I tried because I didn’t know better but eventually figured it out and just asked “can you even do inference” the answer being no


I hope you didn't ask ChatGPT itself, because it will quite happily lie about things that it doesn't or cannot do.


Why would it just be one of the first two options and never the 3rd option you presented?


Only humans get copyrights.


a human used the tool


Point to the creative expression fixed in a tangible media authored by a human. Do AI queries qualify as creative expression?


I’m playing a bit of devils advocate to see where you draw the line. For me personally I actually think nothing is creative enough to have the results owned or more to the point it’s not the effort that goes in but the literal act of creation is copying that makes something new property ie I’m against non contractual intellectual property altogether and so don’t need to draw a line based off of the action itself but instead ask what the people buying the art agreed to when they pay for an act of media creation. I’m not trying to convince you to adopt this position. I am just curious


I would have no issue if companies that receive bailouts are bared from buybacks, paying dividends and giving management bonuses until they pay back the money. But under normal circumstances buybacks are already taxed through capital gains taxes. That is more tax efficient but the solution to that is indexing the cost basis to inflation and scrapping any 50% discount not layering on more taxes.


What about base58 encoding their company name.


Caesar cypher.


That could also mean life has to get started early or it won’t at all. If that’s the case then the only observation would be that life gets started early.

How would that work? It seems to me the only that matters is that the proper conditions for abiogenesis be maintained for whatever duration it requires. It shouldn't matter how far along the Universe or planet history this period occurs


If life gets started in the violent conditions of primordial ocean in contact with primordial crust then there could be any number of factors that change that drastically lower the probability of abiogenesis happening. Like a change in the chemical makeup of the primordial ocean or crust or both. It could be the depletion or accumulation of any number of chemicals that interfere with or are needed for abiogenesis. My money would be on self catalytic reactions that use up the ingredients for abiogenesis being common in environments suitable for abiogenesis. Life could be rare because when you strike a match you should expect fire not some slow burning reaction that persistently stores information in a way that learns and if you get the fire you don’t get the life because they burn the same materials. If that is the case then life would need to be extremely lucky to exist long enough to evolve to the point where it has diversified its energy and material inputs past the point where it would be stopped in its tracks by simpler competing reactions that are closer to fire than life. I like this possibility more than simple environmental change because it makes the Ferny paradox far weirder of a calculation. Water worlds in the habitable zone for example would end up being mysteriously devoid of life since they would be perfect for non life reactions to take over where as planets with many isolated environments like lakes and tide pools could have a higher chance of recycled chemicals broken down not immediately being contaminated.
