Last year the duo filed a lawsuit against GitHub, alleging its AI-assisted coding tool built on stolen coders' work.

Therefore, in order to make a clean sweep of the data that a company collected illicitly, it would also have to wipe out the algorithms that have ingested that data.

Bad tutorial videos got us a handful of frustrated sign-ups. With ChatGPT the problem is several orders of magnitude bigger... #ChatGPT is intended - producing a coherent, believable answer. Whether that answer is truthful does not seem to matter in the slightest.

The denials that follow are setting off heated disputes between doctors and insurers, often delaying treatment of seriously ill patients who are neither aware of the algorithms, nor able to question their calculations.

"Systematic Approaches to Learning Algorithms and Machine Inferences."

In 2012, Noam Chomsky mentioned a Lisp-language guy, #PatWinston. Winston said that, in the AI^1 field, people were directed away from "original questions." That sent me to #Chomsky's #PowersAndProspects(1996). _Prospects_ reminded me of Alex Carey's _Taking the Risk Out of Democracy_ and I now see #Mayo's #HawthorneStudies as 1927-1932 #PHacking. #GeorgeEltonMayo! in textbooks.
