I don’t think this is for _hard_ things but rather for repetitive tasks, or tasks where a human would bring no value. I’ve used Claude for Chrome to search for stays in Airbnb for example; something that is not hard but takes a lot of time to do by hand when you have some precise requirements.

Do I have to publish my book for free because I got inspiration from 100's of other books I read during my life?

Humans are punished for plagiarism all the time. Myriad examples exist of students being disenrolled from college, professionals being fired, and personal reputations tarnished forever.

When a LLM is trained on copyright works and regurgitates these works verbatim without consent or compensation, and then sells the result for profit, there is currently no negative impact for the company selling the LLM service.

false equivalence because machines are not human beings

a lossy compression algorithm is not "inspired" when it is fed copyrighted input

> lossy compression algorithm is not "inspired" when it is fed copyrighted input

That's exactly what happens when you read. Copyrighted input fed straight into your brain, a lossy storage and processing machine.

I think it’s a pretty easy principle that machines are not people and people learning should be treated differently than machines learning

You see this principle in privacy laws too.

I can be in a room looking at something with my eyeballs and listening with my ears perfectly legally... But it would not be legal if I replaced myself with a humanoid mannequin with a video camera for a head.

You can even write down what you are looking at and listening to, although in some cases, dissemination of, e.g. verbatim copies in your writing could be considered copying.

But it is automatically copying if you use a copier.

Following your analogy, parrots should be considered human.

Issue to me is that I or someone else bought those books. Or in case of local libraries the authors got money for my borrowing copy.

And I can not copy paste myself to discuss with thousands or millions of users at time.

To me clear solution is to make some large payment to each author of material used in traing per training of model say 10k to 100k range.

If your book reproduces something 95% verbatim, you won't even be able to publish it.

Exactly. We assess plagiarism by checking the output (the book), not the input (how many book I’ve read before). It’s not an issue to train LLM on copyrighted resources if their output is randomized enough.

If you are plagiarizing, “for free” doesn’t even save you.

Where did you see angriness in this thread?

You might not know it is a problem and that it is solvable.

Yes but the amount of that happening is nowhere near enough to justify the ad-world we are living in.

Why would I care then? If people lived until now without it it can't be that big of a problem. Electricity, a car, a fridge, &c. solve legitimate problems. 99% of things being advertised today create the problem they solve and trick you into thinking you really need to solve this problem in your life

> If people lived until now without it it can't be that big of a problem

That’s a very weak argument that can justify anything. Why do you need electricity, a car, a fridge? There have been people living without these for thousands of years. Of course there are bad ads and useless products (probably 99% of them), but not all ads are useless.

Generally the idea of the game, then the domain name, then the game.

Ask it to design something that don’t exist maybe. Asking it to design something that already exists is useless.

It’s not hardcoded; self-hosted version call their server to ask what is the limit, which is 10k if you don’t pay or unlimited if you do. There is absolutely no performance problem with >10k messages.

Well, it was this at the beginning. Now it’s an open-core competitor to Slack, with higher pricing(!) but you can use the free version that has fewer features.

it also has no maintenance; the last commit is from May 2024.

There are newer release branches. They just have gitlab set to show an unmaintained branch by default.
