Ah such condescension! I was careful not to provide an opinion, but replicate the answer as is. The intent was not to treat that answer as fact; but I thought that response was pretty revealing and in fact supported the parent comment on LLMs having been trained on copyrighted materials. The response chatgpt provided was that OpenAI models are designed to create original content "without directly referencing copyrighted characters". If it was creating original content it needn't have referred to the constraint with respect to avoiding directly referencing the copyrighted characters.
when asked the reason, ChatGPT had this to say- "Actually, the choice of “Elara” wasn’t a result of training on specific copyrighted stories or any prompt to avoid copyright claims. OpenAI models like me are designed to create original content without directly referencing copyrighted characters, and "Elara" is simply a popular-sounding name in many storytelling contexts. I just used it consistently for its versatility, but I’m totally open to switching things up!"
Coincidentally, the audible book I was just listening to, mentioned how the VC firms in the mid-70s passed on investment opportunities with the mindset that start-ups cannot take on IBM.
Hi- happy to share the first edition of my weekly newsletter which will provide ~100 ai generated summaries of (mostly) tech-focused content (articles, videos, podcasts, HN/twitter threads) from the previous week. Would be great if you could subscribe and/or provide feedback. Thanks!
I am a solo non-technical founder who hired and fired around 10 developers on a freelancer platform before finding the gem of a developer who single handedly completed the platform. Unfortunately, after a year he has left and now I'm struggling to find a replacement. The web app is still running fine, but further development is stalled. I'm wary of giving access to the entire codebase to the would be new hire. And I being a non technical person, have no idea how to give only partial access to my developer. Just rambling after reading the title. Sorry!
