How do I write in a sophisticated manner (though not convoluted)? — Hall Livingston 53 secs ago

@F1Krazy I wasn't detailed enough, and perhaps one explanation can't cover all SEs. Here is a real Writing.SE question. "How do I write in a sophisticated manner (though not convoluted)?" Suppose the questioner has a plan, "Paraphrase sophisticated stories", and wants a critique of their plan. Would it be appropriate for the questioner to ask the question and then provide an answer, "Paraphrase sophisticated stories"? — Hall Livingston 30 secs ago

On the compensation: does anyone else interpret the press release as "OAI get SO's data in exchange for SO agreeing to beta test OAI features"? Doesn't really seem like a balanced trade. — AShelly 48 secs ago

@Catija I read this as "Indeed sucks" -- here's how a platform that does not suck should work. So if Stack is moving to Indeed, it should still allow Stack-like manipulation of the data. Then it will suck less than Indeed. The last paragraph is the key. — mdfst13 36 secs ago

The instructions regarding what to do to make the post on-topic that appear in the close-banner seem clear-enough to myself. If you need further clarification, then I suggest you post a query on the per-site meta: maths meta. Please be aware that there is a sandbox you can post in "for long and complex posts": maths sandbox. They will help you refine the post as needed. — W.O. 37 secs ago

Please also remember that according to section 6 of the CC-BY-SA license, any breach of the license not cured within 30 days of you being informed of it will terminate the license. This would render displaying affected contributions on any of your sites and using your AI illegal, with or without attribution. I promise to that I will do everything in my power to see my copyright upheld and I urge all users to do the same. This kind of willful ignorance of copyright on part of SE should not be tolerated. — Kryomaani 33 secs ago

@AykhanHagverdili if they do not attribute each an every user whose contributions are used, they are in direct breach of the CC-BY-SA under which all contributed content has been licensed. It seems quite clear from how unrealistic fulfilling this is that SE is acting in bad faith and not intent on upholding the license in the first place. — Kryomaani 11 secs ago

LLMs are pretty much the same as a lossy compression algorithm combined with a compiler, so the output naturally is a mechanically combined derivative of the input. This means all licences on all of the input must be honoured, which means they’d have to open up all the “training data” if they include copylefted works in them. — mirabilos 58 secs ago

Remember what was done before: forced relicensing - comprising (alleged) breach of contract with the userbase - nothing to stop them doing it again irrespective of our wishes or concerns. @Kryomaani — W.O. 50 secs ago

@mirabilos I'm more concerned with the situation where the trained model itself is ruled to be a derivative work. — bta 45 secs ago

@W.O. well, that is sadly true, but it doesn't mean we should go down without a fight. The only logical course of action is to 1) Stop contributing and 2) Issue DMCA or other suitable process of copyright notice any time SE breaches the license of your contributions. I've already done 1 and will be doing 2 if this move goes through as advertised. — Kryomaani 20 secs ago

@Piper what settings? what do they do? who are they surfaced to for changing? — super-starball-ultra 53 secs ago

Oh, how the tables have turned. — galacticninja 11 secs ago

it is, of course; just because you can lossily JPEG-compress a picture doesn’t make the JPEG file not a derived work of the original picture, and you can decompress it and get a substantially similar result back, which people have proven for LLMs as well (by now, really substantial amounts of “training data”) — mirabilos 56 secs ago

Well that's the other side of things - SE's acting as an upstream for other AI properties, and the threat there is what they do if that source of revenue dries up. — Journeyman Geek just now

Why wouldn't it be an acceptable username? How is it profane or otherwise violating the Code of Conduct? Even if you drop "fsck" into Google, you get fsck (file system consistency check) on Wikipedia as the first result, and nothing that looks inappropriate in at least the first dozens of results. What actually prompted you to think that it might be a problem? — Makyen 14 secs ago

Even if you drop "fsck" into Google, you get fsck (file system consistency check) on Wikipedia as the first result, and nothing that looks inappropriate in at least the first couple/few dozen results.

@Makyen I imagine they might think it would be a problem because it is one letter off from a problematic word. I don't agree with that idea though. — Daedalus 49 secs ago

You can read what is on topic here, to start. — Daedalus 27 secs ago

It is, of course, possible that someone tries to use any text as a stand-in for a problematic four letter word. If it is inappropriate would depend on the surrounding circumstances. If we are going to say that it's a problem just because there's one character difference, then we need to ban "buck", "duck", "luck", "muck", etc. Now, that doesn't mean that all sequences of four characters which are a single letter off from that word are OK, as there are some that are very clearly intended as profane/inappropriate, and others that are clearly intended that way based on usage. — Makyen 38 secs ago

I don't have comments either. Nor flags. — roundabout 49 secs ago
