the legal system is presently committed to treating similar numbers radically differently. No one can tell, simply by looking at a number that is 100 million digits long, whether that number is subject to patent, copyright, or trade secret protection, or indeed whether it is “owned” by anyone at all

If you look at data in the way that best obscures what it actually means, of course it can't be told apart from other data. Binary is simply a way to encode information that most often has an analogue equivalent. You can of course question the copyright of all works, but looking at them in a hex editor is almost a distraction.

Certainly, all around the world, legal systems have assumed that bits are a medium. But perhaps bits have no color. Perhaps homomorphic encryption implies that color is unmeasurable.

This is getting pretty close to technolibertarianism. Corbin, I like your posts but i can't get behind this

I've never heard of a function being called entire out of complex analysis. But still, it is zero at i.

One of my favourite musicians, Patricia Taxxon is quite vocal on being against intellectual property, but also that AI people should just be able to scrape everything and put it in their machine. It makes me sad.

Just here to note that @dgerard had a clippy pfp before it was cool

A very big problem with this study is that participants that don't delegate are not asked to do anything regarding cheating, while the ones that do are presented with various choices that influence them. "choosing a setting on a dial that ranged from ‘maximize accuracy’ to ‘maximize profit’". In this way, it doesn't "control" for anything.

One of the authors is from the Center for Adaptive Rationality, obviously making a reference to the lesswrong CFAR.

I know I'm commenting on an old post but i just saw an AI modified version of this image. Didn't even realize at first, but text was cut off, punctuation was bad and the biggest tell was the slot machine picture. Why would someone do that?

I remember being disappointed how much latency there was when streaming with ffmpeg to my phone with some codecs. This sounds great!
