Fascinating talk.

According to the U.S. copyright office and Library of Congress, copyrighted works require a ‘human’ element: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/LSB10922

If art generated by AI can not be copyrighted, it may well extend to AI-generated code. If so, the implications could be pretty far-reaching.

The one, practical use-case of AI that has found ‘product market fit’ so far has been using AI for coding. Companies are encouraging it. Developers (including experienced ones) are starting to use more of it. But if it turns out none of the generated output can be copyrighted, then you lose all the commercial users who are the revenue sources for all these tools and companies.

This talk feels like it’s touching on a pretty important topic.

We are being gaslit. From the article:

Recommended setup: 4x NVIDIA HGX H100, 4x NVIDIA HGX H200, or 2x NVIDIA DGX B200 for optimal performance.

No big. Your typical homelab setup. 🙄

Pepsi commercial on side of plane? Who is the target audience? Air traffic controllers and ground crew?

Getting businesspeople from SFO/OAK to Marin 30m faster just seems frivolous. Any eVTOL can justify its existence by slapping an ambulance label on its side. Picture of smiling grandma, or child organ recipient.

Wrote a satirical column in the Uni school paper making fun of a department. Chair of department took umbrage. They gave me a bad grade in a class I needed to graduate, forcing me to retake the class.

Worth it.

At this point, these small models should add explicit minimum hardware requirements just so they can stand out. STM32 w xxGB of PSRAM. Android phone w this much RAM, how many TOPS, and minimum OS version. ESP32-S3 or S4? That sort of thing.

If you just say ‘small,’ you get lost in the noise.

So close.

Was looking at a used car online. Found a site that had option to ‘reserve’ the car until paperwork was done. Started innocuously with email and phone info, to text updates. Fine. Then it asked to verify info, with scans of driver’s license.

Noped right out.
