"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This past week, OpenAI dumped a staggering trove of answers to elusive math problems solved by its internal artificial intelligence models – the mathematics world isn’t happy about it. “What are they trying to achieve? I don’t know. They’re just destroying early-career mathematicians with a PR stunt,” says NYU math professor Tristan Buckmaster. Buckmaster and his collaborator Levent Alpöge had made significant progress on solving an historic math equation before OpenAI’s model beat them to it. They’ve “destroyed the whole incentive system for science and mathematics.”

...the contract says the material submitted to them won't be used to train other models - and he believes it...

This is what I just don't get, that people trust major companies when they claim to not analyze or use your data in any way they can once you have uploaded it to them.

It is a simple equation, how much does the actual breach of contract cost, how likely is it that we get sued and loose, and how much better will our models get by analyzing and training on everything?

Unless you can honestly say that a huge corporation like Microsoft/Google/Amazon would pay more to you and every other customer for missusing your data than they will earn by improving their models on all their customer's data, you can't use proprietary data in an LLM/AI.

I miss the old network shares, now it is all OneDrive and SharePoint, it sucks.
