Wow, great idea well executed, congrats


Like the valiant Sir Mix-a-lot before him, he can not lie

I think there is a remix that could be made with both of them.... Would sell.

It is at the very least an anti-pattern in the same way hiring an assistant to do the work for you is an anti-pattern

I agree, moving into management is definitely an anti-pattern.

If I was openAI or whatever I would be investing in circular partnerships with claude or whatever, claim agentic use should be considered the same as real users, then have each other's LLM systems use each other and finally achieve infinite, uncapped user growth

That could be argued to be a fraudulent approach to juicing metrics.

I wasn't suggesting lying about it

And the current norm that the trillion dollar companies have lobbied for is that you can train on copyrighted material all you want so that's the reality we are living in. Everything ever published is all theirs.

What "lobbied"? Copyright law hasn't materially changed since AI got popular, so I'm not sure where these lobbying efforts are showing up in. If anything the companies that have lobbied hard in the past (eg. media companies) are opposed to the current status quo, which seems to favor AI companies.


I am really surprised that media businesses, which are extremely influential around the world, have not pushed back against this more. I wonder whether they are looking at cost savings that will get from the technology as a worthwhile trade-off.

They're busy trying to profit from it rushing to enter into licensing agreements with the LLM vendors.

Yeah, the short term win is to enter a licensing agreement so you get some cash for a couple years, meanwhile pray someone else with more money fights the legal battle to try and set a precedent for you

Several media companies have sued OpenAI already. So far, none have been successful.

In practice it wouldn't matter a whit if they lobbied for it or not.

Lobbying is for people trying to stop them; externalities are for the little people.


All theirs, if they properly obtained the copy.

This is a big difference that already has bit them.


ugh but that requires like, effort

Then put that in a garage at least 50ft away from your home

Next, fully encase the garage in concrete. Surround it with a ring of jagged concentric spikes and skull symbols to warn future archaeologists.

Having sensitive information is kind of inherent to the way the training slurps up all the data these companies can find. The people who run chatgpt don't want to dox people but also don't want to filter its inputs. They don't want it to tell you how to kill yourself painlessly but they want it to know what the symptoms of various overdoses are.

> Pipedream is a platform for building AI agents

It is? Last I used it, it was a serverless event-driven pipeline platform


well, see, you can send an event to an LLM and it can send an event back so it's an AI company now. I am an AI company, now, too.

Last I used it, it was a plumbing game.

I’m pretty sure that’s just the obligatory reskin to ride the ai wave

Sorry but source-available is probably going to get slurped up for training data as well

Microsoft already did this for all code in every public repo.


When are they going to start doing it for private repos too...


I wuldn't discount it already happening. They do own the most popular code hosing repository, after all.
