Have the other researchers opted out? On all their accounts? Through the entire time? And did they discuss this with anyone else? And did those people ask ChatGPT stuff? And did they disable it? If I was OpenAI, I would be very careful abou

But why is this news? This is clearly described in their ToS and in the Settings to improve their models.

I think this drama was blown up a bit out of proportion. The entire discourse I am seeing online seems to revolve around this: > While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped i

I want the right to not be identified. I also want the right to SELF identify . I think the toxic culture of the internet has happened in part because anonymity leads to lack of accountability. I want to self identify and interact with oth

Querying a CLI is also querying an API. I never said API endpoint. An API can be a Java Interface, a CLI, an endpoint etc.

No, what I am saying simply does not exist yet. I am saying I want my OS to expose APIs like it does for the disk or the network for AI. And I want my apps to be able to use those APIs. I want my backend LLMs to be able to change on a whim.

We need LLM query routing at the OS level like Mobile data. I know it will sound crazy but hear me out. I think about this AI inference as infrastructure. I do not want to pay for it on every app I use it on. I do not think "I have to

I want to add that Obscurity is ambiguous. Is changing the port of SSH "obscurity"? Some may say yes, because you could find it by bruteforce. But a password with infinite attempts can also be bruteforced. Here, the defining facto

I haven't had time to see the whole thing yet, but I'm quite surprised this yielded good results. If this works I would have expected CPU implementations to do some optimization around this by default given the memory latency bott

Not only would be cool for laws to have appropiate time stamps so we can "go back in time to how it was at a certain moment", but also if we could have proper git commit diffs of how laws change over time. See this: https:/&

While this is great, I expected faster CPython to eventually culminate into what YJIT for Ruby is. I'm not sure the current approaches they are trying will get the ecosystem there.

I think the direction we are going, the GPL is going to fade away. I think people will look at this like writing a book and claiming the ideas in the book cannot be copied. This debate is not that different from the ones going on in the mus

Reminder that OpenAI serves a lot of customers for free, most of the people I know use the free tier. There is a big limit on thinking queries on free tier, so a decent non thinking model is probably a positive ROI for them.

Sorry... I speculated that 3 deep think is 3.1 pro.. model names are confusing..

I speculated that 3 pro was 3.1... I guess I was wrong. Super impressive numbers here. Good job Google.

by josalhor 7mo ago
I think this is 3.1 (3.0 Pro with the RL improv of 3.0 Flash). But they probably decided to market it as Deep Think because why not charge more for it.

On the one hand I look at some tech lifecycles and feel everything moves so slow (cars, energy and train infrastructure etc..). And then I look at other stuff and I cannot phantom that someone who was born 100 years ago saw a TV (or media e

I found this video on battery chemistry very interesting. Even if Donut claims about the batteries are not true, I still feel I learned quite a bit about batteries from this video. Of course, if they figured this out, a nobel of chemistry i

We do have tech that is "behind doors". Just look at military applications (nuclear, tank and jet design etc). Should "clonable voice and video" be behind close doors? Or should AGI be behind close doors? I think that th
