“groyper free association” is one way to describe this

I'd also submit that even the paper itself is not a tech policy writeup. It's a machine learning research paper (we have page limits!), and the vast majority of authors are computer scientists. Appendix C barely begins to address the numerous pitfalls

Look at this classic definition (from arxiv.org/pdf/2202.07646). Note that in order to reproduce text from training data you already have to prompt the model with the beginning of the text. Is the elicited string long enough to be copyrightable? How long does your prompt have to be?

TODAY at 2:30 PM: @eleutherai.bsky.social is at #SXSW! What is open source AI and how are policymakers thinking about it in 2025? I'm on a panel joined by great lawyers from @databricks.bsky.social, Meta, and @mofollp.bsky.social

update on the trip to Paris
February 5, 2025 at 1:52 PM
Excited to share I’ll be in Paris Feb 5-13. Feb 6-7 I’m presenting a poster at the inaugural conference of the International Association for Safe and Ethical AI. Get in touch if you’d like to discuss open source & AI, or meet up at Rue Saint-Éleuthère (yes this is a real street).

trembling at the mere thought of this hypothetical future system with "capability tools" and a "domain corpus" all supporting a "digital human" (mere thought because I cannot stress enough they did not build it, they just vaguely theorized it)

oh it's much funnier

That's ChatBIT, for Aiwu+ it's literally just a theoretical system.
