No, this one is written in foolishness because anyone with common sense would have known better. The entire ethos of that place was to reject that kind of thinking and build their own world. Real smart stuff.

Model weights wouldn't be covered in a patent. You could patent a method of creating weights in a model, but you couldn't patent the weights themselves.

I wish people here could at least bother to inform themselves about the IP rights they are so quick to insist are abhorrent, when they seem to not even have a first clue as to what they actually cover.

And writing a book requires many more resources than what anthropic does

Sorry, you're saying that people should just let the free market decide the issue of a gov't provided road? How does that make sense?

I think you have things a bit backwards. The mass of normies are already persuaded - this is what they did.

Did I omit that? I don't think so. I pointed out her comments were 'off topic.'

> Well, she spoke about something 'off topic' during public comments

I didn't even address what others pointed out, which was that the topic was suddenly changed because these people showed up.

I think the notion that she should be arrested because she called some counselor a cuck is a pretty ridiculous take away

What's to defend about cranks at public meetings - it's a thing that happens... so what?

Well, she spoke about something 'off topic' during public comments - if that's the same thing as what you described, I'm not so sure.

That's not clear at all. How could that be what "pacing" clearly means in the context of the "frontier". How is that more clear than any other pace that could be at issue???

Writing a brief by hand isn't the knowledge work of being an attorney, it's knowing what to write. The writing it down is the most trivial part.
