her: "when are you going to compile the entirety of LLVM to WebAssembly?"
me: "yes."

@gsuberland fortunately I think they'll be ok, and your hopes may be fulfilled

I'm trying to get better at delivering "bad news" earlier.
If I'm not gonna make it to an event, or won't have time to finish a task, I don't wait until the last minute to communicate that — I let them know as soon as I know.
@GiddingsMJ@heidilifeldman@marcelias from what I've read, it's bc the majority thinks Percell requires every map should stick until the next election, and they can decide the long legal battles in front of them later
This is simply remaining consistent with bad maps that screwed people over and strengthening that precedent for future map screwing. Playing the long game
The dissenters don't want to play this game... because (my rare opinion, I know) the law is not about naked politics
when you're trying to dictionary-lawyer your way out of criticism over using a word that literally everyone knows carries a heap of pain and anguish along with it, you've fully lost me. good gravy what a boneheaded thing to do.
I really wish people wouldn't full on hate AI/ML when the tech isn't the problem. It's just that the economy, lack of proper labor rights, shareholdeism and capitalism in general make it scary; and the planet is on fire, meaning we have to be careful with what we expel into the atmosphere.
But if there were proper labor laws and something like UBI, and they were only running off green power, there just flat out wouldn't be any problem, and many opportunities to actually SOLVE those issues🤷
@anthropy while I think a lot of the hate is justified, I will always push back against my personal pet peeve
Anti-hype: where someone complains about it while describing it as a monolithic powerful technology -- aka very the framing of the boosters as the basis
Not buying into the framing at all is what I'm trying to do. It's math, science, hardware, and algorithms
How they're deployed, by who, to do what, are human problems at the center of the issue -- and require as many solutions
Hats off to the author, you don't see that kind of, uh, skillful rhetoric chicanery every day. Like "generative AI doesn't compete with artists because artists are not in the data market". 😬
@scy I feel like the block quote you picked is the weakest part of the entire @creativecommons article
I'm no fan of "AI", but also hate it when people fall for anti-hype
Taking the view of "AI" proponents to explain how dangerous it is -- rather than a view that realizes it's marketing BS and these systems shouldn't be treated the same in law
As someone who has watched copyright expand to absurdity, any precedent adding "running an algo" to copy rights would be terrible for everyone
@scy I think that is a pretty good "lay" description of models I've trained and tinkered with offline in various domains
The data doesn't contain any fragments. It's a hierarchy of probabilities
Shanon's limit proves there's no information storage *
A bit literary, but reasonable description of correlative self-convolution -- merely a different algo for how Amazon Recommends Products for You all the time
Except maybe very large text models, e.g. the GH Copilot lawsit I support
@scy the best way to see these pts in action is what I've done: make models that are "too small to be good" and see what patterns appear
Or to ask larger models for outputs whose inputs have low probabilities
Then you can see what I think of as the "probability cone" of each piece of input's correlation affecting the output -- creating random visual smudges or that text model exploit where repeating words makes it spew junk
Both are "leaving the correlation cone" and showing its contours
@scy they should be able to sue you into the ground exactly as hard as if you had watched every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, got drunk/high/whatever, and came up with a "totally original idea dude" on a napkin and then actually made it
And you should have the same defenses based on the specifics of the content iteslf
That's my position: copyright should be about output, not process
Someone hurt under the law -- financially or e.g. impersonation -- should fight that on its effects
