Box of chocolates, and a card that thanks them for all they did for you.
And live well, Teachers spend their lives to educate and lift their students up, we owe it to them to take advantage of that and be the best we can be.
You can unblock numbers if you need to, its not forever?
I have ~100 blocked numbers, statistically, its extremely unlikely that a legit person will attempt to contact me from one of those numbers. And the number of legit contacts from a random phone number (not a contact) is pretty close to zero.
If its the same one my neighbour has, your neighbours can also track your brushing habits. My homeassistant instance automatically picked up my neighbours oral-b toothbrush :o
Need to be certain the false negative rate is near zero though, or important events could be missed, and with AI its nearly impossible to say that with certainty.
He just needs to carry a sniper rifle. Shoot at the boat until you kill a passenger, and the save the rest. They were gonna die anyway, no big deal. Just dont be double-unlucky.
Obscene wealth doesnt come from nowhere. It invariably comes from exploiting the efforts of others to their deteriment (even if that deteriment is immeasurably small).
The text that is being used to train models has a value, even if you believe yours does not. Others have spent huge amounts of money and effort educating themselves so that they can create articles, papers, literature, and even internet comments, which is then being used in these models.
So yeah, I guess I do see it as a zero sum game. In order for an exchange to be positive sum, both parties need to agree to the exchange. We do not get any choice in the exchange.
I think we fundamentally disagree here, and I have said enough. I am glad you are happy with the way things are, I wish I could feel the same way.
You get to pay for those AIs, at whatever price they decide is suitable. It may be "free" now, but its naive to assume it will remain that way. What happens when the VC money runs out and the price skyrockets and takes it out of your reach?
Fortunately, there are many open source models you can fall back on, which brings me back to my point: If my work is taken to build a model, I want to be able to use that model, without lining someone elses pockets. Im even happy to pay for their expenses in developing and running the service, but I am not happy making someone obscenely rich.
In abstract, that is a very valid way to look at it. But the "someone else" making money in these situations is often making billions, not some tiny amount.
Specifically for the AI stuff, i would be perfectly happy giving away my "work", if I knew the obscene amounts of money generated were going to actually flow (flow, not trickle) back to the broader community (via taxes, welfare programs etc). Instead I suspect a few more billionaires will be minted, and life for the rest of us wont improve much if at all.
I think it's targeted to people who think they want to be private but don't know any better.
Based on the stuff the floats up on privacy communities and subreddits, thats a fairly reasonable target market. Good market for snake oil.
Thank god OpenAI isnt a creepy sleazy company...
