  The point is that raw AI output provides absolutely no value to a conversation, and is thus noisy and rude.

  When we ask questions on a public forum, we’re looking to talk to people about their own experience and research through the lens of their own being and expertise. We’re all capable of prompting an AI agent. If we wanted AI answers, we’d prompt an AI agent.

  Thanks, I had copy-pasted it from the website :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My interpretation was that AI companies can train on material they are licensed to use, but the courts have deemed that Anthropic pirated this material as they were not licensed to use it.

  In other words, if Anthropic bought the physical or digital books, it would be fine so long as their AI couldn’t spit it out verbatim, but they didn’t even do that, i.e. the AI crawler pirated the book.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gist:

  What’s new: The Northern District of California has granted a summary judgment for Anthropic that the training use of the copyrighted books and the print-to-digital format change were both “fair use” (full order below box). However, the court also found that the pirated library copies that Anthropic collected could not be deemed as training copies, and therefore, the use of this material was not “fair”. The court also announced that it will have a trial on the pirated copies and any resulting damages, adding:

  “That Anthropic later bought a copy of a book it earlier stole off the internet will not absolve it of liability for the theft but it may affect the extent of statutory damages.”

  It’s a loaded term that should be replaced with a more nimble definition.

  A dog whistle is the name for a loaded term that is used to tag a specific target with a large baggage of information, but in a way where only people who are part of the “in group” can understand the baggage of the word, hence “dog whistle”, only heard by dogs.

  In the case of the word “degeneracy”, it’s a vague word that has been often used to attack, among other things, LGBTQ and their allies as well as non-religious people. The term is vague enough that the user can easily weasel their way out of criticism for its usage, but the target audience gets the message loud and clear.

  Another example of such a word would be “woke”.

  Absolutely, and being repeatedly reminded to get your COVID or measles shots is “positive” propaganda. Herd immunity is objectively a good thing, but any sort of PSA is propaganda. (please get your shots)

  It’s like the word “consequence”, people always think consequences are always bad, when you could say “I got rich as a consequence of winning the lottery”, or, re-worded, “I won the lottery, and consequently, I became rich”.
