Private harness?

It is, yes. This is for diffui.ai, which for now is closed source.

Though weights can be finetuned and quantized.

Is it legal in this case?

Who cares?

I don't see why it should be a gray area for me to use my computer the way I want to use my computer.

cfaa has broad interpretations

AFAIK it's been interpreted that getting public data while being someone the data holder doesn't like is, unusually, one of the very few things that is not a CFAA violation. Bright Data vs X for example.

So long as the "getting" doesn't consist of circumventing something that is ostensibly a security mechanism, such as a URL that had never been presented to you by the server but is fairly easily guessed.

You mean vs Meta

Why not both?

But Nvidia isn't the only gpu maker..,

If you want alpha on things x is the place to be, aside from some discord servers. I've recently leaned off hn and onto twitter.

Law says must be NON obvious

The patent office applies a much lower "non-obviousness" threshold than how a technical person would interpret that word.

It’s old memories from the engineering school in Europe but I remember that a patent office is about collecting fees and documents, and won’t do any actual checks on the patents validities.

Whether a patent is valid is tested in court.

Some countries don't examine patents for validity, some don't search prior art but leave it to the applicant. But plenty of countries do check for validity - including USA.

Interesting. They obviously don’t check very well if they do.

Problem: the plebs are being opressed Solution: arm the oppressed New problem: civil war

So you think that legal skills / help should remain expensive?

"So you think {}" in the wild! =D

Ty, and to answer your question: No. I'm commenting on a neat parallel. Personally I like the improvements that come from fairer games.

It was a genuine question because I wasn't really understanding the point of your OP, apologies if it came off snarky.

All good :)

This is reasoning from shallow similarity. If you have not been able to find areas where AI actually does solve things, I don't know what to tell you. Go look at the number of vulnerabilities being solved. Go look at the speed of their solves. On the opposite side, go look at the number of vulnerabilities being found and exploited. Go look at the speed of their being exploited. Yes, it's a negative externality, but it's an example of an extreme productivity boost, which is easy to measure. Take a minute dropping on YouTube or X and actually look for people who are making small scale manufacturing. Look at the speed of their development cycles. Not software development cycles, real world atom development cycles. And then compare it to the speed of their development as of five years ago. Notice a difference? Even the complaints of crypto, while valid, are a bit overstated given that there are hundreds of millions of people in third world countries where money transfers are not reliable, not stable, and they depend on crypto. Yes, there's a bunch of criminals as well. I agree. My point is superficial dismissal is head-in-the-sand behavior. And that's your choice. I mean, it's fine by me.
