At this point, even if the labs wouldn’t actively pelican-max their models, isn’t the training corpus full of pelicans already? Funny to think how one models choice of adding a red scarf in one of Simon’s earlier experiments might have led to an archetype of pelicans riding bicycles…
Not just pelicans, but pelicans with commentary about how good they are. simonw accidentally created the world's least efficient hill climbing algorithm.
I bet if he started critiquing pelicans with red scarves, they'd go away.
When I saw it was called "Muse headband", I immediately thought it was a Meta thing. Surely, it's just a matter of time until Meta knocks on their door. Especially if they're getting into the AI category with their supposed 'wellness devices'.
Yeah, more of an issue for Meta. Generally big companies choose a name they like, and sort out the trademarks later. See: iOS / Cisco.
If you’ve been using a name earlier, ideally with a trademark but even without a trademark, and a big company also uses it after you; it’s generally their problem, not yours, and you can expect a wad of cash.
I do not at all like how they changed most posting dates to just say "over a year ago". When looking up solutions to code issues, the date of the answer often matters a great deal.
I think they reversed this change, because I wanted to complain and agree with you , but decided to see how bad it was and found out that the site displays dates as it used to before
Oh that's a new change then, thanks for pointing it out. It was only last week I was annoyed at how it was hiding that the answers were from 2013-2014. I wonder if they've suddenly got someone there with a bit more sense?
