I wonder if there are plans to licence the content for AI training

It's been available all along: https://info.arxiv.org/help/bulk_data.html

Id guess OAI & co have already copied without asking?

No need to ask - the whole point is open access. https://info.arxiv.org/help/bulk_data.html

ITS A TRAP! If your app is successful their infrastructure will see all the traffic, your responses and will be able to mimic what you do and kick the husk of your app in the weeds. (Unless your function comes from some massive unique dataset they can’t by access to.)

How would they mimic zillow or canva??

Does not work so great on mobile. Site content just scales down to a small unreadable text.

Most of your uses will visit on mobile

Thank you. Yes, agreed. Canva is still restricted with the mobile resize feature so will have to explore a workaround..

I’ve seen airline training videos about in flight battery fires. But I’ve never considered the risk of ear buds catching on fire. Normally, you should feel them heating up before they catch but they might just blow, that would be very sore. Also if you’re sleeping with buds in you could end up with a fire before you woke up.

Pro Tip: see who is short selling

From the privacy page of the app developer

“ In addition, according to relevant laws, regulations and national standards, we may share, transfer, and publicly disclose personal information without your prior authorization and consent in the following situations:

Those directly related to national security and national defense security; Directly related to public safety, public health, and major public interests; Those directly related to criminal investigation, prosecution, trial and execution of judgments; In order to protect the life and property of the personal information subject or other individuals, but it is difficult to obtain the consent of the individual; Personal information subjects disclose personal information to the public on their own; Collect personal information from legally publicly disclosed information, such as legal news reports, government information disclosure and other channels.”

Under Chinese law everything is national security if the state asks for it.

The last sentence looks like they give themselves permission to collect as much information about there users as possible

In any case I can’t see any way they are compliant with GDPR.

The issue that many schools face is that companies complain the grads - even with PhDs - are not able to do anything useful in the workplace. When my wife did her PhD more than 10 years ago (in the UK) she was required to take a stack of ungraded workshops under the label “professionalizing the PhD” it was totally annoying waste of time for her. The stuff was “basics of Excel”, “Research poster making”, “ intro to Adobe suite”, etc this was done because the university had received feedback that PhD grads could literally do nothing useful when hired.

From the article. “About 60% of the grades handed out in classes for the university’s undergraduate program are A’s, up from 40% a decade ago and less than a quarter 20 years ago, according to a report released Monday by Harvard’s Office of Undergraduate Education”

Harvard is currently under a lot of pressure from donors , courts ( loss of case on admissions), and political pressure from US administration.

Awarding 60% A’s does not help them make the case that they know what they are doing and should just be allowed to carry on.

Kinda interesting- of course until it hacked. But honestly it does not look like something I would want to carry around.

That was a very interesting discussion. I had seen last week a magnet fail to stick to a stainless camping cup and was puzzled. I have worked in metal forming in the past but did not do a lot with stainless. So really interesting
