went through the whole phase of asd-ste100 -> caveman -> wait-what -> “remove mannered prose” And a few others.. Now I just use a vale lint script I made using what worked from the skills and lint the output (docs and scripts) and just ask it to write in plain technical English for its chat messages with full context. Skills just make the entire process bloated beyond belief (apart from the needless context rot and token usage)

People here do not seem to be considering the second-order effects of these series of events. No academic institution or enterprise will trust OpenAI, Anthropic or any other non-local AI model with their core IP. There will be severe restrictions on what employees at these companies/institutions can share with AI services even from their personal accounts. (Or I am just overthinking it)

Many academics and grad students I know have closed source their in progress work, and started being really careful about what they chat with LLMs (or using local ones) because of the drama around this. No one wants four years of their life getting sniped by ten million dollars worth of tokens.

Or, if you're using, you need to push a pre-print relatively soon after AI help.

ZDR is a thing. extremely large companies with a lot of IP rights use GPT/Claude without issues.

It's competition after all. If your academic colleague doesn't care and is leveraging ChatGPT in a big way and is making progress, you'll start to feel the pressure.

i dont trust academics to not be dumb idiots. hes working with ant but using gpt. and then he cries foul? i cry dumb first

This is definitely true. So i can now justify my recent gpu purchase

If so that's an extremely good thing

You are just overthinking it. This place is now a Claude blog and anti OpenAI site.

I hold both camps equally in low regard. Depending on the time of day this blog is hyper focused on either one of the companies and can do no wrong. All LLM companies and associated entities have a track record of fudging the truth to their needs and following big money without actual concern for the wider world. Whether this is out of directed act or misplaced idealism is up for debate.

My response was not targeted towards Open-AI but towards all closed-source AI companies where your data is used for training and/or is visible to the internal agents whether you want it to or not.

I think it is fair to expect the companies to stick by their demarcation

API / enterprise subs tier is default opt out of training. Personal subsidized tier is default opt in with the option to to opt out.

I don't see a grand conspiracy beyond this.


The Chief Research Office at Open AI just put out this tweet- https://x.com/markchen90/status/2097400166554993041?s=20

Seems it doesn't matter if you opt out or in.. your data will be used for training


Clearly not what he was saying

This works well- you can swipe using touchpad; or use ctrl + arrow keys- free and open-source

I run multiple fable/opus and sol sessions for both chat and coding- I read a lot of academic papers and it grew to a point where I needed to use a reference management system like zotero to keep track of it. So I recently one-shotted a ~1000 pdf literature review folder into a .bibtex file to import into zotero. . Includes multi-step DOI extraction and multi-review steps to reduce false positives. Also can check patents via EPO API. And can interact programmatically with zotero via its API to add tags, notes etc. Very specific to my requirements and codex sol max did it in a single 8-hr goal session with very few bugs
