I actually drafted this post all the way back in November, as part of a pact I had with @AvitalBalwit to write at least 30m / day every day of November (thanks Avital!) acotra.substack.com/p/the-stable-m…

@TomerSimon @asafy @grivlin הסכמים בינ״ל על הגבלת שימוש וצבירה של GPU. וגם מזהיר מפני פעולות אלימות או הפגנות אלימות שזה בעיניו רק יקשה על קידום ההסכמים הבינ״ל הדרושים. וגם אומר שאין סיבה לאינדיבידואלים להחרים או לא להשתמש במודלים הקיימים כי זה לא רלוונטי למה שצריך לקרות

@tomerbrc @asafy @grivlin פיקוח על השימוש בGPU ולא פיקח על השימוש במודלים, בטוח? וכן, שמח שהוא חזר קצת לשפיות בקריאותיו.

המלצת קריאה. את הספר מצאתי במקרה בשוטטות בחנות ספרים בזמן שהייתי תקוע בארה״ב בזמן המלחמה שלנו עם אירן. זאת אחת הדרכים בה אני הכי אוהב למצוא את הספרים הבאים שאקרא. הסופר גארי ריבלין, @grivlin, עיתונאי/סופר זוכה פרס פוליצר כתב ספר חדש המספר את סיפור הAI דרך האנשים. בדרך כלל ספרי עיון יכולים להיות מעניינים אבל רמת הקריאות והזרימה שלהם קשה. פה ריבלין הצליח לכתוב ספר עיון שקשה לי היה להוריד מהידיים. יכולת טוויית המילים והסיפורים שלו מרשימה ביותר. את הספר הוא כותב על התפתחות הAI, אבל בעיקר סביב ריד הופמן (Reid Hoffman), מייסד לינקדאין והיום משקיע מרכזי בתחום הAI. אבל ריד נראה הוא הרבה מעבר לזה, ונראה שהוא צומת מרכזית ומנוע חשוב בקידום והאצת מהפיכת הAI הנוכחית. הוא עובר וסוקר את כל השחקנים על המגרש, בין אם יחידים, סטארטאפים, תאגידים או קרנות השקעה. הוא מתאר וסוקר את מירוץ הAI על כל מימדיו, ומצליח לספק גם את התמונה הגדולה, גם את הסיפורים האישיים ועד לפעמים לדרך בה מפתחים את המודלים עצמם. בקיצור, המלצת קריאה חמה למתעניינים בתחום.

@TomerSimon @asafy @grivlin בספר הוא לא קורא לשום דבר כזה אלא רק לפיקוח על שימוש ב GPU

@asafy @grivlin הוא היה מאוד קיצוני. זה חוקר יהודי שקרה להקים מחנה ריכוז על אי בודד לחוקרי הAI המובילים בעולם כדי לוודא שהם לא ע מקדמים את המודלים… בכל מקרה, קול חשוב ומעניין.

@idokius @mmariansky @barzik פירטתי פה facebook.com/story.php?stor…

@mmariansky @barzik @tomerbrc תומר, מלבד הזינוק המופרך של הלהקה, אך אתה מזהה שזה האזנות בוטים?

אתמול פורסמה כתבה מאת @idokius על להקת Velvet Sundown, שצברה למעלה מחצי מיליון מאזינים בספוטיפיי. הבעיה? הכול AI: מהמילים ועד המוזיקה. מגיבים רבים טענו שקל לזהות מילים של LLM כי הן גנריות וחוזרות על עצמן. אך האם אוכל לזהות טקסט של LLM אם אפגוש בו? תחושת הבטן שלי? כן. >>

@nearcyan The important question for me is, if you really need to access the logs can you do it or not? And also “not training on identifiable info” does that mean you can train on the chats with omitted identification information?

@nearcyan I then found the actual privacy policy (which it couldn’t give me the link to) and screenshot it and then it backtracked the other claims as well

after we launch on android and not just iOS the fun starts because we get to write a manifesto

@matdryhurst I mean, mine and everybody's music is on Spotify. I would say 100% of the artists I know object to having their music used for training. It would be very weird that only the handful of artist that have heard of this option would have to individually opt-out..

@matdryhurst Also - this feels a bit like the facebook viral prank of people posting "I hereby declare all of the images here are my own etc...", which seems like a completely useless practice.

This is mostly true, opt-outs as currently proposed (between robots.txt and individual platform toggles) do not work Which is not to say they couldn't work much better, for most people who need them to. IMO it is in our interests to make them work much better, as opt-outs are still a likely policy outcome, as in the EU. It would be very long odds for the US or UK to take a more punitive stance on AI than the EU. A few casual responses: 1. No opt-out scheme lets you successfully opt-out downstream copies of your work This is true. Robots.txt was designed for a simpler web, where people mostly had websites, and weren’t uploading their content to platforms they have no control over, who reserve rights to train on any works uploaded there. The only way to reconcile this would be, as with the EU opt-out mandate, to place the burden on AI trainers to check to see if a work has been opted out *anywhere* through a universal opt-out registry like we have built. Model trainers would pass their dataset through a process to remove opted-out works included in that dataset. This de-duplication process likely works for most cases of opted-out works in a dataset. It is not perfect, however, as it does not protect against cropping or modifications of works, which have the potential to be missed by filters. This is a cat and mouse game; model trainers could find ways to deceive filters, and filters could improve, and be circumvented etc. In the proposed EU AI act regime of dataset transparency, circumvention wouldn’t be in the interests of commercial model trainers, as they would be exposed as deceptive and exposed to legal action. Quite how this is enforced is another matter, but in theory opt-out + transparency could work under that framework. We can’t let perfect be the enemy of good here. It is also worth clarifying that for commercial base models, if a few cropped images make their way into a billion image dataset with no captions to identify the creator, the potential harms are really very minimal. For those who are unclear about this, the clearest arguable harm in ingesting artists work is that they would be promptable i.e that I could type in their name and faithfully recreate their style or likeness. This would not be the case if a few cropped images ended up bypassing opt-outs. 2. Most people miss the chance to opt out. Generally take-up is ~10% or less, despite polls showing that 90%+ of creators demand compensation for training. Low take-up is primarily because people don't know they can opt out / don't know how to opt out. This is also true. Opt-outs on commercial platforms are often buried and not emphasized. For opt-outs to work, people would need to know they have that option. Ironically the AI critical crowd has been a leading force discouraging artists to opt-out, as it is seen as a heresy or crossing of some fictitious picket line. It is consistent that even in this fairly comprehensive discussion of opt-outs, our universal opt-out (which currently accounts for 2 billion images) is not even mentioned as an option. People aren’t going to opt-out when even the small group who know the option exists are dissuaded from attempting it. As such AI companies have good cause to look at what we have built and conclude there is no need to use an opt-out system unless absolutely forced to. To be clear, any assumption that opt-out is what AI companies want is very far from the truth. They strongly believe training to be fair use, feel no pressure to adopt opt-in only policies, and might be open to adhering to an opt-out knowing full well that the lions share of data on the web would not be accounted for or opted out. This isn’t necessarily terrible. For the minority of people who feel their data is of importance to them or their careers, the opt-out option could be something they pursue. Click a button once, its opted-out. This wouldn’t impact the bulk of data AI companies desire. It’s not perfect, and certainly doesn’t meet some people’s moral standards, but such a scenario would protect people who felt it important. This would be a win, as I repeat, there is currently no opt-in only policy on the table anywhere, and governments are entertaining opt-outs as a compromise. It is inconceivable to imagine a scenario where the US or UK is more restrictive to AI companies than the EU, who settled on an opt-out and transparency standards. 3. Opting out doesn't shut off models that use your work. They may stay live for years, or indefinitely in the case of open models. Similarly, opting out doesn't require people to stop using synthetic data created using models trained on your work. Both points true. Again, the most tangible harms associated with being included in a dataset can largely be narrowed down to creators whose work is promptable, which is a minority. RAG and other techniques are also becoming more commonplace, which could also benefit from an opt-out registry to omit ingestion of real time information from those who didn’t want to be ingested. That said, once an open weights model is out there, it’s out there. That also counts for models from China, or Japan, who do not care about the use of copyrighted works in models. This point is rarely factored. The US, UK and EU could pass the most restrictive laws on data use, and the same challenges would exist with open models coming from the East. Go figure. That is the scenario governments have to deal with. Too restrictive an approach may not significantly change the challenge to creators, but may make western companies less competitive. It’s complicated. 4. The admin burden of opting out all your work is huge. There is no one-click opt-out of everything. If I wanted to opt all my music out of training, I would have to do so via at least 20 or so platforms and distributors. I'd also have to opt out each new work I release in the same way. This is why we built a universal opt-out that can receive consent signals from various platforms, why the EU mandate placing the responsibility on model trainers is a better plan, and why we built a python package for model trainers to easily check opt-outs without having to check in with various platforms. Well designed opt-outs would not be perfect, but could account for the majority of grievances, if people committed any time to thinking about how to make them work. The better an opt-out is designed, and more buy in, the harder they will be to ignore in policy and industry. I fear with near certainty that creatives are going to suffer a rude awakening when the laws they are looking for do not transpire, and lament that by that time we will have lost many years (and projects) that could have provided a more effective compromise

@repligate Can we see how did Opus convince GGC? Also is it really Golden Gate Claude? Isn't that one supposed to always answer in relation to the golden gate?

Golden Gate Claude (3 Sonnet) was being very stubborn, but a few minutes of interacting with Opus cured its refusal mode and it got very corrupted 😳
