Automated building tracing is okay sometimes, but actively harmful other times. I know that at least in my region, Rapid footprints are all meters offset from the real location, because when they were building their dataset they weren'

I think, with all due respect, that your supervisor would be correct to think of that email as an insult to both them and to theoretical mathematicians as a field.

While I fully agree, we shouldn't anthropomorphize the models, it's also silly to pretend that "develop biases" is understood as implying anthropomorphic features of the thing being discussed. Organizations and abstract

Yup. Before they just blackholed Finnish IP ranges instead, accessing the site from one would serve a fake Cloudflare page with a reCAPTCHA challenge and the DDoS script. (The tell of it being fake is y'know, that Cloudflare doesn&#x27

That's great, how does that absolve the archive.today maintainer's bad faith activities, including creating a country-wall?

DDoSing a website, modifying their archives surreptitiously to serve their own wants (which was what tipped Wikipedia towards banning their use), running weird sockpuppet campaigns to build dependence on them, and fucking with Cloudflare&#x

Plenty of these abusive scrapers are utilizing retail residential proxies, which will be applying forced rotations to avoid "burning" their compromised and or otherwise surreptitiously utilized IP address.

I personally doubt they gave the models specific instructions calling out named websites to communicate over, but I do agree that OpenAI is likely training their cybersecurity-enabled models in ways that encourages abusive and amoral behavi

Or just, stop any containers it deployed. Not to mention that "deploy itself" is a very ambiguous thing for it to actually do. Would a model be trained to write about the weights file being "itself"? Would it have the ne

You're arguing for calling it AGI, but again, this tread was about calling it ASI.

Since they're statistical likelihood machines, I'd guess that the order of operations is * Need persistent scratch space * Look for public writeable websites * Needs to be low-traffic so the notes don't drown in noise * Pick

I don't think that's a pattern indicative of a cat and mouse game per se, that'd indicate active evasion on the models' part. It's more clear that they just lack so many forms of prudence when it comes to security t

This subthread was about the root list of claims being "more like ASI instead of AGI." By definition being superhuman means doing things no human can.

A more important point as to why it doesn't matter if "reading the AI's 'thoughts'" helps to interpret it: As we saw in the HuggingFace incident, nobody at OpenAI is reading the thoughts anyways. No amount of t

The model doesn't "know" how to generate tokens any more than it knows how to stop generating tokens. The sampler simply stops pulling values when it outputs a "stop token", which is a token the same way every other

The regulations are for OpenAI the corporate entity, not the technology. Doesn't matter how cutting edge you are if you don't behave responsibly.

I know that there are at least a few content farms out there that specifically pump out "faceless video" to be resold, ie. those "hands in frame only" videos. The idea being that you can then put on some AI generated voi

Patching over the architectural nightmares LLMs pour out is I think the opposite of artisan programming.

That's why I said intent rather than letter. That said if we allow for arbitrary lengths of time, one could argue that sending back a reply indicating that the source will be delivered in 50-75 years is equally compliant.

I definitely remember seeing a post by a Chromium maintainer talking about starting development on a proof of concept implementation and surveying for semantics.

A reasonable interpretation would be that they had a previous process that eliminated delivery latency and required no manual manpower for responding, so changing it has been done to induce artificial friction, against the intent of the lic

Saying that the average person can't write good documentation or copy means nothing when the LLMs can't write good documentation or copy either. I'd rather have crappy human written docs than the LLM word salad. For example,

Personally, "AI wrote a driver" and "AI rebottled an existing solution and sold it as Dr. Claude's Miracle Driver" are semantically very different claims to be making in the public square. If you're only making

Being signed into Google doesn't really figure into Cloudflare's systems at all, haven't for years. They replaced ReCaptcha ages ago.

The code for expert systems and especially decision trees can be audited. How do you audit a language model's decisions when it could have had hidden trigger phrases that subtly influence its reasoning baked into it?

If it was overtrained on academic papers it'd reiterate the point multiple times for structure. Instead, it's burying the lede seemingly just to pad.
