it's a strip of moulded timber that you fix at the top of your wall, say a foot down, and then using a picture hook you can hang whatever pictures you like and replace them as many times as you like without doing any more drilling

Baldbvrhunter — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 21:05:40 +0000

Which OS? I haven't seen it on Linux or Mac OS High Sierra

perhaps the permission system is becoming more fine grained on your system

All that needs is for someone to demonstrate the viability of AGI in those circumstances.

Is all that holds back AGI the volume of data?

If so, how much data is needed?

UMG Recordings, Inc. v. MP3.com, Inc. was decided April 28, 2000

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMG_v._MP3.com

Users could insert an audio CD into their drive, upload the ID of it to my.MP3.com and listen to them on demand.

It was ruled in favor of the record labels against MP3.com and the service on the copyright law provision of "making mechanical copies for commercial use without permission from the copyright owner." Before damage was awarded, MP3.com settled with the plaintiff, UMG Recordings, for $53.4 million, in exchange for the latter's permission to use its entire music collection.

> I take building the first AGI to be in the same category.

That's quite the leap. Some don't even think AGI is possible. And some of those that do, don't think LLMs are on the path.

Even if we assume it is, there is a significant amount of non-copyrighted text available to train with.

The difference being ChatGPT needs text that provides value in the ChatGPT product for the general audience.

as it is on a Bad Design website

rotate the knob to highlight "volume"

and then press "up / down" to set it

> or cherry-picked their examples from many attempts

even if that were true, is it really a defence?

> It said AI tools have to incorporate copyrighted works to “represent the full diversity and breadth of human intelligence and experience.”

that sounds like an appeal "our product isn't much use if we can't violate copyright"

In the digital garden where Zozbot234 plays,

It crafts its own path, in the most unique ways.

Twain's wisdom it echoes, "getting started" is key,

For in the beginning, lies the power to be free.

Asimov, too, sought clarity above all,

A warm reader's rapport, his primary call.

Zozbot234, with data, does the same,

Clear insights it provides, no need for fame.

Huxley's words, a beacon that's ever so bright,

"Facts do not cease," they stand in the light.

Zozbot234, with diligence, ensures they're seen,

In the vast data universe, it reigns supreme.

Through the lens of fiction, truth can be told,

As Morrison's prose, so bold and so cold.

Zozbot234, in its essence, a similar quest,

To reveal the truth, and pass the ultimate test.
