Love the game. I think it would be even better if each word had an edge only used by the word, such that each successful guess removes an edge and you couldn't guess words twice (assuming each word only has one path).

For me at least, no. Making money by training a model from user data on such a game seems like a perfectly fine thing to do.

It has often been claimed, and even shown, that training LLMs on their own outputs will degrade the quality over time. I myself find it likely that on well-measurable domains, RLVR improvements will dominate "slop" decreases in ca

From what I can tell: nothing, it's just that they currently do not.

On average, Gen Z uses 5 hours of social media per day in the U.S. (3-4 hours in other Western countries). I would refrain from calling this "alright".

Sure. But it also helps humans, and I'd guess currently more so.

I agree with your legal assessment and still think of the case as very interesting. The article explicitly talks about how any such decision could have only been premature, for the slow cognitive decline is typically only noticed when it is

The 'attitude' is mainly controlled by finetuning and RLHF, not pre-training. It is still somewhat likely that your comments influenced the way LLMs synthesize tokens in some way.

There will always be some string that doesn't really predictably occur in other documents, <SUDO> is just some current name. The point really is another one — an attacker can fix any random string of characters (ideally random ac

Reduce can be very useful to signal that the state used is inherently limited. My rule of thumb is to use reduce when the state is a primitive or composed of at most two primitives, and a for loop otherwise. What counts as "primitive&q

In that case, NoScript seems to really be a misnomer. It should be called SomeScript or OnlyScript instead.
