a rant about windmills, the attendees said. Mr. Trump has falsely claimed that wind turbines cause cancer and that offshore wind farms are “driving whales crazy.”
> Mr. Trump did not request money in exchange for killing Mr. Biden’s climate regulations, the two people in the room maintained. Rather, the former president told executives that he was determined to squash what he considered anti-business policies, and that the oil industry should therefore want him to win and should raise $1 billion to ensure his success.
> He told the executives that the amount of money they would save in taxes and legal expenses after he repealed regulations would more than cover a billion dollar contribution, the people said.
The problem is that it isn't corruption - at least, not legally speaking. The Citizen United decision made it possible for corporations to donate unspeakably large amounts of money to political candidates. This allows them to hand pick political candidates that will deliver the policies they want. This ultimately is the source of so many of the United States' problems.
Trump actually saying it out loud sure seems corrupt because in spirit, it is. It's just that the US SCOTUS decided corruption was just fine.
When you allow money in politics, politics becomes about money.
