Yeah, you know that episode where Homer does pranks for Mr Burns and goes in and buys a no 1 spiderman from the comic book guy and eats it in front of him. That's how most people feel about book destruction. Nothing legally wrong, but disgusting nonetheless.

It works for them not scraping their own slop back into training data. I assume that is actually the real purpose of the system. They don't want to share the key with the public. But they probably will with other llm companies in exchange for theirs.

My tinfoil head tells me they don't want to ingest their own slop for training. But this only helps them if others do the same. Data poisoning is a real problem for llm future.

This won't work - you can always use a dumber, open model to rephrase and remove the watermark. All this does is marketing for anthropic, which I see most people are buying. Gives you a false impression you will easily be able to figure out if it's done by AI, which it is not. Liars are still gonna lie, cheaters still gonna cheat.

Endgame is training data is audited and ethically or at least legally acquired for ALL companies making models.

Ugh... I don't know whether to upvote or downvote...

So AI is whatever makes you right and me wrong, basically? Of course the ones responsible are the people building products based on AI. Nobody is arguing LLMs themselves are evil. What I'm talking about are massive datacenters built overly fast so that they need to use evaporative cooling and micro-turbines is an utterly irresponsible use of that technology. It's like rushing to build a faster car than China and so you don't install brakes and your cars start killing everyone on the streets. Of course a car isn't evil, it's the people irresponsibly designing them. AI tech is constantly doing propaganda fear mongering that if you don't use their product RIGHT NOW - you're getting left behind. If you don't integrate them in your business RIGHT NOW, you're gonna get overrun by competition. And the product is not nearly as reliable as they push it and not nearly as powerful as they claim. It's a universal tool that is inefficient at any specific, specialized task. In fact, it's painfully INEFFICIENT. But you and I wouldn't know it, because nobody is publishing exactly how much it costs to run and how much they are subsidizing the use of it. The technology is useful, even revolutionary, but the way it's overwhelmingly being used right now is bullshit. This way is not sustainable, not profitable and will end up costing the entire world. That's what's gonna happen. The technology will stick and people will find best uses for it and start paying attention about its use. But I doubt it will survive in this current form.

Dude, USA affects all of the world already in a very significant way. Western world especially. While the decay of American imperialism is something a lot of us would like to see, it will, in the short term affect everyone negatively. The USA will not go out without a fight. Already, people across the world suffer because of it. It is precisely because of the USA and their economy. Economy, which is undoubtedly, by their own accounts, dominated by the AI tech industry. So, although indirectly, people outside the USA are negatively impacted by the AI. Not to mention direct impact it has (military literally being driven by AI).

Hahah :(

Why is everywhere you look all of the leadership doubling down on idiocy? All of the western world, not just usa.
