If they believe open weight models are inherently unsafe but are forced to release weights, then if they really believe their own safety arguments, they would need to stop development.

The hope was that it would be a slight rule tweak that would lead to fewer draws without favoring white too strongly.

I did and it's true, but I amended my statement at the top of this thread, which you've ignored. What I wrote is true (it is a claim about my experience), so I'm not sure what you're attacking. I amended my statement to

I said it wasn't something I wanted to read. Humans are capable of writing things I don't want to read. Which at this point is starting to include your comments.

What I said is that every time Pangram has said 100% AI, it is 100% something I don't want to read. I don't particularly care if it was written by humans or LLMs. Every time I've asked for evidence from someone who claims so

I don't know if putting a disclaimer at the very end of the blog, that you also disclaim, should be considered "very clear". "Here is, for those that have read this far, the acknowledgements that used to be in the formal

I never found a piece of text that pangram claims is 100% AI that to me seems like purely human written text. The only counter example is when a human composed a piece deliberately trying to mimic AI slop. So call it an AI slop detector if

Feel free to post the evidence yourself rather than directing me to a gigantic pile which you claim mostly does not even support your point.

Do you have any published dateable text from pre 2023? I'm super curious if you always wrote like this, because it is exactly in the style of AI slop. People say it's in the training data, but I haven't seen any good examples

Can you share your human piece that got flagged? And the AI piece that didn't? (Or snippets?) I've found pangram to be very accurate, so I'm curious.

Yes, my point, if the answer is that there is no way this works without every disc being different. It was not possible to manufacture at the time at scale.

How would your scheme work? You use RSA to encrypt the entire thing? Or you use it to get a key for a block cipher and then use that? I feel like either way, you'd need the key to be different for every CD, otherwise you could just sha

Was there anyway to make this work unless every CD was burned with a different key used to do the encryption?

I don't see how the reduction in price from a manuscript to a gutenberg pressed book is the same as the figure I was calculating? Anyway, feels like this is no longer a productive discussion.

Another way to phrase the question: how many copies on a Gutenberg before you're even in time with typesetting? Random online estimates suggest 4 hours to typeset a page and 200 pages an hour. So 800 copies. I think this makes my point

I think even the printing was still not _that_ fast. You needed to physically press down each page. Make sure the ink was right, replace the paper, make sure not to smudge anything, etc. I'd be surprised if they could average more than

I know them now, the questions were rhetorical. I agree that school curricula is often bad. I disagree that we should just accept it as hopeless and not hope it could get better.

by ekelsen 1mo ago
That's really awesome! Did they have you try and typeset something by hand? I feel like for us it presented as some magical thing that made producing books trivially easy, whereas in reality typesetting a page was still very labor inte

I wish school curriculum included things like "how printing actually worked through ages". Monks writing out manuscripts is somewhat relatable since we all (at least for now) still learn how to write. Everyone is taught the Gutenb

I said nothing about the em dash. It's the entire style of the piece, not one unit of punctuation.

I think one reason is also the style? Like you can not like the LLM style and that's a perfectly valid to reason to not like it. Attacking the use of LLMs might just be shorthand for the style or the long-winded vacuousness that people

You're bad at recognizing it, sorry to say. You might still like the content or even the style, which is fine. But know that it was mostly written by a machine, not a human.

I think the quoted sentence is basically saying his work is workman like and doesn't cause the chills that reading something truly great does. (I don't agree)

You do realize that in the 1500/1600s when books were incredibly rare and valuable it was extremely common to write in the margins and that such writing is now usually treasured? Also it seems like you can buy the George Rey one for $5
