We aren't? Well, maybe you and I aren't. But many are going to ChatGPT to get medical advice for themselves, their family members, and their pets. At what point of harm does a disclaimer at the bottom no longer serve? At what point is it no longer reasonable to just wave hands vaguely at it...

Please keep the general politics commentary off these boards, per the rules. Thanks.

Seems to be working fine for me so far today. Older windows 10 laptop, current Chrome browser.

You say that as if changing the dietary choices of an entire culture should be easier than changing the energy use patterns of a handful of companies. I don't agree with that assessment.

Thank you for a lead in for another direction to consider... Does anyone here think that devices used in medical practice should be thrown out into the market with no testing as to their efficacy or safety? Like, if someone built a new heart-lung machine to use during heart transplants, you'd...

Oh, that's gross.

This kind of stands as a lead-in to another issue: Generative AI is not objective or neutral. It can, and will, be skewed for various reasons. As an example, Musk just announced a new release of his social media platform's AI "Grok", because he didn't like the answers it was giving. Musk...

Do I see "whataboutism" rearing its head? I think I do! The fact that we use inefficient meat as a food source cannot be used to shield generative AI from its own energy use and environmental impact. The technology must stand on its own cost/benefit merits, not on the basis of how we don't...

Sure. By the same token, you thereby cannot use, "Well a good lawyer would do X, Y, and Z, so it is fine," as a defense of the tool. We have demonstrated that bad lawyers exist, and so our use-case for generative AI needs to include that issue. It cannot be dismissed as irrelevant. There's...

Well, actually.... "“What is different about generative AI is the power density it requires. Fundamentally, it is just computing, but a generative AI training cluster might consume seven or eight times more energy than a typical computing workload,” says Noman Bashir, lead author of the impact...

I think, he's saying that the tool is equivalent to a really bad lawyer.

So, it is extremely important to know that LLMs/generative AI is not the only stuff under the banner "AI". That matters when we talk about success claims.Just because one tool had a good success rate, doesn't mean the LLMs you have access to will. It is important to fully qualify that. It is...

This is the "Geek Talk & Media" sub-forum. 1) genAI is geek stuff. 2) We have law geeks here, too.

The logic, as I understand it, is based in "points of similarity". This can be understood a bit more easily in words or music - you don't have to steal an entire book or tune to be infringing - if you take enough recognizable segments, you're still in trouble. So, basically, if you take...

Mod Note: 1) Not all posts have to be logic supporting points. Memes are here to stay, so we advise getting used to them. 2) Maybe try a different phrasing that doesn't sound insulting such that it gets reported and mods come to review...

Burning books is generally what people on the wrong side of history do.

I remember that. They were NOT saying that the game itself wasn't performing up to expectations, wasn't selling as many traditionally RPG books as expected. They were saying that they could do more to get money out of the brand overall. It doesn't look like you paid enough attention to...

My understanding is (and someone correct me if I am wrong) the suit isn't that it "can". You cannot pursue copyright infringement in potentia. The case is that 1) it HAS done so, and 2) Midjourney has effectively advertised/ marketed the service on that basis. The suit isn't about potential...

Two things: 1) Businesses are made of people. There are no business decisions made or actions taken that aren't ultimately made by people. 2) You don't have to be a business to harm others.

My wife put one aspect of it in a good way. In the books, your view of all the other characters comes through Murderbot, a sarcastic, usually flat-affect person who doesn't understand a lot of human behavior. His depictions of individual people are... a bit lacking. It can be hard to keep...
