The EU is about to pass legislation that'll make it impossible for generative AI startups to compete with large tech. Knowing how transformative this technology will be, I'm furious these decisions are made by legislators who simply dont fully understand what they are doing..
"Any model made available in the EU, without first passing extensive, and expensive, licensing, would subject companies to massive fines of the greater of €20,000,000 or 4% of worldwide revenue. Opensource developers, and hosting services such as GitHub... would be liable"

I can’t tell which I’m more excited about, Dolly 2.0 or the fact that we’re giving away the 15k instruction tuning records, created by thousands of Databricks employees in the last two weeks, we used to train it. Free and licensed for commercial use! 🐑 github.com/databrickslabs/do…

one thing coming up in the debate about the pause letter i really agree with: openai should make a great alignment dataset and alignment evals and release those! bonus points if we can find a prototype democratic process for 'what we align to'.

Clever paper — HyDE: Hypothetical Document Embeddings Instead of encoding the user's query to retrieve relevant documents, generate a "hypothetical" answer and encode that. Documents with right answers more similar to wrong answers than to questions. arxiv.org/abs/2212.10496
