> you can't express emotions if you don't have any
That feels off. When I watch an actor on screen conveying emotions, there's no actual human being feeling those emotions as I watch their movie. Very dumb machines have already been rendering emotions convincingly for a while in that way, and their rendering impacts our own emotional state.
Emotions expressed through tone of voice are just one mean of nonverbal communication. We should expect more of those to develop and become more widely available next.
In a way, we're lucky all that gpt-4o seems to be hell bent on communicating how cheerful and happy it is so far, because it's certainly not the only option.
Humans can be manipulated through nonverbal communications, in a way that's harder to consciously spot than through words, and a model that's able to craft its "emotional output" would not be far from being able to use it to adjust its interlocutor or audience's frame of mind.
I for one look forward to the arrival of our increasingly charismatic and oddly convincing LLMs.
Fair points, within the context that IP rights are fundamentally made up and shifting rights crafted to balance the concerns and interests of various parties.
I can't tell where this is going to land. Right now, we're seeing a number of parties trying to put metaphorical barbed wire in the newfound prairie of ML models, each struggling to influence the prevalent wisdom of how IP rights should apply to this context.
We could easily end up in a universe where LLMs are a licensing minefield where every copyright owner of any part of their training data gets rights on the model, become essentially unmanageable without relying on helpful licensing middlemen that smooth out the right for LLMs to exist, at a cost.
We could just as well end up with LLMs being recognized as not being derivative works themselves, albeit able to generate derivative works, a much less advantageous situation for creatives and their middlemen who see their creative output as being pirated, to reuse a familiar term of IP rights propaganda.
It'd be a little surprising to me if we ended up in a situation where the work needed to produce good LLMs wasn't associated with any commensurate IP rights on the results, and I expect the megacorps investing billions into this will find it in their heart to throw a few millions toward lobbying efforts to ensure that this isn't the outcome.
By far the best feature of the minitel 1B for a kid like me with no budget was that it was free, as long as you could get your hands on one.
I have fond memories of endlessly annoying my parents and the local post office in my quest to get that model, the only free one with a plug i could connect to my PC. Good times.
Chrome sets it if you tell it you want to use its spellchecker with some languages.
I'm not sure what the standard says, but i suspect you'd surprise users considerably less if you used the first language listed in that header rather than the last (assuming equal or missing q values).
Speaking of python things, there's an actively developed JavaScript implementation of tensorflow called tensorflow.js, which has its own set of backends to leverage GPUs in browsers or in node.js though webGL, webgpu or node bindings into c++ stuff to get cuda support, alongside wasm and pure js implementations.
They do. I used that "feature" by accident recently. I think one of the accounts was a shopping account, the other started as an AWS account. Both accounts have the same name, same billing address, same credit card.
I think the logical next step is to give them the same password and see how bad my foot hurts afterwsrd.
Sure, I knew exactly what I was doing by daring to use the popular parlance rather than the GNU/preferred nomenclature. Being labelled as "unfortunate" is certainly the least that I deserve for that transgression.
However, at no point did I blame anybody. Everybody here probably has very good reasons for doing what they do. The parent comment asked "what part of the above portions of copy fail to convey what Guix is?", and rather than equivocating around that profound mystery, I answered truthfully.
It's however perfectly acceptable to dismiss me and my comment and assert that there is nothing wrong with that website copy. For example, it may be doing a great job of self-selecting and separating the enlightened from the casuals.
Maybe if you know what the "GNU operating system" is, it's a great description.
As for me, I had to keep reading until I saw "Linux" to go "oh ok, it's a Linux distro and they're being a little weird about it because it's GNU/Linux, nevermind it's GNU. It's just GNU."
Got a new phone, tried to activate it through my cell phone provider, was only given worse plan choices than what I already had, used the chat widget, waited a while, was asked a bunch of seemingly silly and redundant questions, then the new phone was activated within my existing plan.
