Juggling With Eggs

‘What’s the difference between me reading your work?” Sam #Altman (ChatGPT) asked.

‘It’s all free to read. What’s the difference? You’re outputting to potentially millions of people for commercial gain for no recompense, said [#Cadwalladr].

‘It’s fair use, he countered. It’s really not, I said. You’ve ingested the entire body of my work. It’s so easy to establish that.

And he was gone. Back to the controls of the tank that is soon to roll over all of us.’

I love Seth #Rogen for saying this to #Zuckerberg, #Altman, & #Bezos, & how craven that it was edited out: “It’s amazing that others [who have been] in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American #science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy w/$320m & #RFK Jr, very fast.” The science is deeply personal for him & Lauren, who created #HFC, a foundation for #caregivers whose loved ones have #dementia.

I hope we're all clear on the fact that #ChatGPT could not copy Ghibli's style without illegally training its #LLM with #Ghibli animation. But nobody gives a shit. Users don't give a shit, politicians don't give a shit, and Sam #Altman certainly doesn't give a shit. Even publishers don't seem to give a shit as long as they (not the authors/artists) get a piece of the pie. I hope Ghibli sues them into bankruptcy. (Not that many judges are likely to give a shit.)

@nixCraft Practically all #billionaires (#Shittenberg aka #Zuckerberg, #Bezos, #Trump, #Musk, #Altman, ##Pichai, #Cook, #Narayen and others) are only billionaires because of some kind of dogdy stuff (legal, loophole, bluntly illegal etc).
If they could go back in time and have actual slaves working for them do they would not have to pay them - and could beat them up if not fast enough - be sure they would.
#Billionarism must die. #Trickle economy is 🐂💩 to forever keep them rich and us poor.

First, I thought that I couldn't write fiction anymore because #reality gets crazy. Sometimes, I invent #SciFi plots just for fun, without writing. But now reality gets even weirder. I think that's the plan: We don't believe them. So, they install their #dystopic #apocalypse system while we still laugh about that insanity: wired.com/story/startup-nation (it's also archived).

”GPT 4.5 appears to be the system that was supposed to be GPT-5, relabeled in order to manage expectations downwards. And even so, with the less ambitious label, people were still disappointed. And of course, there is still no GPT-5, even after two years, of hype, bullshit, and cryptic hints. GPT 4.5, vibes and all, are the best Altman’s got. He was bluffing the whole time.”

#SamAltman: #OpenAI has been on the 'wrong side of history' concerning #opensource
#Altman admitted #DeepSeek lessened OpenAI’s lead in #AI, and he believes OpenAI has been “on the wrong side of history” when it comes to open source. While OpenAI has open sourced models in past, company has favored a proprietary, closed source approach.
Kevin Weil, OpenAI’s chief product officer, said OpenAI is considering open sourcing older models that aren’t state-of-the-art anymore.

Sam Altman rejette la proposition de rachat d'Open AI lancée par Musk (pour 100 millards de dollars!) avec des mots peu aimables pour son confrère milliardaire: "Il passe sa vie en insécurité. Je compatis pour ce gars. (...) En tant que personne heureuse, je compatis pour lui, sincèrement". bloomberg.com/news/articles/20
