How about this - your position is that a chemical burn from concrete cannot reach third degree? That it doesn’t happen fast enough to cause that damage?
Let me use your vernacular.
Bullshit. (Warning: NSFW)

I agree, see my other reply on this post. Assessments ARE sometimes necessary, however. In my field, we get a lot of self-taught software developers. I’ve had times where I think the candidate can do the job but can’t quite put a pin in it - but the team needs a warm seat. That’s when I pull out something stupid like FizzBuzz or a palindrome detector and ask them to pair program it with me, in the time span of the interview. If I have a choice, nobody will ever see a take-home assessment from me. I hated them when I was a junior, what kind of person would I be if I handed them out?
If you have a coherent rebuttal, I’m happy to listen. If not, Johns Hopkins has a good page on the subject.
Speaking as both a software developer and a sometime hiring manager or hiring consultant: Yes absolutely.
As a developer, if you give me something to " take home ", I expect to be paid an hourly rate for it. It doesn’t really matter if the work is going to be used thereafter or if it’s throw away. The employer gets valuable information, and I’ve spent time focused on their project to the exclusion of all else.
As a hiring manager or consultant, if I can’t get a handle on your skill set sufficient to justify the risk of a 90-day trial relationship (pretty common in the state I live in, here in the United States) within a one hour conversation, then I’ve done something wrong. Interviews I’ve led or otherwise been a part of don’t tend to last more than 15 or 20 minutes unless we really hit it off and start talking about 3d printing or something.
Note that everything I’m talking about refers to technical interviews. I don’t do the HR stuff.
Absolutely agreed. However, hiring managers need to deal with the employees on the market today. Should we simply stop hiring until the educational problems are solved? Could be a while.
The “degree” is based on the amount of damage done to flesh, bone, and skin. Each type of burn has different criteria, so yes, a third degree chemical burn will be different from a third degree flame burn, which will in turn be different than a third degree steam burn.
The United States is a first world country, and the parent comment applies here as well.
Couple of things here - what do you do with the open source models already published? There’s terabytes of data encapsulated in those. Some have published corpora, some don’t. How do you plan to determine that a work comes from an unregistered AI?
Also, with respect to “within the country” - VPNs exist. TOR exists. SD cards exist. What’s your plan to control the flow of trained models without violating civil rights?
This is a teflon slope covered in oil. (IMO)
I agree that under the current system of “idea ownership” someone needs to be held responsible, but in my opinion it’s ultimately a futile action. The moment that arbitrary individuals are allowed to download these models and use them independently (HuggingFace, et al), all control of whatever is in the model is lost. Shutting down Open AI or Anthropic doesn’t remove the models from people’s computers, and doesn’t eliminate the knowledge of how to train them.
I have a gut feeling this is going to change the face of copyright, and it’s going to be painful. We collectively weren’t ready.
Sure, but that particular horse has left the barn. There will be cases where identification is easy(-ier) but as shown in Oracle v Google, there are only so many ways to express ideas in code.
For example, I just asked Claude 2 “Write a program in C to count from 1 to some arbitrary number specified on the command line.” Can you tell me the origin of this line from the result?
for(int i=1; i<=n; i++) {
I mean, if it’s from a copyrighted work, I certainly don’t want to use it in an open-source project!
EDIT: Guessing there’s a bug in HTML entity handling.
I lived in Phoenix for a while, 05-08ish. I grew up and live in Florida now. The difference really is the “dry heat” that everybody treats as the big joke. You can still sweat in 125 and dry air. 125 in humid air doesn’t let you sweat.
IANALAIANYL. In the days before the internet, I had a family member who worked for an insurance company. Buried deep in the contract was language that allowed agents of said insurance company to come on the property at any time. Her job basically was to go to people’s houses and walk around taking photos, usually at policy start or in the case of a claim - before and after. If anybody harassed her, they were at risk of having their home insurance dropped. This was Miami in the 1980s fwiw.
It’s not technically an arrest. In a high-stakes call, the police will typically detain everybody until they can figure out what’s going on. That means potential victims as well as potential attackers. It’s a safety measure.
