OpenAI signs BAAs for ChatGPT. I would guess a lot of therapists are using personal accounts in a noncompliant way, but AI use certainly can be compatible with HIPAA

> this new thing is going to make all our lives unimaginably easier AND that you need to rapidly acquire new skills to adapt to it or be left behind

This was the exact messaging around the computer and the internet. It’s not new or unique to AI.

Non-partisan AI supporter here

I see plenty of absurd science fiction claims about things that AI cannot do all the time

Sal Kahn's description of AI teaching assistants there feels doesn't feel unrealistic to me - I think you could build that with our 2025 era models

Yeah @simonwillison.net had a good post about this. I fear the battle has been lost though, these days people just say “vibe coding” for anything

All in all a very sane ruling
- training on a book is obviously fine
- pirating books to train on is obviously not fine

I mean no, when you asked for evidence I didn’t think I’d have to personally defend the methodology of a peer-reviewed paper, yet here we are (I mean the second one I shared, the first I admit was only pre-print)

Also, how they define hallucination isn't relevant to the results that support my original claim. In the experiment I care about, they just did pairwise comparisons of the summaries and asked humans which was better, and LLM summaries won more often.

> The problem being that extrinsic hallucinations are necessarily wrong, they're just not supported explicitly by the text.

If you look at the paper that originally defines "extrinsic hallucinations", this is not a "problem" but in fact part of the definition that they consider extensively.

I can't believe I'm having to say this, but Chinese grad students are humans

hey if twitter could be killed by being a garbage website it'd have died a hundred deaths by now, thats my bitter lesson

Good call, it was actually the “Button Shapes” setting

You said: “Roads are designed around specific speeds. The engineers designing the roads take into account a lot of different factors to set the speed limit on the roads. It's not just an arbitrary number pulled out of the ether.”

My argument is that engineers don’t set the limit for most highways

“Ah, I see you use a personal computer. But can you defend what Microsoft did with Windows Vista?”

So both sides can agree with what you’re saying, but they draw the lines in very different places

I think you’re right overall, and I think a major disagreement comes from what people think should require human connection. I get yelled on here for writing rote work emails using ChatGPT, but to me corporate communication has never been something that fostered human connection in the first place.
