It’s not technically an arrest. In a high-stakes call, the police will typically detain everybody until they can figure out what’s going on. That means potential victims as well as potential attackers. It’s a safety measure.

Moved to pixel from HTC for the fast software updates. My next phone will likely be a pine phone or something similar; build quality on my last two pixels hasn’t exactly been up to snuff.

If you bow without rhythm you won’t attract the worm.

Not really, but since I’m not going to find any solutions here and people have it worse, I’ll leave it at that.

The least amount? 20k US would halve my credit card debt and give me a leg up on getting the rest paid off. 40k would give me a jump start on finally rebuilding. Given I’m in my 50s though and with the state of the world, I’m likely to be making credit card payments until the day I die.

And you’re an inflexible, unfeeling waste of cells. I hope for your sake you never have to deal with chronic health issues. Somehow, I don’t think you’ll be able to handle it.

How about this - your position is that a chemical burn from concrete cannot reach third degree? That it doesn’t happen fast enough to cause that damage?

Let me use your vernacular.

Bullshit. (Warning: NSFW)

If you have a coherent rebuttal, I’m happy to listen. If not, Johns Hopkins has a good page on the subject.

The “degree” is based on the amount of damage done to flesh, bone, and skin. Each type of burn has different criteria, so yes, a third degree chemical burn will be different from a third degree flame burn, which will in turn be different than a third degree steam burn.

The United States is a first world country, and the parent comment applies here as well.

Couple of things here - what do you do with the open source models already published? There’s terabytes of data encapsulated in those. Some have published corpora, some don’t. How do you plan to determine that a work comes from an unregistered AI?

Also, with respect to “within the country” - VPNs exist. TOR exists. SD cards exist. What’s your plan to control the flow of trained models without violating civil rights?

This is a teflon slope covered in oil. (IMO)

I agree that under the current system of “idea ownership” someone needs to be held responsible, but in my opinion it’s ultimately a futile action. The moment that arbitrary individuals are allowed to download these models and use them independently (HuggingFace, et al), all control of whatever is in the model is lost. Shutting down Open AI or Anthropic doesn’t remove the models from people’s computers, and doesn’t eliminate the knowledge of how to train them.

I have a gut feeling this is going to change the face of copyright, and it’s going to be painful. We collectively weren’t ready.

Sure, but that particular horse has left the barn. There will be cases where identification is easy(-ier) but as shown in Oracle v Google, there are only so many ways to express ideas in code.

For example, I just asked Claude 2 “Write a program in C to count from 1 to some arbitrary number specified on the command line.” Can you tell me the origin of this line from the result?

for(int i=1; i<=n; i++) {

I mean, if it’s from a copyrighted work, I certainly don’t want to use it in an open-source project!

EDIT: Guessing there’s a bug in HTML entity handling.

IANALAIANYL. In the days before the internet, I had a family member who worked for an insurance company. Buried deep in the contract was language that allowed agents of said insurance company to come on the property at any time. Her job basically was to go to people’s houses and walk around taking photos, usually at policy start or in the case of a claim - before and after. If anybody harassed her, they were at risk of having their home insurance dropped. This was Miami in the 1980s fwiw.
