I know Javascript gets a bad rap but over time it's grown on me, especially with Typescript improvements when you need typing. I used to only code in C/C++ and I really like how quickly you can prototype something quickly in Javascript, especially with Node.js/npm libraries
Springer is a big deal, I saw a deal with them. They're privately held too, so less likely to disclose all the terms.
Cool, thank you. I should have googled myself before asking. For anyone else that's curious, I came across this:
Can you link/speak more about these deals with publishers? I'd be curious to read about scope of the deals
Also, based on a skim I did the other day of the current patterns, many publishers allow not-for-profit scanning and indexing for machine learning purposes. So there will likely be open source efforts that don't get sued as long as they open source their models and don't charge for them as products.
I'm not saying it's the best model, I'm just saying I think it's likely. The big publishing companies love gatekeeping themselves as it protects their revenues. The knowledge is still gatekept right now, but by the publishers. The push towards more capable LLMs is strong. I think OpenAI and the other big firms will make some kind of deal for their AIs to legally access scientific journals, and whether it's a lump sum or per-usage deal, it's probably going to be billions of dollars flowing to scientific publishers.
I think the bigger companies that make models will eventually make some kind of agreement with the large scientific publishing companies so that their models are legally defensible. Those publishing companies will make some serious money, I think. In order to make the publishing companies satisfied, those deals will probably be sizeable, news-making in dollar terms.
I’ve been listening to the entire album over the day, and I agree. The songwriting is great and the way they recorded all the different guitar textures sounds awesome.
I found this while looking into how AI companies plan to use paywalled research to train their LLMs and other foundation models. The authors' "knowledge units" remind me of semantic web efforts with triple stores
I always liked some of their other songs, I just found this one this morning and thought it was really good. Great songwriting in general from Jenkins. The feelz
