Simon's Life Updates

So it did. Now that’s weird.

I think there are certain words on this community forum that result in a post being automatically hidden.

I think JK Rowling is one

If you want to see a really wild ride check out the humane discord. Its basically people asking about the 30 day return policy, complaining about it, an interesting thread about their privacy policy giving them the IP rights of everything inputted into the device (including emails, photos it takes etc).

I won’t post a link, don’t want to get flagged, ya’ll have to google it :stuck_out_tongue:

If this is similar to cases I’ve seen in the past involving Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Twitter and X, then while there’s every chance that this may be another crazy AI rights grab, it sounds like it could also be a misreading of basic terms which amount to “We need to be allowed to do the bare minimum to make our service work”.

That is, if you don’t give the service permission to your words or media, then they wouldn’t be allowed to actually make the service work. Similar to how social media can’t distribute your words worldwide without you permitting them to do so, how would a LLM be allowed to process your request if you didn’t permit it to do so?

Obvious IANAL and I’ve not seen any of the discussions you’re referring to, so I’m just playing Devil’s Avocado here.

I’m almost curious to see what’ll happen there when they attempt to take someone to court over it.

Also, suggestion, I really enjoy hearing what @simonb had been up to, I also enjoy talking about AI hardware but personally struggling having the same conversation in two different threads.

Does one need to take it forward?

Hey gang :wave:

I spoke with @simonb already about starting a separate discussion about the rabbit r1 so you can all chat about your experience with it (if you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on one).

So feel free to start a topic and I can look to move some of the chat in here over to that discussion :smile:

I just thought there was enough interest for a more focused discussion on the r1 but if folks are happy to continue the chat over in the AI hardware thread so be it :+1:

The people have decided :hammer: (I need to add a gavel emoji)

“Lucky enough” - I think you mean “foolish enough”

So did Apple WWDC just kill Humane and Rabbit for good?

This has got to be one of the weirdest new AI products to launch?

Yeah, I thought it seemed very Black Mirror-esque. Creepy music etc, was only half sure if it was real or not.

Apparently he paid 1.8m for the domain… lol

Yes, of the 1.9M they raised they spent 1.8M on the domain friend.com, and later raised 2.5M more - but he did bet the entire company on a domain
