  I have no pity for toxic companies that fought tooth and nail against EV development. The tactic works because it’s taking advantage of a broken system.

  WASHINGTON, Sept 17 (Reuters) - OpenAI on Thursday released a legal industry-focused version of its latest AI technology, GPT-6 Astra, that it said is designed to help law firms and legal software providers conduct ‌research, draft advice and build custom applications for lawyers. The launch of Astra for Law marks the latest push by the top AI labs into the legal market, where technology companies are racing to capture business from law firms and legal departments. Sign up here. Google last month expanded its Gemini ⁠Enterprise offerings for legal professionals, and Anthropic since January has released tools for lawyers using its Claude AI assistant. OpenAI said its new product combines its Astra model with an index of US case law, statutes, regulations and other legal materials, along with specialized instructions for legal analysis and writing. The company said legal AI vendors including Harvey and Legora will be able to build products on Astra for Law, and the platform will include ‌integrations ⁠with software providers such as Relativity, Clio, Intapp and Thomson Reuters. OpenAI said “selected” law firms will gain access to ⁠its product initially through a special program that includes protections for confidential client work. The company said it has worked with firms including Sullivan & ⁠Cromwell, Ropes & Gray, Cooley, Latham & Watkins and Wachtell Lipton on testing and developing legal AI applications.

• I’m out of the loop and can’t find much info? What joint ventures are notable? I don’t really consider Volkswagen or Mercedes as the good guys in any story.

  Volkswagen sabotaged their emissions test and both are firmly in the “affordable EVs are an impossible task! oh woops, China is doing it? Can we ban them? No? Oh okay, I guess I’ll try” camp. Most car manufacturers are oil industry branches.

• I’d actually love some documentation because it is indeed very complicated.

  I’m also curious about your opinion on which way they will swing, since I see the courts kind of sticking to the middle more than anything.

  The Zarya case seems pretty clear. From an article though:

  The agency wrote that, unlike a photographer, users of Midjourney do not have the same degree of control over the final images. Photographers can control many parts of their photographs — the framing, the lighting, the subject, the presentation of the subject, the exposure time, the depth of field, etc — even though the camera ultimately captures the image.

  By and large, Sota models do give that kind of control nowadays, so I don’t know if that would change things.

  I feel like it’s going to end up as a case by case basis, where it depends on the feeling of effort put into it more than anything else.

• work wholly generated by AI

  Wholly

  The push for protection of works created by AI has been spearheaded by Thaler, chief executive of neural network firm Imagination Engines. In 2018, he listed an AI system, the Creativity Machine, as the sole creator of an artwork called A Recent Entrance to Paradise

  Further down:

  So, it seems likely to me that this is where we will wind up: work wholly written by an LLM (the spirits or macaque in the above cases) will not be eligible for copyright; instead, the applicant will have to show sufficient creativity in the prompts (the questions in the Urantia case) and in editing and compiling the output.

  It’s like you googled it and copy pasted the link without reading it.

  You can copyright something the moment you modify it or use it in something else. The law is more about how AI can’t hold onto copyrights. It’s to protect us from OpenAI saying they own everything you generate with their model. It stop copyright mills from running gens 24/7 and copyrighting every possible way to write a simple function.

  They could have built these next to the massive amount of wind turbines that were supposed to go up. The consumption was off the charts way before AI and they sabotaged every other option since then.

He was an engineer so he uses his knowledge to do things like create cement. They keep it realistic in a fantasy setting, so they use magic to heat it up to the right temperature and all that.

• I don’t think the copyright thing is an issue.

  Climate wise, it’s only an issue because of a corrupt administration, it’s not a death blow to it. It’s at the heart of it overblown by a reasonable measure imo.

• Sorry, I don’t bootlick the copyright machine. Anyone with half a brain can see it’s transformative. I don’t get why collage is fine but AI isn’t, it’s just copyright mega corps and data brokers that smell blood in the water. All the data isn’t even owned by the artist, you are fighting for universal records, not your local guitarist.

  For the climate aspect, it’s mostly grid issues and corruption. It’s laughable to blame AI when we have president pedo prostrating himself in front of oil companies and destroying renewable projects. We need regulations and all that on where they can be placed and how they get powered, but in the end, it’s just software. I could use AI 8 hours a day for my whole life and I still wouldn’t be close to the damage one ticket to Europe does. It’s a scape goat being served by a corrupt pro oil lobby.

  Don’t get me wrong, I know what datacenters entail with the amount of people they serve, but if you look at it at an individual level, it’s a drop in the bucket, or it would be if they weren’t using plane turbines. We need regulations to curb the stupidity, but it’s doesn’t make it all inherently bad.

• The fact that it isn’t perfect is the grey. And sure, it has a lot of problems but not only is it still useful anyways, but those problems are being ironed out. They probably won’t disappear completely but the tech is already miles further than what we had 2 years ago.

  To make you understand what I mean by black and white, you have a user that put “AI is evil” in big bold letters in the comments. The hate is almost cult like for part of the population, and imo, it’s mostly because the media tells them to be mad.

  Most of it depends on the task in any case. I don’t work with massive code bases and it doesn’t take long reading through a few scripts, running it and checking the output. The people I know that do work with huge code bases are using it as well, but I can’t really talk for them either. They don’t hate it tho.

• On the afternoon of August 20, I visited the website of a shadowy group called Neighbors for Strong Communities. Days earlier, it had begun spamming Californians’ phones with a bullying warning: Paramount might leave the state, taking thousands of jobs with it, unless Attorney General Rob Bonta settled the lawsuit he and 11 other AGs filed to block the studio’s takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. The site offered to help me write to Mr. Bonta. It also suggested that I describe a time when I or someone close to me had lost a job or struggled to make ends meet.

  I typed 14 words: “Thank you AG Bonta for working to BLOCK THE MERGER and save media jobs.” I took a screenshot. The site stated it was “using what you shared to prepare a personalized message” to Attorney General Bonta.

  Moments later, a draft appeared in my email account, signed with my name, email address, and ZIP code. “I remember a time when finding consistent work felt impossible,” the draft said, “and the worry that came with it was terrible.” It ended with: “I urge you to protect California jobs and drop your opposition to the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger.”

• The output of the training, the model (LLM) itself, is transformative. I’m not talking about the output of the llm nor was the person I was responding to.

  The pirating issue has nothing to do with the current lawsuit (the New York Times one mentioned in the article) nor did the government mention it in the current context.

  That being said, I’m a pirate in my personal life, and I also think it’s kind of a necessary evil when it comes to building SOTA models. I wish we had a copy left solution to it, so you can use pirated data but need to open source it, so open source has a fighting chance and big AI can buy it if they want it. I’m okay with openAI and anthropic getting brought into court about it I guess, but the legislation ends up being market capture in their favor in the end.

  I understand the issues though, very “rule for thee but not for me” currently.

• None of what you said is wrong but I think it’s a bit simplistic to compare it to a resolution jump or to bring up Indy graphics vs AAAA as a sign that nobody cares anymore.

  Before it becomes an issue, yes I think tariffs are dumb. Its just silly to assume these guys are the only ones doing ethical gameboy gimmick toys and that’s why it’s overpriced.
